  • In a way that they have been historically awful and thwarted by the courts is a thing that worries me. I’d expect that somebody the past 8 years went ‘this time we will not be bogged down in that’. But considering they went 100% in on repression from day 1 I’m slightly less worried about that.

    For context, going all in on day 1 is actually bad for them, when the nazis took over The Netherlands/Belgium they methods there differed. In .nl they worked slowly and with gov already there, in .be they went full pogroms a lot faster. This meant that in .be a lot of people saw the threat sooner (WW1 and Belgium prob also didn’t help) and acted and took better care of the vulnerable. The amount of Dutch Jewish people who survived ww2 vs Belgian Jewish people is very tragic. (and a very dark part of our history which we don’t really talk about like this as mentioning that parts of your own country also are to blame for the holocaust is not a thing a lot of people want to talk about). At least I hope that stuff like going all crazy on the bishop will turn out to be big wakeup for random Americans and a strategic mistake on their part, they certainly didn’t seem to have learned from the nazis (at least not this lesson, which fits with how fascism is blind for their own mistakes).


















  • There is also so much wrong with this, first his Poe2 playthrough makes any statements he makes about diablo weird. (dragging gear to inventory instead of just picking it up with a closed inventory (or prob using something like ctrl/shift (right) click, I only played up to d3) is so fucking weird even my mom wouldn’t do it). Then, assuming there is no ladder which tracks region, dungeon and class used (I looked and first clears seem to be tracked via youtube, at least that was what a search showed me), there is a ladder for cleartime however (and Musk was high on that one for one dungeon (abusing bug (still counts of course, but bug usage should be disclosed for Gamer Honour!)).

    So they (or more likely he did to try and impress his manic pixie dreams of facism girl) made up a whole category for him to be first in which is such a scrub move. (Otoh, channeling the silly speedrunner tomatoangus (the g is silent), making up your own categories for your own enjoyment is fine, take care of your mental health, and remember no feeling is final, feelings of dread, hopelessness or despair do not define the rest of your life).

    I also assume that Felix is the person who made Polytopia, beating the creator at their own game is a fun thing to do, but usually not mega impressive, as developers rarely reach the skillceilings in their own games. (or the game could just be random enough).

    What is also funny is what she doesn’t mention. She actually beat him at Polytopia via an epic anime betrayal, which caused him to throw a massive fit (source also note as above that getting mad over this is massive scrub behaviour, and throwing a fit over this is not something I expect of people out of their teens/early twenties).
