  • No problem mate. The thread is a mess, but if you read the comments below the top pinned one, you’ll see most of the salient points that pissed people off. The “color” i mentioned above came from all over that thread, with some of it deleted. I know he edited/deleted the “triggered” comment when he was called out, but he never expanded on why he claimed the GOP was the “party of the little guy” and why all the “corporate dems needed to be thrown out” to get anything done. He also opted not to respond at all to people asking why he thought the party of tech billionaires was suddenly going to crack down on tech billionaires besides saying he really liked J.D Vance, a tech millionaire whose political run was funded by, get this, tech billionaire Peter theil.

    Dude fawned very publicly over tech billionaire maga, who will do clearly do nothing for privacy and monopoly busting, while pretending that the real issue is chuck shumers and establishment dems.

    The bias is clear and prominent.

    Here is a general write up about the CEO showing their maga colors.

    More happened in the reddit thread though that added some more elements, like the ceo opting for a new user name with “88” in it (a common right wing reference), his unprompted use of the phrase “didnt mean to trigger you,” him evasively refusing to clarify what his stance actually was because “that would be more politics,” on and on. You can read through that thread here, although proton corporate are mods, so i have no idea what they may have deleted at this point.

    The thread was full of “mask on” behavior that is pretty transparent to anyone experienced with the alt right on the internet.










  • Extremely lopsided balance between factions. Most had interesting mechanics, some basically useless and some wildly overpowered. Apparently the new-ish aqua faction has an overwhelming mobility advantage, things like that.

    They added these game changing titans to the game at one point that you could defeat and employ, but this was either just luck of the draw or not possible for some factions.

    Combat was meh to boring, generally. The “look at us go” turn based zoom in fights were very boring to watch, and more boring to play.

    The game dragged. Just dragged, to finish. I played dozens of times, and I dont think i fully finished the game more than maybe 3 times.

    All that said, the games world building, plot, and overall interesting mechanics makes me hopeful for this sequel. If they can keep the fascinating lore going and fix the “game” issues, i’ll be there for it.


  • The article updated. He got 16 and 6 years, running concurrently. Near the top end of the guidelines, which lines up with how cops should be sentenced when they abuse their power.

    If you have any doubt that it was justified, here is what he did:

    King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg said Thursday that Nelson escalated the situation with Sarey, failed to wait for backup before confronting him, and that the level of force he used was unreasonable: Nelson repeatedly punched Sarey in the head after grappling with him, shot him once in the upper abdomen and then, as the wounded Sarey reclined on the ground about 7 feet away, Nelson cleared a jammed round out of his gun, glanced at a nearby witness, turned back to Sarey and fired again into Sarey’s forehead.

    Dude double tapped a man he was in no danger from, after starting the fight to begin with, all brazenly in front of a witness. If he would do something that illegal in front of someone, you can imagine what he was doing on his own or only around other cops.
