I used to be funny. Really funny. Now I just work and actively pursue being anti-social online. Also I am an associate professor in Digital Culture as well ass journalism and communication. Also games. I do a lot of games.

Das Disney Jimmy Kimmel wieder ans Mikrofon lรคsst ist kein Sieg. Es ist eben jener, zur Kultur verklรคrte Markmechanismus, der uns genau an diese Klima- und Faschismus-Klippe gefรผhrt hat, an der wir als Spezies Mensch gerade stehen. Nicht Werte, allein Wertschรถpfung bestimmt die Gesellschaften.

That said - we should all strive to make our games be antifascist. I think I will meditate more on that in future designs.
This machine kills fascists. I recently read someone suggest that games and play were at their core antifascist. I wish it were so, but I don't think that games are inherently antifascist endeavours (war is after all a game)...

Every single European head of state are saying the same thing: this was a shameful display by the US president and vice president. Every single one is siding unapologetically with Zelenskyy.
This is the end of an era.
The US is no longer an ally of Europe.
The US is an ally of Putin.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

In V Alien visitors represents a fascist take-over through democratic means, in the vein of It Can't Happen Here. And the first thing they start doing is demonizing scientists and after a while persecuting them.
