That comic also represents 100% of all survival crafting games, plus Factorio
Itβs true, but when I play games like Terraria, I try to preserve beautiful features of the map and even incorporate them into my builds. Like those surface cave things where itβs basically floating dirt/rock with grass and trees growing on them. I often make those into the entrances of underground homes. Same with the deserts. When you get the actuators, you can make sand entrances. I also enjoy making houses in the leaves of the living trees.
Satisfactory
I like to describe the aliens that attack you in factorio as environmentalists.
Pollution actually makes the bugs stronger. Maybe they like pollution and want to go eat it all up.
But your corporate overlords demand it, sadness isnβt efficient, get back to work!
But really they did a great job with commentary. People still say βwhy canβt we get green energy in the game?β. Because thatβs not the point. This is raw capitalism. Youβre dropped on a pristine planet, destroy the environment, clear it of all natural resources. Itβs &meant_ to make you feel guilty. Maybe look around outside
Yeah man, we all understood that the first time around when it was called Fern Gully.
Like Avatar if you want but like⦠it is not a deep piece of media with hard-to-discern messaging. Shit is pretty clear.
Fucking Tarzan was fighting evil white exploiters of pristine Africa in books back in the early 1900s.
A good white saviour from the evil white people, because the indigenous canβt do it for themselves. Just like in Ferngully and Avatar.
Are there even any indigenous people in Tarzan? I havenβt read the book, but from the movie I only remember his gorilla buddy and the little elephant. I think Tarzan is more about rebelling against civilization in general, instead of colonization in specific (which James Cameronβs Avatar is). Itβs very post-industrialization in that sense.
Edit: Whoops, just read the synopsis on Wikipedia. I donβt think Tarzan is the white saviour youβre looking forβ¦
Which Tarzan book did you read the synopsis for? Burroughs wrote 24 of them.
One time I unmatched someone from a dating app because the second avatar movie was coming out and they said that it was weird of me to say that the alien people were supposed to represent Native Americans because βtheyβre just blue aliens why would you compare them to real life?β
Apparently media literacy makes you a weirdo?
Thatβs just Evil, if we build an industrial park there where will the slaves forced labor work bit*hes
*Due to recent very public events our Public relations officer has been sent on leave with pay instead Nataly will complete this statement.
Thatβs just Evil, if we build an industrial park there where will the (Checks Notes) Employees park there cars?
Nataly needs a spelling-checker. Also, a quick tutorial on comma splices wouldnβt be wasted.
You know: grade school stuff.
Thanks, Iβll remember that when I go to schoolβ¦ oh wait, Iβm not in school anymore. Iβm gainfully employed, get paid plenty, and nobody cares. Huh, itβs almost like the hyper-educated imposition placed on us by society is simply a form of control, gatekeeping, and self-aggrandizing and the people who spent more time studying than forming relationships wasted their time and are now disgruntled because they have to work harder than those who arenβt overly anal grammar Nazis.
Avatr is about capitalism
That wasnβt glaringly obvious to everyone?
Like, to absolutely everyone? This ranks up there with βbreathing is good.β
Well acschually oxygen is a corrosive chemical and probably damages your lungs (since thatβs the tissue that comes in most contact with it). And also the Great Oxydation Event is probably one of the greatest - if not the greatest - mass extinction of all times, so β¦
Some people are dense enough that βthe pointβ is the name of a baseball bat you have to go get to get it across.
It was also about the poor soldiers getting used to further capitalism.
Honestly, thoughβ¦. That military wasnβt very credible. Half their aircraft you could disable by dumping buckets of pebbles into the fans.
Well itβs literally Pocahontas in space so more obvious comparison is to the colonialism. They could grow gardens and farms while destroying the natives, the movie would have been the same.

Colonialism was driven by capitalism

They werenβt settling land - they were setting up a mining operation.
It was just one line of dialog, but the sequel did mention that the company is expanding from just resource extraction to selling settlements to the wealthiest who are fleeing a dying earth
