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.

I was actually thinking about picking it up now
Blasting Nazis needs no reason
:Alt+Tab out of Wolfenstien: What?
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.
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.
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.
Edit: I mean the campaign in Sniper Elite 4/5
I don't think it's coop. I would have played it coop if it was.
sorry, should have clarified it more: In Sniper Elite 4/5 you can play the campaign in 2 player coop. I have not played The Saboteur so I don't know about that one...
The Saboteur shows only as single-player in the description. Does it really support co-op?
Sniper Elite 4/5 has a 2 player coop for the campaign
The Saboteur is a lost gem that everyone should play.

I've had some fun Anti-Nazi movies playing while I work-from-home lately, like Inglourious Basterds and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
More and more, I've been coming back to Inglorious Basterds as possibly being QT's best film.
It is just so goddamn good.
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.

A 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'd LOVE to hear the explaination from the 1 downvote.
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, and at least a few of the most recent pictures of animals 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.
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

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.
I don't think they are trying to decrease/cool down their anger. I think they are trying to engage in it.
I'll be honest, as long as people are not acting awful towards their fellow human beings (like taking out anger on a person who has nothing to do with it, punching someone over cutting in line at the bank) I do not particularly mind if people are increasing their anger and aggression instead of decreasing it. Jogging it out and getting angrier is still far better than punching it out at a person, especially since you probably still reap the health benefit of jogging.
Thanks for the link though, fun read! I guess we should go to bed angry ;) Clicking one of the links in the article you linked was pretty interesting…
My concerned side worries for that guy and the budgets of the people doing the research but most of me says "that's just funny".

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.
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.
"No reason"
They're nazis, friend! That's all the reason we need!
The New Order broke me
That's gonna be America pretty soon.
