I still want to play more ambitious games, but everywhere i go forums and chats are full of elitist gatekeeping pricks complaining that the games are "too easy". And lo and behold the souls plague encroaching over more and more genres.
Quite possibly, old games also look worse on emus (and don't even let me start about those remasters, i got incredibly hyped for incoming Suikoden 1+2 on PC but my eyes fucking bleed).
rendering games at 640x480 and then scaling them to sensible resolutions is horrible artistic practice.
Is that a reason a lot of pixel art games are looking like shit? I remember the era of 320x240 and 640x480 and the modern pixel art are looking noticeably worse.
You should think a little about your automatic reation on the word "junta" with "they are no doubt brutal" and where it comes from. Those particular juntas enjoy the widespread support and acceptation in society and are much less brutal to it than your average western (not to mention comprador) "democracy".
In socialist Poland both were used, but "comrade" (Towarzysz/Towarzyszka) was the honorific for member of the party while "citizen" (Obywatel/Obywatelka) was used for everyone else in official situations. Most people still used the "Pan/Pani" (Mr/Mrs) though, which was a bit reactionary because in Polish language this word does not even come from the bourgeoise honorific "Master" but from the aristocratic "Lord".
the Nazis stormed the Ukranian SSR and in taking it cut off the bulk of food production from the rest of the USSR. This led to prisoners getting less food than citizens, and many starving to death.
Not fun fact: at the same time nazis were murdering so many people in USSR that comparing to the gulags: USSR lost nearly 14% of population and the average gulag mortality rate during the war was probably around 10%. Meaning being in the gulag was statistically safer than being outside during the war (statistically because for example people in Siberia were safe from nazis while Belarussian SSR lost one third of entire population).
Also yet another comparison, in Russian Empire before revolution katorga (forced labour) had usually over 40% mortality.
Bruh, i live in fucking Poland, literally everyone around is shitlib or fascist and any kind of socialist thought is tightly censored in non stop anticommunist onslaught in every possible media, so you can take your plurality posturing and shove it where the sun don't shine.
Yeah. Before there were mostly few people in threads. Abovementioned shitlibs were not very numerous too, just few recurring nicknames and few others getting banned and coming back under new nicks every few days.
Even before there were several instances like beehaw or sopuli regularily coming out with shitlib takes (and they still are, some comments below in this thread there is a sopuli user alluding genocide denial and whitewashing nazism).
This one definitely scrambled their brains like eggs, but most of times they are exactly like the meme that says "liberals are against every war except the current one". Even Gaza genocide is not an exception because while more liberals than usual is against it, a lot are for it including their entire political representation.
Not counting lemmygrad and hexbear most of lemmy instances is completely liberal, at best radical liberal. I seriously doubt your statement about being communist if you call for more centrism and think we need more rightwing info.
You want more rightwing? Go anywhere else in the internet, there's full of it everywhere. What is lacking everywhere else, is communist point of view.
If your bank lends you 10000 avocado toasts, it's their problem.
