We're approaching the point where a future leader in South America has strong opinions about Dragon Ball.

The satire side of GTA was always incredibly, *incredibly* terrible.
Like the sheer dissonance in 4 with Niko's grisly Yugoslav Wars backstory being paired the most Mid 2000s British Person's Opinions About America on the radio.

When the train came out of the screen and killed all those people then it became Art

Damn right, Art can only be achieved through bloodshed, just look at how many people Leonardo da Vinci killed to paint the Mona Lisa.

They have the decent idea of the characters going "hey, let's stop fighting each other and instead go take out the people who are fucking with us" but because there are three characters we send Michael to go do ultraviolence on some random gang bangers Franklin had beef with.

"I just want to entertain" =/= art also completely destroys 95% of music as candidates for "art" which is absurd on the face of it, and that's not getting into art that was made under commission.

Can't complete Romeo and Julet because the clock is tied to the framerate and modern CPUs are too fast so you barely get past Fair Verona before the prince's closing remarks.

2077 smartly has the consumer-grade tech be Ridley Scott's wet dream while the super high-end, rich people stuff has a look closer to actual modern electronic design.

Cyberpunk that's cribbing from Blade Runner is very clearly wedded to the cultural and economic landscape of the 80s and it's thoughts on the future.
Even non-BR-derived cyberpunk is a reflection of it's times, Metal Gear is blatantly a product of the 90s and later the GWOT.

The common wisdom is that people *say* they want immersive sims but when they come out no one actually buys them so devs and publishers are understandably reluctant to put in the amount of work required to make them.

I think we're at the point where there are more BLOPS than there are regular non-subtitled CoDs.

Jeff Gerstmann has three kids, works independent, and lives in SoCal and he still managed to afford one, sounds like a skill issue on your part Luke.

*USE USED GAMES

The one-two punch of THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL WATCH TV ON and WE WON'T LET YOU USE GAMES (which got walked back within *days*) broke Microsoft's leg for that generation.

There weren't any PS4 HAS NO GAMES jokes because the Xbone was a bigger source of schadenfreude I assume.

The PS3 had a slow start both because of the price and the fact there was exactly jack and shit to play on it that wasn't already on the 360.

This is essentially canon with the caveat that Maul wins fights against people who are actually somehow more pathetic than him.

Vader's presence reminds the Moffs that their "Order At Any Cost" philosophy is subordinate to much loftier ideas, it's like if Gabriele D'Annunzio was running Italy and would occasionally remind more ordinary monsters like Balbo or Ciano what was really guiding the state.

Sheev wants to rule the galaxy under Sith principles, so a lot of causing pain to others and exerting power over them - most of the time this goes hand in hand with your Tarkin- and Krennic-types' standard fascism, but how uncomfortable Vader makes them shows there's a slight tension there.

Starfox's stupid fucking hair pisses me off the most about him.

Sheev crying in ecstasy as he thinks about how many Dark Side Points are going to be added to his score with each exploded planet.
Every Sith from Ajunta Pall to Plagueis hooting and hollering from Force Hell (Moraband.)

Then there's the possibility that would give both Krennic and Tarkin the biggest Space Boners: *building more Death Stars* to increase coverage and redundancy because it's a proven method.
comment in response to
post
And to be fair to them, the Death Star *is* the centerpiece of the imperial project as it stood in 1 BBY. Had it survived, it's easy to imagine that full-on rebellion dies off as the reality of a "we can blow up most any planet that causes trouble with one shot" machine sets in.

MALENKOV: Comrade Stalin, we have increased industrial steel production by 1.2% in the past year, we are set to meet our target of 5% increase in production by the end of the decade!
STALIN: Goooood, gooooood, *shoots lightning out of his hands into the sky*

Kids joining the Bane Youth, government-funded family vacations to Moraband, Force-sensitives inducted from toddlerhood into a new Inquisition that isn't incompetent, a "new Coruscant" built with "patriotic laborers" filled with statues of Sheev and Plagueis and Tenebrous the rest...
comment in response to

A Death Star that *doesn't* get blown up is probably the capstone of the past two decades of consolidation that would lead into a proper Sith-ization of the galaxy.

The best original Family Guy song is a riff of a song from an obscure musical starring Jackie Gleason, MacFarlane's appreciation for pop culture from the 40s-60s is deep.

WW3 devs will stop being cowards and add the South America Front as part of the base war and not leaving it to modders.

I guess "religiostate" might work better for whatever the BJP's angling for. "You can speak whatever language you want but we'd much prefer you worship under the broad 'Hindu' umbrella."
