True but I’ve honestly seen more explicitly Nazi MLP memes than explicitly Nazi 40k memes, surprisingly.

Then what are they getting out of My Little Pony?

Fascists believe in embracing contradictions, lies, and hypocrisy. They don’t really believe in anything beyond base carnal urges. So it’s basically impossible to criticize or mock them because they can just edit the version of reality in their brain to make them feel cool again. This is why you just need to bash them out of existence, there’s no “owning” them, they just have to stop being.

I’m all for chasing fash out of 40k, any My Little Pony, and the planet. I’m just saying I don’t think there’s anything inherent to 40k that makes it more attractive to fash than any other fandom. Fash are consumerist nerds, they’ll glom onto anything. There are fash in the fucking Trek fandom for Christ sakes.

Okay

I see more ironic and comedic 40K material than I see actual 40K lore these days. Fuck I made a 40K lore joke post on here not to long ago and it was received well.

My point is, while there are actual fascists attracted to 40K lore, I think the phenomenon is overplayed more than a little. Fuck there are fascists in the My Little Pony fandom, fash dorks will latch onto anything. I think most 40K fans these days are fully aware it’s tongue-and-cheek nature. I really don’t think people who like painting goofy miniatures of armored dudes wielding chainsaw guns are any more predisposed to fascism than anyone else.

I was playing with Preator with Konning and Scimitar, so a similar build but Konning chugs ammo. I did alright.

I ain’t bad enough for that, farthest I got was like level 4 before I run out of ammo and die

The only game I’ve clocked more hours in is Disco Elysium

Yes but ze robuts have… eMoTIoNs???

I’m now imaging Robert Kurvitz and Nick and Stav working together on a game now.

Oh shit what’s my wif… I mean Cassidy’s politics?

Racing through my brain!

And I just can’t explain…

Oh god I read that in a poorly translated Estonian-Russian-English PDF like two years ago.

I… kinda… understood it.

This may sound weird, but I had not idea he was a black dude. For some reason I visualized him as like a grizzled old white guy in a trench coat.

Real Rebels of the Neon God moment

“We have won the revolution! The bourgeois have finally been defeated!”

“Congratulations comrade! Now you’re assigned to be director of freight logistics in district 21.”

“Wha…”

“Here’s your badge and office number.”

“…”

What even were the Followers in the first game? They just looked like a bunch of goths hanging out in a building not doing anything.

My Republic is pretty built out at this point, so now I’m mostly tweaking things, like trying to produce more goods for export to pay off a loan I took from the Soviet Bloc.

I find the real time sink is when you get things started, once you got a decent layout for the main industry trees you can kind of let things run for a bit.

Edit: also fyi I’m playing on a pretty easy mode.

Last night I drank a bit to much beer and went on a bit of a gaming binge, played about an hour of Stardew, fifteen minutes of Brigador, half an hour of Workers and Resources and then did one Hades run. Overall pretty fun night but I hit the hay a little late and woke up mildly hungover.
