Damn, guess I can’t get that Shadows of the Damned remaster now ooooooooooooooh

Of all the stupid things gamers do and believe in, their rabid anti-China hysteria might be the dumbest, it’s just pure performative anti-communism and racism

    I wonder if the average g*mer is aware that there are countries in Asia besides Japan and China. In his latest review, Yahtzee reviews a game by a Taiwanese developer, and seems to imply that its setting is based on the People’s Republic. This despite the fact that both of that developer’s previous games were explicitly set in Taiwan and dealt with themes of Taiwanese historical oppression.

    (and yes I know Taiwan is part of China but its de facto government isn’t).

      Anytime you see an Australian on the internet, assume they are frothing at the mouth racist against China, while also not being able to point to it on a map. Until proven otherwise, it’s a pretty safe assumption unfortunately. Our media has near 24/7 “China bad” coverage, constantly dehumanising Chinese people and lying about their government.

        God I remember that fucking bullshit about the Chinese photographer/artist who made a piece dramatizing the crimes of Australia in Afghanistan.

        The Australian flag draped over the Afghan flag shaped as a puzzle piece on the floor.

        And the narrative the Australian media went with was “this is fake news, the image is fake.” Uh, yeah? That’s how art works, it’s not supposed to fool. Quit fucking distracting from the discussion about the crimes of Australia

      What game?

      edit: nvrm it is nine souls by red candle games. The first game seem really interesting. Apparently the games did well in real China and got a lot of analysis, but the hyperlink on wikipedia is broken. The second had some winnie the pooh bullshit that they apologized for but redditors LOVED and the ROC imposter state touted
