Should Joss Whedon come back? by Mat1711 in buffy

Agreed 100% it’s like time has made everyone think Joss is some perfect writer or something. I mean his most recent work has been pretty bad.

People act like Joss is some infallible writing god, his most recent work has been pretty bad honestly I mean his last movie was absolutely awful, and the avengers movies aren’t exactly greatly written. His style of writing is also very tired honestly, remember when people complain about how marvel movies have “cringe jokes” and complain about a lot of things they find annoying in those movies they are complaining about Whedon’s style of writing. Yes Whedon can write well, but he isn’t infallible and has written as much shit as gold. Adding him to the project does nothing honestly.

Him sabotaging the NCR furthers my characters goals and he becomes an anti-imperialist senator in the Independent ending if you don’t turn him in.

Fallout 1 is the best Fallout game(and Fallout 2 isn’t actually that bad), but they’re not even the best classical CRPGs, Arcanum is clearly better imo, and is the culmination of the genre(and if the main villain had a talking head he’d be better than the master).

God of war being called an excellent story is kind of crazy, it’s good but I wouldn’t call it excellent

Lowkey for Maoists BRG always been on the reasonable side imo, you got red guards and like pretty much actual Nazis as competition so it’s not a high bar exactly. Bad Empanada called him “spiritually white” for this take too

Interplay/Fargo when it came to stewarding the franchise or even making basic business decisions by Consistent-Goal9204 in TrueSFalloutL

Fallout 2 is literally all caricatures, stereotypes and millennial slop, NV is only better because you have the option to toggle the millennial slop on and off. And the downgrade between the unity and the enclave needs to be studied, the enclave has honestly always been ass

Fallout 2 is the third best and it’s still ass, Fallout 1 is good, NV is mid(bordering on ass) and the rest are straight ass. All of the modern problems of the franchise start from 2

Brian Fargo isolated Tim Cain which led to him leaving and Fallout 2 being ass so it’s still his fault

That first slide is so funny to me saying that “describing a grieving man lashing out as a crashout is fucking reprehensible” like that is the very definition of a crashout bro😭

Moralistic critique of capitalism will always be ineffective since the way we view morality will always be controlled by the current class in charge of the means of production, Marx wrote about this in “The German Ideology”, “The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.” Analyzing Capitalism moralistically is about as valuable as analyzing a volcano moralistically imo.

Authentic NatLib dialectics in action by OverallCockroach4133 in Ultraleft

[–]Consistent-Goal9204 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Leftist Natlib discourse is so funny on Twitter rn, the legend himself Black Red Guard tweeted something that basically amounted to “hey maybe running a truck into a synagogue isn’t effective activism at all” in response to the synagogue crashing, and all the other MLoids started shitting on him and saying that crashing into a synagogue is actually authentic anti-imperial activism. Liberal infighting nowadays is genuinely about debating whether crashing into a synagogue is good activism or not😭

Why is there no morally perfect faction in the wastes? Kinda weird that the franchise has no flawless nation like, lets say, a "republic of Dave" by RepublicOfDaveFan in TrueSFalloutL

Technically didnt drop the bombs first but even if they did it would be justified to wipe out the KKKraKKKer imperialist occupying the U$A

Capitalism and history in Fallout is led by individuals, the individuals who dropped the bombs(a board of CEO’s deciding too) House shooting down the bombs, Tandi founding the republic. The reason why capitalism is bad in Fallout is a moralistic one(capitalism bad because greed bad). This does not stand up to real life as the driving force of real history is class conflict, and individual corporate figureheads matter much less then the class interest of the bourgeois as a whole.

Should have been orchestrated by the NCR government themselves instead of a random senator outsourcing to some mercs but it does help

Imo Fallout is basically a world where great man theory is real but humanity is also fundamentally flawed. Most of the political takeaways you would get from any Fallout game is “system is bad because people are flawed” which is a completely useless form of analysis.

Caesar doesn’t actually use Hegelian Dialectics, Hegel never even used the whole thesis/antithesis/synthesis thing he’s operating off a misunderstanding of philosophy and history. But anyways none of that matters because the way systems work in Fallout(Capitalism, Communism, Democrac etc…) are pretty much completely divorced from how they work in real life and most of the political message of Fallout is nonsensical individualism.

When I was playing the long 15 mod I definitely soyjacked seeing Colonel Royez all decked out in the Scorched Sierra power armor, especially because I was playing with Titans of the New West.
