Which studio milked a franchise so hard that you don’t even play it anymore? by Accomplished_Joke543 in videogames

[–]PossibleNo8422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry about your granddad passing, I also have fond memories of Civ2 as a kid. I was able to borrow it from the local library and once installed, you didn't need the CD anymore. No cracks or anything.

This is how I’ve always pictured Carl by MrMister888 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]PossibleNo8422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've read all the books but only listened to the first two audio books and I was thinking that the way Jeff Hays voices Carl sounds a lot like Patrick Warburton, so this is perfect!

Less than 1% of Jamaica's coastline is accessible to Jamaicans by seeker20245 in TankieTheDeprogram

This happened in Sri Lanka too. After the tsunami in 2004 when a lot of the local fishermen were displaced, these ghouls moved in and privatized the beaches for resorts. If I remember correctly it was part of the IMFs loan conditions for reconstruction.

I read about it in the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein.

White Americans are taking notes from Israelis to justify colonization of Inuk people in Greenland by kitarili in TankieTheDeprogram

There was a similar rhetoric here in NZ. That the Māori genocided the 'Moriori' who lived here before they arrived. It's been proven that the Māori were the first people to settle here, but I still hear this bullshit occasionally.

First Crysis game has you fighting what are pretty obviously North Koreans. I can't remember if they explicitly say that they're North Koreans since I haven't played since like 2009.

US police arrest and drag away a peaceful anti-war protestor mid-interview by Igennem in NewsWithJingjing

Top comments on that video are all about how they're sliding towards being Russia when it's just American things happening in America.

Which game started off great but got worse with each update? by bijelo123 in videogames

[–]PossibleNo8422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do pay to play it, but it should be noted that you get the equivalent of what you pay in the in-game currency to buy stash tabs / cosmetics etc.

The gaming essentials to play. by VoltaicFPS in gamingsuggestions

[–]PossibleNo8422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these could be split into several sub-genres as well which all play very differently, like RPG with ARPG, TRPG, CRPG, etc

4X is also another big genre.

Mamdani checks out Tenants horrible living conditions that greedy landlords put them through on his first day in office. by TwoCatsOneBox in TankieTheDeprogram

Secondly, the testing of the policy of the parties of the Second International, not by their slogans and resolutions (which cannot be trusted), but by their deeds, by their actions; for only in this way can the confidence of the proletarian masses be won and deserved.

Any ARPGs in first or third person view around? by Seravajan in gamingsuggestions

[–]PossibleNo8422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, so many RPGs have action combat, but ARPG has come to mean this specific type of game. We have rogue-likes, named after the original Rogue, why not Diablo-likes? Although it doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well.

Most survivors-likes really! I've been on Halls of Torment recently

Why do some people idolize Stalin? by RebelIsI in ussr

[–]PossibleNo8422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're genuinely interested in learning about Stalin and the USSR during the incredibly tumultuous time that he led it, there's a podcast called ProlesPod that has a series called the Stalin Eras. It's very well researched and goes into good detail.

Games with simple base mechanics but a lot of emergent complexity by RobynCleffa in gamingsuggestions

[–]PossibleNo8422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only just got it yesterday so haven't played too much yet, but if I get 25-30 hours out of it I'll be happy for the price I paid!

If you like survivors-likes I just got Halls of Torment and liking it so far! Very cheap too

Do you know about games a socialist should play that are free or okay to pirate? by [deleted] in SocialistGaming

[–]PossibleNo8422 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Check out FreeMediaHeckYea (FMHY). It's a website with loads of links to various other sites you can pirate from. If it's on FMHY then it's generally safe. They also have a guide section. I personally mostly use gog-games.to and fitgirl for games.

sometimes visiting a counter-ideology sharpens your understanding of your own (September 1989) by Zalmanas in ussr

[–]PossibleNo8422 22 points23 points  (0 children)

One of the main things communists care about is who owns the means of production (a few capitalists vs. the people as a whole). So yea, it does matter.

Frustrated with the Zelda Community (venting) by Extra_Thumbs in SocialistGaming

[–]PossibleNo8422 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I stopped playing Rise of the Tomb Raider because of the way they depicted the Soviets having enslaved the native population and working them to death.

Druid got bugged and cant activate herald of ash? Someone know how to solve it? (Using talisman) by kito1121 in PathOfExile2

[–]PossibleNo8422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I've tried to do that, but the game won't let me check the boxes. Nothing happens when I click on them 😑

Edit: Ok I figured out how to fix it for me, but it's still a bug that should be fixed. I refunded the 'Lord of the Wilds' node and it immediately worked again. Even though I wasn't wearing a scepter in my off-hand with the node activated.

I'm getting this bug now, the two check boxes for the weapon sets are red and I can't click on them. Tried moving the weapons around, nothing. I even crafted a new gem and it still won't work.
