60 of 107 · most liked firstI whole-heartedly encourage folks to read "Forever War" and also recreational reading isn't a survey class unless one thinks it'd be fun for it to be. OMW is in a genre conversation with Starship Troopers and Forever War and Armor and Ender's Game, absolutely. It can also be read by itself, for fun.
unlabelledView post →This one seems wrong. I believe its a reference to Helldivers 2, where the code on the right is entered to order a 500kg bomb. The game is a satire of fascism, very much in the style of Starship Troopers, so the fascist comment also makes sense there.
unlabelledView post →And before there's lots of Hellidivers hate (I play the game and love it), it should be noted that it's a satire of fascism the same way that Starship Troopers is: it shows soldiers being led by fascist ideology to their deaths, and ramps the absurdity up to 11.
unlabelledView post →Credit where due, that new Starship Troopers game understands the brief. The whole thing is framed as (wildly unrealistic) propaganda software for kids aged 10 and up as their first step into joining the Forever War. Extra-patriotic developer commentary optional! Somehow less subtle than Helldivers
unlabelledView post →Will it do anything to stop chuds lionizing him in yet another iteration of what I am going to call the Starship-Troopers-Problem? No, obviously not, even though the chuds are currently promising they won't play the game (but absolutely will).

unlabelledView post →Wait was that on a bullet? 😅 The game is pure parody about super democracy. Think Starship Troopers but more in your face. Nothing extremist about it, it doesn't hide that it's a game about killing bugs and robots.
unlabelledView post →Helldivers 2, for the normies among us, is a very popular multiplayer game modeled after Starship Troopers. Very satirical. Space soldiers from a sci-fi 'super earth' empire champion 'managed democracy' while bombing other planets. They call the aliens fascists, but it's sorta the other way around.

unlabelledView post →I said and meant this when it was first announced, but after the election, I think it's just even more of a bad idea to release a 40k movie. These chuds don't understand Star Wars and Starship Troopers, and we already know they don't understand 40K the game. Just, bad vibes there.

unlabelledView post →What's your "and another thing" movie/book/etc? Something you deeply disagree with, but it expresses its terrible ideology in a way that invites deep hate-analysis rather than just shunning? Some of mine: 300, Ender's Game, RENT, 50 Shades of Grey, American Psycho (book), Starship Troopers (book)
unlabelledView post →Watching a streamer quickly replaying the Mass Effect series and god damn I lose a little respect for anyone that praises the writing. Starship Troopers done straight. The game says saving a handful of politicians is objectively better than saving a hundred working class lives.
unlabelledView post →Oh, I didn't notice that a big update dropped the other day for the surprisingly neat Starship Troopers RTS. Overhauls to all campaigns with more units. And the next big update is adding a whole new game mode. Plans for expansions well into next year, too.
unlabelledView post →FFS, I just want to watch the Carolina game, but to do so I have to subject myself to ICE ads out of Starship Troopers.

unlabelledView post →Considering the game is about playing as a fascist (a la Starship Troopers) I’m pretty sure that quote is not actually in Helldivers
unlabelledView post →The Starship Troopers games have been on point in general. The RTS from a few years ago opens with you running a mission to apprehend labor union organizers so that they can be executed on galactic national TV as a distraction from the news of a major arachnid offensive. We're TOTALLY the good guys!
unlabelledView post →Warhammer 40K. Judge Dredd/2000AD. Rorschach. Punisher. Squid Game. Almost all of the cyberpunk genre. Starship Troopers novel. Talking to someone about any of these will reveal their politics almost immediately.
unlabelledView post →Its basically the Starship Troopers movie as a video game. You drop down onto a plane and do a mission against bugs, robot terminator, or alien squid zombies. You call in airstrikes by inputting a series of directions, "up right down down down" calls in a 500kg bomb airstrike
unlabelledView post →“The only good bug is a dead bug” 1997 SEGA Pinball Starship Troopers pinball machine with a Color DMD. The game is pretty uncommon to see on location. No official production numbers exist but I’ve seen estimates of 1,500 units online. Continued… #starshiptroopers #sega #pinball #arcade #90s
unlabelledView post →See the first Starship Troopers film, which heavily inspired the game, as another example. Verhoeven was clearly mocking militarism and fascism, but there are people that took it as a po-faced (if inept), sci-fi, war movie. See also Fight Club abd toxic masculinity.
unlabelledView post →Finally at end game in Metaphor ReFantazio. It’s been such a fun journey and I’m going to dearly miss all the characters in the game 😭 My favorite game of 2024 🏆 Go play! Also a side game I’ve been playing is Starship Troopers: Extermination. It’s chaotic but so fun just mindlessly blasting bugs 😆
unlabelledView post →American Psycho, Starship Troopers are both far superior I might add the TV show 'Arcane' as a truly standout show based on a game and fandom that seemed not particularly interesting. I really enjoyed the violence of adaptation in The Wheel of Time, making a quite turgid and parochial work better

unlabelledView post →the commercials for the US military during the White Sox game are borderline Starship Troopers ("a relentless warrior ethos!") and also: we're literally losing to Iran?
unlabelledView post →They didn't show that on TV that I saw - though maybe I stepped away for a moment. Seemed odd to swear in new recruits in the middle of an NFL game. Felt somewhat dystopian in a Starship Troopers sort of way though.

