Something about those awkward hand gestures really gets me going.

    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.

    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?

        Based studio…

        I don’t think they are trying to decrease/cool down their anger. I think they are trying to engage in it.

        I’ll be honest, as long as people are not acting awful towards their fellow human beings (like taking out anger on a person who has nothing to do with it, punching someone over cutting in line at the bank) I do not particularly mind if people are increasing their anger and aggression instead of decreasing it. Jogging it out and getting angrier is still far better than punching it out at a person, especially since you probably still reap the health benefit of jogging.

        Thanks for the link though, fun read! I guess we should go to bed angry ;) Clicking one of the links in the article you linked was pretty interesting…

        One man in the rumination group became so angry while hitting the punching bag that he also punched a hole in the laboratory wall.

        My concerned side worries for that guy and the budgets of the people doing the research but most of me says “that’s just funny”.

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

        I doubt it’s that, simply because the OP is not talking about doing anything to anyone in the real world.

      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.

      Fun fact: Wolfenstein first released in 1981 as Castle Wolfenstein, and the famous one is 1992 Wolfenstein 3D. The Wolfenstein people usually talks about these day is the one made by MachineGames. There’s no known Wolfenstein released in 1940s.

        True I did see a lot online excusing Biden sending money to kill kids & saying people should vote for Kamala even though she said she’d pay Israel to kill kids too.

          Fun fact, Trump just lifted the hold on 2,000 pound bombs being sent to Israel, guess where those are going? You let the house burn down while you were trying to save the garage.

          Libs suck, but the Nazis are the actual racist white supremacist fascists - the Trump supporters.

          If that “logic” helps you cope, fine, but its effectiveness will probably deteriorate rapidly over time. Enjoy knowing that the next four years are partially your fault.

      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.
