I know exactly why the pause menu thing is so wonky! So when setting up a super basic pause menu, most people will go to the incredibly basic setup of just setting thr timescale to 0. This does in fact freeze the game, making for a quick pause. But it has some pretty major problems which you ran in to, all interactions are also paused. The reason this works the way it does is because in Unity when you set the code to set something as active or inactive, it will actually do that on the next frame of the game. But if the timescale is set to 0, then that next frame will never come. Thought it might be fun information to have!

[@EvanCWaters]

Yeah pausing is actually one of the trickier bits in game programming (or at least it's tricker than you'd think) since you have to tell the game to stop this process but not that one because the player still needs to be able to input this, etc. You have to actually think about what "paused" means for every element and put that in.

[@lucasm20]

The way I used to handle this (been a while, might not be 100% accurate) was to use the real time in Unity, which is a separate value not affected by the timescale as well as a paused bool for a few other things. You would also have to do this in case you wanna have any slow motion effects since it involves adjusting the timescale as well.

I can't blame anyone who isn't from the US or Mexico for not knowing the context of the Alamo story, but anyone who does know will see it for the Swastika-bearing flag it is. The Alamo was an old Spanish fort in what is now Texas. During the war in which Texas seceded from Mexico, it was being defended by a bunch of guys against a Mexican assault. The defenders lost and were slaughtered to the last man. This was a good thing, and the world would be a better place now if it had happened a lot more. Texas was seceding so it could keep enslaving black people. Every man in the Alamo was fighting for the "rights" of slavers, and many of them were slavers themselves. They all deserved what they got and more, and if every man fighting that war had been summarily executed instead of winning, history would be a lot less dark. People who lionize the defenders of the Alamo want us to either forget that history, or consider it a good thing. These people are not to be trusted.

[@boxylemons7961]

@@Frommerman Pretty accurate summary, though I think some people are moreso just straight up ignorant about the actual history of the Alamo than full on defend it in bad faith (Alamo was a bunch of good ol' americans fighting against an evil army of mexicans is pretty much just the pop history knowledge of it, like Napoleon being short or people in medieval times being flat earthers). With that briefly said however, don't get me wrong in that I firmly agree that how you describe the actual events of The Alamo as being accurate and I hate the whitewashed and oversimplified version of it that is common knowledge to many. It's rather disturbing with that as basically being the premise of the game, and how the game doesn't seem to show any slaves throughout the entire game, the only non-white characters being the "mexican army". It really doesn't surprise me with the context of the true history of the Alamo & Texas Slavery that eventually, a game like this *would* come around.

They want you to just act and hate blindly not think and work towards a particular goal ("Shoot things until you're told to stop shooting things"). Having a specific goal in mind like "survive until the time limit" "kill x amount of enemies" etc. are almost always accompanied by a WHY-but for their purposes they couldn't give that why until they were convinced you were far enough into the game that you actually cared, and not trying to sate your morbid curiosity. Because of that, I feel like the "hit me" part is their attempt of weeding out the curious about the game vs those who they think genuinely are interested in the message. Of course they underestimate gamers like yourself, but I bet that was by design. Hell I would even go so far as to think its SUPPOSED to be a secret that there's more to the game, and only "insiders"-probably those in training-are told about it as a test.

The andrew jackson note being used for the money achievement, in a racist game, is not lost on me.

[@psychonaut1502]

Yeah. It's some common theme of the far right. I remember when I was younger I came across an animated KZbin video about the national bank and how it was evil and how Andrew Jackson was a great president for opposing it. It's called The Collapse of the American Dream.

If you had any real education in American history, you'd understand what an amazing man he was.

[@junkcorp9996]

if you actually paid attention in us history you’d realize he was a pos. like i went to a rural, conservative area school and even all my education trying to sugarcoat it still made him look like a dick if you thought about it for more than five seconds

[@mammoneymelon]

that's honestly really funny in a horrible way like it'd be funny if i didn't think the game devs are unironically racist

I'm sorry but the intro sounds amazing, it sounds like Armed and Delerious. Randomness and drug trippy, they should have just kept on with the insanity and made a whole universe like that game did.

[@Graeldon]

The intro was definitely an experience that I'll never forget.

the difference is that armed and delerious wasn't intended to promote far right propaganda.

I have to say, for a while I was worried this video was going down the route of "they have right wing views, therefore they are Nazis," but no, the game just tries to ease you into it.

[@maozedong69420]

Can confirm, I can feel the Nazi coming inside of me

I hate the ideology of "everyone with right-wing views is a nazi". It's so stupid.

[@derpfluidvariant0916]

That's what I thought this was gonna be too. It just looked like a poorly made shooter game with Family Guy jokes.

this game feels almost AI generated with how confusing and random it is. And since a common side effect of AI generation is good amounts of racism or bigotry (like in the case of AI generated twitter) it makes sense

[@dabbingraccoons6416]

It looks like the ai looked at a lot of Alex Kobe’s on its development journey and skewed right wing websites

[@samuels1123]

I feel like AI would've made something more coherent, I predict some meth addicted single developer was responsible for sticking free assets together under the AI's instruction without review.

“I’m going to assume” Aaaaand dropped the video

[@Scatmanseth]

I’m reminded of an old imageboard saying, paraphrased as “Pretending to act retarded is still acting retarded”. At some point continuing to say and do terrible things for shock value will morph into doing them because you actually believe in it and enjoy them. You are what you say, not what you say you are.

Goodness this game looks and seems like a literal trash fire. It always shocks me how far tin foil hat conspiracies have actually made it in our society. I'll never understand the pure hatred behind those conspiracies, let alone how they are so damn popular. This was a good, in depth video- One a lot more people should probably be aware of so they know at least one game to avoid.

Video games will never be free from politics, but they shouldn't be used to spread hate and misinformation. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️

I grew up in a country where you don't really see or hear about Jews so it's always very jarring when people just start rambling about Jews and assigning them as the cause of everything that doesn't go well in their own personal life
