Okay, okay, I think I got it this time... I think. It's Arcane, right? So then the answer to the rename would be League of Legends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the only game less loved than its screen version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ping Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 On 9/12/2022 at 8:16 AM, ping said: Genocide and Other Atrocities... IN SPACE! Flooring Inspector of the Caribbean Rob Graves, Punch Nazis, Lecture at 4PM The Myth of the Clean Wehrmacht: MS Excel edition Local Society Man Ruins Everything @Eltosian Kadath got two correct - Stellaris and Indiana Jones - but let me solve the rest (and explain myself): In Stellaris, you can play as empires that are literally genocidal in nature: Fanatic Purifiers ("KILL ALL THE XENOS!"), Devouring Swarms, or Determined Exterminators (murderous robots). But even as a "merely" xenophobic empire, you can murderize entire species, or enslave them, or eat them, or genetically atropy their brains... If there's a dystopian SciFi trope, Stellaris probably has it. In addition, Stellaris is developed by Paradox, who's otherwise mostly famous for their historical Grand Strategy games (Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Victoria...). They generally avoid making genocide into a game mechanic, but EU4 in particularly has a couple infamous instances "click button, murder people". The main character of the Monkey Island series, Guybrush Threepwood, starts the first game as a wannabe pirate. In the very first dialogue, a sentry replies to that by saying that he looks more like a flooring inspector. Guybrush not being a very manly man or pirate-y pirate is a bit of a running gag throughout the series. Dr Henry Walton "Indiana ("Indy")" Jones, when he's not out there punching nazis and stealing cultural treasure, works as a college professor. Another Paradox game/series: Hearts of Iron, set in the 1930s and 40s. Every nation is playable, so that includes the nazis. This, in my opinion, puts the devs in a bit of a catch-22. They obviously can't gamify the freaking Holocaust (and they didn't) - but that means that nazi Germany is just another playable faction similar to everybody else. I've seen the justification that HoI is an army game, so you're just controlling the Wehrmacht, who didn't have anything to do with the Holocaust, but, well, that propagates said "myth of the clean Wehrmacht" and ignores stuff like WW1 generals giving the Nazis some nice propaganda fodder, the Wehrmacht protecting the regime doing the Holocaust, or the war in eastern Europe being explicitly genocidal in its goals. In Darkest Dungeon, literally every bad thing you encounter can be traced back to your dead Ancestor, who called you to clean up his mess, being a moustache-twirling villain.
