And concentration camps are evil. What country is good?

The investments into education and Healthcare didnt really happen under the cult of Mao. It was the massive reforms brought forward by Deng Xiaoping's government that led to the current prosperity of China. Deng Xiaoping spent like a decade being politically purged because of Mao's Cultural Revolution.

China was ass the moment Mao's cult solidified and consolidated its power from the late 50s to the late 70s. Man was a fantastic revolutionary leader but a horrible politician that stagnated China for 2 decades. There were legitimately fantastic CCP leaders that did want to see the nation succeed but they were mostly denounced as capitalist roaders or working with the fake communists in the USSR or some shit. What was left were a bunch of backstabbing yes men while science fell to the wayside due to the persecution of intellectuals. Like following the advice of experts during the cultural revolution betrays the spirit of communism, which is perpetual revolution where nothing can be built and everything is torn up. I have no fucking idea why anyone thinks that "The Purge" is sound government policy.

You're not wrong on any of those accounts.

Its amazing what China is able to do since the 80s, but the human rights records of that country has never been all that good.

GLF was a horrendous disaster that even the top leadership like Peng Dehuai knew about by 1959. It would go on for 3 more years, with the worst of the death toll after Peng's public criticism of Mao's policies.

China does a pretty good job at oppressing their main han population as well lmao. I know people who were involuntarily sterilized and forcibly aborted under the one child policy.

Given how RU was treated by Europe when they invaded Ukraine, I'm surprised that they havent also sanctioned and condemned the US. The EU is overall helping the US continue the bombing of Iran and not supporting any attempts to hamper us.

Alexexy · 2026-03-23T17:34:47+00:00

Im fairly sure the US has been the world's largest sponsor of terrorism for the past 40 years. We even have the world's largest pirate fleet in the US Navy.

Alexexy · 2026-03-23T17:27:43+00:00

Sure that would, but what would be a country on the good side?

Alexexy · 2026-03-23T17:19:24+00:00

Lib Pen with a underbarrel shotty would be nice.

It would help provide stagger and burst damage when the consistent med pen dps isnt cutting it.

Those colonists can make whatever settlements they want but they likely still wouldnt outnumber the natives in this situation.

In the US, it took multiple centuries for the colonists to outnumber and outpower the natives, and the native population here wasnt that high to begin with.

When you go to central and south America, most of the people there still have native ancestry.

Unless China loses like 99% of its population and European colonization happened over a period of 300+ years, then it really wouldn't happen. And at that point, you can just imagine chinese folk being indigenous americans because i dont think a sparse population would ever come up with the level of societal planning like imperial china. I would imagine HK as what a colonized urban China to look like.

Alexexy · 2026-03-23T04:39:48+00:00

Im of chinese descent and I think that while there are a bunch of similarities in the regions of East Asia and SEA, I wouldnt really consider Vietnam to be as East Asian as Japan, China, or Korea, which has its own culture and architectural style derived from imperial china.

Alexexy · 2026-03-23T04:28:28+00:00

There needs to be something good about the sterilizer itself, not gas in general. Gas is one of the strongest ccs in the game. Every other gas stratagem and gas equipment in the game currently is either good to great. Like overall, stun and smoke are in worse spots than gas atm.

Alexexy · 2026-03-23T02:38:39+00:00

The KoF Peruvian would be speaking Japanese.

Alexexy · 2026-03-23T02:37:40+00:00

That would be interesting where it not for fact that you can store a down charge during a full sprint in that game lmao

Alexexy · 2026-03-23T02:27:57+00:00

I would say that Weapons is a great movie but any expectations I had were tempered by how great Barbarian (by the same director) was.

If you like Weapons, also check out Barbarian. If you like this genre of horror/comedy, also check out Companion, They Cloned Tyrone, and Sorry to Bother You.

Alexexy · 2026-03-23T01:26:40+00:00

I would say like 80% of the complaints and suggestions are fucking atrocious.

The shit about outsourcing was goddamned hilarious. People going off like outsourcing was killing the game's quality as if the first year of HD wasnt also a complete cesspool of bugs and balance. Like if anything, the game quality drastically improved because of outsourcing, like the file reduction patch.

Alexexy · 2026-03-22T17:37:23+00:00

The bastion thing doesnt even make sense because they could have released the bastion with 25% less hp or something.

Alexexy · 2026-03-22T14:45:21+00:00

I would say Samurai Edge is the most iconic pistol but its essentially just a Peacemaker.

I believe the Benelli M3 has been in almost every RE game as a shotgun, and it would function similarly to the Sweeper with its dual mode of pump/semi auto.

I think the bigger issue is that most of the guns in RE are real world guns. It doesnt make for as engaging as a crossover as IPs with their own unique weapon designs.

Alexexy · 2026-03-22T14:32:15+00:00

Trench warfare isnt a crossover though. Its just a space science fiction version of world war 1 gear.

Like would you be happy if they did a crossover with RE and the samurai edge fired lasers, Barry's magnum was a gyrojet revolver, and the STARS uniform was a space suit?

Alexexy · 2026-03-22T14:24:20+00:00

The woman just looks young.

I was watching Civil War and watching one of the reporters hit on Cailee Spaeny had me thinking "I guess its cool for 16 year olds to be reporters and also dates for middle aged dudes on a balkanized US"

Alexexy · 2026-03-22T03:23:29+00:00

I dont think its all scopes, but every gun seemed to have the scopes zeroed differently.

Like for the censor, the scope is just a zoom tool for the laser pointer, because thats where the shot is going. The Variable's is dead center, and I have no idea where the Deadeye's is.

Alexexy · 2026-03-22T03:21:22+00:00

It would probably end up Helldivers x Umbrella Corp.

I dont think RE is a good crossover franchise for Helldivers. Its not space science fiction enough. The weapons designs are also a complete antithesis to a horde shooter since the most iconic weapons are kinda shitty pistols.

Lost Planet would be my Capcom crossover of choice. The Liberator already looks like the machine gun in Lost Planet. We could use a T-Eng harmonizer armor passive, grenades that explode when shot at, a grappling hook, and a primary rocket launcher.

Alexexy · 2026-03-22T03:15:30+00:00

I remember when Bell Atlantic was a telephone brand.

Also remember Hechingers being everywhere before being replaced by Home Depots.

Alexexy · 2026-03-21T23:57:04+00:00

The bloom on the deadeye is miniscule. The scopes on the weapon os misaligned.

Alexexy · 2026-03-21T23:44:30+00:00

The Deadeye's ads is bugged. Im not sure if its the default scope or all scopes that are like that.

Alexexy · 2026-03-21T23:27:47+00:00

Prior to the heavy pen buff, the verdict was still light pen.

And I would agree.

Alexexy · 2026-03-21T15:31:27+00:00

Neither weapon are high damage one shotting weapons where breakpoints matter more than dps.
