"...fluffy non offensive, status quo game that is afraid of offending everyone..."

They seem pretty offended.

"Communist gay male on male propaganda ... afraid of offending anyone."

Clearly not afraid of offending someone mate.

Oh, come on. Communist gay male on male stuff is vanilla as it gets. That is the gateway drug.

How can you get gay sex in disco in 1.6 hours

He rushed for it

speedrun category because full game runs are too long

Their opinions are garbage, but I gotta at least respect that they insisted on having it removed from their account even though they apparently got it for free, LOL

How the fuck do you refund a game you got for free...? 🤔

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I guess they give you your $0 back and remove it from your account. For when you hate it so much you can't stand to even see it in your list of owned games.

They should have put "As a russian..." at the start of the review so that everyone knows to immediately disregard it

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

russians are people too, especially common citizens

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not with the takes in that review

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the most inhumane things are still done by humans, sadly.

"It was much better to imagine men in some smokey room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn't then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told the children bed time stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

A legendary recommendation. That arrow is red because communism and not for any other reason.

[–] MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

For being a "fluffy non-offensive" game, they sure seem offended.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

I instantly remembered this from Jamrock Hobo's video :3

[–] Luca@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 month ago

RIP to the [five times the population of the Soviet Union] people who died in the Soviet Union.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

I think it's pretty obvious ragebait LOL

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

This review now makes me want to buy the game.

Before this, Shaun compared it to Shakespeare, and that's all I know

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

This mf couldn't find his shoe.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I feel like I know this guy, Russian and bitching and moaning about how the gays ruin everything

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, that says 1.6, not 7 hours.

[–] Pantir@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

I bet this guy plays FIFA.
