Any and all gaming projects, be they full game releases or some dudes personal mod, will be hounded by JAQing off about how communism is actually bad. There’s a real smugness to it, too. Like, “whao guys I know you’re having fun over here but we’re all on the same page that stalin murdered my grandparents with a giant spoon, right??”
we fully atomized now son, don’t got no social spaces free of the ever present pressures of modern economic system. can’t even sit down to play a game or read a book without wondering if you’re wasting valuable money-making time.
i have been keenly aware of how passionless and directionless i’ve been since i was a teenager. used to think I was just depressed but it took me a long time to realize the system is letting me down, and i shouldn’t be expected to change my very human wants and needs to conform to the soul crushing market-driven system we’re cursed in
Nothing gets me more ‘oh great commie forefathers we have failed you’ than seeing old soviet propaganda about uplifting and empowering women. I geniuenly believe we still need that to this day and absolutely loathe the placification of feminism under liberal ideologies
they’re cool hacker guys who exist outside of hegemonic ideology. they’re after the big guys, real cyber robin hood types. so anyway that’s why they wanted to bully poorer nation :)
dudes bragging like the DoD are so impressed and ‘want to know how he did it,’ mf I’m sure if the US wanted to they could bully their internet as well, probably a good reason they didn’t want to though
they made zelda woke 😞
is this praxis?
i used to be addicted to pop culture and to an extent probably still am
no one got through to me by curbing my pop culture addiction. i needed the gnawing, numb emptiness inside of me to grow beyond the joy a rebooted IP gave me. only then did i start caring about actually important shit
If you join an official public server, there’s an extremely high chance you’ll join with cheater bots that spawn endless, aimbotting snipers. It’s less of a problem on community servers as they’re actively moderated by players, but official servers have to rely on vote kicking a fresh cheater bot every few minutes.
This is all done by some script kiddy group who apparently want to highlight Valve’s deprecated support. Basically ruin the game until Valve fixes the game. There’s also some measure of farming ingame item drops to sell for money, I think.
Honestly, I don’t believe save TF2 will get anywhere. Valve is clearly uninterested in supporting the game, and who could fault them? It’s an old game, and games don’t need to be supported just because people play them.
The real problem Valve is playing with is that TF2 is still monetized. They should not be selling microtransactions for a game this broken. If they weren’t selling microtransactions, they would be entirely in their right to kill all official support and leave the game to community servers.
My main concern is that Valve will calculate this over the bad PR they’re receiving, and rather than do anything to curb the bot problem, simply kill their support for TF2. I would be okay with this. I think most people wanting to #SaveTF2 won’t be.
our universities are full of WOKE CULTURAL MARXISTS who want to OVERTHROW AMERICA, and that’s why petulant whining about minor protests groups get absolutely raked over the coals at every university you can imagine!
Haha, that’s good stuff. I guess selling horribly overpriced bears to parents isn’t a sustainable model, so gag gifts are the next best thing.
Yes, your Build-a-Bear™ Zaddy© shirt makes me want to change my bear into it’s You Turn Me On© shirt.
This is a really neat video idea, actually, and it’s throwing me for a loop that a time period I remember very well (post new vegas release, grabbing all the early mods) is now presented as sort of a lost history with enough content someone can produce a video on it.
ouch boys, you forced police into solidarity with the workers
don’t you know the police were your defense against the workers??
reddit bros whip them up into a fucking frenzy every time these incredibly rare headlines actually make it to their front page, they hoot and holler like chimps because finally they get to push all of the violence women experience to the back of their minds and point like that one wojack picture at some messed up chick and go “see! they do it as much as men! and it’s even worse because it’ll ruin a mans life!!!”
b-but free form open world design with recognizable landmarks and a glide mechanic for easy travel
all games should be this because one game was fun
This is most powerfully noticed when you open Fallout 76.
Fallout 76 deals with the capitalist critique of Fallout way better than 3 or 4 do. It actually has some decent worldbuilding (not writing) and examines problems like automation and exterminating worker’s strikes.
Then you press escape and hit the ‘Atom Shop’ button, and you’re whisked away to listen to calming store music as you browse endless pages of in-game branded gear, all sold for Fallout 76 funbucks, all sporting the usual trappings of a manipulative in-game store.
Even when the text itself is trying to be earnestly anti-capitalist, you can’t escape the capitalist incentives that drive the entire art project.
To be honest, the intense buttrage over black samurai character feels like a perfect low hanging stereotype from 2016. It’s at once highly amusing and extremely depressing that it’s a real point of discourse over here in 2024.
free game giveaways have no appeal to me when they’re for a game with a bajillion DLC, because I still then have to pirate all of the DLC anyway. shame, because the steam deck did make me preference actually owning games on steam, but I also get a bit irked if I’m not playing the complete package
I can’t stand them either. My partner recently got one of the newer iPhones for free. Obviously we’ve moved her over to it as it’s far nicer than her last one, which was on the way out. Problem is that she hates using it and I hate maintaining it. Doing something as simple as extracting a game save so I can edit it was like pulling teeth.
Thinking of selling it and just getting a new android for her instead.
Yes! They patched it out of the directors cut, though. Personally I think much of the personality of the game was stripped away when we could no longer make Norman Reedus drink three full heart attack potions between each mission.
