Hmmmm… Interesting question… It's really hard to tell since I want an advanced-enough level of magic/tech without living in They Live, 1984, The Matrix, The Terminator or Starship Troopers. Maybe Phantasy Star or Ratchet & Clank? Shantae's Sequin Land is fine too but its level of magitech is roughly comparable to a mix of ancient Persian and modern-day technology (it has the Internet and anime apparently). Classic Mega Man I'm not so sure, with all those rogue robots running around. But I'll leave it as an option. Definitely not Mega Man X, it's just MGS all over again.

Imagine dying from getting drowned by Perfect Chaos in Sonic Adventure.

>Ratchet & Clank

good choice

>>33528
Ironically I didn't even play it, it's just the only safe sci-fi setting I could remember. Which isn't saying much. Jak & Daxter seems to be closer to Mad Max which is cool if you're a badass and sucks if you're a civillian.

Wait, there's EVE Online! That's it!
>Sci-fi? Check.
>Wormholes? Check.
>Multiple factions and guilds? Check.
>Safe-ish regions? Check.

The only drawback is that it's very overwhelming, you have to have a cheatsheet of all the stuff.

I'll join the pirates and die in battle for Mother Anarchy.

>>33533
I dunno man, EVE seems to me to be populated entirely by the worst people in the world.

>>33538
You join a guild, the guild protects you. Your guild is your bros.

It's funny how people refuse to move to Matrix because of mandatory registration while the IRC and imageboards are still alive and well. Maybe the registration requirement is the tool of monopolization and should be rejected in favor of better moderation practices.

>>33475
I've yet to succeed in registering an account on any Matrix server. I have no idea why it's so difficult. I'm tempted to set up my own server, but running prosody for XMPP for me and my friends is already a bit of work

Speaking of Doom, the icup thread mentions Doom as a possible venue for inter-board rivalry: https://8chan.moe/icup/res/5.html
surely rendering one of the Alunya 3D models to sprites shouldn't be too hard?

>that's going to become a thing isn't it. to try and lure kids into become nazis
Here's a screenshot of a group I found before their Twitter account got suspended

>>33436
It already has. Why else are there those sigma male and vaporwave edits? They look cool and fun so the kids obviously take the bait. "Oh, what's this cool zig-zaggy sun symbol? I want a T-shirt with than one!"

>>33440
>We must secure a future for the existence of our skibidi children.
No.

Sometimes rate my avatar is filled with nazis lol that put racist christchurch memes or unironic "humans are not equal" spartanist anti-communists and roblox does nothing.
I reported someone unironically named ""NIG14TND88GER"" and his account still is alive. Same thing with church, those games moderations directly allow that and roblox also.
Got harassed and constantly attacked/killed by some racist "watch europa the last battle" players in a dark RP game for forming a communist party as also a muslim person there.

Kinda surprised roblox is still going. You'd think something open source would've overtaken it. Like, those kids aren't tech illiterate, they're a community about making games; coding fairly large Lua programs, making 3D assets, ect…
Every time I hear about Roblox it's either a controversy of platform mismanagement or someone made a cool game in it like Become Fumo or Skibidi Tower Defense.

I guess one way to do it would be to do a Fedi instance about JanusXR rooms? Maybe fork JXR to add a more intuitive avatar system like what VRChat, NeosVR, and I don't remember what that other one was where you could move the sun around in the default lobby.

I and o are both right next to each other on western keyboards. Most likely some random ass typo

They are one of the sciest enemys to fight in the game though

Just walk behind them while they try and fail to sit on you repeatedly

Welcome back editor guy.

Breakdown 2003 on original xbox. Very realistic for its time. No modern game is like it. A shooting and hand to hand fighting game. Tons of moves and combos. Good adventure and it's hard. Half life 2 ripped it off. Schizophrenic timetraveling sci-fi plot

>>33059
Breakdown was hard as shit.

I'm speaking into a tin can with a string.

Thinly veiled retsupurae thread?
Who here thinks there's still a market for making fun of cringe youtubers? Any channels currently taking up that mantle of riffing on big/med size gaming youtubers?

Ah sweet, kiddieslop thread

The island has fallen…

Desperately trying to grow the male age 40-59 demographic with this pandering to video games that came out 25 years ago

>>33286
I think it's more Konami trying to spark some interest in the franchise they killed in preparation for delta or whatever the fucking remake of Snake eater is called.

Based nuclear hellfire enjoyer.

The Fallout series definitely exists in a state of contradiction.

The story cannot continue to add value/be fun by simply signposting 50s conservatism's nostalgia for a non-functional self-destructive system. It must propose a better system and display the enemies of that improvement, their motives and tactics to subvert progress.

