Something about those awkward hand gestures really gets me going.

I'd LOVE to hear the explaination from the 1 downvote.

[–] B312 36 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Playing devil’s advocate here. It’s probably people who think no matter what, every single life is precious and should be preserved.

Edit: I feel like I should probably add that I do not agree with this ideology whatsoever. Facists deserve a good beating

There's all the explanation you need.

You expect Nazis and their sympathizers to have a brain and form coherent sentences, huh?
I fear, there are at least some who do and those are even more dangerous than the typical braindead Nazi.

For no reason at all? No, no, no. For all of the right reasons? Oh, for sure.

Blasting Nazis in wolfesntein is fun but not as fun as the real thing >:3

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 week ago

"No reason"

They're nazis, friend! That's all the reason we need!

[–] kaosof 30 points 1 week ago

I've been punching nazis and Italian fascists (as well as shooting, crushing skulls with heavy objects, blowing them up etc) in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle since around christmas.

It's a great time.

Also Sniper Elite 4 and 5, and The Saboteur. The Saboteur has boobies and we can all agree on boobies.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I just looked it up, very positive reviews and very cheap. No mention of boobies in the feature list but it has this:

Key features:

  • First Ever Open-World Paris

Thank god, FINALLY someone did it.

I suggested we play Sniper Elite 4 to my girlfriend recently. She's not usually one for shooter games (she's more of a Stardew Valley/Animal Crossing/Cozy Grove/Coral Island type of gamer), and I wasn't sure she'd like it. She thought she wouldn't, but she's happy to try out a suggestion of mine every once in a while even if she thinks we won't play it much.

We loaded into San Cellini island and she initially struggled with the controls and how to aim and shoot. The gravity and wind effects weren't super easy to grasp either (she's on the Steam Deck as well, making it slightly harder to aim too). She accidentally shot a couple times as I was giving her a quick tutorial, which attracted a Nazi soldier to investigate and try and shoot her (which scared her a bit as she got hit). Off to a rocky start, and I could tell she wasn't enjoying it at all.

We got to the first tower, where the game gives you a pretty good view of the area and lets you fairly securely shoot a bunch of Nazi soldiers. Time to shoot! Here we learned she gets a bit jumpscared if the game suddenly shows you a slow-motion killcam, especially if I was the one triggering it. Again, not a great start for her.

She struggled, but did hit a couple of them. Then on the 3rd or 4th kill, the game showed her the magic words after the kill: "TESTICLE SHOT". This caught her completely off guard, immediately exclaiming "WAIT DOES THAT MEAN I SHOT HIS BALLS OFF?!". I have never witnessed her doing a complete 180 degrees turn on her opinion of a game. Suddenly the game became extremely enjoyable for her. The first time she had a killcam where she could see the Nazi balls pop one after the other was like giving her crack cocaine or something. Total bloodlust.

We've played through the entire campaign in a span of two weeks, then the DLC, the overwatch missions (twice to play both roles) and now the survival maps. Every evening after dinner she asks if we can "shoot more Nazi balls". Her spirit animal is Hugo Stiglitz at this point.

God I love that woman.

Let the mods flow in (as in game mods, not moderators...)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hmmm, reinstalling Wolfenstein doesn't sound too bad.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I've been toying with the idea. So many good memories from New Colossus. It might be linear, it's such a great story. Not Shakespeare great, but honest b-movie great.

Wolfenstein 3D was woke propaganda. At least that will be the official article if Trump and the right get their hands on Wikipedia like they've already said they want to.

Not for "no reason at all"

Blasting Nazis needs no reason

[–] jeffw 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was literally googling earlier today to see if there were any updates on the next installment. Maybe it was subconsciously influenced by current events?

[–] Renacles 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Machine games has been working on Indiana Jones for the last few years, I doubt we'll see anything for a while.

I've had some fun Anti-Nazi movies playing while I work-from-home lately, like Inglourious Basterds and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

bj would have been beyond devastated about what is happening now

[–] EntirelyUnlovable 10 points 1 week ago

There's a line in New Colossus where he's in the USA during a parade for the Nazis and everyone is cheering and he says something like "look at them, cheering for their own destruction" and I keep being reminded of it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

BJ saw it in 60s US, and you know what he did?

He got to work.

Remember folks, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory lives on as an open source project.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

But 2nd amendment states your duty as a citizen to grab a gun and defend against nazis irl?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Brutal Wolfenstein is a very fun game, you truly get to experience spilling Nazi blood :3

Someone is going to release a Trump administration reskin and it's going to be spectacularly popular.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Shadowrun: Dragonfall has a satisfying mission where you get to shoot up a neo-nazi compound.

[–] Nindelofocho 5 points 1 week ago

I was actually thinking about picking it up now
