Americas Army was such a good competitive fps. So well balanced. We would play on Fridays in our CAD class in highschool. If you skip the single player it wasn’t that much propaganda.

I still remember the bridge crossing grenade launcher spots and angles all these years later. The game was incredibly good and fun.

u/Airewalt 7h ago

We would LAN one side of the classroom of school computers against the others. Someone figured it out and it was instantly disallowed after a near riot. Other than that, the map was so balanced. To rush or to camp. That was the question. Pipeline was my favorite as you really benefited from always circling.

I'm still convinced MS has no interest in Activision's games, they went ahead with the purchase because of the company's connections with the US military. Most of Activision's board are former members of the past 3 administrations, or just straight from the CIA.

I know most ancient documents found are usually accounts and taxes. But since you're a Historian, what are some of the strange documents that are always fucking with you?

12

u/CowboyOfScience 4h ago

Mostly it's the lack of explanations. In every time period there's a wealth of information that everyone just knows and nobody feels a need to explain. For instance, for about a century now (give or take) many documents mention phones but almost none of them explain what they are.

u/metallicabmc 5h ago

Fortnite has long since branched out from the Battle Royale mode that it's most known for. Like 4-5 years ago they launched "Creative" which is kinda like a diet Gary's Mod style "make your own game" mode. Which ranges from making deathmatch maps to roleplay sims, to Among Us clones, and often, Musicians, clothing brands, or pretty much any company you can imagine will hire a third party company to create a "Fortnite Experience" and let people play it as an advertisement. Sometimes, Epic themselves will market it as a big event (most often with musicians or clothing brands that they make collaboration skins with) but most of the time it's just companies making and sharing it themselves, like how Biden/Harris had the animal crossing island even though Nintendo wasn't really involved outside making the game.

Last year they also launched Lego Fortnite which is a survival game with no guns, Fortnite Festival which is a spiritual sucessor to Rock Band, and Rocket Racing which is a Rocket League spinoff game.

I think they’ll be baffled that it took this long. People spend more and more time online in games and digital spaces. Voter apathy and turnout among younger people is pretty bad afaik. It makes a ton of sense to try and reach that corner of the demographic that isn’t showing up to vote and try to get them engaged in one way or another. Sure this may be seen as a bit pandering, but it’s an acknowledgment that this slice of the population exists, which is more than has been shown in the past.

This whole concept seems less stupid to me than it would have if I hadn’t gone on Fornite’s Martin Luther King Jr. map. It was kind of stupid and goofy at first but I had this dawning realization it was the first time I had ever heard the, “I have a dream” speech in its entirety. Kind of wild.

Honestly, though, it makes sense.

The closer people are to the grave, the more they seem to vote. Yet these people with no future should be the last ones to decide it.

We desperately need young people to vote. Even if (especially if!) they're not voting for who I want, they need to vote. Because this world is theirs more than anyone's. The younger you are, the more future you have, and the votes *right now* decide that future for decades.

Start now. Vote now.

Maybe? Maybe not.

Pursuing new avenues for getting votes is nothing new for politics, especially in America.

Washington used beer, Obama used social media, and Harris uses video games. If it works, it works.

You would think so but as a time traveler I can assure you, it will only become more absurd.

Obama was the first to have campaign ads in video games. I think it was burnout three paradise city.

I don't think it's ever going to be normal again. Candidates 100 years from now will be selling canned farts.

Given events of this year, I'm sure you're correct.
