Probably the most popular game ever here in the Balkans. It's a thing where we were so little here and obviously didn't know a lick of English, we would just type in cheats and blow shit up. It's so culturally relevant, there are still Balkan multiplayer servers even to this day.

It's looking like we already have him in vivek

Isn't Trump kinda the one to bring that about tho? Idk much about howard dean, but I assume he was at least somewhat respected as a politician beforehand. With that scream, in a kind of patriarchical society creating a mythos of education and prestige around politicians, revolving around political etiquette that scream is simply seen as infantile and unserious. Trump entered politics as that kind of infantile and unserious candidate in the first place, being a cartoonish, stereotypical, Saul Goodman-esque figure. In the end, it's all about expectations that people set. Nobody believed agent orange would win, but in the end he did because he represented a kind of tonal shift in american politics, not to mention straight up saying what all these bourgeois politicians already believed anyway. In the same way LGBTQIA+ want to practice their sexuality without the fear of being killed, beaten or prosecuted, that is the same way in the opposite direction in which fascists want to freely express their racist, sexist, homophobic views without any consequences. Trump said these things out loud, and republicans found him 'cool' because he didn't beat around the bush, at least in the public, about their true beliefs.

Ultimately, Trump isn't some anomaly. He's just a natural unmasking of the fascist paradigm of amerikkka.

I literally saw this image on the local when we were playing amerikkka in the olympics, but when I went back to find it, I couldn't.

But this guy should 100% become an emote lmao

I think I know what you mean

The true irony of paradox games is actually owning EU4, but still pirating it because the DLCs are like half the fucking game.

As a non usasian, I think that at this point it's more about who can mobilize their base more than it is fighting for some imaginary independents. Kamala had some hype at the beginning, but now it's entirely artificial and on reddit. Trump is a known commodity, but at this point he's washed compared to 2016, especially since not even 2 assassination attempts can raise his ratings. I guess in the end, it's better to bet on republicans to go out and than the democrats.

I have never played any Final Fantasy games, but looking at Ubisoft, I honestly appreciate them at least putting a number on their ridiculousness. Considering AC officially only counts to 4, you honestly wouldn't think they already made 14 of these fucking games (including shadows).

1000%. Like, where the fuck will these games even be set? Ancient China, Medieval/Colonial Spain, Medieval Africa maybe?

If the franchise wasn't such garbage nowadays (but I realized that it honestly always was, especially when people take off the rose tinted glasses), I would seriously love something that could truly cover the place that was Russia before and during the October Revolution (image a game where you could organize soviets and general resistance to imperialist rule). But as someone else said, considering how they portrayed Marx, I don't want them touching that shit with a 10 foot pole.

When you come at the king, you best not miss

Somebody more knowledgeable correct me, but wasn't the whole nuclear winter thing debunked already?
