It didn’t take long for Seyshell Beach to fall.
Our enemy was ruthless, efficient - but not nearly fast enough, for you had already primed the hellbomb, and because of you, we raised the flag, spread its message, shattered our enemies’ resolve.Our victory - your victory, was so close… I wish you could have lived to see it.
But you belong to the Beach.
Your body, your armor, all burned and turned to glass.
Everything.
Except… your courage.That, you gave to us, and with it, we can re-liberate.
22·1 day agoEA has a bad reputation on Lemmy
EA has a bad reputation everywhere, and they mostly deserve it - even if you barely hear about said hatred anymore, because so many publishers and even a few indie devs managed to supersede their reputation.
Ready Or Not, I think?
On the surface it plays like copaganda, some people certainly call it copaganda, it does have some pro-police elements, but there are several bits of lore that points to cases of police corruption or misbehavior on multiple scales.
some examples (spoilers)
- In one mission, you have to detain a corrupt FISA (= FBI) agent - he may pull out a gun and shoot you, if he feels like he can take you out.
- You have to raid a house where three brothers are illegally modding and selling guns, to pay for their mother’s cancer treatment. She tipped off the cops, to stop her children from getting into too much trouble; if you end up using lethal force, you’re killing the sons of a mother who believed in you in front of her, and the game doesn’t count that as a failure.
- There’s an in-universe equivalent of MKUltra, and the main character is apparently a successful test subject of it. Some speculate that the USIA (= CIA) is artificially facilitating crime in Los Suenos to put you to the test.
- A mission briefing states that a police officer (or many? idr) beats up a detained suspect, who has to be sent to a hospital - the “victim” did massacre an entire night club with his buddies, but still, it’s technically police brutality.
- In the last mission of the base game you find a cargo container with human trafficking victims in it, then a sus conversation happens where another FISA agent butts in the comms and orders you to close it; it’s unclear what’s going on, the entire game teaches you that it’s specifically not your job to take care of injured civilians and whatnot, but the tone of the characters implies that the FISA agent may be trying to cover the tracks of the criminal organization.
If you do a bad job too often (which includes harming civilians and surrendering suspects), your subordinates retire (from the police, I assume).
Not you, though.
MKUltra.

That was on demand though, not passively fed to Flock
It is a surprise to me, I didn’t know they weren’t doing it yet.

… dinosaurs.
Who Killed Captain Alex, an Ugandan disasterpeace similar to The Room in how much effort and passion the makers put into it (except WKCA has more people in it and it looks like it has a fraction of the budget of The Room (still extremely memeworthy in a wholesome kinda way))
Relevant to the screenshot: [here’s the context]
I didn’t realize how niche of a reference this is when I made the screenshot, but after thinking about it for a few minutes I realized I am unironically unable not to think about this scene every time I hear or read the word “commando”
A service or technology being still halfway dogshit doesn’t seem to be a concern for them, that’s why we’re here in the first place!
3·6 days agoI haven’t played it in a while (a decade, even), so I may be mistaken, but I know of Ghost 1.0.
(it’s definitely not “modern” though)
Surely you don’t expect developers not to ship an entire web browser as a dependency for their application?
Anything?
… I’ll see myself out
Not whom you asked, but I imagine it tastes vaguely like canned Heineken
The other?
There’s a whole bunch

Grievous and permanent injury, even
