/games/ - Games

Not sure if this is the right place, but since this is the gaming tab, I say why not?

Back then, GamerGate was the start of something fresh, something edgy, something that was actually rebellious against both the bourgeois moralisms stifling the internet and the feminist hegemony that no western male could escape from. It was an escape valve, in other words.

But of course, I was wrong as GamerGate later on mestatized into being another wing of the current right-wing hegemonic ChudIntern. Indeed, GamerGate was merely an exercise in online reactionary activism, but we should actually try to analyse it as opposed to dismissing it as chuds being chuds.

It’s won’t give you the kind of analysis that has probably been done to death here, such as the alienation of young men, the rise of white upper-class female idpol and the HR-style managerial culture that preceded online censorship and SJWs’ political correctness, journos forming email groups as part of a coordinated attack on the median gamer, the MSM’s double standards towards female-exclusive spaces vs treating male-only spaces (such as gaming) pathologically, etc…

This is a good summary of the event from a gamergater’s POV: https://wolfsheadonline.com/how-wikipedia-and-molly-white-rewrote-the-history-of-gamergate/

Instead, I’ll say this: The rise of the gooner chuds that you see today is a product of GamerGate, itself being downstream from the left’s rejection of sex-positivity and and pathologisation of any form of assertive male heterosexuality to heed the demands of the feminist bourgeoise that held a stranglehold on the left.

Obviously the online right isn’t really sex-positive as much as being pro-sexual hierarchy and has been the case within the western right since the days of the Nazis and even before then (e.g., Annunzio’s enterprise in Fiume). It’s just that their vision of sexuality makes enough space for male heterosexuality to attract young men (the most revolutionary demographic) into their fold. The left’s response? It’s either dumb Puritanism as shown by puriteens who think Euphoria (that show starring Sydney Sweeney) is rape culture, or bastardised “trad Marxism” about banning porn and prosties cuz muh exploitation even tho Chinese games nowadays are heavily gooned out + the Soviet bloc was lax on non-comPost too long.

Post in this thread every time you play a new game and rate it, I'll start, currently playing Dread Dawn, pretty jank and honestly not that good but I'm desperate for more zombie games to wait until PZ 42 comes out. 6/10.

Why are wizards in video games so lame?

New Gamedev thread. This is thread is only for people who have deved something. Don't post in this thread if you're just an idea bro who has never deved anything in their life.

The engines:
>Unreal
>Unity
>Godot
>Cocos
>etc.

Go pickup one of these engines and start deving. My advice is don't ever get too caught up with reinventing the wheel if your goal is gamedev. Even people who want to "develop their own engine" are using a million frameworks. If you're developing a 3D game, you're going to use a preexisting graphics engine instead of developing one yourself because that would be pointless. You are not going to improve on the graphics engines developed by 1000s of engineers smarter than yourself. It's a lot of advanced trigonometry, I foolishly bought a graphics programming book when I was young and dumb and overly ambitious. There's no point to it.

So basically every game engine works fundamentally in the exact same way. The only difference might be more in the realm of performance handling, but unless you're like a computer genius, that's not even relevant to you. Unreal gives you full access to the source code. If you're so smart you can decipher it and modify it to your heart's content. I recommend real. I'm no programming whiz, but what actually counts:GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING is very intuitive. It's very easy. If you can write out the rules for a board game, you could easily write those same rules out in code. That's how simple and intuitive gameplay programming is.

With the amount of shill threads about Stellar Blade I kept seeing on 4chan /v/ saying it was a "decent action game" I ended up buying it along with some other games for my brother's birthday last year (at great expense as it's a modern video game and all). He never touched it so I finally gave the demo a go myself to see if it was worth the hype.

It was a Sekiro-like. and not even that great a one. It almost seems like it was hyped to shit because it had attractive girls in skintight suits and almost only because of that. I had more fun with Devil's Third of all games.

>Pragmata (Pro-Natalist game) gets rave reviews
We really are in a post woke era. I think it's quite cringe myself but it seems as if the chudsphere has won the culture war I guess. Even if their political figures are becoming more and more hated.

Alright so hi hows everyone doing today, I hope youre doing well. I came here to write a mile-long post bitching about the state of Team Fortress 2, its design, and how commentary around its design has rapidly changed over the past few months.

To introduce people who don't know a shit about TF2; it's basically the game that set in stone the genre of "hero shooter" [Class Shooter] and how it should generally work. Prequels to Team Fortress 2, such as Team Fortress Classic, or Team Fortress [Quake Mod] do exist and show more barebones gameplay, but Team Fortress 2 did the concept so well that it's been solidified as the OG of the genre. The game has been subject to 9 years of pre-release closed-house development [1998 to 2007], 9 years of post-release open-house development in the form of regular updates [2008 to 2017], and then a further 8 going on 9 years of ignorance where there was basically no development and no novel… anything… in the TF2 community [2018 to present].

The biggest implication for (You), random passerby, is that TF2 is a game witha whole bunch of concepts and jargon that are thrown around within the community of TF2 that means something far more specific than what it does outside the TF2 community. For example, when discussing the game's design, "Competitive" is used not just to describe a moment in TF2 where player-versus-player competition is generally increased; be it the Valve-designed mechanic of Dominations [getting 4 kills on a player without said player killing you back, which puts a literal target over your head plus other aesthetics to encourage that player to target you and vice-versa], or the outright existence of organized competitive leagues. In TF2, "Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the rulesets generally used by competitive TF2 leagues. "Valve Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the "competitive TF2 que" that Valve had added in its ill-fated 2016 Meet-Your-Match update. The "Competitive Community" is a semi-existing strata of players who agree that competitive TF2 is good, and its implied at least some of them want "Competitive" to be TF2's main ruleset.

I'm not going to write the whole history, so if you ever have four fucking hours to yourself, I'd recommend watching this video by a local chud of the TF2 community: https://youtu.be/JNxg5stxlhk

Some say that the golden age of gaming was the 80s, 90s or 2000s but I say that the real golden age of gaming was the 2010s during the RPGMaker boom. Sure, it was 2D but it wasn't monetized to fuck with P2W battle pass bullshit or paying $80 (Not counting DLC) for a game you don't even own and can literally be taken from you at any time.

The author of Metro 2033 is a big fat zionist, not surprising as he literally lived in Israel and studied there from 1996 and onwards, another hogwarts boycott incoming?

Is Toby fox petty bourgeoisie/a porky? Genuine question, i mean he doesn’t really own capital aside from the intellectual property right of his games and his team or whatever owns their own means of production, are all indie games just Little Hitlerite Small Businesses™️? Who cares anyway the games are just transhumanistslop at the end of the day
