>The ongoing narrative for Defense of the Ancients is that a series of amateur content creators with limited programming experience and few financial resources created a Warcraft III map that was not only better than Warcraft III, but surpassed the collective efforts of a billion-dollar videogame industry and its world-class game creators. A story that should set off red flags in the mind of any reasonable person has become a rallying cry for transformative change in the world of videogames.
&lthurr only BIG COMPANIES can make good games

interesting read, thanks

This article was made during the height of the Obama spectacle, when neoliberalism wasn't even questioned and the alt-right was merely an egg.

>>3889
This is a pretty good read. Partly because my friends have been playing dota during lockdown and I didn't enjoy playing it much.

>>3889
So badly written and meandering I couldn't power through it, though there were some interesting points in the parts I read. Shame because I was looking forward to some insights.

>>6031
are there any good guides (maybe in video format) for this game i have some troubles getting started

>>6088
The problem was heating. I don't remember the specifics but it was either a lack of coal, a lack of workers, or both. Basically everyone froze to death.

There are some YouTube channels linked form the main site at least:

In my most recent game I went immediately for setting up a petroleum industry. Exporting fuel and bitumen by train is very profitable, at least in the 60's. I invested all of the initial 1M₽ and $1M in setting it up, had 1.5M₽ in profit one year later. Set up a chemical and a plastic plant, then electronic components. I think I'll build an electronics assembly factory next, and start exporting electronics. I just need to figure out how to load a train car with the things. Rail warehouse doesn't seem to work for electronic components at least.

I tried it a bit back and it felt too unfinished. I’ve been watching it but it still seems a bit too crusty for me to seriously get into it yet.

It needs something to do. Like you get production goals from Komintern or something. Global events are in the pipeline, so maybe we'll see a geopolitics mechanism.

I like what I've played, but I'm waiting for a campaign or some kind of challenges.

I literally have ADHD and I find this fucking stupid.

Multitasking is bourgeois degeneracy.

>>6328
I'm sorry you feel that way?

>>6329
v_v

I just like to keep occupied. Obviously when the game is heavily story-driven or etc I would just focus on that.

>>6319
hoping it also delivers non-lethal but still painful shocks every time you get hit, with strength proportional to the damage

I really believe we should just make a communist party for the eu and take over it, didn't have much of a problem with it so far.

I would rather not be stuck with browser games.

I want something a little more involved than a low effort Skinner box that is designed to suck money out of my wallet.

Well there is no reason why browser-games ought to be low effort, but if you want to install software locally, then you need to improve the software development tools to the extend that normies can modify software. As in have in-game-code-editing with program-logic-visualisation, as well as coding-aids that have a high level of idiot proofing.

they could tax those trades much like they allready do with the community market. this could just serve as an extension to that community market.

You know when you bump ancient threads by contributing nothing meaningful, it doesn't actually make people want to re-engage with them.

I guess this is the fallout general now

I am playing a heavily modded version of Fallout:DUST after a fun playthrough of the successor prequel mod on Fallout 4 (confusing, I know) in Fallout:FROST. Doing an NCR deserter, and he has gone from a (fairly) badass looking trooper to having his own custom (and slightly defaced) ranger armor.

>>5879
Tbh given everything we see of the minutemen there’s a near 100% chance that the intent was for the MM to be LARPers of the original Minutemen of the Revolutionary War.
The first place we meet them is literally a broken down memorial to the war…

>>6029
well there would not really be a revolutionary war to fight, unless they would want to rewrite the institute from what they did in Fallout 3 or rewrite the BoS to be psuedo-Redcoats (which would both be retarded, and early concept art shows a lot of the BoS and Minutememes fighting together, so it would have probably been the institute if anything). I think the Minutemen as a title was more just a way to reinforce how the remains of the US still has enough ideological sway to influence how the post-war people feel about themselves and identify by, in the same way the New California Republic is. In fact really the only factions to ever really form a unique identity largely divergent from the ideas of America are the Followers of the Apocalypse and the BoS (and also Caesar's Legion but they copied Rome so it doesn't count).

