Most 2D Disney is severely overrated. Lion King, Aladdin, Little Mermaid, etc. were all good movies. They are good for kids. But Disney + Pixar has tackled much more adult stuff, leaving in the things that 2D Disney didn't have the balls to tackle, while still creating movies that small children can comprehend and enjoy.

And yet some of Disney's earliest work is still hailed as the Second Coming.

I have to give credit where it's due though, milking Snow White for eighty years via generic princess merchandise (and the odd item related to the seven dwarves) is pretty impressive.

My issue with this kinda thing is that they game developers don't seem to realise when to stop and reign things in, and then not forewarning people that it's going down the drain.

If you've got 15 systems that are poorly implemented, reign it back to 10 and then get those working well (and in a fun way) - the good software developers I've worked with in the past have always managed to spot when things are getting to diffuse and unworkable and reign everything in to the core elements.

Take rimworld - it started off incredibly basic, but the systems worked well in a fun way, and it's now one of the best selling games on Steam.

I really, really liked the gaslight people - they all seemed great, sincere and engaged with the community, however there's a level of sort of...hubris when they can see it going downhill and then not admitting it and pulling everything back in. Most gamers, especially those who are into the 'indie scene' would understand and be quite forgiving - not saying anything and then folding out of the blue is however pretty unacceptable.

Also, the whole "fascism was racist and killed a bajillion people" doesnt exactly stick since communism murdered even more people and pushed several views your average social media progressive should find disgusting (IE homosexuals are mentally ill capitalist dogs, jews are fascist bastards because they don't conform to our ideas, ukranians are disposable, black people are inferior and immoral, etc).

So ye, sorry cringy soviet shirt guy, but I can't really treat you any better than a guy wearing a swastika.

I disagree, but only because Fascism clearly led to the Second World War (you might argue that hitler himself didn't cause all these deaths, but fascism is  indisputably the case and reason for the war), and by that token Fascism has a death toll of around eighty-four million people; whereas by contrast capitalism and communism have both, thus far, resisted the urge to plunge the world into everlasting night, which is a point in their favor.

big guns you say?

Eh, rail cannons were pretty much obsolete once bombing became a thing. You could just hit one of the tracks and it can't go anywhere.

So, martinuzz, I've heard a couple things about DENK, the party that apprently targets mostly Dutch of Turkish and Morroccans descent. What are they running on, what are their policies and stuff? How are they viewed?
