great shit post concept over the top of arks gameplay, which was already a pretty big splash. it’s actually such a win considering the developers are a pretty small scale and humble team

sad and big true

i played outbreak so much as a kid that I still have the speedrun routes burned into my brain. put me in wild things and mf i’m killing the elephant to force the lions to spawn for an easier escape. i never even had an internet connection for my ps2 so I was straight singleplayering it

imagine being a liberal and having to accept that your personal voldemort cares more about Palestine than any leader you can choose from like even just being able to say that is more than so many western leaders

I don’t think corporations have as much of an interest in asserting Yasuke was a samurai as these people seem to believe.

Yes! They patched it out of the directors cut, though. Personally I think much of the personality of the game was stripped away when we could no longer make Norman Reedus drink three full heart attack potions between each mission.

Any and all gaming projects, be they full game releases or some dudes personal mod, will be hounded by JAQing off about how communism is actually bad. There’s a real smugness to it, too. Like, “whao guys I know you’re having fun over here but we’re all on the same page that stalin murdered my grandparents with a giant spoon, right??”

we fully atomized now son, don’t got no social spaces free of the ever present pressures of modern economic system. can’t even sit down to play a game or read a book without wondering if you’re wasting valuable money-making time.

i have been keenly aware of how passionless and directionless i’ve been since i was a teenager. used to think I was just depressed but it took me a long time to realize the system is letting me down, and i shouldn’t be expected to change my very human wants and needs to conform to the soul crushing market-driven system we’re cursed in

Nothing gets me more ‘oh great commie forefathers we have failed you’ than seeing old soviet propaganda about uplifting and empowering women. I geniuenly believe we still need that to this day and absolutely loathe the placification of feminism under liberal ideologies

the fentanyl fairy, but only if you’ve been a good boy throughout the year

they’re cool hacker guys who exist outside of hegemonic ideology. they’re after the big guys, real cyber robin hood types. so anyway that’s why they wanted to bully poorer nation :)

dudes bragging like the DoD are so impressed and ‘want to know how he did it,’ mf I’m sure if the US wanted to they could bully their internet as well, probably a good reason they didn’t want to though

they made zelda woke 😞

literal ghoulish depictions of the image of man dreamed up by the soulless

i hate thumbnails. i hate search engine optimization. i hate algorithms. i miss feeling like people on the internet were ever at all genuine

is this praxis?

i used to be addicted to pop culture and to an extent probably still am

no one got through to me by curbing my pop culture addiction. i needed the gnawing, numb emptiness inside of me to grow beyond the joy a rebooted IP gave me. only then did i start caring about actually important shit

If you join an official public server, there’s an extremely high chance you’ll join with cheater bots that spawn endless, aimbotting snipers. It’s less of a problem on community servers as they’re actively moderated by players, but official servers have to rely on vote kicking a fresh cheater bot every few minutes.

This is all done by some script kiddy group who apparently want to highlight Valve’s deprecated support. Basically ruin the game until Valve fixes the game. There’s also some measure of farming ingame item drops to sell for money, I think.

Honestly, I don’t believe save TF2 will get anywhere. Valve is clearly uninterested in supporting the game, and who could fault them? It’s an old game, and games don’t need to be supported just because people play them.

The real problem Valve is playing with is that TF2 is still monetized. They should not be selling microtransactions for a game this broken. If they weren’t selling microtransactions, they would be entirely in their right to kill all official support and leave the game to community servers.

My main concern is that Valve will calculate this over the bad PR they’re receiving, and rather than do anything to curb the bot problem, simply kill their support for TF2. I would be okay with this. I think most people wanting to #SaveTF2 won’t be.

our universities are full of WOKE CULTURAL MARXISTS who want to OVERTHROW AMERICA, and that’s why petulant whining about minor protests groups get absolutely raked over the coals at every university you can imagine!

Haha, that’s good stuff. I guess selling horribly overpriced bears to parents isn’t a sustainable model, so gag gifts are the next best thing.

Yes, your Build-a-Bear™ Zaddy© shirt makes me want to change my bear into it’s You Turn Me On© shirt.

This is a really neat video idea, actually, and it’s throwing me for a loop that a time period I remember very well (post new vegas release, grabbing all the early mods) is now presented as sort of a lost history with enough content someone can produce a video on it.

This is so good, and if you did it, they’d probably complain about it on the local community facebook page about the hatred they’re receiving.
