I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

>it is that British 80s-90s kind of rightwing artstyle where it revels in the ugliness
>come on the new picture looks way cooler than the old one
That's my point. Nobody normal looks at early 40k art or Judge Dredd or whatever and thinks "hell yeah I wish I was that was me" except rightwing psychos who are missing the joke. They took it from ugly convict legionnaires dying pointlessly on a hill to heroic last stand.

>>45953
>but come on the new picture looks way cooler than the old one.

Nah

>>45953
As I said, I have no nostalgia for early 40k, my first contact with the franchise was Dawn of War. The second image looks AI generated, and I know it is not, but it is the uninspired mass produced generic fantasy/sci-fi art which constitutes bulk of datasets and are the reason why AI images look like that.

>>45977
nta but dawn of war is such a interesting case. In one hand you can tell theres a lot of parody aspects in it. But in the other hand you have characters like sturnn who is not really a parody character.

>>45991
Dawn of War is tonally not going for parody, but a violent saturday morning cartoon. Sturnn is a grizzled old general cliché. Basically Patton in SPAAAACE. His famous heroic speech is about how his men's greatest talent is dying, which I am not sure if it was intended as joke by writers, but still is funny because it is literally true in gameplay, imperial guard infantry is a trash cannon fodder worse than orc boyz. Their most iconic ability is shooting their own troops to regain morale!

Is this a chud game? /v/ is claiming it as their own and it is quite popular and stuff as well. There is a 2016's feminist, a gay pedo and other stuff in the game as well from what I heard on the grapevine. Maybe this is the big chud hit of the decade. Binding of Isaac is also a major christfag game as well

fucking lmao bro, whatever loser circles you lurk on twitter arent real life

pretty funny to double down on acting like a sheltered terminally online moron when asked why you care about shit only sheltered terminally online morons care about, like what the fuck is this whole post even

>>45981
Not "a lot," never been, but enough to be a problem. That "zoomer" and "gooning/gooner" are common parlance means there's a bit of wojak-ness imbued in any conversation those are brought up that people take for granted. There's a bit of /v/ radiation across culture, but that's not "a lot of influence" since that's passive.
>Zoomer men in particular barely care about pedophilia at all so they are still chudmaxxing still
Nah girl, you need to get off twitter. That's not a gen Z thing, that's just a twitter thing.
>>45983
Why do you talk like a Joss Whedon character? Get off twitter.

>>45983
Whatever you say, I base this fact on the popularity of asmongold, nick fuentes and joe rogan.
>>45985
Nah, they have been proven to be an actual gayop by the epstein class but nobody among them still care about that shit because they unironically hate women for not paying attention to them and so they are fine with older men raping them, that is just a fact. Gen Z men are EXTREMELY misogynistic beyond what "He was raised that way" types like Gen X/Boomers were. They unironically want a world where women are obligated to fuck them.

>>45987
>I base this fact on the popularity of asmongold, nick fuentes and joe rogan.
hypothesis*, and not only are all three audiences by a wide gaggle of generations, not just Gen Z, but in proportion to the entirety of Gen Z men their audience is incredibly small and shared between each other.
>Nah, they have been proven to be an actual gayop by the epstein class
Yes, but I'm saying that's passive. /v/-isms leak out into the superstructure through twitter, and that's a problem, but this is an active influence vs. passive internalization / exposure over time thing.
>nobody among them
And let it be emphasized, among them: /v/chuds specifically, not Gen Z as a whole.

The only reason it seems like the entirety of Gen Z to you is because using twitter would instill that impression: you gotta deactivate your twitter (including the NSFW lurking account, speaking from experience) and go touch digital grass and interact with Gen Z people outside of twitter.

>>45981
/v/ only influence is screencaps posted on Twitter and whataboutism like the other anon said, just seeing OP saying /v/ considers it a chud game confirms it.

Mewgenics has LGBTQ themes (Mpreg and non-binary included), makes fun of eugenics and has many people they despise, leftist included. Yes, the creator is pretty much an oldfag of the Newgrounds era that doesn't care about politics at all, but saying this game is a "big chud hit" is a cope.
They aren't parroting the "it's woke" thing only because the game is successful and that would hurt the "go woke go broke" say, which is a cowardice move. But I can't expect any real debate or media literacy from half chan.

