Something about those awkward hand gestures really gets me going.
I’d LOVE to hear the explaination from the 1 downvote.
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

I doubt it’s that, simply because the OP is not talking about doing anything to anyone in the real world.
4 explanations are needed now.
“Nazi” x5
There’s all the explanation you need.
7 Nazis right now.
27 now
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.
6 of them now lol crazy there are that many.
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 because it is literally just a picture, and at least a few of these pictures of critters the entire community is about (so it’s on-topic) 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.
Also because Lemmy has Local and All, maybe there are people who, not caring that the community is Games, see this in their Local/All feed and do not like video games or Wolfenstein so they just hit downvote for “dislike” and move on.
Sometimes I fat-finger my phone and downvote something I didn’t mean to. I always take it back, but I imagine not everyone would undo their accidental downvote. Especially if the sequence is downvote -> crash -> reopen tabs -> wait where was I, whatever I don’t care enough to undo one downvote online
I’ve also downvoted things on accident before. Not yet on Lemmy because I have to more deliberately choose through Voyager. But it’s only a matter of time.
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”.
For no reason at all? No, no, no. For all of the right reasons? Oh, for sure.
In wolfenstein? No.
Ah a CoD player.
Or John Brown club
Oh my god we need John Brown simulator. Old western setting, open world, muskets, horses and hand-drawn maps, tracking down slavers and stalking them across the prairie and conducting raids on their properties.
Have you played Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry? It’s not a perfect fit but you do get to hunt down slavers and slave ships.
I have not but that does sound good. Although I’m thinking something a lot more grounded and realistic, like ARMA style maybe.
Blasting Nazis in wolfesntein is fun but not as fun as the real thing >:3
“No reason”
They’re nazis, friend! That’s all the reason we need!
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.
Waiting for Sniper Elite blow Elon’s balls off DLC
Why not LARP it?
Because Elon’s balls are nonexistent. At least he still has the heart and brain, however small and hard of a target they are.
Well he has balls, as he managed to produce offspring, yet they are such that even his male offspring rejects the idea of balls altogether
Imagine being Grimes and fucking that guy.
Let the mods flow in (as in game mods, not moderators…)
Also Sniper Elite 4 and 5, and The Saboteur. The Saboteur has boobies and we can all agree on boobies.
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
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
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 is a lost gem that everyone should play.

Hmmm, reinstalling Wolfenstein doesn’t sound too bad.
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 agree with that. I think it’s time for Terror-Billy to go on a rampage again.
I can just see the NSA nerds now, “Sir, we have seen a severe uptick in downloads and installations of the video game ‘Woflenstein’… We must do something to stop the propaganda!”
Edit: You know what, I’m gonna leave the typo because I think it makes it even more funny.
Woffelstein
Removed by mod
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.
they already said that the last couple of games
Sadly, I believe this almost without question.
W2TNC was back when they still said SJW before woke became their boogeyman word but yeah. the comments section for the trailer was full of SJW complaints because the morons who didn’t even get the obvious message the first game were suddenly aware of politics when they saw a black woman in the mix.
Not for “no reason at all”
Blasting Nazis needs no reason
