We can't frag n00bs like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to play matches that don't go anywhere, like the time I joined a 24/7 16k 32vs32 no AWP dust2 server in the community browser, which was how you joined matches in those days. I had replaced all the player skins with Touhou and Vocaloid characters, which was the style at the time. Now to buy guns AND ammunition you had to spend money. "!MONEY" for $16000 you'd say, otherwise you'd be playing catchup with a USP and a knife and no armor while everybody was running around with M4s and AKs.
Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had installed anime girl decal mods on my guns, which was the style at the time. They didn't have in-game weapon skins cause of hostility to microtransactions. The only thing you could do was download mods off gamebanana…

I'll start: I understand and support if Mojang wants the real life animals to teach environmantalism or something, but Dolphin's Grace absolutely dumbfounds me in this context. It incentives the player to swim between 9 and 15 meters of a dolphin, and encourage them to maintain the dolphin's persuit in order to get one of the fastest modes of transportation in the game, especially early game when the player lacks protective equipment.
Polar bears make more sense, they attack if you are within [wiki doesn't specify] meters of a cub. That is their lesson: teach the player not to approch a polar bear cub. This is a good lesson.
They even know IRL dolphins can be dangerous when approached haphazardly, but they balanced out making them cute with having them "steal" the kelp that floats above newly generated ocean ravines. But the whole Dolphin's Grace thing throws that out of wack. I don't get it's inclusion.

is dead rising leftypol approved?

Every day more artists are drawing Chiaki Nanami with a Nintendo Switch instead of a Playstation Vita. They don't get it, they'll never understand the appeal.
Portable gaming hasn't been the same ever since it went from "pocket gaming" to "backpack gaming", the vibe is different.

while modifying skyrims movement behaviour files I discovered something really awful about bethesda titles I thought was only an issue from morrowind to new Vegas. Bethesda doesn’t attach grounded momentum to movement, whenever you walk or sprint in a bethesda made game you will always without a shadow of a doubt always immediately move at full speed on frame one. This is also why the games feel noticeably janky and dated despite having their graphics and animations updated each release and why npc and third person movement tend to feel like you’re controlling a character with absolutely zero weight. Turns out it’s not just Bethesda a lot of game developers for first person titles will pull this same kind of trick aswell here’s some recent examples of this

Dying light 2
Cyberpunk 2077
Modern warfare 2
Ultra kill
Not just that even third person games especially the pvp ones don’t hide this or even try to
Fortnite
The division 2 pvp
Destiny
Literally every 3d MMO
Nearly every assassins creed title has this same issue of weightlessness

This doesn’t sound bad but play any souls game, naughty dog, Bandai rpg, rockstar title or any game with half decent physics and it becomes way more obvious how much better movement in those types of games handle, it’s also why those games feel so much more advanced

Hilariously ironic that big boy games with big boy money chasing after vapid realism and """prestige""" storytelling stumble so hard at being artistic, while a freaky game that would probably cause a second ESRB debacle if found is much better at being artistic.

what are some games with interesting girl characters?

i'm rly bothered by how women in the videogames i've played are all either 9999I.Q girlbosses with no negative qualities (99% of the women in cyberpunk 2077) or le hysterical feminist stereotype (99% of women in grand theft auto). I have yet to see a videogame girl character that's the funny + dumb + lovable character that we identify with

In which we speculate about the rumored new Russian game console. My vision: A weak but also cheap machine (perhaps even cheaper than production by following a strategy of "selling the blades") running games from 10+ years ago with mods adding in Russian language support and some fun extra features and the marketplace is just paying pocket change for these mods and it's all perfectly legal because of copyright reform. If it's cheap enough and the controller feels decent I don't think normal people would mind the hardware being ancient.