>>6026
Not the comrade you're replying to but the based realpolitik chaos ending is helping the NCR at first. Seeing how the NCR deals with dissidents. The counterattack on the prison, the treatment of westside, war crimes against the Khans etc and then honoring the truce with the Legion once you hit the strip. Go see what Caesar has to say, fix their howitzer and leave once you upgrade the robots. He'll ask you to kill House. Humor him and leave to grab Boone. Come back to the fort, go in guns blazing a kill Caesar. Go back to the Strip and kill House anyways to lowkey install Yes Man. Help the NCR after to an extent. Peacefully resolve tensions in Freeside. We don't need more good proles dead over diplomatic bullshit. Lie to Moore and get the Omertas the best chlorine caps can buy. Get them to resume business with Mick to get illegal weapons flowing into the Strip. When the time comes they'll fuck up the closet cannibals, the bossless Chairmen and the NCR embassy in one swoop. At this point the NCR glowies will tell you to dispose of the BoS but that's up to you. You can have them for an alliance but it dissolves. Enclave? They're remnants so up to you who they support. At this point foil the Legion's assassination attempt on Kimball and then kill him yourself. Congratulations you are a anarchist, communist and a traitor to the western states of the wasteland. The Kings are likely to defend inner Vegas and the wannabe mobster Omertas are pushovers with the people's robotic muscle. Useful idiots, drug addicts and statists are no match for a handloaded .45-70. The only friends you can trust in the Mojave is a big iron and the cigarette on your lip.

I'm playing Fallout 4 for the first time now and it's kinda dull. Hate the talking protagonist.

>>5408
it's got a super good setting and fun little touches, but gameplay can be super underwhelming and it always feels super janky down to its very bones.
also it's >not free
so it's really hard for me to recommend it to anyone.

thanks mods for finally moving this thread
anyone still hesitant about Caves of Qud should see this review on it

if this won't sell you on it, its probably not a game you would like.

what is the DF tileset in OP?

>>5973
That's the one being made for the steam version of the game.

new guide for starting up in CDDA in the default start

Is it? I found Skyrim ridiculously easy and brainless.

On that note of the game crashing, what is the most unstable game you've ever played, /games/?
It's probably KotoR 2 for me:
Every door loading screen in the first city (the terraforming station) has a 40% chance to crash you.
Every cinematic (which get scaled down to like 200x400p) has a 50% chance to crash you.
Every time you use space travel its like 90% chance to crash you.

Also KotoR 1 also deserves a shout out, as the string of different cinematics after Bastila bossfight each have a huge fucking chance to crash, meaning you have to do the boss 10 times.

>>6206
Actually, now that I think about it, it was that bad on Windows 7. I dread to think what it would be like on 10.

Morrowind isn't particularly difficult, it's just you. I could play through it without problems and I'm legit retarded when it comes to games that aren't turnbased.

Oblivion was comfy

The game or the /v/ guy's comment?

>>5399
The /v/ guy's comment. I have not played the game, but I like the art style.

>>5400
>The /v/ guy's comment.
>I have not played the game
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ Redundant information. Actually I haven't played it either.

The game puts a lot of effort into trying to show the Socio-Economic factors that play into the characters Micro level personal problems (May's Parents chimping out because they were relying on her becoming a PMC white collar to save their house from getting foreclosed / Beatrice having to wageslave basically for free at their own parents business because their mom got wrecked by US healthcare and so on / The Boomers sacrificing children to Molech because they miss the 1950s / Angus and Gregg's whole Arc revolving around their desire to leave hickville USA NOT because of Homophobia or whatever but because they realise there will literally be no livelyhood there once the last of the small business gets obliterated)

Now "Is it EssJayDubya shit" well…In some parts
But not nearly to the degree that people on /v/ / /vg/ make it out to be.
When Angus and Gregg were introduced as being gay i was also at first like "OMG Game fucking ruined just what i heard about he we go…" But No there is basically no pandering to the fact that the characters are gay outside of jokes and so on

>TL;DR
Very decent play if you like walking simulator / VN style games
Decent messaging but everything does contain an EssJayDubya "twinge" in some way

It makes /v/ermin seethe and it's good on its own too.

Looking at things close to your face damages eyes? My grandma knew this back in 1940.

lmaoing at everyone who fell for the vr meme

Probably same shit for electronic viewfinders on digital cameras, but it's not as intense and constant.

LMAO imagine SAO-players waking up from their shit to have literal blindness

They spy on you AND they ruin your eyes.
