Kamala famously is a gun owner tho

More than a few high profile anti-gun people have owned firearms. Diane Feinstein comes to mind as another example.

ALL of the super wealthy anti-gun people, like Michael Bloomberg, have no issue being protected by people with firearms.

It's not the guns that they're against. They're against them being owned by ~~peasants~~ regular people.

An armed proletariat is much more difficult to control.

No, she's not. She said so.

It was hard to tell if she said it because she believed it, or just because she's trying to win as cable news analysts have said about her other policies

Oh no, my shooty game has a vote map where I can't kill supporters there. This is not freedom! Yeah its dumb, but it makes sense its not a real fortnite map that you play on.

Oh god, this is an official thing...

Anyway, what's the expectation if you disable shooting in a shooting game? So much fun, I could... run around and stuff.

They tried to do a themed Among Us game, but when they removed the ability of crewmates to criticize each others' votes it just made the imposters win every round

e; That was a joke (probably should be obvious, but I'm not trying to spread disinformation out here)

fortnite's kinda trying to pull off roblox tho, like their minigames are fullh scriptable in UE4

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

They're trying to do every type of game and act like Fortnite is it's own OS/device, in a sense. It has racing, it has Lego, it has building, it has guitar hero

Next up: a racing game where you can’t drive any of the cars. Should be a pretty unique experience.

I don't play fortnite and I tend to like experimental media. The article has once reviewer calling the map "more thoughtful than expected", and I'm also getting the sense that no-gun maps aren't anything new.

I still think it's not as weird and terrible as the click-hungry legacy media has been inviting us to find it. It's a genuine seeming effort to reach younger people less likely to vote or read about policy ideas. It's just a shame it didn't catch on much.
