The most Shonen Jump of all possible games.
Strong agree.
My group calls it "Jank Tolerance" and breaks it down in to categories like "Slav Jank" for eastern European games with bizarre UI choices, weird bugs, and strange oversights in design, but it's worth it because there's often a different approach to game design and you get ideas that european/american studios wouldn't try. "German Sim Jank" refers to unrealistically ambitious German sim games that you tolerate because there's nothing else like them. "Indy Jank" is indy games where you deal with the bugs because the vision is there and you can put up with some issues for the experience. "Bethesda Jank", of course, pretty obvious.
Differences in Jank Tolerance can drastically change people's perception and enjoyment of a game. Helldivers 2 is my latest thing, so I'll use it as an example. People were upset that Chargers, a giant tank bug, would "ice skate". I could never figure out what they meant because it turned out that "ice skating" was just an animation error and a bit of physics engine jank. To me, so minor that I really didn't even notice, but for people who don't willingly subject themselves to Dwarf Fortress or Kenshi or similar weirdness it was a real, serious problem.
FMV games
Wow I had forgotten those were even a thing. They were kind popularish back in the early days of CD-ROMs when game companies didn't know what to do with the unfathomably large 600mb of storage capacity.
Also waiting in the water to catch the guy as he falls so he doesn't splash is smoooooth as hell.
I mean, whatever, it's an interactive way to watch movies I guess? Detective movies in particular seem like they'd work well because you could have the player/viewer work out the mystery together with the detective in a psuedo-interactive way.
iirc among other things DaVinci was a fairly skilled siege engineer, which was roughly equivalent to being, fuck, idk. I don't think there actually are workers as valuable in modern times as siege engineers were in various historical eras.
What happens when you forget/never knew that publicly funded art was once a thing.

Don't be afraid to be the first to resort to violence.

If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

Never turn your back on an enemy.

Your name is in the mouth of others: be sure it has teeth.

Some relevant selections from the 70 Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries
The ongoing genocide in Gaza has decoupled the election from horrifying political outcomes in my mind so i don't care. One Hitler, two Hitler. Red Hitler, blue Hitler.
10,000 deaths to crunchy granola fascism i did not read the article.
For those who don't know HAARP is a facility used to study the ionosphere in Fairbanks, Alaska. Since it came online in '93 CHUDs have been convinced that it's a weather control device.
This isn't really funny I just think the conspiracy component is funny.

Folks were talking about voices in the mega so here's a link to the Hearing Voice Network

Trying to come up with fresh new slander for the KKKPresident and need some input.
Also
KdF had a number of individual departments. The Beauty of Labour (Schönheit der Arbeit) department was devoted to improvements in the workplace, from general hygiene to reduction of sound pollution. Other departments included the Sports Office (Sportamt), Adult Education Office (Volksbildungswerk), Leisure Time Office (Amt Feierabend), the Office for Folklore and Homeland (Amt für Volkstum und Heimat), and the Office for Travel, Hiking, and Holidays (Amt Reisen, Wandern, und Urlaub).

Is... Mountain biking... Fascist?
I'm not even sure I'm kidding, htere are definite and steep class, racial, and cultural elements to outdoor recreation. Fuck, eugenics elements.

Kamala got her start under Governor Jerry Brown, which makes "California Uber Alles" a prophecy that has come to pass.

Dead Kennedy's go on chapo (not the band I want Kennedy's ghost to show up so Matt can grill him on the lead up to the Vietnam War.)
Fucking seriously, though, Kopmala is Jerry Brown's enfante terrible sent to Californicate the world in his Image CMV.
Fucking seriously though
[Verse 1] I am Governor Jerry Brown My aura smiles and never frowns Soon, I will be president Carter power will soon go away I will be Führer one day I will command all of you Your kids will meditate in school Your kids will meditate in school
[Chorus] California über alles California über alles Über alles, California Über alles, California
[Verse 2] Zen fascists will control you One-hundred percent natural You will jog for the master race And always wear the happy face Close your eyes, can't happen here Big Bro on white horse is near The hippies won't come back, you say Mellow out, or you will pay Mellow out, or you will pay
California über alles California über alles Über alles, California Über alles, California
[Bridge] Now it is 1984 Knock-knock at your front door It's the suede denim secret police They have come for your uncool niece Come quietly to the camp You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp Don't you worry, it's only a shower For your clothes, here's a pretty flower Die! On organic poison gas Serpent's egg's already hatched You will croak, you little clown When you mess with President Brown When you mess with President Brown
[Chorus] California über alles California über alles Über alles, California Über alles, California
We got Orb Mommy, we got eight flavors of neo-fascism on tap, we got a big wet TV president, we've got a KKKalifornia KKKop named KKKamala.
This is it. This is California Triumphant. They fucking won. Boomer Hippie "It's not my problem I want to be free man" bullshit has morphed and mutated in to whatever the fuck this is and now we're all fucked.

Those fucks are still pulling out "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" cw: libshit, genocide
(hexbear.net)
Like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU AND CAN IT BE RESOLVED WITHOUT RESORTING TO THE 
CUCK PIT? Don't let the "Perfect" (not committing genocide) be the enemy of the "Good" (LITERALLY FUCKING GENOCIDE).
What the entire fuck is wrong with them? It's not just how could they do this, but how can they not see what they've become? Their whole fucking ideology is built around the idea that they're the good guys, the defenders of civil rights, the beacon of an enlightened, refined, civilized society. That's their whole goddamn thing, but now they've compromised and lesser eviled their way in to virulent, active support for fucking genocide WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!~?!~?>~!>?~!~!:~!>
And, and, all the fucking bullshit, for decades, about tankies being irredeemably evil because of genocides that didn't even fucking happen?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

It is a very US thing. Back in the 80's Reagan started an attack on public arts budgets in the US that never stopped. As a result US public arts funding is a shdaow of what it was a few generations ago.
