This reminds me of the game Lunacid. It has mandatory pronoun selection at the beginning and there are like 20 of them. Every NPC refers to you only by name so the pronoun selection was put in specifically to annoy gamer chuds and I'm all for it

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago

And, if I remember right, it defaults to they/them lol

Putting on mongolian throat singing and playing my horseman mail delivery simulator.

Sounds like a less pompous and more grounded Death Stranding. Sounds great!

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 26 points 3 days ago

I'm into it but I'm very fucking pissed we got Horse Stranding before Bicycle Stranding

[-] courier8377@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago

What's the setting for bike stranding?

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago
  • Think Last of Us, 50:50 on the not-zombies, crucially, everyone didn't fucking forget bicycles existed
    -- possibly also STALKER or METRO-like setting

But honestly pick any. Anywhere there is fuel scarcity bicycles would make sense.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago

Dangers and challenges include those fucking "goat head" thorns that pop tires.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

Dude. Those fucking things. You know they can lay dormant for like a decade+ in the soil? The devil made those things. Ho hum just pulling weeds and five inches under the soil one of those fuckers goes straight through my glove and right into the tip of my finger under the nail. Basketball rolls off the court into the weeds by the school, pick it up and throw it back, friend that catches it screams because one of those fuckers hitched a ride and slammed into his palm at 25 miles per hour. All true stories from my life.

Notice how 99% of the time, anyone who replied negatively was pathetic enough to pay for twitter 🤔

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 34 points 3 days ago

They really, really think that Concord failed because of Woke huh?

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago

At some level, that these anti-“woke” g@mers are effectively apologizing for and distracting from the things that are actually a problem with the industry right now annoys me more than the bigotry. No no, don’t be complaining about microtransactions and live service and season pass models and paint-by-numbers hero shooters, the problem is woman with spunky hair cuts in vidya.

I need to know the origin of this gif.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

TV show called Power Rangers in the west

these people sure have a very limited set of games they can play now aint it

[-] Blottergrass@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago

They're playing the games anyway and their steam accounts prove it.

[-] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

They just don't count the ones they like. Baldurs gate 3 is the prime example.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago

The most freeze-gamergate pandering game imaginable was "Subverse," which was crowdfunded by freeze-gamergaters and even advertised directly to them. It was a waifu harem porn game in space with a vague gameplay loop and no "politics" in a way that'd upset freeze-gamergaters.

They apparently found it boring and it didn't really make a splash.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 35 points 3 days ago

I think one of the primary reasons why I didn't become a chud is that I came to a very important realization

Not everything is for me, and that doesn't mean that it's stupid or woke, it's just not something that fits my taste

The pipeline from 13th century Mongolia with no combat? Sounds lame to They're ruining video gaming with woke pronouns and femoid gays is actually more like a water slide

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago

They weren't going to play the game anyway unless they were going to make a Youtube video about it where they rage about it while wearing sunglasses and swigging whiskey while being as emotionally constipated as possible.

These people don't actually like or respect games, they like being catered to.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago

Yep

They think they're like some Lorenzo De Medici rich art patron

They're just hogs at the trough

What about the horses pronouns?

[-] roux@hexbear.net 25 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I hope they add neigh/nem just for the blue check chuds lol

E: neigh, not nay

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

Sticking it to the neighsayers. kelly

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 24 points 3 days ago

you know this bozo wouldn't play the game unless his character and his horse had DDD booba, jiggiling boobily in customizable matching leather and polished silver string bikinis.

[-] The_sleepy_woke_dialectic@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It takes 120 hours of developer time for each pronoun, making the game more expensive for everyone 😔

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 days ago

They're manually typing out every string with different pronouns, like

SHE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "She has the fastest horse."
HE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "He has the fastest horse."
THEY_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "They have the fastest horse."
ZIE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "Zie has the fastest horse."
[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago

FRENCH_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "Zie has zie fastest horse hohohoh~"

Hideo Kojima started it lol

[-] fox@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

There's 7 hours of cutscenes in Death Stranding and one is more than half an hour long. Let the man make films so we don't have to plod through mocap anymore

geordi-no "Whenever someone writes me about this ending-averse cynically nihilistic grimdark and murderfucky sword slop I kill a Stark"

geordi-yes "For every comment whining about DEI in my Mongolian courier rider game I will add one extra pronoun"

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

Every time someone complains about pronouns, they will be assigned one (1) additional pronoun

Death Stranding on horseback? I would play that in a heartbeat

Me when the vimblio jame says "The champion is over there, they are very brave!" instead of a preferred pronoun. lets-fucking-go

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

they

Comrade, I regret to inform you that they is also a pronoun. There is no escaping the woke gulag.

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Oh you'd like to be the Tzar's courier? Yeah you'd like that, wouldn't you? I thought exactly the same in your age, that one could just... jump on a horse and throw letters around everywhere whenever I felt like it. As if the tzar doesn't have better things to do than go around looking under random oxen for letters that you've thrown haphharzardly.
It's a fine idea. Maybe not for you though. You can be a ringbinder is what you can be.

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago

This is a deep cut for maybe one other person on this site

[-] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Unless this person is an expert in 13th Century Mongolian linguistics, I fail to see how they even could feel able to decry pronoun choices as being ahistorical (not that that would even really matter for a vidgam).

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

The funny part is that they haven't even tried to justify their opinion like that yet. They are just mad in general about the possibility of words being used in a way they refuse to understand.
