What do you think about the word "gamer"? What do you think about people who calls themselves "gamers"? And do you consider yourself one?

>>47597
I don't play games anymore unless its re4 og

I'm too busy making my own project

I mean you can call someone that reads books a reader, but being a reader isn't seen as in-of-itself an identity like people seem to treat being a gamer as.

I'm only a gamer in-so-far as I play videogames regularly (in bursts but those bursts come pretty consistently) and enjoy seeing them made and played by others, but It's something that only applies to me while I'm engaging with the medium directly / semi-directly.

>>47597
>people
What class are they? What mode of production has produced their atomized social relations and their rejection of class consciousness?
> do you consider yourself one?
There's nothing wrong with being a consumer, but gamers believe in the virtue ethics of consumption as if they are fine craftsmen. They are proud of being the best at sitting inside all day and being a seething degenerate like Asmongold or Hasan. Their belief in "getting good" at games like Dark Souls reflects the neoliberal imperative to "make rational choices so you don't die homeless in the street by failing to jump through the hoops of the healthcare industry". The ideal capitalist subject

>>47600
Readers in that sense are called bookworms.

>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.

Found this upcoming game called Hypernet explorer. Don’t know where else to put it.

>Very arcady mid-tier shooter.
High tier arcady shooter. Time splitters 2 was and still is peak.
>>47514
It’s true

>>47506
Just play Doom 1 and 2 and a few custom campaigns you won't want to play any other FPS games again.



 

We should organize a date and time where we all hop on a game for a couple of hours. I know how to run TF2 servers and have experience running one. If there's anybody who is more confident in running a tf2 server, then be our guest.
<MAGGOT SPACING
We should also discuss gamerules (allow crits? don't allow crits? add this plugin? dont add this plugin? etc,etcetc)
<MAGGOT SPACING
If this thread gets enough interest with multiple anons wanting to participate then it's a deal. AND WE SHOULD MAKE THE MOST OF IT!
<MAGGOT SPACING

My proposed dates for when this could happen:
07/25 - 18:30 EDT (UTC-4)
07/26 - 18:40 EDT (UTC-4)

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.

What's the best VN girlfriend simulator for a total incel chud?

Anyone still playing the game? For me swiftplay kinda saved it. Only fun mode to play right now, wish they would just return twisted treeline.
What champs and modes do you guys prefer?

Anyway, alk about the game

I'm tapping out and squatting here in case I'm just boosted by the LP changes (likely).

It's pretty fun. When they add old volibear I'll play a lot more

Too realistic for the time period

>>47538
Suprised they changed core game so much it would warrant existance of classic mode.

lol is bourgeois and dota is proletarian and the fact that there isn't a dotag tells you everything you need to know about this place

physical media is based
PS2 was the peak of gaming
praying someone vibe codes a new PS2 dev kit
im just saying man during the lockdown era me and my roommate had a PS4, PS3, and PS2 and we spent more time playing local multiplayer games on the PS2 than anything else

>>47557
PS2 was a great console, to be sure, but that doesn't really have anything to do with physical media; it was because the PS2 had a huge catalog of diverse and quality games from a variety of different devs. I mean, just off the top of my head, it had
>okami
>god of war 1,2
>sly cooper
>mgs 2,3
>gta vc, sa
>shinobi, nightshade
>silent hill 2,3
>resident evil 4, code veronica
>katamari damacy
>ace combat 4, 5, 0
>final fantasy X, X-2, XI, XII
and dozens of others, PLUS it was backwards compatible with the PS1, so it was like having two consoles in one.

MGS Aside does Splinter Cell critique anything on the right, yeah I know tom clancy blah blah, but I thought it's funny because Chaos Theory is directed by a Socialist and the first game by a Liberal which I find ironic

Chaos Theory and MGS3 proably my two favorite stealth games

In Double Agent you can betray the U.S. government, and I think in later Splinter Cells Fisher gets betrayed by the government. Chaos Theory and earlier Splinter Cell plots were very run of the mill post 2001 patriotism iirc.

I fucking loved these games.
Also introduced me to the Schizovolumes of Tm Clancley. Peak.
I liked the first one and the one with the prison and shooting your boss.

Baffled by the positive reception of chapter 5.
(Almost) nothing of note happened. Dialogue was cringeworthy. Jokes were more misses than hits. References for references sake. Flat characters incorporated as round characters. Waaay too long.
Seen some buzz around this or that being unexpected, but something being unexpected is not itself a good thing. The secret boss seems a good example of this (regardless of the character or fight itself).

What do chapter 5 enjoyers see what I am missing?

>>47281
>saw this image in a certain 4chan thread
wait wtf are the threads more connected than i thought

I enjoyed chapter 5 and thought Flowery was very cool

>>47529
im still enjoying deltarune itself but my biggest criticism is that toby fox overcorrects and panders to the fanbase way too often instead of doing his own thing. fandom culture is where art goes to die

how so? i dont keep up with the fandom much at all
all i know is that apparently gaster is a green clean pirate and has teamed up with a protein loving horde of cats in search of the delta rune, or something

>Get musicians and working actors with zero voice acting experience to voice your game
>end up with what's widely considered the best voice-acted game in history.

really makes you think

>>47423
Oh no I forgot to mention but the problem isn't even actors, most of the time it's the actual dubbing process with the direction of the acting, now that's the real amateur hour

>>47438
From what I heard lots of dubs in the past were done with no direction whatsoever, voice actor would just be given their lines and told to read them into the microphone.

>>47439
That is why the quality of the dubbing could vary widely, for instance you could end up with a group of unemployed actors from North Carolina dubbing your anime.

>>47437
Modern voice actors are closer to the SCABs, as they literally work for peanuts in exchange for 'exposure' while unionized actors are sidelined simply because it is cheaper to hire YouTubers and e-celebs.

scabs are a problem but they are a side effect of the reserve army of labor



 

Good news there's more fuel for the internet culture wars shit as oneyplays defenders are melting down over former cohosts dingdong and julian have revealed just how unpleasant the experience working with oneyplays was, and all these kiwifarms orbiters shit and piss their pants about it.

>>47515
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.

>>47522
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.

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

>>47522
>>47526
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
