Not for "no reason at all"

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

The Saboteur is a lost gem that everyone should play.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 20 hours ago (1 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.

the campaign is really cool in coop btw.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

I don't think it's coop. I would have played it coop if it was.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

The Saboteur shows only as single-player in the description. Does it really support co-op?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago

I'd love a new Wolfenstein-style game that diverges from the simple divide of giving them helmets.

It's simple morbid truth that these people are human beings, who have committed their minds to unimaginable cruelty. It'd be fun to have more games about reciprocating that cruelty.

Mortal Kombat's fatalities gave me a big ick factor when they leaned into cruelty and pain (and thankfully turned towards looney creativity to be entertaining). But I could see the former being a bit more valid when there's universal reasoning behind why it's being applied.

The New Order broke me

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

I recommend The Dirty Dozen. It came out in the 60s, so you're not getting Tarantino level gore. However, it gets so close to that line anyway.

spoilerA horde of Nazis and their wives/mistresses get burned to a crisp and exploded while hiding out in a wine cellar. American soldiers are dropping grenades and pouring gasoline down the air vents.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 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

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

I doubt it's that, simply because the OP is not talking about doing anything to anyone in the real world.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

The type of 'anger management' described in the OP is unhealthy and doesn't even help you feel better, short or long term. 'Blowing off steam'/venting literally does the opposite of what most people believe it does.

Edit: Looks like some people don't like being called out for their unproductive behavior, lol. I answered the question.

It's getting harder and harder each day to tell this place apart from Reddit, lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

6 of them now lol crazy there are that many.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

4 explanations are needed now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Nazi" x5

There's all the explanation you need.

"No reason"

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Yeah absolutely, really itching to just bash the first smarmy fascist I see.

In minecraft, y'know?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

bj would have been beyond devastated about what is happening now

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

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

He got to work.

Why not LARP it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Someone is going to release a Trump administration reskin and it's going to be spectacularly popular.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

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