It’s been a few weeks since we saw inexplicably famous white nationalist Richard Spencer punched in the face and the world has only gotten stranger. Luckily, games are an excellent outlet to explore the world around us. Handväska! is a silly response to the rise of modern fascism and it’s this week’s Indie Pick.
Handväska! was made as part of the 2017 Global Game Jam. It was inspired by the 1985 photo of Danuta Danielsson swatting a Nordic Reich supporter in the head with her purse. Danielsson was a Polish Jew whose mother died in a concentration camp during World War Two. It’s a serious source of inspiration considering Handväska’s comedic tone.
The game is simple enough. Line yourself up and charge towards a blocky group of fascists. With enough speed and a powerful swat of your purse, you’ll send them tumbling into the air in a dazzling display. It’s a game that you play in bursts, a sort of digital stress ball for the current, dire zeitgeist.
It’s definitely healthy to use games as an escape from the world from time to time. To enter into a less political sphere where you slay demons, kiss aliens, or cruise the countryside. Handväska! leans in the other direction, wearing politics on its sleeve and turning real anxieties into a cartoonish but cathartic experience.
Even small gestures like this help express how powerful games can be for confronting dangerous realities. Handväska! is silly, and brash. It’s a reminder to find some humour in the day to day messiness around us and a great example of how politics don’t always have to be depressing.

can you retards stay on the topic of the game? if not, then fuck off

>I need a click bait tier """"""""""game"""""""""" to vent my frustration because I can't actually cause someone intentional harm.
It's because of shit like this that no one with actual power takes these people fucking seriously.
Hudson Watson
If the models were actually good (not uninspired lego trash) and had good physics, along with satisfying impacts, this could be a fun concept of a game. Just yank out the political bullshit and make something cool. Like Titanfall 2 would have been a perfectly acceptable game if you had no weapons and just punched everything.
No dodge or blocking mechanics or needless fluffy to make the game feel complex, only running and punching and keeping the killstreak going without getting punched back

A bit politicised. Might be decent gameplay if you could make it less political.
Luis Foster
When will people stop falling for the game "journalism" meme?
Sebastian Turner
what was that game that Sup Forumstard made where you ending up killing niggers and mudslimes
Christian Parker
First it was MRAs, then the Alt-Right, and now they're going for fascists. What's going to be the next buzzword for "people that disagree with me"?
Tyler Gomez
>literal who boring indie game that 10 people will buy at most yawnn
Luke Diaz
Yeah thats cool.
Whats the mod scene like? Is there one where can make all the nazis into plae men with long noses and funny hats? Just think it would be funny, haha.
Eli Sanders
Calm down, dude, it was just a prank
Robert Gutierrez
>game ''journalist'' indie pick is a game thats worse in everything than some kongregate games from 2008
Kevin Nelson
i'd rather turbo leftists vent their violent urges via video games than actually punching people IRL
p.s. all the punchers are getting arrested and sued in court, the lugenpresse doesn't cover that ofc but it's still happening just like how the london riot-looters in 2011 all ended up in jail.
play stupid games win stupid prizes
Carter Bailey
Yeah it's pretty stupid to expect liberals to want to live next to the people they import:
tl;dr Samantha Bee, liberal "comedian" doesn't want her kids going to school with niggers. Sad!

Carson Peterson
So once we ignore the political bullshit and get into the actual gameplay mechanics, what do we have?
It's just a game where you run into and knock over Lego men in funny black uniforms? Seriously? That's it?

that's because liberals have never really been 100% honest about their pro-tolerance movements
they want refugees and minorities to move into white neighborhoods sure, but they want them in republican-voting white neighborhoods so districts turn blue and also as a means of punishing conservatives whom they all see as white hood wearing clan members. they don't really want to live beside them because they know there will be sharp increases in petty crime as well as a spike in sexual violence.
EU leftists are basically the same, they even brag about how they're bringing down "fascism" by taking in massive numbers of syrians (even though there is no legitimate fascist entity in all of europe)
if you ever want to see the truth about liberal "tolerance" just find a minority (black/hispanic/etc) that disagrees with them and watch the reaction. suddenly the treasured token black american is a house nigger (they also throw around the term race traitor which I think is ironic)

How is Sup Forums reconciling Trump having multiple Jewish bankers on staff and immediately cutting regulations on banks and wall street while issuing support for Israel?

Socialist complaining about facists. And they aren't rioting in North Korea, just America. What a goofy time.

One is a video game, the other is a faggot trying to make a statement. You can decide which is which.

The theme this year was 'waves' how the fuck does this fit in with waves? I participated I just like made game. Had a good time, can't wait for next year's
Brayden Flores
>implying Sup Forums are republican partisans
They propped up a candidate that was rejected by the entire Republican establishment, and neocons like McCain are still trying to undermine him.
>Donald Trump is a Jew-loving zionist being controlled by anti-semitic white supremacist Bannon and is enacting literal JEWISH GENOCIDE by opposing Israeli agenda in Syria but is sucking Jew cock by opposing Iran and the Houthi rebels but is also a white nationalist and is opposed by over 90% of Jewish voters and basically every Jewish lobbyist because the Jews are just so smart but he is controlled by Jews
-Summation of democratic partisan hysteria since the election outcome-
>b-but maybe if I call the evil racist a Jew he will feel conflicted for supporting drumpf!
Luis Anderson
they could move to iran or saudi arabia and riot about islamofascism but then they would all be in jail for the rest of their life or executed (with the potential result of those countries becoming more democratic)
but instead they choose slacktivism which accomplishes fuck-all except making everyone hate them
Oliver Rogers
That game looks like it's simple enough that it would take moments to change the people you're attacking into anything.
Mod where you attack jews?
Ryan Davis
They're both video games dipshit, if you think there's nothing political about the recent wolfenstein games, or the WWII CoDs, or almost any WWII game then why can't you play as the Nazis?
Bentley Scott

Angel Ramirez
you don't even need a mod, that game looks like it took all of 1 day to make in unity
go follow a few tutorials and make your holocaust simulator a reality
Matthew Johnson
I don't know, how do libcucks reconcile being progressive while also being anti-semitic? How do they reconcile sucking Muslim cock every day while worshiping Feminism as well? How do they not just kill themselves en-masse to end "the white problem" even faster?
Jayden Collins
I don't like games where you shoot nazis, but I don't play them.
Too few games that let you play as a nazi.

Red Orchestra. Remember to aim for Ivan's head. There is a HUGE difference between a game having political undertones and a game that is literally some faggot's upset response to their political candidate losing a presidential election. Don't tell me you're so underage you cannot understand this?

Where?
They are not talking about Trump are they?
Do these people not understand words?

Sup Forums prioritizes trolling high and mighty liberals over eradicating oven dodgers. Letting shekelgrubbers grub a bit longer so more lefty tears can be extracted is a fair trade.

Chase Anderson
wasn't alt-right just gays that didn't want to be associated with modern liberalism, so they looked to the dying right to try to find a niche? (where the traditional right still hated them because they were fudge packers and religious fanatics don't want fudge packers near them or the fudge packing skeletons in their own closets might be found)

I said "almost any" so you wouldn't have to provide an example because it was implicit I meant from a narrative perspective, but you went and did it anyway gj, Tales of Valor there's another for you.

You should've learned by now liberals don't actually care what happens in poor countries. They're more concerned with letting their period blood run down their leg than they are with female circumcision
