#gamers TM

The reaction to BG3 has made me realise how performative and shallow gamer rage is.

If any other company left their game in such a buggy, clearly unfinished state they'd be ripped apart.

7 patches in and There's still, gear that doesn't work. Bugs that can completely ruin your playthrough. Story flags that are set incorrectly.

And two of the main companions stories are doomed to forever be a fucking cliffhanger. This is the kind of shit that Bethesda and Bioware get fucking crucified for!

I love games, but I hate gamers.

so this is, as far as anyone can tell, not a joke. this is an actual list an alt right dipshit gamerTM made of 'conservative core' games and posted on a 4chan clone, and it's the greatest self own I've seen online in a while. guy is just out here boasting about his own lack of media literacy

I'll put the full list below a cut for anyone who wants it, but i just want to highlight a extra few special entries here first (minor content warning for mention of forced pregnancy, nothing explicit):

Toho Project: it's almost certainly on here because it contains anime waifus, but I've literally never met a toho fan who wasn't trans. technically i guess cis toho fans exist, but they're definitely not the ones keeping the franchise afloat

The 3 different Warhammer 40k games: 40k was created as a critique of reactionary conservatism generally, and margaret thatcher specifically.

Doom: just gonna quote the creator of doom here. "Trans rights are human rights, important rights, critical rights and society needs to do more to make this the case for everyone."

Sniper Elite: this is a game about shooting nazis in the balls. literally, that is the game. there are nazis, you shoot them. usually in the balls. that feels like a pretty firmly anti-nazi stance to me, idk

Persona 4: this game is about how conservative japanese society mistreats teenagers and denies them physical and emotional agency. gonna go out on a limb and guess it's on here because dipshit fancies one of the female characters

Silent Hill 3: silent hill three is about a teenage girl who is impregnated against her will and desperately wants to not be pregnant but a powerful religious organisation tries to force her to carry the baby to term and as a direct result the world nearly ends. in one of the endings, it does end. because of the lack of an abortion. i cannot believe the game about the importance of reproductive rights isn't even the stupidest entry on this list

Fallout 3: it is, granted,one of the less political fallouts. it's still a game about how the U.S. gonvernment destroyed the entire world by declaring war on china and then nuking the planet, and also about how unchecked capitalism and the replacing the social safety net with corporations will inevitably lead to those corporations abusing people, and how that is very bad actually.

Bioshock: literally the first thing that happens in this game is you are told libertarianism is a stupid ideology that will always fail and ayn rand was a moron. and then the game goes on telling you that. at length. in a variety of creative ways. for the next 15 hours.

Metro Last Light: see fallout, this is a game about war-hungry governments who don't give a shit about their people end up nuking the planet and nearly wiping out all life.

and finally, to end on the highest possible note:

Metal Gear Rising Revengence: not only is this an entry in a franchise which is entirely and exclusively about how awful the military industrial complex is, this game specifically is about a soldier who was abused by the military killing the president of the united states because his use of private military corporations to fight wars is morally indefensible. literally. that's the plot. it's entirely possible raiden just says those words in that order out loud in the game because hideo kojima knows writers who use subtext and they're all cowards.

anyway, the alt right are fucking morons and media studies needs to be a compulsory subject in every school on the planet.

Because he has such a soft voice, I feel like i always forget Gerojim is another MASSIVE drama nerd.

Working theory that all Bugnarak are theater kids.

youtube is currently filled with approximately thirty thousand videos on how awful that new dragon age game is and I've been watching them out of morbid curiosity because the game does seem to be truly atrocious, but they're also kind of alarming to me cause it always inevitably turns into some dude ranting about "wokeness" which inevitably leads to "i don't have a problem with gay people, i just prefer not to see them or be reminded of them ever." One million views, one million likes, and every comment saying the same thing.

And idk, man. I think we may have lost control of the plot here when zoomers are now more homophobic than previous generations and the ipad babies are presumably learning how to goose step from paw patrol. I don't think we're winning these "culture wars" as much as we think

[minas-linkverse]

In the ask then

Majora's mask!

So the thing with Majora's Mask is that I think its an incredibly unique piece of media that was spawned from facinating circumstances and nothing will ever replicate it. It's a massive rabbit hole of a game that even after all these years continues to facinate and bewilder its fans.

That being said. I tried playing it after a few lets plays and had a godawful time ajdkdkfkg. I'm a modern gal, I grew up with games that had a lot more quality of life features... Like giving me an objective. Majora's Mask's gameplay is an anxiety inducing struggle against time and it works AMAZING for the atmosphere and story... Insert Pathologic reference here. But unfortunately I like my games fun to play.

What I'm saying is that I adore Majora's Mask as a piece of history, as art, as a total mess and a truly special piece of gaming... But I do not wanna play it. I'm scared scoob.

10/10 what the hell am I looking at

[gameguy20100]

Gamers: Ugh, this isn't really an RPG!

Me: What makes you say that?

Git: I can't play the way I want!

Me: So, you need help with your build or...

Git: No it's all woke! There's not enough racial discrimination and war crimes, and why can't go round mudering all the npcs, I love doing that especially children. And why are none of the women being raped?! This is modernism gone to far!

Me: You've got issues dude.

imagining tara playing until dawn is funny and also possible, but the year it came out would also have been the year sam abandoned her a few months prior so i think she might’ve had other things on her mind
