Not until I see a lemmygrad user here. Going on lemmygrad.ml and I can't see this post, so I don't think lemmygrad can interact with us.

Welcome back

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

Server got partiotism drunk on cheeto-man re-election and ~~got lost in the woods~~ went on a spirit quest for a bit.

It eventually got hungry and returned. Sorry about that.

Let's give it up for our beautiful coders and our embassy officials, folks.

Good to be united by land bridge again, comrades.

Oh hexbear is federal again?

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 9 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I checked and the fed button has been pushed

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 9 points 4 weeks ago

It looks like it. This comm was created after federation was turned off. Plus the UI has local sort again.

[–] deathtoreddit@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

Da, tovarshi!

There does seem to be a big delay right now. Could be syncing all the back posts.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

is this red alert? are those games worth playing?

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They are very campy and they know it. They're great. This is from RA3, which also has George Tikay in it as Imperialist Japan's Emperor.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

but aren't they wildly anti-communist/soviet?

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, but War Bears

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

The Soviets are just so much cooler that it becomes pro-communist in the same way that people get the wrong message in Fight Club or Starship Troopers.

This shit just slaps.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The tanks running over the "welcome to Texas" sign is just chefs-kiss

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

Yup. Playing Red Alert 2 i always liked the Soviets more than the Americans even as a child when i had no clue what politics even were. Destroying the Pentagon was my favorite mission.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean yes and no. In the first game it turns out the Soviets were infiltrated by the Brotherhood of Nod who actually started WW2 by convincing Stalin to invade Europe.

The Allied side is obviously rife with anticommunist action but its a hyper campy story and its all hammed up to the extreme.

I mean, the whole thing is predicated on Einstein going back in time and killing Hitler.

In RA2 the Soviets are being controlled by a psychic.

Damn dude, anything but the depiction of the end of capitalism

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Lol what do you want from a camp ass game from the 90s and 2000s? I pointed that out because its absolutely absurd. The whole game is wacko gonzo nonsense. Its supposed to evoke B movie type camp. Its over acted and under written. The gameplay is fun. The music rips.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh I was joking, your description sounds awesome

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

Ha! My bad, it is a wild set of games.

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

Soviet theme is so good that it doesn't matter
