Every game is a Psyop

I didn't say "Stop noticing things." I said "Stop overthinking things." Analogies are not a historical materialist analysis of a work. Noticing that dragons guard treasures in fairytales is not overthinking. It's stating a fact.

Okay but how does the plot of Spyro directly translate into "foreigners bad?" Aren't people supposed to seperate reality and fiction? And how can one come to the conclusion that white Americans are literally dragons from Spyro? And what about the intent of the authors and their actual political beliefs?

Take Zetsubou-sensei as an example. People on /anime/ thought it was very leftist. But then BLAM! The author is a nettouyo. Who would have thought? You can never be certain what goes on in a person's mind with so little data on hand.

Well is there an indie that gets the gameplay aspect about the same without falling into similar habits? Might be a neat project if not yet.

The single biggest mistake this asshole made was immortalizing himself with the powers of chaos. By taking chaos, he immortalized the corruption of the warp. Every intelligent species is doomed because of this asshole. Human or not, every fucking organism in the galaxy has a valid reason to hate this motherfucker and want his empire raised to the ground.
Immortalizing chaos prevents any faction from ever making the galaxy safe even with the introduction of blackstone devices. All sentinent beings are now doomed to have their souls trapped forever in the warp upon death, and face eternal torment by chaos during their life. It’s not like big E wasn’t warned about his actions causing the eradication of all life in the galaxy. People fucking told him repeatedly that there would be a galactic civil war followed by galaxy-scale omnicide if he kept pushing for the web way project. The fucker also doomed any chance of humanity’s potential growth away from the abomination that it is in his endless imperial wars. It doesn’t matter if Guilliman overcomes era indomitus. Now the entirety of the galaxy is genuinely doomed to never get better, and it’s all this asshole’s fault.

Hard and solid proof of what, that battletech stole its designs? The early battlemech designs were literally completely stolen from Dougram, Macross and Votoms, and the later redesigns barely change them. You could just spend 20 seconds googling this. Every reply you make you show yourself as this overly agressive idiot speaking with confidence about things you don't know anything about. You're the cliche of the /v/edditor.

And by the way the reason I hate battlemech designs is because of how ugly they are, not because they're stolen. They are an affront to mechanical design. The universe is one of the most boring and cliche things ever, like oh my god its interstellar feudalism wow a galaxy in total war, wow there are baddies coming back from the fringes! What is it trying to say? What are the themes? What makes this different from any other thing? Boring, trite, ugly shit. The only reason people like it is because this was all there was in America up until recently. I have infinitely more respect for Warhammer fans since at least their universe is unique and there are some cool part to it.

>>38232
The concept is neofeudalism, and how all things must divide and come to an end eventually. I really like the lore, that everyone lives in the shadows of the great empire of the past.

>>38231
At least I'm not a sentimental bloatbag who cries foul at the first sign of resistance.
>Every reply you make you show yourself as this overly agressive idiot speaking with confidence about things you don't know anything about.
That's rich coming from someone who has so readily demonstrated they lack both acumen and experience. Likewise, your examples are pallid: conform, or straight homage. You are clouded by your opinion which you lord over this thread as if it is self-evident fact. The cliche of the clueless shutin who is afraid of what they do not know and instead dwell in their petty fantasies. Fuck you.
You had to the good sense to not contest your patently incorrect use of "enshittification". Stick to that.

I don't care about 'enshittification'! It was a throwaway word. Are you legitimately retarded, or is this just what going on /v/ too much does to the brain? And oh my god, you're really denying that battletech has stolen designs? This is something battletech fans themselves talk about all the time! You are so stupid that I am suprised your caretaker allows you on the internet. The first post you made was the most edgy tryhard shit ever, saying I should 'play more games and develop real taste, jesus fucking christ'. Oh and I'm the bad guy now and I'm being a 'sentimental bloatbag' when you're the one aggroing on people? Get over yourself you self entitled piece of shit, take your anger management meds or go back to 4chan.

