Old school games enjoyer: “Games used to be awesome… modern games are garbage”

🚨

Morrowind is better than Skyrim

😎

I particularly enjoy the telvanni lore

If they enjoy saying N'wah a little too much, that might be a red flag.

Hard to swallow pill that not all ESIII fans are cool

What's funny is that while Vikings are mostly remembered for their warrior culture, their success as a diaspora came more from their merchant and sailing culture. THEY were the 'immigrants.'

[-] Gloomy@mander.xyz 3 points 4 hours ago

Merchants in this case translates to slavers, so Nazis can feel right at home in that regard. Your point still stands tough.

I'm a white, Christian, male firearms enthusiast from Texas.

That's a tough combination when I'm also extremely leftist.

[-] atthecoast@feddit.nl 7 points 3 hours ago

Well, history shows leftists have been known to use firearms plenty

[-] Gloomy@mander.xyz 6 points 3 hours ago

In all fairness, male firearms are the shit 😉

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 6 points 4 hours ago

I think Christian Leftists are based and cool, you're basically THE Christians who care about what Christ actually wanted for us, but also because you're on the Left you run into r/Atheist type chuds all the time, meaning you work with people who are hostile to you because you know that it's the right thing to do.

That's pretty based and cool.

I'm not Christian myself, I learn more Buddhist in my spirituality, and even then I'm more agnostic on my ideas about God, but there's a lot I legitimately respect about the faith.

[-] Gloomy@mander.xyz 5 points 3 hours ago

Buddhism isn't a theological religion. There simply is no god in Buddhism. There are gods, yes, but they are just part of Samsara, the cycle of birth and rebirth, like everybody else.

So beeing agnostic is right in point in that regard, if not even completly atheistic.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago

I did differentiate my spirituality from my ideas on God for a reason.

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago

Why only a "male firearms enthusiast", what about the female firearms? Maybe your not as big of a leftist as you thought.

[-] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

One's sex is not a political stance...

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 17 points 5 hours ago

It's an Oxford comma joke. The way it's structured reads like "male-firearms" enthusiast, as in an enthusiast of "male firearms".

Me getting hot and bothered when cocking the shotgun

Anytime someone starts dropping Warhammer lore, or shows a love of Boomer Shooters, I know I'm going to despise that person or they'll be my best friend, no middle ground, and I don't even like Warhammer.

[-] merdaverse@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

What's wrong with boomer shooters?? The whole genre was founded on killing nazis

[-] jose1324@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Tell that to the nazi enjoyers

[-] syreus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes let's let assholes poison our views of innocuous hobbies. That will show them. /s

We shouldn't reinforce their echo chamber. Better to just do whatever makes you happy and deal with the assholes as they reveal themselves.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 21 points 6 hours ago

I do home canning and a fair deal of baking. There's a lot of trad bullshit around this that makes me just go "I'm canning cause I love me some candied jalapeños, not because my husband demands I do"

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

You just reminded me I need to get a good lemon marmalade recipe

[-] catsarebadpeople@sh.itjust.works 21 points 7 hours ago

Nazi punks fuck off. This is not a good example. Every metal enjoyer I know is progressive. It's one of the few communities that is still mostly sane and decent.

[-] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Uh... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Anselmo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_black_metal I mean, they can fuck off, and they're definitely a minority, but they absolutely exist as parts of the roots and present structure of metal music.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 6 points 5 hours ago

Ask the norwegian black metal community about that :D

I've been collecting comics off and on since I was a pre-teen in the early 90's. I think I had less than 100 books up until about 2013 when I got back into collecting comics. I fell out of the hobby for about 4 more years and got back into it pretty hardcore in 2017 or so and have been pretty consistently involved since then. During the pandemic I learned that there was an entire community of comic collectors on YouTube that made videos about collecting. It was pretty great at first, but over time, I started to realize that a lot of them leaned right. Then more time passed and I realized it was more than a lean. After the most recent election, a lot of YouTube comic book videos became overtly political in support of this shit we're currently enduring. The people that lean left don't seem to say anything against it, and so I felt pretty isolated. I no longer watch YouTube comic videos, but I still collect comics. I just do it as a solo hobby once again.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

What kind of comics do you collect?

I'm a tiny collector but I almost exclusively do european stuff from the seventies to the nineties (Moebius, Metal hurlant, all the goofy stuff too like Philemon).

I mean if you collect like the Hulk I guess you're in another mindset. No judgement! I love Scott Campbell for example :-)
