    Murder mystery as a genre did a massive damage to the society by convincing people that the police is good at solving murders. I believe that a large number of people are actually skeptical or cynical about the performance of the police, but they kept thinking about the murders and serial killers and thought "Without the police, who would solve all the murders?".

    Except of course, in reality the police actually fucking sucks at solving murders and mysteries.

    He never really states it but he seems to hate the fanservice and objectification common in JRPGs, like I think that was the primary reason why he hates Xenoblade.

    Which is cool honestly.

    The Soviets elevated their land from being one of the worst place to live on Earth into an industrial powerhouse with standard of living reaching the level of those in the western empires in just about 2 decades in what those western states took 100 years to achieve, all without having to commit brutal wealth extraction of the global south that goes even farther back than the industrial revolution.

    Communists are just build different.

    Picasso could easily smoke the guy on the left in the term of realism.

    Fun fact: Plenty of "modern" artist can do "classical" art just fine, it's that they choose not to.

    For the longest time when I was a teen I had a more nihilistic take on this movie: life fucking sucks and you could work hard all day in your life only for some lucky chump to take it all.

    Jenny spend her life trying to pursue what she wanted while Forrest just bumbles through his life and got everything going his way. Lieutenant Dan wanted to become a big American warrior hero, something cruelly denied from him while Forrest became one without any intention to do so. Bubba died pointlessly. Then there's the running sequence where Forrest who were just running for no reason at all came across numerous people struggle with their dreams and solves it for them unknowingly as he passes by.

    But yeah, as a leftist now the reactionary subtexts are much more apparent and my reading was the result of my at the time ignorance of American culture at the time, which says a lot that I perceived what was supposed to be a conservative triumph story into a story about how life is cruel and arbitrary.

    I'm now 100% sure that every most negative analysis of Harry Potter (the goblins are jews, house elfs are pro slavery propaganda, the greater theme is eugenics) are true.

  • Porkies have to spent billions of dollar in researching psychology to create an insane emotion manipulation system in their games to even reach the level of addiction Tetris reached decades ago. Something Tetris achieved by pure good gameplay. Imagine if the USSR still exist today (:ussr-cry:), we would've seen a game so good we would just straight up fucking dies. edit: Considering that games from post-eastern bloc countries continues to blow away western and Japanese in the terms of creativity means that this isn't really a joke. :lt-dbyf-dubois: made in the Estonian SSR would send you writhing on the floor speaking in tongues.

    The kingdoms and duchies are westphalian in nature. Borders are extremely firm, there are no marchers between states, there are little to no disputes about what land belongs to who. The subdivisions of barons and manors are treated like modern bureaucratic divisions instead of the statelets they are historically. Both the nobility and peasantry are nationalistic, the former limits their affairs entirely within their border and never ventures ventures into foreign courts; those who do are seen as treacherous; while the latter hold their loyalty to the abstract concept of their state and are surprisingly well educated in the civics of their country. Their military are professional, with the levy treated like modern conscripts while the warrior class are sword-wielding special forces. The church are also surprisingly secular, they gain their power through abstract social influence over the faithful instead of through their ownership of their own estates and domains. The economy is capitalistic. Land ownership is treated with modern sensibility where owning a mere piece of paper (or parchment) grants one an inalienable and exclusive right over that land, unlike how it historically was where ownership is often a heavily disputed issue and a source of endless feuds. Likewise, there are no such thing as "the commons" in fantasy and fiction land, all lands are already surveyed, enclosed, and subdivided by offscreen surveyors that must've been either magical or superhuman to accomplish such feat without modern technology. The merchants are medieval capitalists who often owned means of productions with weavers and millers employed for fraction of their surplus values. Independent ventures like the blacksmiths and shops are treated small business who simply are yet to hit their big break, and will turn into big capitalists with chains of smithies and shops if possible. TL:DR: it is easier to imagine magical dragons than to imagine a world without capitalism.

    https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2022/01/bringing-hypersonic-missiles-to-the-fleet-a-case-study-analysis/ To the less military-brained folk here, the concept is to take land-based missile launcher trailer and plops them on the deck of the ships. This would be like if you have a warship with no gun so you just park a tank on the deck to make it up.

    Like these asshats knew damn well that pretty much everyone thinks that their games are ass, so they make these ads featuring fake games that actually looks interesting in order to trick people into thinking that they're downloading a good game. Capitalism breeds innovation :porky-happy: .
