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 5 days ago (1 children)

they already said that the last couple of games

[–] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sadly, I believe this almost without question.

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.

"No reason"

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

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

Blasting Nazis needs no reason

[–] kaosof@lemmy.world 30 points 6 days ago

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.

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

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

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 20 points 6 days ago (5 children)

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

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.

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

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.

Not for "no reason at all"

:Alt+Tab out of Wolfenstien: What?

[–] Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

I was actually thinking about picking it up now

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 days ago

It's not for no reason.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I've had some fun Anti-Nazi movies playing while I work-from-home lately, like Inglourious Basterds and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Don't forget Fury!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago

More and more, I've been coming back to Inglorious Basterds as possibly being QT's best film.

It is just so goddamn good.

bj would have been beyond devastated about what is happening now

[–] EntirelyUnlovable@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

There's a line in New Colossus where he's in the USA during a parade for the Nazis and everyone is cheering and he says something like "look at them, cheering for their own destruction" and I keep being reminded of it

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 7 points 6 days ago

BJ saw it in 60s US, and you know what he did?

He got to work.

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago

I played the original on Apple ][.

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

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 days ago

Shadowrun: Dragonfall has a satisfying mission where you get to shoot up a neo-nazi compound.
