I CANT WAIT TO HEAR WHAT YOURE UP TO NEXT
to my understanding, they had bigger studio money backing them until they pulled out last month, so they were SUPPOSED to have more
I feel like a better spin on it would be that “we can leave other countries alone and not start wars over their oil” but idk if that would reach the target demographic as well
To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.
In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.
This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵
To be clear, the “come on, man” wasn’t targeted at you. It’s to the people who are saying the people who join the military are just evil with no nuance
I feel we are aligned, it’s just that I’m tired. I know too many people who joined the military and regret it.
Yall can’t just go and treat every service member as if they’re the ICE fascists who WANT to inflict violence. That’s not how this works, you can’t acknowledge that it isn’t the case, and then forget it the second you talk about the people who are victims of that systemic abuse
But that nuance seemingly evaporates when it comes to discussing the people who sign the dotted line in effort to save themselves and are victims of propaganda
Like, I’ll agree that they are in part responsible. This is true. They should refuse illegal orders as is their right.
But… come on, man
Really for me it’s like leftists feel like we’re losing all semblances of nuance when it comes to the people who join the military
Like, they know all the propaganda, and how it targets uninformed people, and how it targets people with little financial leverage because capitalism works as intended
You cannot believe that soldiers are fully informed about how fucked up their jobs are while simultaneously believing the American military industrial complex is exploitative of ignorant and/or poor people who need a way to provide for themselves
You cannot hold both of those ideas at once
No one should be using ChatGPT or partnering with OpenAI for anything.
It’s just as depressed as us
But will there be rhino in those pills
Somehow we've reached a point where only negativity is considered sincere. Sincerely being happy for people, or excited about things, or grateful for your industry peers - it's not accepted anymore.
It's become entirely Us vs. Them, and your position shifts based on how much negativity you bring.
If you are choosing to say “this Nazi has good points about society”, you MUST recognize that the ideas CANNOT be separated from the white supremacist, genocide-supporting, ethnic-cleansing maniac talking about them
Foundationally you are thus endorsing Nazi ideology and that is on you
This isn’t the same as Hawking. Scientific discovery and pondering about astrophysics are largely insulated from human rights violation, and the theories and discoveries can be discussed entirely separate. You don’t need to talk about Einstein avoiding the Holocaust to talk General Relativity
So I have zero horse in this race, but like
If your defense is “this guy was a human rights scourge and abuser and a Nazi, but he had good ideas about society that I think are true!” Then like… you’re defending the nazi and Nazi ideas
Man, Highguard deserves so much better
It’s a human made shitpost, that’s all we need
oh uh, hi there, holy
What I do know is that the actual amount of people who normally leave reviews is far lower than 80% of people who try the game day 1.
Not sure there are many other explanations left that account for that discrepancy
And this is a big part of what I mean about haters. The game has (mostly marketability) issues, but if people didn’t harp on it like they did (because it *checks notes* wasn’t TF|3 or HL3???) then people won’t go in expecting it to be bad
Haters killed the game
bro should really owe them money lmao
you literally do not understand the game you're criticizing which is how I know you're jaded and are talking in bad faith
the only reason I'm not playing Highguard as actively is because I am working 60 hour weeks right now, and I only have so much time, and OW just dropped a great update
Highguard is actively in my rotation, and it's a very fun time, it is a really solid and fun experience.
As I said, you're jaded.
then the phenomena of "everyone is saying it so it must be true" happens and things go bad
so yes, it's the haters fault that it was received so poorly, unjustly so
"it's a hero shooter with no hook" is like saying Sonic Crossworlds will fail because it's just a kart racer with no hook, it's only bad if you're personally jaded of that genre
But when haters scream that jaded hate from the rooftops on the negativity feedback chamber of the internet...
I’m fairly confident that at least half of those 30k only installed and played enough to be eligible to review bomb
