Never liked this lumping of everyone into oversimplified "gamers" as if it's anything different besides conservatives who happen to play games.

It is always conservatives. In any hobby.

thatKamGuy,

There’s a reason that particular cohort is mockingly referred to as capital-G Gamers^TM^.

Zahille7,

Exactly.

ano_ba_to,

Not just any hobby, any country. You think this country still uses fax machines and are a bunch of racists? You think that country doesn’t believe in vaccines and elected a moron? You think that country is committing a genocide?

I need to hop back into the OG (Just Supermarket Simulator) and check out the changes. They added crime and cleaning to it since I last played. Maybe even more.

That looks pretty cool actually and I've just seen you can get self checkout tills too. Might have to give it a try. Not a big fan of them adding crime though. I used to run a shop a few years ago and crime was never a fun thing to have to deal with.

Tanoh,

You can turn off crime in the options menu.

I just bought Supermarket Simulator and played it for 5 hours straight. It's so addictive!! 😆 That birdsong gets on your nerves after a while but I saw there's a mod that removes it so I'll try that tomorrow.

Quick update apparently 5 days later, I've now played 55 hours of this... Such an addictive game! 😁

There are better games for sure but its not a waste of time to play it. It is very of its era though gameplay wise.

Feel like dudes who refuse to ever play as women or in simulated gay relationships are just depriving themselves of some quality content. I haven’t gotten to this BG3 playthrough yet, but you can’t tell me Ascended Astarion and Ambition Gale won’t be the most toxic codependent enabling shit ever, and it is gonna be enthralling to watch that heat up and burn down.

untorquer,

Stay away from Gale. The mechanics of romancing him are more toxic than the character themself. There is no indication of when he locks you out of other options. It’s like playing “Set a Boundary Simulator”. Least fulfilling romance imo. What a fucking weirdo.

Definitely go full in, “I can fix him” with Astarion.

Talking from many patches ago fwiw, maybe some of the mechanics were fixed.

    Damn man, I love Resident Evil and have never finished an SH game, but we have so many of the former (especially considering the indie scene) this seems like an excessively presumptuous comment.

    RightHandOfIkaros,

    Silent Hill was never a Resident Evil clone. It always had a unique identity. Resident Evil, except the original game, has the identity of a Hollywood Action movie. The developers of the game have stated that is what they wanted from the series starting with RE2. Silent Hill, on the other hand, is like a much slower Alfred Hitchcock Suspense film. Slower paced, methodical, and plays on the viewer’s imagination. Where Resident Evil might explicitly say something in the lore, Silent Hill is more likely to only imply it.

    And then we get to Silent Hill 2 Remake which basically is just a copy of Resident Evil 4 Remake, sadly.

    daggermoon, do games w Why do new Silent Hill entries attract so much negativity?

    I don’t know but its fucking annoying. Yes, the Team Silent games were the best, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have more great SH games. I’d like to think Konami learned their lesson with Downpour. Homecoming was alright except for it contradicting previously established lore. I’m going to play f with an open mind. Being an SH fan can be exhausting sometimes.

    honestly, imma just say it: silent hill shattered memories had a very interesting take on the series, and I don’t see anything wrong with spin-offs or minor titles deviating from the original formula of gameplay. Are we just bathing a tad too much in nostalgia?

    RightHandOfIkaros,

    I dont mind spin-offs. I avtually like Silent Hill The Arcade and I wanted to play Book of Memories until I saw its not supported in Vita3k still. I ain’t buying a Vita just for that one game.

    I don’t understand IP fans that think spin-offs are mainline entries. Metroid Prime Pinball and Hyrule Warriors (the original one) are among the best of the best spin-offs. I can’t imagine why anyone would think they taint the series they are based on. They are supplemental material made to be fun, not to contribute to the mainline story.

    JasSmith, do games w 1 year a go today, Concord was released.

    Such a comprehensive example of poor decision making at so many levels. From the decision to charge for a PvP hero shooter in a saturated market of free PvP hero shooters, to spending what appeared to be tens of millions on marketing, PR, and CGI cut scenes, to the worst character designs in living memory. It’s clear they did zero focus group testing on those characters, or if they did, they ignored all feedback. As is so common now, everyone involved in the fiasco is going to be integrated into future projects and destroy them too. They’ll learn nothing and keep doing it.

    glimse,

    The character design was derivative but they weren’t awful, come on now. Absolutely true about the rest

    JasSmith,

    I struggle to think of worse examples in the AAA space. The colours weren’t just badly complemented, but intentionally violated colour theory. Their skills had nothing to do with their aesthetic or stories. They were just kind of thrown together without any care. Why was Baz, the bulky man, given ninja-like skills? None of the characters were attractive. One was morbidly obese. Almost all of them were gender non-conforming. And the biggest sin of all: none of them were cool. They were all lame as shit. You must know all of this if you’ve been following the story and criticism. It’s fine to disagree and in many instances there is room for subjectivity, but this was one of those rare examples where we can all come together to objectively declare these characters a train wreck.

