  • I’m conflicted with the DLC, I felt like it really lacked any satisfying ending

    spoiler

    since you either become full CIA or you end up getting betrayed by both. I personally got the ending where you send Songbird to the moon and she never talks to you again except a little gift you receive after a while

    To be fair though, I haven’t gotten to the ending you unlock after the DLC, so maybe that closure to the DLC storyline could be in that ending, don’t spoil me if so

    All around though it’s an interesting premise and characters, and there’s some banger quotes by Silverhand




  • Despite the bit of horseshoe theory, I like the way he describes how these fascist ideas take hold.

    All it takes is for someone to be disappointed in something, and there are plenty of things to be disappointed about in capitalism, and to be politically and historically uneducated. When there’s no mental resistance to that propaganda, it’s as easy as seeing the same meme multiple times for someone to associate a thing they hate with something completely irrelevant, while ignoring the real systemic reasons that lead to that disappointment. After that it’s a slippery slope, dog whistles lead to actual ideology, and the ideology eventually leads to real life action as well. And in the end, some person will have been completely ruined because they disliked a stupid fucking videogame and couldn’t notice the real reasons.
