this is just to say, sonic, being a marketable company mascot, it's not its own entity. it's always been a figure designed by council, emerging from the zeitgeist like some swamp creature. sonic was an environmentalist because it was cool at the time, and he became an enemy/collaborator of a literal deep state because in 2001 the american mind had melted after 9/11. now sonic persists in its eternal twilight, past its intended demise, vacillating between imaginary sexual object for the absolutely deranged, and nostalgia bait. it is what it is.

Sonic nazis know their favorite franchise is woke and they hate it. Just like UT/DR (Chuddy Fox copers) nazis or even TADC nazis (Trans Jax deniers). They hate the fact they enjoy something woke and they hate themselves for it, so they actively try to deny the franchise is woke and gaslight everyone into ignoring it's themes. That's why we have people in that Sonic Would Love Us group formed by people like Krack, Richard "Diaper Boy" Kuta, Psyco the Coon or the Homophobe duo (AwesomeTime and PurpDerp) harrassing and stalking every LGBT person in the fandom while playing the victim card, when they get called out for it, only to resort to shittier tactics than any of the people they claim are "attacking" them. It's clear just calling them out doesn't work because it just ends with good people getting doxxed and harrassed. If we really want to keep the fandom clean we need to make them shit their pants. Just saying.

Archie is a mixed big, the general consensus is that the comic was mostly shit until Ian Flynn picked up the pencil, and there's more diehard fans who think the comic went to shit when Ian Flynn picked up the pencil. I however thing that Archie, just like the games, is a mixed bag throughout. There's good Penders/Bollers stories and there's bad Flynn stories, but there's also good Flynn stories and shitty Penders/Bollers stories. Though lumping Pneders and Bollers is unfair because Bollers is a better writter and person than Penders. Fleetway clears Archie, though.

That group combined with the laziness of modern sonic twitter is going to kill what creativity this fandom had. I can already feel the autism venting out of sonic spaces as more and more normalfag cattle wander in now that it's "cool" to like sonic again.

I might be going schizo but I feel like we're getting less and less fangames and projects as the years go by.

Sonic has one of the worst examples of consumerist hype culture I've seen.

People will get overly defensive because it's "the new thing to consume" and "atleast isn't (Poorly recieved thing)" but the moment the hype dies down and people are allowed to criticize it more, they'll suddenly wonder why they're "switching up on it".

It never happens in any other franchise. Star Wars fans will despise anything new regardless of it's quality and Pokemon fans will eat up anything new regardless of how awful it is, but atleast they remain comparatively static.

It also doesn't help how normgroids will dismiss any meaningful discussion of aesthetics, storytelling or game designs as "Sonic fans being autistic". r/SonictheHedgejerk being one example of corporate slavery.

bump of interest

just a heads up i'm banned from "tiny kitty's girl pound" for making rape jokes.

i think we should just make a steam group and hop into anything because like…

lag and shit

>>47490
Can you make a steam gc and link it here?

piracy HAS to work because it's not only a means of obtaining stuff, it's literally a means of archival. clamping down piracy worries me more than digital distribution ever will, because that means losing access to shitton of movies, video games and music IP holders have 0 interest in distributing in my country

This shit is so annoying!
I have no idea how anyone can be a capitalist in 2026

>>47359
at the end of the day all games are 1s and 0s so as long as nerds have the time and energy to decompile and/or crack games, they cannot be gatekept. As long as we have access to portable storage devices, we can share media, even if it has to go offline.

>>47363
a capitalist is a person who owns means of production and exploits workers. people like being capitalist because it makes them a lot of money. a capitalist is not simply a worker who "believes capitalism is the best system". that's called false consciousness.

>caring about physical media
This is childish discourse. DRM is what should be talked about. For fucking decades physical releases have meant jack shit. So many physical games require online authentification and in today's age with the normalizing of half-ass releases and "redemption-arcs" so many games on release will be updated coutless time, having a physical 1.0 copy just doesn't make much sense unless publishers just want to make some extra coin off collectionists via fomo.

Crack a final version of a game to make it drm free, put it on a disk or portable drive. There you go, physical media. Hell, for a little extra money pay someone on etsy to make you a replica or custom box/case. The outcry for physical media is the outcry for corporate handholding. We don't need the corpos to enjoy games.

also better for resources. When you dig out a base you receive resources. When you build up a base you lose resources.

