Also, now that Arc Radiers has nearly the same 70s/80s inspired scifi look, I feel completely justified in my claims when Concord flopped that it wasn't the aesthetics. It was first and foremost that it was a full price hero shooter when nobody wants a new hero shooter.

The outrage over Concord continues to be dumb as shit.
The "development cost" is what Sony paid for the studio, not the actual budget.
It tried to barge its way into a genre dominated by Marvel, Blizzard, and Riot games.
But the most annoying people online needed a "win", so they claimed one.

Is the GOP responsible for the giant, racist billboards lining the roads right outside my city? How about the neo-Nazi groups that occasionally prowl my city? How about the family members of mine that have sworn violence against the left or outright said racial slurs at family gatherings?

That really doesn't materially change anything about my response. You're holding the Dems accountable not for their own stances, words, and policies, but for the things randos you've encountered have said? It's nonsense and entirely the far-right's propaganda working on you.

I'm personally enjoying all the pearl clutching over Jay Jones winning VA AG. The party of "fuck your feelings" pretending to act scared and upset is just too funny.

So a highly motivated, selective interpretation of the usually cherry picked views of a handful of, teenagers, people online, and a sliver of academics, largely pushed using tactics pretty much identical to the tactics of GamerGate (i.e. "but look what this person on Tumb... I mean Twitter said!")

Eulogizing a man that lied to launch the US into a war that cost 1.3 to 2 million lives, destabilized the Middle East, and paved the way for fascism in the US, all to enrich himself and his DOD contractor friends is bad, actually.

I'm only unhappy he died because he didn't rot to death in a cell. Ideally one with no windows and a welded shut vault door on it.
I absolutely consider him one of the biggest monsters in US history if not history in general.

I mean yeah Matty's posts on bluesky have been pretty consistent from what I've seen: electoral politics means the Dems should actively try to drag the Overton window indefinitely rightward, values and material improvements to people's lives be damned.

But no you see that's different because we willingly see Republicans as a reflexive force, a pure instinct with no will or intention unto itself therefore Trump's plainly stated promises and well documented actions simply don't count.

Yeah but if I don't utterly caricaturize the leg, how else can I justify my years and years of peddling Murc's law?

Damn dude sounds like you should stop doing asymmetric analysis to help build a double standard then.

I'd say we shouldn't ignore it; we should change our response. They want you outraged and appalled because its exhausting. The effective response, the one they genuinely are afraid of, is making fun of them as immature weirdos that think fascism will make them feel like big strong boys.

Well yeah it's the "flood the zone with shit" strategy.
They know it's dumb. The smart ones among them know it's a mismatch with the ideas of the series, and that calling immigrants "the Flood" is horrifying.
It reinforces their "just memes" smokescreen, and keeps you busy.

Actually that goes back about a decade to when GamerGate first blew up. "Self censorship" was one of their primary complaints until they eventually gave that up because it's obviously a dumb as fuck complaint (media always undergoes edits before release, especially when made by a team).
