Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Hell On Wheels: I've Been Working on the Fail Road

I'd say 'pass'. I didn't even find it unintentionally funny, but maybe that has to do with the cold I caught.
I just started reading about the civil war in the states too (provoked partly by this show, and realizing that I didn't know as much as I ought to know about the Confederate states), so that doesn't help any.
The most recent episode really doubled down on the "Northerners were the real racists, and a bunch of pussies" ahistorical nonsense that the show has already been laying on pretty thick.
Did you think that Frontier Jesus and his new BFF, The Angriest Magical Negro In The West was a rather jarring example of race relations in post-Civil War America? How about those two characters forming the multiracial Mod Squad with The Indian Who Loves Jesus?
Did you miss those previous monologues where Frontier Jesus is a total Lost Cause asshole to a Northerner, especially those with valid grudges against the Confederacy? How about another monologue about how brave and smart and victorious the Confederate Army was compared to those dumb Yankees?
This is the worst news ever.
SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE!

I don't get it. Is this intended to be satirical and I'm just misunderstanding? Is there is a significant population in the United States who believes this narrative?
There is a significant population in the United States who have no reason to disbelieve in the narrative.
It's on television.
On AMC.
It cost a lot of time and money to make all these authentic sets.
Of course it's believable. It's harder to believe that AMC could spend so much time and effort on a subpar project that fails basic history, writing, drama, and sociology.
We've been watching this wrong the whole time. It's obvious now that this is Deadlands: the Series and the Irish guy is the first Harrowed. I can't wait to see the Magical Negro turn out to be a Huckster, and Colm Meaney use the completed rail line in a ritual to summon the Reckoners!
