(Just to clarify, in case it isn't clear- I'm not a mod, just riffing on I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream)

Going back to the site's founding, the vibe I've gotten is that many of the people maintaining the site never fully intended for it to become a direct continuation/replacement of the old subreddit and wanted to use the momentum of the banwave to establish an entirely new online leftist community with its own identity

Unfortunately for them, a large part of the new site's initial userbase was chapo posters (well,the least worst part at least, because there were certainly parts I'm glad didn't make the jump) who brought the sub's posting style with them

I will copy paste a ROM of Super Mario Land until I fill my hard drive and become a millionaire

I moderate a chapotraphouse subreddit derivative and I must scream no-mouth-must-scream

I guess we need some kind of retirement home for all the white millennial chapo reddit irony style posters

Yeah, at least name them something like slop_bucket or something

I can handle 30 fps when emulating old games since often there's no way to go higher or existing 60 fps patches break stuff.

Lower than that just feels really bad

But low effort shitposts and memes were what originally kept me browsing r/cth in the first place

Sometimes you just need to gawk at and vent about all the awful sickos and freaks out there with like-minded individuals

spoilerI'm also too stupid to effort post

Is that a quote from the dude? Still, all he managed to do was get his life fucked. It's not like he was causing any lasting harm to Nintendo (though I'm sure they're claiming this guy's streams caused them to lose googolplex dollars)

multiplayer horror games like Lethal Company (and presumably Phasmophobia idk, haven't played it) are actually comedy games, not horror.

You say that, but when we were playing, we had a couple of moments where we'd tell each other we'd quickly go upstairs to fetch something, then come back down, calling out to them only to discover them dead on the floor. Perfect horror beat right there, and something that could only work in a multiplayer context. The proximity chat really makes the experience

I think bringing down the intensity levels would make moments like that even more effective

When you're a rightwing slop generator and you gotta generate slop out of anything

IGN didn't like a game? It must be because it wasn't gay enough. IGN liked a game? It was too gay!!!

Thank you, but I discovered I could just use the "Subscribed" feed after tweaking my joined comms stalin-approval

I don't want to see non-stop coverage of these grotesque characters and what they're up to for the next four years bear-despair

I'm just going to peace out of news and current events, and if any of my RL acquaintances try to inform me of whatever's going on, I'll knee em in the balls

If anyone's looking for me, I'll be squatting over at c/games. Wasn't there a way to curate your comms

 

Takes some gumption to even touch a notorious broken flop like that

 

There's something about all these millennial and younger gamer chud culture warrior diphits smugly cosplaying as Christians that just fucking irks me

 

I'm surprised to hear this since from what I recall the publisher forced Creative Assembly to continue the series in some sort of mobile slop format instead which then predictably fizzled out

 

Those maximum temps were reached when I just sat in my car with the radio tuned to Self Radio

sicko-wistful Thanks a lot, Rockstar

 

Death Stranding came out in 2019. Death Stranding 2 will come out in 2025. That's six years for two games. If these were the PS2 days Kojima would have cranked out 3 Death Stranding games by now and we'd be getting Death Stranding 3: Subsistence along with a teaser for Death Stranding 4 next year.

Remember when video game trilogies used be to a huge thing in the sixth and seventh generations? You'd typically get 3 games in about 5-7 years

See: Halo, Gears of War, Resistance, Killzone, etc

 

Where did the sunlight go? Why is it so dark and cold all of a sudden, what the fuck is this??? shocked-pikachu

 

It's time to watch another long retro video game video essay, hexbear

Someone who has access to the show could probably take an actual screencap

 

TLDR: Yahtzee liked the game but thinks the PS5 is pointless

 

It's an interesting divergence compared to the sorts of enemies you fight in most Western RPGs. Imagine running into any of these guys or the evil house from FF7 in an Elder Scrolls

 

Probably overthinking a goofy anime game franchise but I find it interesting that they'd choose to combine Germany and Russia into one aggressor nation for their WWII facsimile soviet-hmm

I can't really call it liberal anti-communist brainworms though since the East Europan Imperial Alliance is more reminiscent of Imperial Germany than anything and I think the devs were consciously avoiding depicting anything even close to fascism or communism because Sega didn't want their wholesome anime WWII game to be political

spoilerThat didn't stop them from writing in a distrusted and hated minority that was sort of a stand-in for Jews though

I was looking for PSP games to check out and remembered Valkyria Chronicles went PSP exclusive after the first game. I played the first Valkyria Chronicles when it was released on PC a while back and while I enjoyed the turn-based tactical gameplay I sort of hated the game's aesthetics. I'm sorry, but I can't take your story about the horrors of war seriously when it's depicted in bright pastel colours and when everyone involved looks like a Pokemon trainer. Plucky child soldiers is also one of my most hated anime tropes
