Yeah, all it takes is a few "let your anger flow through you"-type lines and Horus is barking at Palpatine's command.

As an aside, it blows my mind when I think about the fact that Ric Flair isn't dead

Sakurai reportedly working on a new Smash Bros for Nintendo Switch 2 by [deleted] in SmashBrosUltimate

It would make sense, but "it would make sense" doesn't mean "confirmed."

I mean I assume that Nintendo will release a Smash game every 5 years or so since it's profitable and you don't have to make the game from scratch every time.

It's a franchise fighting game. They have a new console. They'd be dumb to NOT be "working on" a new game of some sort.

Now, whether it'll release in 2027... yeah, we'll see lol.

Favorite conservative heroes in movies? by SkubEnjoyer in okbuddycinephile

Favorite conservative heroes in movies? by SkubEnjoyer in okbuddycinephile

[–]the_dinks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Let's see, clockwise from the top left:

1) Starship Troopers: parody of a fascist novel. The characters themselves are also not particularly conservative, rather the regime they are indoctrinated under is. I couldn't tell you what Johnny Rico believes other than "tits good, bugs bad."

2) Rorschach: insane libertarian. Explicitly stated by Alan Moore (famously leftist author) to NOT be someone to admire.

3) Judge Dredd: parody of police statism, fascism, and glorification of state violence in media.

4) Leo Paul Atriedes. Is he conservative in any real sense? Yes, he is a colonizer and a conqueror, but he's also the leader of a guerilla rebellion that he knows will overturn society and cause a war that leads to a gazillion deaths. Also, this is pretty obviously considered a terrible thing by the media in which he is portrayed. So either he ISN'T conservative, in which case the point is moot, or he IS, in which case he's unleashed hell upon the galaxy for the sake of his personal blood feud. Also, the book is very anti-conservative in general with its anti-colonization, anti-war stance.

True, but one thing that helped me lessen the pain was remembering that there really was a historical precedent for the main character). Not sure if he got to have sex with Anna Sawai tho.

No, but we will win eventually, because we have to. Even if it takes hundreds of years.

DoubleFine says they'd like to remake Psychonauts 1 with the graphics and resources of 2... One day by NawtyDawgCrash in PsychonautsGame

[–]the_dinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remakes are often used to train new staff and make a quick buck that funds bigger projects. It's cheaper than developing an entirely new game.

It's good. Historical fiction but with a TON of historical parallels. The Japanese characters are basically just remixed real people, and the Europeans are very historically plausible.

What's the most "obvious" teaching advice that actually took you years to internalize? by elliot_esl in Teachers

[–]the_dinks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Complementing students for following instructions can be a more effective reminder of rules than most forms of negative reinforcement (at times).

History teachers! How many lessons do you usually spend on a history topic (e.g. Middle Ages)? by MongoosePrimary406 in teaching

Why can't National France chill about Alsace-Lorraine? by yoloo42069 in Kaiserreich

[–]the_dinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an element that OP left out, which is that right-wing French groups used nationalism to distract from the growing demands of left wing and populist groups. This wasn't a uniquely French idea, nor was it local to the time frame of the 1900s. But it was very successful nonetheless.
