He would prefer Skyrim, because Skyrim belongs to the Nords.

Okay but which great house does Marx join?

Edit: Trick question, he'd be an ashlander.

Honestly Marx pretty well approximates Nerevar.

Had all the power to make a positive impact on the world and then three asshole dictators drag his name through the mud long after his death.

I remember some people on Twitter being mad when at the end of the game, the game told them that they were fascists. It's funny to me because unless you were playing a total piece of shit, you always came out as a communist in this game.

idts. the “morrowind” text has a font weight far thicker than the rest, and the morrowind book covers something in the background that peaks out a bit at its top left

Can someone please explain the joke?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just a bit of absurdism. Modern-day leftists often fight over the legacy of Marx, who was hugely influential; the joke here is that "IF MARX WAS HERE TODAY HE'D-" and instead of "be 'x' ideology" it's "Enjoy a well-regarded classic game"

Ah, thank you stranger. I feel kind of dumb now lol.

No worries! Sometimes memes seem like they might have some more subtle joke to them, but no, in this case it's just being silly.

Yeah, I also tend to over think shit. Sometime a cigar is just a cigar.

a cigar is just a cigar

I have never heard this saying before, what the fuck could a cigar be? Did someone think it was a worm? a stick? a bomb??

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

it's a reference to a (possibly apocryphal? i'm not very well educated) anecdote about sigmund freud. freud had a hypothesis that basically any phallic object in a dream represents an actual phallus because supposedly basically everything in the human psyche is connected to sex. someone pointed out his fondness of cigars and he replied with the quote, "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

It's a quote often attributed to Sigmund Freud. I don't believe he ever actually said it though.

I want your psycho, your vertical schtick (hey)

When you're in Morrowind, oh, baby, that's sick
