Deadken has a piece in Jacobin about videogames

Jesus, time to cancel my future subscription

Almost every rts game is identical in what he thinks is characteristically feudal, and the part about making at least half your pop cap villagers is common to every Age game due to widely spread but limited resources and ease of spamming cheap military units.

goonsay



so how cynical are you when you write about videogames? how much "lol they're gonna eat that shit up" is there?

"It’s possible to read this as some kind of unsubtle ecological allegory" Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Might be time to get off the jacobin bus.

you're just mad because i owned you about Soldiers repeatedly

you wrote a god damn book about how much you hate troops. its not political lol its pathological

Speak and act in a way which is confident, energetic, aggressive, discouraging and stunning. Produce more noise and oral trumpery, and say more things which are incomprehensible and pseudo-scientific. Create theories, hypotheses, tendencies, schools, practicable and impracticable methods. The more extravagant, the better! Do not be confused because no one needs these theories, or because by tomorrow they will have been forgotten about. A new day, and with it new ideas, will come. It is here that our self-assertion, our superiority, and the power of our spirit, all find expression. Let the goys bear the brunt of the ideas we float. Let them rack their brains looking for any grains of rationality in our ideas, and let them seek and find in our ideas things which are not there. Tomorrow we shall give their primitive brains some new food to chew on.