Seems we are forgetting our history and where we come from. Taking 4/v/ seriously is a mistake, we along moe/v/ are the last remanents of the real /v/ from 8, don't fall for the Epstein lies.

Fr. His fans are so in denial (charitably assuming they aren't just illiterate) about Toby Fox obviously being a christcuck.

>>45858
My favourite is when people try to shoehorn Toby into the nihilist category.
Maybe burgerpeople have been broken by the constant barrage of evangelism and fundamentalism. Any Christian who appears as anything but a monster is assumed to be something else.

On topic: we'll see where the story and its meanings go. The presence of light of life and flood arc motifs was disappointing, but maybe he'll do something interesting with these Biblical quotes in the coming chapters.

deltarune is a subversion of christianity

Do…do you think I'm arguing for Kris Knight? After I explicitly used it as an example of a debunked theory that people were overconfident in? Or do you think the tweet is post-3&4 (it's not, though the author of the tweet is in fact still a Kris Knighter)?

>You're also so close to a realization with how Noelle is treated by the narrative. Dig a little deeper.

If you think there's some merit in how Noelle is written, just say it instead of implying it's obvious. This is the exact kind of smug attitude that's making the fandom insufferable right now and it needed to die yesterday.



 

I wish there was a Communist fork of Liberal Crime Squad, which is a game created by the Dwarf Fortress guy Tarn Adams way back during the Bush Era which has had multiple forks, but none which change the fundamental liberal pretenses. LCS is basically about building a network of clandestine cells to oppose an Arch-reactionary government, but it is fundamentally framed in terms of US liberal politics, which reveals its contradictions and ideological flaws. Tarn Adams also says he intended it as a GTA-style satire rather than something truly critical of the USA but I don't really believe that. I think he is "hiding his power level" which radlibs tend to do, to the extent that they have a power level at all. Someone made an update in 2024 that can be played in a web browser and posted it to the Dwarf Fortress forums, and while in some senses it updates it culturally from the Bush era, it still is fundamentally based on the same ideological pretenses.

I really wanna get into this but it seems to have a higher learning curve than the OG dwarf fort.

>>42770
booted it up the other day and had no fucking idea what I was doing. Like most agents of anarchy.

>>42574
I was a hardcore conservative back in the early to mid 2000's and this game played a big role in mentally aligning me to the left.
It's satirical to a point, sure, but it nudged me to re-frame how I saw certain issues.

>>42770
nah it really isn't that complicated.

>>43972

>>42574
>lcs is reactionary slop, the game was made by a fascist to mock the opposition to bush,

where's the proofs? obviously the game makes fun of the left a bit but they're clearly portrayed as the good guys overall

Has anyone here played space station 13 or 14?

Its this job simulator where you and about 50 other people try to keep a space station running while it is attacked by various antagonists from traitors, to changlings (which is basically the thing meets parasyte), to of course, revolutionaries which the attached image is describing.

the revolutionaries aren't actually communists, though. It is implied to be a color revolution set up by an enemy coorperation. the collapse of a 'third soviet union' is mentioned in passing in the backstory.

it's not clear how one builds this for Linux or if it's even possible. I guess one can use mono somehow? the documentation only suggests being used by VScode

Opinions on this game? Personally I think it’s a very amazing and well written piece of media

The Pink Valley is a Game Mod for Doom created by "vamvilodon".
You are a nameless man who wakes up one beautiful day, and decides to (maybe) visit his (possible) ex-girlfriend on a whim. What follows is a grim journey akin to Cry of Fear, that goes from bloodcurdlingly real horror, to mindbendingly surreal horror. This is not for the faint of heart.

Never Heard of it. I'll check it out, sounds interesting.

Time to finally learn how to mod doom

Tetris effect

The Old World

Severed Steel is a pretty fun and easy movement shooter I played recently, seems great for drug gaming

In no particular order:

BeamNG.drive - Driving sim with very realistic crash physics and lots of mods. Plenty of way to goof off.

Baldur's Gate 3 - But it can be very complex and overwhelming immediately if you're not familiar with D&D 5E's rule set.

