this girl needs to work on her pronunciation, but I liked the probably unintentional asmr on my left side cuz her audio was fucked. anyway, yeah, man. internet drama. fucking VIDEO GAMES FRIEND VIDEO GAMES.

fans of "lite edgy" creators always think they're cool stoic guys who are above all drama but devolve into the exact kind of whiny caricature they despise when said creators get criticized

>>47516
Yeah, the video isn't great but it was the only one I saw that wasn't full of the same edgelord shit and kiwifarms comment section endlessly parroting

>woke mind virus
<mentally unwell
>complaining about playing video games for a living
<lolcows
>schizoid
<troll's remorse

Etc etc.

It's pretty crazy because in listening to the actual stream, Dingdong pegs them immediately in his description about people callously blowing off reports of abuse, mistreatment, or exploitation at places like Activision because when you get right down to it, they want that activity to just continue.

Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

why is this shit even on the video games board lmao dingdong is a psychotic freak that barely puts up the pretense of streaming games for a few minutes only to ramble endlessly about people he made up in his head. moviebob levels of terminally online schizophrenia

a charitable interpretation of the dd and julian drama is that they likely have some valid complaints, but their personal echo chamber has made them paranoid and they exaggerate things that are mostly nothingburgers. oneys style of edgy humor exists in this grey area where they dont condone awful shit, but will happily joke about it because pushing boundaries (without overdoing it) has always produced great comedy and its never that deep or serious. you can tell by their tone if you arent autistic or socially maladjusted

>>47516
the whole drama is more targeted at chuds who made smiling friends their latest FOTM rather than the creators tbh. just more culture war and outdated woke 1.0 slop when 2026 is the year of woke 2.0

ngl this reads like you feel the need to have an opinion on anything and just heard about this shit yesterday from some random video essays

Archie is a mixed big, the general consensus is that the comic was mostly shit until Ian Flynn picked up the pencil, and there's more diehard fans who think the comic went to shit when Ian Flynn picked up the pencil. I however thing that Archie, just like the games, is a mixed bag throughout. There's good Penders/Bollers stories and there's bad Flynn stories, but there's also good Flynn stories and shitty Penders/Bollers stories. Though lumping Pneders and Bollers is unfair because Bollers is a better writter and person than Penders. Fleetway clears Archie, though.

That group combined with the laziness of modern sonic twitter is going to kill what creativity this fandom had. I can already feel the autism venting out of sonic spaces as more and more normalfag cattle wander in now that it's "cool" to like sonic again.

I might be going schizo but I feel like we're getting less and less fangames and projects as the years go by.

>>47500
Sonic has one of the worst examples of consumerist hype culture I've seen.

People will get overly defensive because it's "the new thing to consume" and "atleast isn't (Poorly recieved thing)" but the moment the hype dies down and people are allowed to criticize it more, they'll suddenly wonder why they're "switching up on it".

It never happens in any other franchise. Star Wars fans will despise anything new regardless of it's quality and Pokemon fans will eat up anything new regardless of how awful it is, but atleast they remain comparatively static.

It also doesn't help how normgroids will dismiss any meaningful discussion of aesthetics, storytelling or game designs as "Sonic fans being autistic". r/SonictheHedgejerk being one example of corporate slavery.

>environmentalism as the root of sonic's subtextual political leanings
ok, I can see why you'd think that. sonic and tails, two natural beings of the known world, who are one with nature, attempt to stop a mad scientist from harnessing the power of chaos to assume world domination, subjugation of the entirety of the planet and its living beings through industrialization for his own selfish ends.

however, this is not much different from the basic premise of super mario, which was: a lone supplicant of the crown takes it upon himself to save the kidnapped monarch of the realm from the forces of an imperialistic warlord who would see her as his wife-slave for the sake of encroaching upon the supposedly harmonious kingdom, that has absolutely no problems, social or economical or territorial or otherwise.

in the end, that's a lot of subtext to infer for what amounts to nothing more than tom and jerry, looney tunes type shit. sonic is the roadrunner to robotnik's wiley e. coyote; mario is a masculine power fantasy at his core, that of the braggadocious male who gets the girl in the end by defeating the bad guy, much like the premises of ninja gaiden, shinobi, double dragon, and a slew of other games whose protagonists set out on a haphazard quest to save their wives or girlfriends, and almost entirely divorced from political commentary or underpinnings beyond the assertion and affirmation of gender roles and tropes.

I just think people have a propensity to weave a tapestry of assumptions, that lead from conclusions they've drawn about any given source material, which are more a reflection of themselves than the material in question.

>>47504
I still believe Sonic's themes were far more intentional, while yes, he was made to be a corporate mascot, the games still had a lot of real artistry to them, CD being the best example of this, being a game about how technology is only as good or bad as we choose make it, all conveyed through gameplay, visuals and music, referring to the superior Japanese OST of course.

Subtle things like how this struggle for harnessing the power of chaos to assume world domination is something that's been happening long before Sonic and Eggman were alive and has ruined entire civilizations (through the Echidnas in SA1), or how the goverment is allowed to get away with literally anything through sheer power (GUN in Sonic Adventure 2) make Sonic as an artpiece a lot closer to something more thoughtful like The Lorax than Mario's simple escapist fairy tale shenanigans or the male power fantasies of the 80's, let alone just "Looney Tunes sillyness that's suddenly edgy because reasons" like normies wrongly assume the franchise to be at first glance.

