Does leftypol play minecraft? I have no friends and wanted to start a new lan world

I was looking at some games for reference, and I found Silent Hill f. One thing that stunned me was how bad the game is designed.

The dialogue is bland and boring. Character lines reveal nothing and the conversation is horribly tense for no reason. The characters are young but nothing about them suggests that. It's like they are middle-aged people going through midlife crisis.

The animations are silly. Enemies react far later after being struck and their movement is repetitive. The atmosphere is horrible too. They used too much fog and darkness and blurring, they actually removed details from the game and because of that it looks monochromatic terrible blend.

Hinako has plot armor. Just when she meets her first monster, she conveniently finds a steel pipe right beside her feet to attack it with. There's a lot of reading for instructions in the game.

And the story is junk. Sakuko never said anything about wanting to live in a candy store instead of a shrine. In fact, she dies early in the game very quickly and her relationship to Hinako is shown to be negative further reinforcing you shouldn't care about her. But when Hinako finds her dead, a dramatic cutscene plays and where Hinako is sobbing after she moved Sakuko's body into a candy store, and it's there where she says Sakuko always wanted to live in a candy store. Later in the cutscenes, she clenches her fist in anger and says she will keep her promise to Sakuko. But what promise? Did I miss it? I'm sure there was no promise.

The level design its horrible and extremely linear in a strange fashion. I thought games that put roadblocks in your way to keep to the map are dead but in this one, there's a lot of blocked roads.

Overall I'd rate it:
2/5 – story
4/5 – graphics

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.

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

There has been a deluge of games that seem to be what /v/ would call "Woke" that underperform or whatever but there always seems to be something that is woke that does well. I feel like this is just a good way to be stuck in a perpetual samsara where you get excited and deflated over shit that fails and yet I think that it doesn't really even matter that much in the end? Recent AtlasIntel polling has zoomers and even men in general vooting for democrats and in spite of the general haughty attitude from Marxist-Leninists and Anarchists, this does mean that they aren't entirely turned off by arbitrarily "woke" things, because there is some ugly ass people in subnautica 2 and shit but that doesn't seem to have moved the needle much at all in practical politics. Like, I unironically don't even get what the end-game is from anti-woke gamers who want every single woke game to flop from AAA to indie.

Hi, I'm making triple A game. My only question is how to make a triple A without their budget because I'm indie developer and I do everything on my own. I want to make a large sprawling adventure game the likes of which you've never seen; but I'm quickly hitting a roadblock because I want to go all the way in. So I'm writing my own game engine with OpenGL (for mobile) and Vulkan (for other devices) as a renderer. What do you think is the best way to create this large 3D RPG game? Is it feasible? How do I make the big bucks because I think the world owes me making me hyper-rich in the millions and even billions? Are all of this a waste of my time?

Don't tell me please to make small games like strardew valley, limbo, or hollow knight because we all know those games are extremely trash and playing them for too long will give you autism from how whimsical and out of touch with reality they are. The colors in them are either hippy acid junk or dull monochromatic depressing blend. They are also silly with their character movements and interaction because they are in 2D space. Everyone knows the superior option is 3D because it has larger expressive range unlike those trash 2D games everyone tries to trick you into playing. I still say it to this day. 2D games are a scourge in the game world. The better alternative is a full transition into a 3D environment and the serious contemplation of adapting hyper-dimension (such as 4D and even 16D) into gaming world. 2D games are holding us back from evolving and becoming better and smarter. So don't tell me don't make the witcher 3 clone. Because you're opinion is instantly worthless and silly.

Plus, how could I argue the world owes me millions and even billions when I'm making 2D stupid games like trash hollow knight and stardew valley and Limbo. I especially hate Limbo. If I was developer of Limbo I'd hide myself in a hole in the ground and never show my face to humanity.

i've been autistically obsessed with american truck simulator recently. never liked driving/racing games but gave it a shot and it's so cozy and nice, it's like a little roadtrip simulator, what do y'all think about it?

i thought it was probably not as bad as its reputation, but it's even worse than its reputation. it's a literal virtual crack house
