So i earn the minimum wage and i cant afford most game because they usually cost around 24-27% of the money i earn, i usually buy stuff on sale because i like to 100% games on steam (even tho ppl say its worthless) i kinda wanted to play death stranding 2 but then again it costs around 25% of my wage that could be going to important things. i'm torn between spending this money on a game or just saving for basic needs. is pirating games on this scenario the best course of action?

  • Don't play AAA games unless you are a streamer.
    • The reason AAA games are expensive is because they know the majority of people interested will just watch a streamer play it, so the streamer is effectively buying the same for several users.
  • Focus on indie games that are either sandboxes (infinite playtime potential) or have high skill ceilings (speedrunner games like Celeste or Bombun)

If you want to pirate you can, but it sounds like your issue is you're buying AAA games as someone that doesn't monetize playing said 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.

Sentiment was brewing for a long time. It also didn't begin with the Quinn post, it simply coalesced around it.
It wasn't monolithic. To reduce it to "it was a harassment campaign" is to expose myopia.

>As someone who was actually in the thick of it at the time

Doubtful. Also realise that many of us here were there. Some were even organizationally involved, like BO!

>>46680
Yeah, you had to be a rube or gullible to expect any real manifestation. In the end all of it got overtaken by material forces.

>>46686
I didn't side step anything, I asked for clarification as I «did not know». As for hbomberguy: I was thinking of a different post which most certainly still is deleted. Good he kept this one up though, shame he removed the one explicitly addressing zionism.

>liberals have aged like wine

The ones chanting "4 more years" while the genocide was in progress? The ones currently supporting zionism? The ones who are even now bending to power? Who weren't even capable of realising their modest cultural project?

No.

I kind of wonder how the main cadre of gamergate is going to react when mainstream chuds jump on the GTA 6 hate wagon because you can commit crimes in those games

Bikini Armor is something of a staple of chud discourse and many gamers will refuse to play games that don't feature it, but at this point it is something that future game devs predicting a pro-chud vibe shift will include in their games. Especially games being developed in 2024 where chuddery was at it's most potent. Yet somehow I still think that bikini armor propaganda will still be a potent force in future politics now that even centrist men will berate you for not having hoes in bikini armor.
I frankly think it has a place in games, but only where it really makes sense and I might as well get some male cheese cake as well

Bikini armour is stupid. Games should have aesthetically pleasing and creative sexual elements, not bikini armour which as a concept smells of overweight 40 year olds.

>>46526
You actually make a good point. I hadn't considered fantasy camp.

>>46532
Well, if we're talking camp fantasy, the men were always intended to be hot. The difference is that what makes a hot man and what makes a hot woman are different things. Of course, bikini armor works well on women to make them hot because to serves to show off their figure (not to mention a lot of skin) which is key to making a hot girl outfit. With guys, it's different. I would argue that the "hot guy" is almost always portrayed fully clothed, with their clothing designed to say something about them. So, the typical camp fantasy "hot guy" wears a full set of armor that covers their entire body, but that armor is designed to look in a way that implies strength, ruggedness, power, authority, danger, virtue, or whatever else the character might have going on, but never, ever wears a helmet of any kind to hide his handsome face and has long, flowing hair that is either shoulder-length or flows down his shoulders and on to his chest. What's more, the armor is typically made to imply a muscular build underneath.

speak for yourself, i want guys that look like he-man

Men both irl and in video games need to dress sluttier.

So is house telvanni SUPPOSED to resemble israel/israeli culture?

They’re a group of supremacists (largely but not necessarily ethnic supremacists, since any race can join but their ranks are mostly dark elves), they keep slaves, and a lot of their buildings are named “tel __” (tel aviv?)

>>46711
Yes, also dark elves were persecuted and genocided elsewhere. Obvious parallel



 

Will there still be a class system in RPG videogames after the revolution destroys capitalism?

I think classless is the better option for tabletop rpgs and single player videogames but class systems do add a lot to multiplayer coop. It also depends on how the class system is done. I like how FFV and FFT do them.

Bump.

>>39445
Yeah, obviously people will have talent or preferences for one way of doing things in general but you won't be locked into one 'class'

I like the way zangband's "realms of magic" (http://www.thangorodrim.net/zangband/docs/magic.html) act as specializations for wizards, clerics and hybrid classes. While Death and Chaos are mostly pure destruction and Life restoration, Sorcery, Nature and Trump mix in a lot of utility and flavor.

>>40798
There will be neither. Communism is a classless society, no we are not keeping your 'scientific' classes, they will be liquidated just like every other class.

Are you excited about anything game's related lately?
games, mods, etc.

2026-2027 as long as it hasn't been released and it's keeping you on your toes you can post it here.
body isn't too short nor empty

>>46244

personally i'm really hyped for Onimusha Way of The Sword because Onimusha was the game i was introduced to videogames with – and Skyblivion so i can do catgirl slave runs in Cyrodiil :3

Archolos: Chronicles of Myrtana has a major 2.0 update in development. No release date yes, but it does seem like it could be sometime this year.

Elden Ring Tarnished edition is what I am waiting for before starting a full playthough.

>>46244
>excited for anything?
no, but at some point I'll play GTAVI, nioh3, the new onimusha, and the other games I never got around to playing. as I'm getting older I've found myself increasingly disenfranchised with video games, they just don't appeal to me as much anymore, and I gravitate towards games from my youth, including those I've never played before, so that's where I'll spend most my gaming time, on emulators.

Not really, the last time I got excited over a new release was elden ring and shadow of the erdtree and i knew in the back of my head that it was the last time i would feel excitement about new releases in general

objectively false
the last real minecraft version was beta 1.7.3 but alpha 1.1.2_01 is best

>>46681
it was a game made to be sold either way, i think it's more about the people and what you do anon, can't have no fun in a world full of corposlop

quadrilions must play

>>46682
It makes it unfair and easy win as long as you rubberband your internet to lag on purpose, I do admit it feels better against mobs tho instead of the jumping axe meme

the anticheat does not seem to like fake lag
it also doesnt seem to do much in pvp it feels like, i tried it

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.

They tried to say it's because Capon is underage by historical facts even though he's clearly not actually underage even in the first game

>>46590
Though I do think it would have been more interesting if they had actually had a realistic portrayal of him as a 15 year old but that's a different argument

>>46584
He did attack it. He claimed that it was objectifying the main character.

>>46522
4chan generally isn't class conscious and has political compass brain so you're really not gonna get any coherent point of view

>>46631
That's not even an attack you gameroid.
