Something about those awkward hand gestures really gets me going.

Wolfenstein 3D was woke propaganda. At least that will be the official article if Trump and the right get their hands on Wikipedia like they've already said they want to.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

they already said that the last couple of games

[–] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sadly, I believe this almost without question.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

W2TNC was back when they still said SJW before woke became their boogeyman word but yeah. the comments section for the trailer was full of SJW complaints because the morons who didn't even get the obvious message the first game were suddenly aware of politics when they saw a black woman in the mix.

But 2nd amendment states your duty as a citizen to grab a gun and defend against nazis irl?

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Blasting Nazis needs no reason

Remember folks, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory lives on as an open source project.

It's not for no reason.

:Alt+Tab out of Wolfenstien: What?

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

I played the original on Apple ][.

It's ALWAYS been a good time to kill nazis.

I was actually thinking about picking it up now

I'd LOVE to hear the explaination from the 1 downvote.

[–] Elevator7009sAlt@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Genuinely? I think there are always a couple trolls downvoting anything and everything, or people who can't resist being contrarian for the sake of it. I see downvotes applied to on-topic, factually correct, and completely uncontroversial posts and comments all the time. For example, go to any cute animal community. You'll find various inoffensive pictures of the animals, with zero incorrect assertions because it is literally just a picture, and at least a few of these pictures of critters the entire community is about (so it's on-topic) will have a few downvotes anyways. Same principle could apply here. If there are lots of upvotes I almost expect to see a few downvotes as "noise" from trolls.

Also because Lemmy has Local and All, maybe there are people who, not caring that the community is Games, see this in their Local/All feed and do not like video games or Wolfenstein so they just hit downvote for "dislike" and move on.

Sometimes I fat-finger my phone and downvote something I didn't mean to. I always take it back, but I imagine not everyone would undo their accidental downvote. Especially if the sequence is downvote -> crash -> reopen tabs -> wait where was I, whatever I don't care enough to undo one downvote online

I’ve also downvoted things on accident before. Not yet on Lemmy because I have to more deliberately choose through Voyager. But it’s only a matter of time.

[–] B312@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Playing devil’s advocate here. It’s probably people who think no matter what, every single life is precious and should be preserved.

Edit: I feel like I should probably add that I do not agree with this ideology whatsoever. Facists deserve a good beating

You expect Nazis and their sympathizers to have a brain and form coherent sentences, huh?
I fear, there are at least some who do and those are even more dangerous than the typical braindead Nazi.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

4 explanations are needed now.

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

"Nazi" x5

There's all the explanation you need.

Not for "no reason at all"

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 87 points 3 days ago

For no reason at all? No, no, no. For all of the right reasons? Oh, for sure.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 13 points 2 days ago

"No reason"

They're nazis, friend! That's all the reason we need!

I've been punching nazis and Italian fascists (as well as shooting, crushing skulls with heavy objects, blowing them up etc) in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle since around christmas.

It's a great time.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 20 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Also Sniper Elite 4 and 5, and The Saboteur. The Saboteur has boobies and we can all agree on boobies.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I suggested we play Sniper Elite 4 to my girlfriend recently. She's not usually one for shooter games (she's more of a Stardew Valley/Animal Crossing/Cozy Grove/Coral Island type of gamer), and I wasn't sure she'd like it. She thought she wouldn't, but she's happy to try out a suggestion of mine every once in a while even if she thinks we won't play it much.

We loaded into San Cellini island and she initially struggled with the controls and how to aim and shoot. The gravity and wind effects weren't super easy to grasp either (she's on the Steam Deck as well, making it slightly harder to aim too). She accidentally shot a couple times as I was giving her a quick tutorial, which attracted a Nazi soldier to investigate and try and shoot her (which scared her a bit as she got hit). Off to a rocky start, and I could tell she wasn't enjoying it at all.

We got to the first tower, where the game gives you a pretty good view of the area and lets you fairly securely shoot a bunch of Nazi soldiers. Time to shoot! Here we learned she gets a bit jumpscared if the game suddenly shows you a slow-motion killcam, especially if I was the one triggering it. Again, not a great start for her.

She struggled, but did hit a couple of them. Then on the 3rd or 4th kill, the game showed her the magic words after the kill: "TESTICLE SHOT". This caught her completely off guard, immediately exclaiming "WAIT DOES THAT MEAN I SHOT HIS BALLS OFF?!". I have never witnessed her doing a complete 180 degrees turn on her opinion of a game. Suddenly the game became extremely enjoyable for her. The first time she had a killcam where she could see the Nazi balls pop one after the other was like giving her crack cocaine or something. Total bloodlust.

We've played through the entire campaign in a span of two weeks, then the DLC, the overwatch missions (twice to play both roles) and now the survival maps. Every evening after dinner she asks if we can "shoot more Nazi balls". Her spirit animal is Hugo Stiglitz at this point.

God I love that woman.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 14 hours ago

Just, uh, be careful if she shows a sudden interest in certain "relationship aids" just in case it was less about what the balls were attached to than the pure act itself

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I just looked it up, very positive reviews and very cheap. No mention of boobies in the feature list but it has this:

Key features:

  • First Ever Open-World Paris

Thank god, FINALLY someone did it.
