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

So i dont have much money just the minimum wage, i gotta buy food, meds for both me and my sister and theres a lot of expenses. i like to achievment hunt on steam hence why i buy these games but they're getting more expensive each year. should i just start pirating ? i was thinking of buying red dead redemption remastered but its costly as fuck.

and i kinda wanted to know you guys opinions, is it worthless to 100% (platinum) games on pc since most people just use the achievment unlocker thing?

If a video game character completely broke the fourth wall to look at the camera and say “skibidi toilet” you would see fire emblem fans calling it genius writing and peak comedy.

fellas with deep regrets i inform you i have succumbed to a ragebait
thought these women were recent hire or dei when in fact they been doing skyrim shit for over 20 years, worked on morrowing and oblivion they did. they just look like that not from da woke, but because most dungeon and dragon artsy girls love dressing like that. apologies i wasn't familiar with your game

Game is an indie dystopian future multiplayer game, and has roles: prole, enforcer and terrorist and as a prole you have to work in a laundromat and get rewarded with drugs, as an enforcer you have to occasionally punish thieving/lazy proles and fight terrorists. It has a mid 2000-2010s aesthetic in terms of poly count and texture quality.

I can't remember the name though, I think it had a number like a roman numeral in the title like Dysphoria IV or Delirium IV. When I try to search google or YouTube with various search terms I find unrelated crap and I know I've seen a playthrough on YouTube.

Strive is such an annoying thing to have takes about because if you say that you think May's design is a downgrade because the game is embarrassed by the series aesthetics you'll get a wall of 20 year old trans girls saying it's better because they like hoodies and it's like yeah okay idc. Even complaining about the new shitty mechanics will get people defensive because of the latest culture war!

Genuinely: it must be so fucking exhausting to get this mad over every single game with a gay person. Some of these fascist dudes are willingly not playing some of the greatest games of all time because they hate gay people so much.

of course most /pol/tards side with caser's legion but looking at it almost every single faction is awful one way or the other, The NCR is literally a reboot of America that is in the middle of a manifest destiny, House is a egotistical maniac and probably appeals to Musk bros and Yes man is just a libertarian wet dream

>Gearbox chief Randy Pitchford has responded to a fan who expressed concern about the prospect of paying $80 for Borderlands 4, saying: “if you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen.”
Lol imagine being this fucking delusional about your samey unfunny games that still haven't moved past 2012.