I wish minecraft villagers were more interesting and autonomous life dwarf fortress dwarves. I wish they built their own structures, sought to fulfill their own needs, etc.

>>47409
unfortunately minecraft is entirely built around the player and their whims. Nothing is allowed to interfere with the way player subjugates the world to their will, that seems to the modern mojang game philosophy and even though players criticise them for this. It’s obvious that people don’t like it when creepers or endermans mess with their builds.

>>47441
if I weren't retarded I would make a minetest mod that works the way I want

>>41450
that 2nd pic makes it look really cool. I remember having a really big village that I spawned into after coming out of a nether portal that I built inside the nether. I built a giant brick wall around the village and terraformed it to be flat. I destroyed the houses and forced the villagers into underground barracks and we did barracks market socialism. I built a giant market square in the middle of the walled in field where their work blocks were so they could specialize in different stuff. Then I would sell them crops I picked from the fields and fill the chests with a public fund of emeralds that I would occasionally dig into to buy weapons and armor and crossbows from them.

If you want undetected atleast for matchmaking you'll need paid probably try aimware or inuria

how about you learn to play the fucking game like anyone who isn't a waste of oxygen?

idk but probably you will find it on cs.rin.ru

>>47494
don't be mean and anyway hacking is cool in cs since it ruins competitiveness which is good.

In all seriousness, what is the point? If you dont enjoy the game, why bother playing? Or if you want to dominate with odds heavily stacked in your favour, play against bots.

I've tried reading some x-men comics but couldn't get over Cyclops' bulge and magick's ass. Shit is distracting

i remastered my M1912 originally meant to update my mod:

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/94026

but unfortunately the modder behind the framework i was using for the mod, has a lot of drama going on with some other chuds Xilandro and Hitman and they make compatibility with his weapon framework mod impossible for the stupidest reasons.

so i thought of porting it into PAYDAY 2, but it just got updated to the new 64bit engine

so we're gonna have to wait to see this anywhere because i'm also going through like trans menopause and i literally feel like i'm dying so.

>I want to use a very light-weight LLM to provide very short but organic dialogue about the context they're in, such as the objects around them, what the player is doing and so forth.
maybe you could combine normal-ass decision trees with LLMs, i think a good approach to experiment with would be to procedurally assemble prompts, and then pass them to a tiny LLM and show the result to the player. it's basically dialog trees with extra steps, but maybe there's something cool there i dunno.

btw you wouldn't be the first to bundle an AI gen model, inzoi has stable diffusion built in to make custom assets. the results are horrible shit but it's there. dummies are trying to cancel inzoi for this for some reason

>>47471
>for some reason
>the results are horrible shit
sounds like a good reason

>>47473
ok i said "for some reason" but actually they are not mad at the lousy output but because they thought the stable diffusion model was an inhouse inzoi model and not, uh, stable diffusion, and they thought that was "more ethical". it is actually just a useless feature.

damn i wish i cared about small sized youtube channel's quixotic crusade against whatever entertainment medium they feel has slighted their dumb politics, unfortunately i need to watch the vinny vinesauce weird cat games video instead because it's at the top of my frontpage

1) your brain is as poisoned by culture war as the guy who made this video
2) /v/tards are moved by nothing but spite for whoever they perceive to be the "normies" and will come up with any reason to hate anything associated with them. their words are insincere hot air and do not need any attention

Morality is a spook or something.

i dont think they have crippling debt, if it's anything like the US military they were probably pretty posh to begin with: since piloting has a high barrier of entry, then pilots are usually people who come from well-off families who can afford to dedicate themselves to the entire process. so it is kind of an "art-imitates-life" thing – fox withdrew from corneria's army and even convinced slippy to do so as well, to start his own career in the private market, which is kind of what happens in the US: fighter jet pilots are extremely scarce because they often leave for PMCs or commercial airlines (which strained the US bombing operations in iran). this scarcity seems to be the case for corneria's army as well, since general pepper is desperate to fill in the ranks with extremely expensive mercenaries. if anything fox is a ruthless businessman, deliberately mooching off corneria's army after receiving training from them, and then double dipping by charging them for the favor of filling in corneria's ranks, fully knowing that corneria's defense army is lacking in fighter pilots. if pepper wasn't an imbecile, he would lock his ass up and then make it punishable to defect from the army.
