Far Cry 6 was a game of the year 2021.

I’m glad Carlsen has finally opened up about what’s happening. I’m still unimpressed by both sides.

I’ve never been in the “video games cause violent behavior” and I’m still not, but there is something chilling about these videos. Really it’s just antisocial personalities filtered through the language of gaming, but all I can think with these is “this kid is not far from a school shooting”.

That’s what you took from his post?

It’s just dehumanizing “sheeple” or Holden Caulfield’s “phonies” repackaged for the 21st century. The NPC term is very online but the narcissism isn’t.

No no, these are the GOOD kind of politics.  The kind that never get commented on or very quickly hand-waved away.

The BAD politics is like...women or minorities existing.

Speaking of, reminder that Kinja allows someone to dismiss stupid shithead bigots who reply to them in the grays.

Deplatforming works

I feel nothing but sympathy for the rank and file, but this was the correct move. Honestly a little surprised Riot actually acted in this manner instead of hoping it’d blow over.

...those monsters on Reddit and Twitter might finally be useful for something!

what im getting from this is that in order to see more behind the scenes footage of game development and a better understanding on how triple a games are produced, we need to generate takes so nightmarishly bad that developers will have no choice but to dunk on them

Just because socialism is inherently better then late stage capitalism doesn’t mean you gotta suck Soviet Russia’s dick.   

‘Remember when Kotaku was XYZ?’ is just ‘Remember when 4chan was good? ’ in another outfit. I’ve spoken on it in the past but Denton is gone, the star commenter system is long gone and pining after it is pointless. You are ether here until they turn the lights off or you are here to troll at this point.

Red necks can exist anywhere. It is a state of mind.

Is that before or after the chess?

“I’m not saying anyone’s ever done it, but I AM saying someone should try.”

Yah, with DeSantis trying to go full on 1984 I don’t think it’s a safe place for many different types of people these days. He’s literally trying to tell every school to lie about history and omit anything that could lead to a different narrative than the one he specifically wants to indoctrinate kids with.

Why is it you think “I don’t agree with your lifestyle” is an acceptable euphemism for, “I’d be happier if you were dead,” and why is that not an acceptable reason to not do business with somebody?

Good. Fuck Florida until that piece of shit is out.

Good for them.
