It’s bizarre to see people role-playing enthusiastic fascism with the world the way it is right now.
It’s possible to be an anarchist while roleplaying a hardcore fascist in a tabletop RPG. It’s fantasy. Fascism’s best kept as a non-tenable, mockable idea for fiction.

I would defect to the bugs’ side
I don’t understand these hyro-glifics. Can you just switch the number over to SEDI (Super Earth Directional Inputs)
Of course!

“Yes. Please for the love of God. I would rather be torn asunder by an alien bug than spend another day in this depressing shithole.”
Have you ever watched The Mist? it would be a nightmare to get captured alive by those horrifying spiders
For anyone that doesn’t know, the spiders size varies from a tarantula to a dog, and they reproduce by inserting hundreds of eggs inside you, they then eat you alive inside out when hatching
Also they have acid webs tha shoots like lasers
I actually watched it just a few nights ago. And yes, fuck those spiders. 😱
Pretty decent movie, it’s Stephen King stuff if you’re into that.
The movie was all right, but the finale was terrible. The short story ending was much scarier (and what’s more, would have left the door wide open for a sequel—I don’t know what the hell they were thinking with the ending as written).
I hated the movie ending. Short story ending is way better. Best way to watch the movie is just turn it off when they leave the grocery store then it bearable.
Been a while since I’d thought about it, so I looked up some articles about it. They all seemed to think the film’s ending was bleak, whereas the story’s was hopeful. That wasn’t at all how I remembered it, so I went back and re-read the story. All the articles seemed to miss the idea that in the story, there was no National Guard coming to the rescue. There’s no indication that the mist has any end, or that civilization’s existing power structures have survived. The protagonist hears (or hallucinates) a single garbled word over the radio—that’s the entirety of the hope on offer. A disappointing example of popular literary criticism.
The ending of the movie is a bit shitty… Dude just had to wait like 10 more minutes and would have been fine. But they just had to use those last 3 bullets burning a hole in their pocket. The book ending still sounds better than that.
Edit: BTW, since you already posted it there, if you copy the URL for the uploaded image, you can re-use it and lemmy will detect that it’s the “same” post and show the cross-post link to the other post.
I actually started to post it there, but I was worried that maybe I’m posting too many memes in that community, so I thought I’d slow down… If nobody else does it first, I’ll crosspost it a little later today.
That community needs your support! Would you like to know more?
