Yes I know that fascism 
is a playable ideology in Disco Elysium, but presenting fascism as with its integral ugly reality, glaring contradictions, and unsustainable death drive is a pretty leftist (and correct) way of portraying it.

I won’t say there’s a direct correlation (especially because some people can be especially prickly about even suggesting entertainment can normalize attitudes and beliefs and from there influence behavior), but even from the other way around (where perhaps they were already like that and just found a niche to indulge their little fantasies without consequence) I haven’t known anyone who could roam around for hours at a time in a GTA game while ignoring actual game objectives in favor of “sandboxing” the act of running over pedestrians and murdering prostitutes while chuckling insatiably, that didn’t turn out to be a massive fucking chud.
I did when I was a teenager in 4, but I think that was in large part because there is very little to do in the “open world” except that.
If it calms you, the person in that case was trying to see if the game had any consequences for it
I can see that as a sort of curiousity’s sake thing. I’ve done rampage runs through some vaguely sandbox games myself. I don’t return to such rampages and drag them out with endless fascination like some kind of chuddy people I knew, though.
yeah for sure. I think my way of appreciating vidya has also changed. I like building way more than destroying or conquering/controling. (PatSoc moment)
BTW, there are NO consequences but a line about how it didnt have to be like this for going guns blazing into what is a massive private collection of humanity’s spacefaring history and decking everything with grenades. The exhibits wont even be damaged lmao, not to mention the dozens of dead
Starfield sounds more and more bland and bleak the more I read about it.