I don't like cozy games or games that are to aesthetically "cute". I'd rather spend my time on a game where I can be a cool military soldier (even if the genre sometimes could be propagandistic). Or anything with a power fantasy in it like Doom or Elder Scrolls. My kind of escapism is typically action oriented, and this stuff just doesn't fit me or my self perception. Stuff that's realistic is more for me.

I can see the appeal of relaxing games though.

What do you think

>>38185
I don’t like power fantasies or utopian escapist games. I do enjoy action oriented games like you said. However, I find more grounded and realistic games to be much more enjoyable. Games like arma, insurgency-lites, and RTS games are what I find fun. Power creep isn’t fun without limits.

I don't have much of an opinion on the action vs comfy dichotomy, but I really prefer games that put more emphasis on game mechanics and emergent gameplay over scripted/narrative content. A lot of it feels like pushing the medium more toward movies or TV and ignoring what makes it unique.

Bring back early 2010s’ piss filter and gritty semi realism!

>>38185
I don't understand the point in those kinds of games. You know anyone can start planting things for not a whole lot of money, either wait for an alotment or just start planting in an unused bit of dirt. In general I think art should be passionate, and Stardew Valley just did not make me feel anything (and I especially didn't care for the NPCs). Comfy art rejects conflict (dialectics) and just has everything going fine. That's not to say you can't or shouldn't have art that is comfy but that is different from comfy fantasy or these comfy simulator games, there is Comfy-Art and Comfy. I hate Stardew Valley and all these other ones because they are nothing games, they are games for people who don't actually want to engage in the medium.

Yes but more in the watching lps than playing.

Nah, both because I was using it to cope with more stressful things when I was lonely, and now that I have friends and am no longer in middleschool/highschool I have a more healthy relations with gaming as an art:

Well it distracts me from it. Also give me something stimulating to do, I like to think of myself as a smart person, but Im stuck in a menial job, so video games are the only opportunity I have to actually use my intellect.

What a dissapointment. I love Gris, it is one of my favourite games to this day. It made me cry just by art and sound. This is nothing like Gris. It's a boring action game about… a dog? I don't know what it's meant to be about. Nothing in this game affected me emotionally. Oh wow the dog grows up and then dies, who'd have seen that coming when the game is set in four seasons and the dog is growing up really fast over the year. The evil virus humans make no sense, what are they meant to represent? Industrialism? Covid? I have never cared less for a dog in a video game, and I am speaking as someone who does not care about dogs in video games or in real life. It is just mediocre art, not saying it shouldn't exist just that its bad and I hate how everyone seems to love it. These games are always extremely popular. Make one about a rabbit and then maybe I'll care.

Did you play the jackastral flash games/VNs on newgrounds back in the day? His most popular series is dead detention, a scribbly, 2010s humor zombie apocalypse parody. Many of his games deal with loss and depression, taking place in the same wider universe. While this might be my nostalgia talking, i think they are compelling in style and often very comfy despite the subject matter.

Gris is shallow slop. Play more games and develop some taste, jesus fucking christ

>>38072
I don't know what games you think are not slop if you think Gris is slop, it was an indie passion project. It deeply affected me with just its presesentation and gameplay.

West vs East is a false dichotomy (I play games from any country), the more important question one should ask is indie vs AAA since American AAA is too big to fail nowadays. And obviously just don't play games you don't like. Yes, even indies indulge in idpol. Then how about playing something else?

>>38063
I mean yeah obviously, play what you like, but the wider industry trends definitely lead to less good games being made

>>38067
>but the wider industry trends definitely lead to less good games being made
I don't see how the wider industry trends are relevant in any way to the indie scene. This applies to games, comics, music, animation, journalism, you name it. The indie scene has all the benefits of old pop culture without the modern pop culture's drawbacks. I think that the mainstream is simply too mainstream nowadays, it relies too much on pandering and past formulas.

>>38078
Half of 'indie' nowadays is just endless titles chasing after some AAA. Look how many Civ ripoffs there are now for example, yet not one of them is actually better or really worth playing.

>>37879
Nice ass cheek video, OP.
