AndyJWest Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) So, was Tetris pro-Soviet Stakhanovite propaganda on the virtues of hard work for the Motherland, or a metaphor for the endless struggle of the ordinary people against the oppression being rained down on them by those in power above? I think we should be told... Edited December 10, 2020 by AndyJWest

Rei-sen Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I haven't played it yet, but after watching and reading some reviews I'm already offended. Cancel the damn bullet sponginess!
unlikely_spider Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I'm just going to wait for a couple of patches. Every review I've read has mentioned many bugs.

And the trouble with allowing hate speech is that it is usually directed downwards from a position of power or strength. The problem with limiting free expression is that as soon as you limit the other person's free expression, he's going to want to limit yours. "I can't say 'this', fine you can't say 'that'!" And on and on until we get to the point where, like in Orwell, dictionaries get thinner and thinner every year. It's a crusty issue to be sure.

Excellent! We used to have a bumper sticker on our chipper that said "I Hate Trees!". Raised a few of the same eyebrows I'll bet. The snowflakes didn't get the joke.

Gambit21 Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Nothing like fresh air - outside, in the grocery store - everywhere. Fresh, fear free air.
BraveSirRobin Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Lots of people thought that. Then they died. Ironically. They couldn’t breath.
Gambit21 Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 I'm sorry I'm having trouble hearing you over all of this fresh air rushing in.

People like you will be remembered, and on the wrong side of history. These attitudes aren't just childish and entitled, they are deadly; they are the primary reason that 300,000 Americans are dead, instead of maybe half that. People like you make me sick to my stomach.

Robin...I just can't discuss this with you here. I wish I could. I could post link after link after link from journals, peer reviewed papers, actual death numbers according to the CDC, what an actual "case" is according to the CDC, the actual efficacy of the test, many peer reviewed papers on the documented efficacy of masks, etc etc and on and on. This thread would be locked, (if it's not destined for that already) and none of it would do any good. It would just be a pissing match and I don't have time for that in real life, let alone on a forum. This is just not the place. I have better things to do. So let's just talk about something else hmm?

Long established peer reviewed science from scientific journals and data right from the CDC website is not "wingnut" Robin, but that statement you just made is very indicative and the crux of the entire problem. Hysteria rules.
6./ZG26_Custard Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 I can't stand the way politics has been creeping into all forms of entertainment media for the last 5 to 10 years. Now with Cyberpunk, I think this maybe the first game out there where you can play as a "chick" with some additional junk in the trunk. As long as it's a good game that doesn't push political claptrap I may give it a look when it goes on sale in about 5 years.