unlabelledView post →So this evening's film doubleheader is Robocop + Starship Troopers. Both are re-watches. Also, there a surreal quality that a middle class family is playing Nukem as the family game night game. Miguel Ferrer makes a great asshole executive. And Kurtwood Smith plays Kurtwood Smith.
unlabelledView post →the only real problem with every Starship Troopers game is that they apparently have the rights to everything but the ludicrously, absurdly perfect Poledouris score?
unlabelledView post →I’m pretty sure more or less the entire game is a Starship Troopers reference, including the parody of fascism that an unfortunate number people consume with no sense of irony.
unlabelledView post →I've recently been playing a bit of the 1996 MS-DOS game Terra Nova. I didn't really play this one growing up, but I've grown to love the unique hybrid mech/soldier feel. It reminds me of book Starship Troopers or The Forever War. The FMV addition throws me back to Wing Commander III (laudatory).

unlabelledView post →Helldivers 2 is a VERY popular game, and makes fun of the kind of world that certain people want, a bit like Starship Troopers, and of course that flies over some heads.
unlabelledView post →We've been blown away by the wave of positivity after the release of Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! ❤️ It's been great to see so many of you enjoying the game and putting those bugs in their place. We can't thank you enough! 🫡
unlabelledView post →Yep. Reference to the 500kg bomb strategem. It's a great game that reminds me of Starship Troopers.
unlabelledView post →Played a great narrative game today. Recreated the Starship Troopers Outpost 29 battle with #Ultramarines making a last stand against endless waves of #Tyranids. They lasted until round 10. Random spawning & objectives granting special buffs made for many exciting moments. #WarhammerCommunity

unlabelledView post →Halo's politics have always been dangerous, it came out during the Bush era, worshipped the military, and basically asked, "What if Starship Troopers wasn't a satire?" Natural endpoint for this game.
unlabelledView post →Throughly agree. Adding Starship Troopers to that list. Verhoeven had a real talent for pointing out the systems, methods, and end-game of the horrific regimes he lived through.
unlabelledView post →Helldivers is basically a rebranded Starship Troopers movie game.
unlabelledView post →Also worth noting that Helldivers is a Starship Troopers parody with even more over the top framing, and that every single enemy in the game is called a fascist
unlabelledView post →I mean, there are already more EDF games than any human could rationally want, there’s never really been a need for a Starship Troopers game. Still, shame to hear this fell short.

unlabelledView post →Yeah, full circle I was on a training course at HO when Starship Troopers came out and a colleague asked why we hadn't sued them for stealing designs Boss looked at design studio head and basically said "can of worms, too risky" They did visit Blizzard way back when, played a game of 40K ;-D
unlabelledView post →is HellDivers 2 basically an unofficial Starship Troopers game? might pick it up on sale if it hits those same verhoeven vibes
unlabelledView post →Starship Troopers and Ender's Game are basically the same story, Ender's Game just has the protagonist realize, "Hey, this is supremely messed up!" so audiences can't ignore it. Whereas Starship Troopers ends like a propaganda film as commentary on how propaganda works.
unlabelledView post →Was watching the United game with @maiaknp.bsky.social sitting in the room and the ad came on at halftime and she literally said “what in the Starship Troopers?!?”
unlabelledView post →Well that Starship Troopers game sure does give off "We have Helldivers at home" energy.
unlabelledView post →I'm pretty sick of seeing her creepy, Starship Troopers ass commercial every time I'm watching YouTube or a damn game.
unlabelledView post →that's why I like Helldivers 2 a lot, because it is just "Starship Troopers: The Game" but it is very tongue-in-cheek and paints its totalitarian society as an excess of American militarism (take a shot every time someone says "liberty" and you will die" or even Gears of War, which explicitly-
unlabelledView post →We found the Beast of Caerbannog, complete with bloodied mouth, carrying the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch on it's back!!! This game is a JOY. The references & easter eggs are glorious. (We also unlocked a Starship Troopers one). Many laughs. Lots of fun. Well done @gogotowngame.com 🖤11/10 no notes
unlabelledView post →The game is literally and blatantly based off Starship Troopers movie and book, as well as ARMOR which is also, based off starship troopers. Seriously, it's starship troopers.
unlabelledView post →It's kinda hilarious in a way that Helldivers 2 seems to have managed to be a much better Starship Troopers game than the actual Starship Troopers game that came out last year.
