I dunno if the game itself would actually be too difficult, but how about the original Thief: Dark Project (or the updated re-release known as Thief Gold)?

It's not really a horror game necessarily, but the tense atmosphere of sneaking around and avoiding guards who can rightfully kill you in combat due to being better trained, as well as a few levels that are outright horror inspired, should be interesting.

That being said, if you're gonna play, I would suggest playing it on Expert - not because Normal or Hard are too easy, but because Expert forces you to explore more of the level and get more things, putting you more at risk of dying, and also restricts you the most as far as your behavior (no killing humans is the usual rule)

That one seemed a bit more personal than the usual retsupurae video since I didn't really get what he was doing that was so bad. DC's style is just uninteresting.

yeah, it was weird how they gave DC so much vitriol when he's not that bad (especially in comparison with tons of other LP'ers they've bashed) - he's just... kinda boring? definitely seemed like they were just bothered (well, mainly slowbeef) that another SA guy was using slowbeef's concept and became popular with it. and i say this as a retsupurae fan.

One of the things TV Tropes noted was that DeceasedCrab actually guest starred on one of the Retsuprae guys' videos awhile before they did the video on him.

Never been that into Retsuprae's MST3K style stuff, to be honest - the very nature of what they do feels like it's too personal, period, no matter who they're targeting.

It did point out something funny though - they literally just applied their script to a random DeceasedCrab video to make a point that what they say about one video is true about all of them. But then, I have no reason to believe it wasn't a fan of theirs, or even one of them, that put that entry in.

That'll be a bit difficult because you just narrowed it down to bigots, when your original post was about being terrible in general.

I'm not talking about a bigot (I think), I'm talking about someone who would reportedly block people for mentioning a show he hates or for using internet shorthand or improper grammar.

Is DeceasedCrab still a jerk? Has he gotten better? Or is his reputation an exaggeration?

I don't care enough to actually go through the comments section, this is purely a question of curiosity, since I was reading TVTropes which had some pretty harsh things to say about his attitude, not to mention Retsuprae riffed on him, apparently.

Just curious about how someone who I have nostalgic memories about is doing.

In regards to that Twitter thread:

Gee, I'm sorry that Hillary shifting the blame onto other people pissed everyone off but guess what it pissed everyone off.

I will defend Hillary from things that were not her fault, but I won't defend her blaming everyone but herself. Especially blaming Bernie (who freaking told people to vote for her after he lost).

It's different from the Bernie or Bust crowd, who directly spat in the face of Bernie's values after he lost because they were pissed at Hillary. She was a freaking candidate and she's trying to pull this shit - that makes her as bad, if not worse.

Despite all of this, I still believe she would've been a better president than Trump, but that doesn't mean I have to like her.

Also I don't really recommend Wing. A lot of people started with it when they were kids and it was on Toonami and have a lot of fond memories of it, but having tried to rewatch it a few years ago, it does NOT hold up to those memories. It's about as close to angsty teen edgelord anime as you could get without crossing the line and it isn't very compelling compared to most of the rest.

I rewatched Gundam Wing recently and I actually was able to appreciate it more as an adult than I did as a kid.

So, basically, your mileage may vary.

For starters, the Germans didn't leave relics of the old Nazi regime intact - they literally blew them up, and destroyed them, and made new monuments to remember the people oppressed and murdered by the Nazis.

And look - their neo Nazis are forced underground and given no legitimacy and are harshly prosecuted for their actions, meaning that they don't become a problem like they are here.

So, no, I don't think there's any historical problem with tearing down statues. I do think there are historical problems with leaving it up.

The Volvagia thing was cute, but main reason that manga couldn't be considered canon. I would have preferred it being canon for the Zelda/Sheik transformation explanation.

Why can't you consider it canon, what with the lack of any opposing evidence?

the Volvagia part isn't canon because the game itself contradicts it.

Zelda/Sheik's transformation, however, has no evidence contradicting it.

The whole "capitalism death toll" comment was to point out how absurd the pissing contest was in the first place.

Sure. Both pure capitalism and pure communism are murderous, and the only difference in the death tolls is opportunity

Exactly!

Which is why the system needs counterbalances, needs regulation. Anytime a flaw or corruption arises, it needs to be stamped out and the spot where it sprouted reshaped so that it can't happen again.

And I'm getting tired of seeing people undo these changes just because "We're all temporarily inconvenienced millionaires that just need the government to stop preventing us from having the opportunity to make loads of money because that's totally how economics works."

It's time to accept that pure capitalism is just as bad as pure communism (though some could suggest that it's actually worse) and that just because people want some socialism does not mean they want pure socialism, either.

We will never have a utopia, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for one.

BowserCuffs, think about it

If you have a communist system, and there's any resistance to it at all, you have to shut that resistance down. Communism to work best requires everyone to be in on it.

And that CAN happen, in smaller communities, but it's very unlikely to have literally zero dissent for very long on a national level

Like I said. I'm not pro-commie. It's a failed system.

I'm just pissed that free speech advocates defend the time that the First Amendment was absolutely broken, by conservatives (and some liberals, to be fair) because they were having a pissing contest with Russia over whether capitalism or communism was better.

I'm not even pro-commie, by the way. Just pointing out that communism isn't a philosophy based on hate, just a failed economic system - where Nazism is absolutely a philosophy based on hate, and so deserves far more scrutiny and hatred than communism.

I don't really care about the Lenin statue, though. Like I said earlier, I just have no chill.

No, communism is absolutely a philosophy based on hate. The idea is fundamentally built on terrorism and tyranny. Marx specifically referred to the process needed to create a communist society as "revolutionary terror" and always advocated that the elite few needed to enforce their will on the rest as violently as necessary. There's a reason communism always works out the way it does - it's not just that its process is inherently corrupting to the ones leading it, it's a philosophy that actively embraces that very corruption.

I'm gonna need some proof as to what you're saying.

Panthera posted...

So your argument is literally that communism can't possibly be criticized because it's not the only thing that has killed people.

Because that kind of means that Nazism *is* preferable to communism or capitalism in your eyes.

Okay, so you're not arguing in good faith, then.

I have no obligation to argue with you.

I am exhausted at the amount of right wingers who defend Nazis because they're afraid that the left will treat them badly by associating them with Nazis even when they aren't.

It's almost like the best way to avoid being associated with Nazis is to whole-heartedly condemn them and drive them out of society before they do their best to try to live up to the message they were chanting at the rally.

Which, if you don't recall, was that the Jews should die.

But no, the right decides that the best way to defend themselves from the left accusing them of being Nazis is to.... defend the Nazis.

Yeah.

Summary: Wang refuses to believe that the subject of a sentence can completely change the meaning and morality of it.

"Nazis should be driven out of society" has a much better meaning than "Jews should be driven out of society"

One is a hate group that will destroy society if left unchecked, and the other is a racial/religious group that has as much right to be here as anyone.

Because guess what?

YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN ONE OF THESE SCENARIOS.

And I hope to whatever is good out there that you choose to drive Nazis out of society.

You can say that it's only the motivations that are different, but that ignores the fact that the motivations are the defining difference. The sweetest, kindest Nazi is worse than the most violent BLM activist.
