Something about those awkward hand gestures really gets me going.

Not for "no reason at all"

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

The New Order broke me

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 4 points 9 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.

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

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

The Saboteur is a lost gem that everyone should play.

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 10 points 12 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.

[–] zolar@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

the campaign is really cool in coop btw.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] cccrontab@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

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

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.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 17 hours ago

"No reason"

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 180 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (6 children)

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

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.

[–] B312@lemmy.world 26 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours 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

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] zergtoshi@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours 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.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 16 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

4 explanations are needed now.

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 14 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

"Nazi" x5

There's all the explanation you need.

Waiting for Sniper Elite blow Elon's balls off DLC

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 5 points 15 hours ago

Why not LARP it?

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 83 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 4 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 9 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

bj would have been beyond devastated about what is happening now

[–] EntirelyUnlovable@lemmy.world 6 points 12 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

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 5 points 12 hours ago

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

He got to work.

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

In minecraft, y'know?

[–] wirelesswire@lemmy.zip 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Hmmm, reinstalling Wolfenstein doesn't sound too bad.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I've been toying with the idea. So many good memories from New Colossus. It might be linear, it's such a great story. Not Shakespeare great, but honest b-movie great.

I would suggest Indiana Jones and the great circle as well for this.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 6 hours ago

I'm on PS5 so that'll have to wait until some point this spring.

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 18 points 23 hours ago

Let the mods flow in (as in game mods, not moderators...)
