game grumps: we made a game! us: ooh, what is it? game grumps:

us: oh no

“In Dream Daddy, you play a single father whose daughter is preparing to go off to college, and who’s finally ready to get back into the dating pool. But who among us is truly worthy to engage in courtship with such a caring and compassionate dad? Other dads, of course. Extremely attractive dads. Dads of every shape and size, of every type and for every persuasion. Dads.“ quote from Nerdist’s article

y’all be saying oh no but you know what? you know what? other than awkward daddy kink language, this is really cute. it’s not about the weird daddy dom play. like at all. it’s about cute gay dads falling in love with other cute gay dads. the dads are diverse and lovely and just like… damn. lots of love here. c’mon.

remember the ed edd n eddy valentines day special with the cupids that looked like sarah and jimmy making random people fall in love, and rolf squeezes lemons in his eyes so he can see them an fights them off with a mop

self-care is spraying lemon juice directly into your eyes to enhance your perception of the spectral realm so that you can undo Cupid’s magic with a piss-soaked mop

Okay: so if you openly profess shit like “Oh the US is using call of duty and other video games to fund and get Manpower for the military industrial complex” which is not only stupid but makes you sound like a basement dwelling conspiracist who sits around with the Guy Fox mask on sniffing their own farts. I’m sorry but no ones gonna play the new Call of duty space marines and think “Oh boy this sure makes me wanna join the United States armed forces.”

You do know that the US military really did make their own video games called America’s Army and Full Spectrum Warrior that have been around for over a decade as a recruitment tool, right? And that they’ve used games like UrbanSim as a tactical tool??? http://undertheradar.military.com/2016/05/6-military-video-games-used-to-train-troops-on-the-battlefield/

Oh, and the first videogame, Spacewar!, was developed with funding from the Pentagon. They were trying to use video games as training tools since Battlezone on the 2600 https://taskandpurpose.com/us-militarys-close-history-video-games/

OP also didn’t even mention CoD though.

Ya’ll remember 10th grade when you learned about how part of the reason we remember WWI as simultaneously horrifying and absurd (besides the alliances thing) was the fact that people all signed up in mass because everyone believed a collective myth that war was a fun glory fantasy.

And then how those attitudes shifted into reality throughout the 20th century until people pretty much unanimously agreed that war is, indeed, a heinous and unimaginably cruel condition, and that being a soldier sucks balls.

But idk if you’ve noticed but video games provide a much more enrapturing narrative than your typical 1914 schoolteacher and they’re being rather effective at selling people on the idea that hey, maybe there is a glory fantasy in being a soldier.

Like this isn’t some “oh now people think murdering is fun” alarmism, WWI enlisters didn’t think “yo you know what I could really go for? Murder.” They thought “war is an opportunity for self-actualization because people tell me it’s a personally enriching experience.” (Which it then, obviously, was not.) The general trend of war games is to re-sell that myth.

Don’t believe me? Probably the most technically impressive and immersively cinematic games on the market right now is literally about making you feel like a badass soldier… in World War 1, which for about a century we successfully managed to correctly remember as a veritable hell on earth. Until now, evidently.

Like, if you showed a European in 1925 Battlefield 1, after the initial shock of figuring out what a video game is, they’d punch you.

So, yeah, forgive people for inferring that *maybe* the military has something to do with the re-packaging and re-selling of the military myth.

They literally consult on video games. And films. And like pretty much anything.

They used Independence Day 2 as a recruiting tool.

They have OPENLY used FPS games as recruiting tools. Come on.

guy fox….

The only major military themed action series I can think of that acknowledges how screwed up and gross the MIC is Metal Gear. not surprisingly, the one not made in the US.

Okay, at this point there has to be something wrong with me, right? I’ve watched this 20 times in the last half hour, I still don’t know what they are saying half the time, but it doesn’t seem to matter because i’ve been crying my eyes out laughing for the entire last half hour …