    No, it wasn’t worth playing back in the day either though

    Guitarfun, do gaming w Whine harder you assholes

    I like to play games that let you customize your characters. I usually avoid all games that force me to play as anyone but myself in that universe. I think all games should let you choose who you want to be and who you want to be with if romance is an option.

    llamapocalypse, do games w Is Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII Worth Playing in 2025?

    The gameplay is fun, but the story is kinda nonsensical and the antagonist names are just dumb (ah yes, Red the Red and Blue the Blue!)

    dmention7, do gaming w Whine harder you assholes

    In many cases, not even forced, just given the option to play as a non-straight character in a way that’s mostly irrelevant to the actual game!

    shalafi,

    I’m not aware of a single game that forces one to play as a homosexual. Anyone?

    Focal,
    justastranger,

    Can’t find any for explicitly homosexual male main characters, but Horizon Zero Dawn and The Last of Us both feature explicitly homosexual female main characters.

    mnemonicmonkeys,

    Aloy is a lesbian? Was that introduced in the second game? I’m not against it, just surprised

    When playing the first game I just assumed she wasn’t willing to deal with guys’ flirting bullshit.

    justastranger,

    Apparently it was confirmed in the Burning Shores dlc when she kisses Seyka.

    mnemonicmonkeys,

    A kiss isn’t definite proof she’s a lesbian. Ever hear of a brojob?

    ^FYI this is a joke^

    Zahille7,

    I did read somewhere that the kiss and romance subplot is optional, but either way it still basically confirms Aloy is attracted to women.

    I haven’t played the sequel yet, just read about it.

    justastranger,

    I don’t think there are any confirmed gays in that series. The closest I could find was a fanon wiki with an LGBT characters category.

    i contest reality’s position. no one is gayer for riku than sora. quod erat demonstratum, reality is wrong

    Bennyboybumberchums,

    Always like to use the Last of Us as a example. If Joel and Tommy were lovers, instead of brothers. How would the story change? The answer of course being, it wouldnt. Joel would still be awesome. But what would be different, is that the character wouldnt be bogged down in social media pandering dogshit.

    I think most people who object to LGBT characters, do so because they are almost always caricatures of stereotypes laced with perpetually online social commentary. Ellie is probably one the best LGBT characters ever created. Because shes just a human being, with flaws, hopes, dreams, fears and all the rest. Anyone can relate to her.

    justastranger,

    Unfortunately, the chuds will object to any representation of any minority. It does not matter how irrelevant their sexuality or race or gender is to the plot. Unless they’re hypersexualized for the male gaze, that is.

    Bennyboybumberchums,

    Who gives a fuck about the chuds? They are the minority. The focus on them blows them up, like they are some kind of major threat to the world. But the reality is, they are a small group of sad losers who cant get girls to touch them, and spend too much time jerking off to jailbait cartoons under the guise that “shes really a 400 year old demon, so its fine…”.

    People, in general, dont like badly written characters. Thats why everyone made fun of that shitty new Dragon age game. The hyper focus on all things lgbt, and so little focus on the story and characters. You coudnt even be an asshole to anyone, but you could do push ups for getting pro nouns wrong…

    LGBT people, are just people. This insistence that all they ever do is sit around talking about being LGBT is bullshit. They play games, they watch movies, they go on dates, they cos play, they worry about making rent, they cry after bad break ups, they have hopes, and dreams, fears and nightmares. They are human beings. But modern day “representation” forgets this so often, and just turns them into caricatures. And then only people who like that shit, and the perpetually online. And when I say like it, I mean they can use it for their social media clout chasing.

    Like I said, Ellie is a great LGBT character because shes a real character, warts and all. We need more representation like that.

    drunkpostdisaster,

    That’s never going to happen. Male sexually just gives people the ick these days. It sucks, but I don’t know what can be done. Even liberals will throw gay men under the bus

    Zahille7,

    I was personally upset that ME:A doesn’t let you replay any sex scenes or romance anyone else after choosing one.

    You get one little like 2:00-long cutscene of some humping and caressing and then it’s back to business as usual.

    Opisek,

    Could I skip it? Yes, but I paid for this content so now I have to see it to get my money’s worth. It’s not my fault I’m doing it, it’s the woke™!
