Evil communism is all grey jumpsuits, grey shirts, grey pants. Uh, taking your property forcefully for daring to grow tomatoes or something or collect rainwater
wow it’s almost like evil dystopic communism has a lot of things in common with real world capitalism!!
also a lot of the famous dystopian novels were written in times you couldn’t just throw a criticism out about capitalism or the western government it’s only decades of college freshman later that we’ve gone “huh…maybe some of these aren’t about communism at all, actually.”
I don’t know if there’s really 1 to 1 correspondence there. I mean F451 and Brave New World are pretty openly about people being lulled into complacence with entertainment, the critiques of contemporary western culture are pretty overt, but at the same time I don’t think the anti-communist elements of those and other books are just lip service either. I think in all cases the overall fear tends to be more about loosing “individuality” regardless of whatever the forces taking it away are, which is something I have mixed feelings about I guess. Individuality is kind of overrated.
All the women I’ve ever met think that they, as well as men, look terrible in grey. I disagreed but it never got me a girlfriend in grey pants. Grey pants make your ass look bigger and I like that but women don’t, I don’t get it
I won e3 with the criticism that spider-man looks like the ultimate focus tested game meant for every person on the planet to be able to complete every possible bit of because that’s who people make games for now
I think the biggest shocks for me were how much that new Mario game looks like Sonic 2006 done a little bit better but still drab and dreary and sad, and Mario x Rabbids being Xcom. Have to admit I’d play Mario Xcom, though
The only part of this whole mess that I watched was the Quake “trailer.” So are they trying to seem more adult by marketing it as an E-Sports activity rather than a game about space monsters shooting each other? Because I can’t think of anything more immature than buying a video game because it was marketed as a means to fame and fortune.
Maybe that’s just the way to go nowadays, with millions of people watching pro players on twitch. Maybe that’s the Secret To Success for multiplayer shooters?