I think it would be interesting to see a USA based but Euro/Russia/China focused Fallout where their investment in renewables has permitted faster re-devlopment desired by all but at a cost of the people's sovereign right to be gangers and slavers. It could be 'domestic' east/west USA as well but the 'outsider' function is necessary. While more developed in tech and breadth than the NCR to provide a point of tension, some boxer rebellion type religious loonies still Wuxia it up in their mountains but these cannot support the kind of population and prosperity as the main bodies of society.

The principal tension should be between an NCR that actively loathes the idea of solar panel installation(etc) and 'chinese'/ 'yankee' aide regardless of if Euros or Yankees install it. Seeing a scramble by the liberal NCR to reinvigorate racism into law just to preserve it's hierarchy among it's puppet states would be great to see. World Tensions don't have to have the magic red/green/blue button to shut off the last nuke Mass Effect ending. There should be the option of actual overthrow of NCR leadership, a reform leader willing to invest and resolve the Class tensions with real substantive concessions unacceptable to the NCR royalty, and the fuck it we're just Chinese slaves burbling about the good old days like the Enclave bad ending. I can't believe we lost the war twice due to the same greed of the same minority of 'wealthy' people unwilling to share their wealth with their own people. War never changes.

Little red book fragments with actual Mao quotes would be great.
>"no investigation, no right to speak!" should be the first quote you find.

Side quests to 'Green Beret' East coast/Chinese right wing loonies into becoming BinLadens on NCR's dime would also be cool for the reactionary path.

>>33265
Re-upping without transparency.

In 1998 the, 'everybody I don't like is a race' crowd was still pushing the whole, "Whites can't live here cuz Imma bigot' laws.

Covenants, like red-lining were laws to prevent the sale of real estate to 'certain people' in perpetuity even long after the death of the original owner. They have largely been ruled to be bigoted bullshit.

>>32951
>Hierarchy is good
How does the boot taste, pseudo-scientist?
>>33263
>What's wrong with feminism?
Gender essentialism and anti-individualism mostly. Feminism always views a woman as a female, not as a person. Feminist theories can turn into a dogmatic, zealotted worldview where people are reduced to simple stereotypes that do not apply to all men and women.

Basically, feminism shouldn't be your foundational belief. It rather should be a mere side-efect of your worldview like individualism say. If every individual deserves freedom then excluding women is hypocrisy. Same with Marxism actually: if you don't hold, say, science as more important than Marxism then how can Marxism remain scientific? That is the question.

The translation is poor. There aren't many errors, but you can tell it was made by ESL's. It got way too annoying for me.

>>31741
Seems to play out like a modern version of Die By The Sword.
Janky fun :D

>>31796
Exanima is similar

Got any recommendations for RPG games heavy on NPC interactions? Im fine even if that interaction is mostly violent, as long as it is contextualized (i.e. faction A sends you to take out faction B), rather than just crawling thought dungeons beating throngs of mooks. You know, something like Bloodlines, Fallout 2, Planescape, that sort of vibe.

>>31741
lol I love how jank the inverse kinematics are

These actors are now capitalists. They suck from dead labor

>>33074
Burger "unions", not even once..The culture industry ones I heard even got bosses and shit, cannot expect much from them in particular but backstabbing their own members.

>>33076
In the light of recent writers' guild and actor strikes, the film industry is now going in the direction of reducing labour force by any means necessary and unnecessary. My guess is that Replica in spite of its claims of being an "ethical" company will rob their donors of ability to get a job by the virtue of claiming exclusive ownership of their voices while paying them dimes, all the while the company and those purchasing their services will be getting most of the profit. Capitalists attempt to turn technology into a scourge against their labour force whenever chance to do so arises.

Probably they know trying to keep AAA from drinking the koolaid is a pointless endeavor, so now indies / maybe AA gain even more traction.

Using an AI voice to replace an actor is basically saying "the performance doesn't matter, just that you can recognize the voice." You can't give direction to an AI to read the line a certain way. But there are filters that exist that can take an existing voice clip and "convert" it to sound like another voice. This is probably what they're going to be doing, finding (non-union) voice actors to actually give the performance, and then filtering the recording to sound like a famous voice.

That said, if you actually read the article, it sounds like the point of this is to put protections in place to stop companies from copying someone's voice without their permission and denying them the opportunity to do the voice work themselves.

Worth noting here is that the SAG part of SAG-AFTRA is not a voice actor union. It's the Screen Actors' Guild. AFTRA is the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, which historically has covered voice acting. This move is to the benefit of celebrity screen actors and the detriment of voice actors, and is a further development in the tensions between those fields (and within the merged SAG-AFTRA union). Since Shrek came out pretty much there's been a big move to replace voice actors with celebrities for marketing purposes, so a lot of voice actors are big mad about losing work to be replaced with something that's usually noticeably worse.

>In the light of recent writers' guild and actor strikes, the film industry is now going in the direction of reducing labour force by any means necessary and unnecessary.
We are seeing large scale layoffs in a lot of industries right now tbf.

>>33079
Yeah this is also a sign of the bad state of AAA games and likely to cause more drop in quality.

Good stuff.
