Hot Wheels & Marxism
(lemm.ee)
So, I just read 2 paragraphs of theory and it’s got me wondering: is collecting Hot Wheels cars antithetical to Marxism?
It would seem that, after my reading, while saving my money ultimately removes all humanity from myself, spending my money (especially in such a manipulative and exclusivity-focused market) is also enabling the very worst of the capitalist forces I aim to stand against.
How do I win? Also: Vroooooooooooom
Bro what and the hell is this? Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that in fact a car racing board game? That is AWESOME
It's a tabletop wargame with different scenarios, including a death race a la Twisted Metal. Gaslands takes place in a Mad Max style future where players convert and paint old Hotwheels and Matchbox cars into post-apocalyptic war machines. Some examples I pulled from Google:
The original pic I posted was someone's table they built for playing the game. Personally, I don't play it but I know it's a good game to get wargamers into because it gets them used to things like scratch building, model agnostic rules, and away from Games Workshop products.
Bro this is such a cool hobby, thanks for introducing me to it. I actually build Gundam models, and I feel like using parts from those kits would be perfect for game pieces.
Damn. Just another thing I’ll probably start spending waaayyyy too much time and money on…. My favorite! lmao
Oh if you're into gunpla you already have everything you need lol. Use leftover sprues to make weapons and whatnot.