Cruelty Squad - First person shooter with a unique art style

Dave the Diver - Kind of like Motherload meets Diner Dash. Wasn't for me, but many people seem to like it

Dredge - Story-heavy fishing game

Subnautica - Open-world survival, but in the ocean

Embr - Co-op or solo firefighting game
Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

PowerWash Simulator - Pretty self-explanatory. Has surprisingly deep lore buried in the mission descriptions. Very satisfying to play.

Operation Deep Sneed edition

Made a new thread since the other one is full. You know the drill folks, gather here to discuss and/or complain about Hearts of Iron 4 and all the alt history mods that make the game relevant. From green natpops to sicko mode Savinkov we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming in the next Kaiserreich update, one which will make the LKMT look like pre-rework Germany by comparison. But dont worry TNOomers, you're getting some new content too! After a year and a half and three focus trees that only last for four years, we finally have something new and that's…

…three years of fucking Antarctica

i tried as a beginner on hoi4 modding to maybe develop a skeleton tree for amazonas PCdoB brazil, but i feel soo overwhelmed and annoyed by modding on this game and slightly angry i couldnt see a focus tree, tried also CWtools

if you have vscode then hoi4 mod utilities could help with that, has a focus tree visualizer built in

Roman Polanski came to mind. Watching his movies you'd think he's a person with a lot of compassion and empathy for victims of sexual exploitation of any sort. Knowing what he did in life legit feels like a plot twist.

i hate every company but i love some games

Like legitimately enjoy? or enjoy despite it's flaws?

does wanting to enjoy but ultimately having such a bad time due to how incompetent the company behind it is, counts?

if yes;

if no;
>every single VALVE game




 

I feel like we need to discuss why MMOs as a genre were never good, but how they were also fucking amazing. This is all due to when MMOs became a thing.
Most if not all MMOs people actually care about were from the early 2000s. They were all pushing the boundaries of capitalism over video games with either a subscription or whatever the hell is wrong with the korean industry, but, and I must stress this, but…they came out during the ONLY MOMENT they would've been successful.
They were social spaces, social WORLDS in fact, they were by definition larping sims. In an era where that was still a new thing. From 2003-2012, MMOs had THIS as their main wow factor. This is also their only staying power in media ABOUT video games, their sense of community and ability to break barriers…of course, all those external pieces of media also made it about how MMO players were losers, but nontheless, that was why they became a genre.
After social media became a permanent staple of human life, MMOs had practically no point anymore. Most of them were already garbage gameplay wise. This is why we all want classic wow, or classic maple, or the return of wonderking (which, by the way, looks like actual garbage, to my dismay).
We didn't "grow out" of MMOs, that is what idiots with no argument say to shut you up, the WORLD outgrew MMOs, and sadly, we have been conditioned to not be impressed or enamoured.
>what the fuck are you saying OP??
I'm saying what I mean, anon. Maybe I was groomed by this industry to endure capitalism, but DAMN IT, there was a time talking to someone as your personal chibi avatar was cool and FUN! Now it's a fucking bore, I cannot understand why anyone would play an MMO in 2025, almost all of them are bad wow clones.

>bad wow clone
funny considering wow is probably the worst of the currently popular ones in terms of gameplay

>>44755
Honestly discord in particular did a lot to gut the social aspect and accelerate the breaking up of the community into cliques. Either way it's probably just my autism but Maplestory is the only one that ever grabbed me. I still play it. The upcoming winter update looks really promising.
Also, like war, capitalism is fun when it's a video game, i figured mmos were more like closely regulated market economies via a central body (the corp running it), not necessarily a free one. Or is there a difference?

Anyone ever play the goat, OG Tibia?

I just started playing (technically resumed as I had one low level character from years ago) Warhammer: Return of Reckoning, the fan resurrection of discontinued Age of Reckoning. Completely free, daily peak population at around 1000 players, very comfy feeling that brings me back to Burning Crusade era WoW, but with more PvP focus. I dont even bother with any optimal play, I just slowly do all quests I encounter for the sake of roleplay.
I think it is this pressure to in accordance with meta that is the biggest thief of joy for players, having everything documented, all figured out, destroys sense of exploration the old MMOs had, when you couldnt just find a youtuber who figured out the mathematically optimal way to play.