Majikoi is the only time I got upset that a VN wasn't more gooner lonely guy bait than it actually was. So many great and unique girls in that series but most of the routes aren't all that romantic.

Rain World has the best gameplay out of any video game ever made

Depends on what you want to play. But overall, it doesn't matter much what you decide to play next. What matters is whether you're capable of developing appreciation of games. As Matthew Matosis nicely put recently, some games are harder to enjoy than others, and that doesn't mean they're less fun, just that you need a different frame of mind and expectations when approaching them. You might need context and outside information as well.

>Timesplitters
I played Timesplitters 2 when it came out and I have no idea why people like it. Very arcady mid-tier shooter.
Let me remind you that in the same year came Battlefield 1942, Morrowind and Hitman 2, so it wasnt a technical issue. Some damn good games came out that year and Timesplitters 2 is just bleh.

piracy HAS to work because it's not only a means of obtaining stuff, it's literally a means of archival. clamping down piracy worries me more than digital distribution ever will, because that means losing access to shitton of movies, video games and music IP holders have 0 interest in distributing in my country

This shit is so annoying!
I have no idea how anyone can be a capitalist in 2026

>>47359
at the end of the day all games are 1s and 0s so as long as nerds have the time and energy to decompile and/or crack games, they cannot be gatekept. As long as we have access to portable storage devices, we can share media, even if it has to go offline.

>>47363
a capitalist is a person who owns means of production and exploits workers. people like being capitalist because it makes them a lot of money. a capitalist is not simply a worker who "believes capitalism is the best system". that's called false consciousness.

>caring about physical media
This is childish discourse. DRM is what should be talked about. For fucking decades physical releases have meant jack shit. So many physical games require online authentification and in today's age with the normalizing of half-ass releases and "redemption-arcs" so many games on release will be updated coutless time, having a physical 1.0 copy just doesn't make much sense unless publishers just want to make some extra coin off collectionists via fomo.

Crack a final version of a game to make it drm free, put it on a disk or portable drive. There you go, physical media. Hell, for a little extra money pay someone on etsy to make you a replica or custom box/case. The outcry for physical media is the outcry for corporate handholding. We don't need the corpos to enjoy games.

also better for resources. When you dig out a base you receive resources. When you build up a base you lose resources.

I wish minecraft villagers were more interesting and autonomous life dwarf fortress dwarves. I wish they built their own structures, sought to fulfill their own needs, etc.

>>47409
unfortunately minecraft is entirely built around the player and their whims. Nothing is allowed to interfere with the way player subjugates the world to their will, that seems to the modern mojang game philosophy and even though players criticise them for this. It’s obvious that people don’t like it when creepers or endermans mess with their builds.

>>47441
if I weren't retarded I would make a minetest mod that works the way I want

>>41450
that 2nd pic makes it look really cool. I remember having a really big village that I spawned into after coming out of a nether portal that I built inside the nether. I built a giant brick wall around the village and terraformed it to be flat. I destroyed the houses and forced the villagers into underground barracks and we did barracks market socialism. I built a giant market square in the middle of the walled in field where their work blocks were so they could specialize in different stuff. Then I would sell them crops I picked from the fields and fill the chests with a public fund of emeralds that I would occasionally dig into to buy weapons and armor and crossbows from them.

If you want undetected atleast for matchmaking you'll need paid probably try aimware or inuria

how about you learn to play the fucking game like anyone who isn't a waste of oxygen?

idk but probably you will find it on cs.rin.ru

>>47494
don't be mean and anyway hacking is cool in cs since it ruins competitiveness which is good.

In all seriousness, what is the point? If you dont enjoy the game, why bother playing? Or if you want to dominate with odds heavily stacked in your favour, play against bots.

GIVE ME A COUNTER-STRIKE WITH NO COUNTER-STRIKE!

i remastered my M1912 originally meant to update my mod:

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/94026

but unfortunately the modder behind the framework i was using for the mod, has a lot of drama going on with some other chuds Xilandro and Hitman and they make compatibility with his weapon framework mod impossible for the stupidest reasons.

so i thought of porting it into PAYDAY 2, but it just got updated to the new 64bit engine

so we're gonna have to wait to see this anywhere because i'm also going through like trans menopause and i literally feel like i'm dying so.

>I want to use a very light-weight LLM to provide very short but organic dialogue about the context they're in, such as the objects around them, what the player is doing and so forth.
maybe you could combine normal-ass decision trees with LLMs, i think a good approach to experiment with would be to procedurally assemble prompts, and then pass them to a tiny LLM and show the result to the player. it's basically dialog trees with extra steps, but maybe there's something cool there i dunno.

btw you wouldn't be the first to bundle an AI gen model, inzoi has stable diffusion built in to make custom assets. the results are horrible shit but it's there. dummies are trying to cancel inzoi for this for some reason

>>47471
>for some reason
>the results are horrible shit
sounds like a good reason

>>47473
ok i said "for some reason" but actually they are not mad at the lousy output but because they thought the stable diffusion model was an inhouse inzoi model and not, uh, stable diffusion, and they thought that was "more ethical". it is actually just a useless feature.

damn i wish i cared about small sized youtube channel's quixotic crusade against whatever entertainment medium they feel has slighted their dumb politics, unfortunately i need to watch the vinny vinesauce weird cat games video instead because it's at the top of my frontpage

1) your brain is as poisoned by culture war as the guy who made this video
2) /v/tards are moved by nothing but spite for whoever they perceive to be the "normies" and will come up with any reason to hate anything associated with them. their words are insincere hot air and do not need any attention
