Something about those awkward hand gestures really gets me going.

      Playing devil’s advocate here. It’s probably people who think no matter what, every single life is precious and should be preserved.

      Edit: I feel like I should probably add that I do not agree with this ideology whatsoever. Facists deserve a good beating

      You expect Nazis and their sympathizers to have a brain and form coherent sentences, huh?
      I fear, there are at least some who do and those are even more dangerous than the typical braindead Nazi.

      Genuinely? I think there are always a couple trolls downvoting anything and everything, or people who can’t resist being contrarian for the sake of it. I see downvotes applied to on-topic, factually correct, and completely uncontroversial posts and comments all the time. For example, go to any cute animal community. You’ll find various inoffensive pictures of the animals, with zero incorrect assertions because it is literally just a picture, and at least a few of these pictures of critters the entire community is about (so it’s on-topic) will have a few downvotes anyways. Same principle could apply here. If there are lots of upvotes I almost expect to see a few downvotes as “noise” from trolls.

      Also because Lemmy has Local and All, maybe there are people who, not caring that the community is Games, see this in their Local/All feed and do not like video games or Wolfenstein so they just hit downvote for “dislike” and move on.

      Sometimes I fat-finger my phone and downvote something I didn’t mean to. I always take it back, but I imagine not everyone would undo their accidental downvote. Especially if the sequence is downvote -> crash -> reopen tabs -> wait where was I, whatever I don’t care enough to undo one downvote online

        I’ve also downvoted things on accident before. Not yet on Lemmy because I have to more deliberately choose through Voyager. But it’s only a matter of time.

    I’ve been punching nazis and Italian fascists (as well as shooting, crushing skulls with heavy objects, blowing them up etc) in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle since around christmas.

    It’s a great time.

      I’ve been toying with the idea. So many good memories from New Colossus. It might be linear, it’s such a great story. Not Shakespeare great, but honest b-movie great.

        I can just see the NSA nerds now, “Sir, we have seen a severe uptick in downloads and installations of the video game ‘Woflenstein’… We must do something to stop the propaganda!”

        Edit: You know what, I’m gonna leave the typo because I think it makes it even more funny.

    Wolfenstein 3D was woke propaganda. At least that will be the official article if Trump and the right get their hands on Wikipedia like they’ve already said they want to.

          W2TNC was back when they still said SJW before woke became their boogeyman word but yeah. the comments section for the trailer was full of SJW complaints because the morons who didn’t even get the obvious message the first game were suddenly aware of politics when they saw a black woman in the mix.

      There’s a line in New Colossus where he’s in the USA during a parade for the Nazis and everyone is cheering and he says something like “look at them, cheering for their own destruction” and I keep being reminded of it

    I was literally googling earlier today to see if there were any updates on the next installment. Maybe it was subconsciously influenced by current events?

      Machine games has been working on Indiana Jones for the last few years, I doubt we’ll see anything for a while.

        Hold up, so they went from making the Wolfenstein games, to making an Indiana Jones game where (according to people here) you beat up Nazis?

          Standing on a pile of Nazi corpses definitely reminded me of Wolfenstein, even as Indy.

    I’ve had some fun Anti-Nazi movies playing while I work-from-home lately, like Inglourious Basterds and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

      I recommend The Dirty Dozen. It came out in the 60s, so you’re not getting Tarantino level gore. However, it gets so close to that line anyway.

      spoiler

      A horde of Nazis and their wives/mistresses get burned to a crisp and exploded while hiding out in a wine cellar. American soldiers are dropping grenades and pouring gasoline down the air vents.

      More and more, I’ve been coming back to Inglorious Basterds as possibly being QT’s best film.

      It is just so goddamn good.
