thingsiplay, do games w Hero shooter Highguard reportedly didn't even pay for the Game Awards slot that's earned it so much preemptive hate—the showrunners thought it deserved the spotlight
@thingsiplay@lemmy.ml avatar

I personally don’t judge a game on the spot it got in a show. As someone who likes hero shooters, I give it a chance (if it runs on Linux). My first reaction was, that the game doesn’t look interesting. But re watching the trailer, there is some stuff going on. And coming from the Titanfall / Apex Legends team, this can be a good game in the end. I honestly want to have more hero shooters to choose from…

Yes, it was disappointing as the last special “there is one more thing”. But honestly, can you judge the entire game by that? Or should you judge the show instead? Off course if you don’t like hero shooters, that’s a different story.

Even without opening I can tell it's the common loon, because that haunted me for years, and when I heard it as an adult, twenty years later I was like "Rogan?"

A good mealtime video about why it is so prevalent:

That’s probably for the best any game that glorifies bullying probably isn’t great for society.

NoForwadSlashS,

Its funny that the game is 20 years old and people still make this assumption from the title alone.

That’s my favorite game.

NachBarcelona,

So you’re a hypocriteand a prejudiced imp. Fantastic combo.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

I see nothing hypocritical about that there isn’t any bullying in any of the grand theft autos.

BryceBassitt,

So a blind hypocrite and prejudiced imp then?

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

One that’s being bullied right now by all you people who learned your world views from games that glorify bullying.

JackbyDev,
NachBarcelona,

I see, so you lied about playing GTA, don’t see any problems with virtual mayhem, but an anti-bullying game gets your inner Karen seething.

Totally not hypocritical.

MnemonicBump,

You probably know this by now, but Bully is a remarkable tale of anti-bullying. You don’t play the one bullying others, you play the one who gets bullied.

SaharaMaleikuhm,

That is the worst rage bait ever, but it seems to have worked regardless. Well done CumFart, well done.

Didn’t they literally make a game about bullying, also is there a game (by another studio) about “going postal”.

I even saw a game trying to recreate the JFK headshot, but this is something they frown upon?

newthrowaway20,

It’s about timing. If someone did this before he died, you wouldn’t even hear about it in the news.

Widdershins,
@Widdershins@lemmy.world avatar

JFK Reloaded was made to dispel conspiracy theories by simulating the assassination and grading each shot on how close it was to real life. The ballistics were advanced. It turns out it is a lot more fun to play when you shoot the drivers first, stopping the motorcade, and start shooting the sunglasses off the cops and the guns out of their hands. It’s no Sniper Elite but you can really pump JFK’s guts full of lead.

jjjalljs,

Capitalism. The rich owner types don’t like this sort of thing, and they have a lot of power. They don’t really have coherent values except “in-group to protect, out-group to bind” and “no one tells me what to do. i tell you what to do.”

_stranger_,

I didn’t realize Bully came out ~20 years ago. Fuck. I can believe I’m saying this but, it really was a different time.

Katana314,

I avoided that game based on the name, but from what I gather, it was misleading; pretty much every sect of that school is full of jerks (sadly including the nerds, who often cater to their own victim complex), and your character is just facing the larger of them.

sad_detective_man,

Indeed but Dollar General is just worth mentioning specifically because the rate they do it at is larger per their revenue. Like if you live in a small town and hear DG is trying to set up, seriously fight that shit.

chaogomu,

Hard to unionize when you’re the only person working the store.

But yes, the company is also anti-union.

sad_detective_man,

That’s right I forget they operate on skeleton crews.

BreadstickNinja,

This is true, but Dollar General also tends to move in after the economy is already hollowed out. You used to have vast distribution networks of local merchants and independent businesses. Now everything flows up to the Waltons and Bezos and Dollar General licks up the scraps.

sad_detective_man,

I was not aware of this. A lot of these towns I see them feeding off of had their moment before I was born, so that’s a detail I missed

for the umpteenth time, quit making mods for games that are developed by asshats. Take Two/R* very clearly don’t want a healthy community surrounding and supporting their games as evidenced by virtually every decision they make regarding community modding efforts, stop trying to give them one; spend your time making mods for better games. Or better still, go from modding games to creating them and you could develop your vision without the constraints of someone else’s IP. But for the love of fuck stop giving time and effort to these people who will deliberately squander it.

C1pher,
@C1pher@lemmy.world avatar

You don’t understand. When you ask FOR MONEY, YOU are in the wrong. Bethesda obly tolerances this shit, since they are too illiterate to look further than Nexusmods.

Mods are legal, but they have to be free. Its already a grey area, having free mods along with patreon or other revenue generating sites.

archonet,

no, you don’t understand, as Take Two and R* quite happily also take down free mods.

Crazy how repeating a false narrative allows it to stick. That’s why these ass clowns are always so quick to get in the first word and say shit like Renee Nicole Good was a domestic terrorist. Spouting bullshit is powerful.

BarneyPiccolo,

The Big Lie is an old strategy that the Nazis used to great success, so not surprisingly, it has become the foundational strategy for MAGA as well.

One of the things we need to do in the future is to regulate political speech. Politics is just marketing for candidates, and advertising/marketing speech is regulated for truthfulness. If politicians decide to start spewing demonstrable lies, they need to held accountable, with fines, loss of access to the media, loss of the ability to run for office, and perhaps even prison time.

And we need to regulate the Conservative Propaganda Machine as a National Security Threat. You can responsibly oppose and criticize the government, but you can’t deploy your media outlet to organize with others to help overthrow the government, or provide cover for the treason or government abuse of others. At that point, your media has become a weapon of sedition, and should be dealt with decisively.

PCGamer is officially off my reading list now.

However, skeletons cannot take orders, nor do they know what waffles are, which is probably why Paladin Posting described the service there as “shit” (once again, Waffle House patrons will find this chillingly accurate).

The Waffle Houses around me all have pretty good service. As long as you stick to the hashbrowns or waffles the foods great for mopping up a hard night.

wirelesswire,

Hashbrowns scattered all the way was my go-to.

Probably should’ve asked for donations to support their passion projects or just casually have a donate button to the side. Gamers love supporting a good passion project. See: Stardew Valley and Hollow Knight for two easy examples given how many times people have bought extra copies because it’s so good and it’s so cheap and it’ll be fun to play again on Switch/Xbox/PS/PC/Mobile/Demake/audiobook/choose your own adventure

nutsack,

Rockstar also kills off mods that are free. I don’t even know how exactly I’m not a lawyer. The GTA V pcvr mod is one example

SaharaMaleikuhm,

Yeah, fuck Rockstar. Such a shitty company. Don’t pay for their games honestly.

Suburbanl3g3nd,

Don’t play their games. Pirating and playing ain’t much better when they still get word of mouth and press for their games

nutsack,

as long as they keep making really good games I’ll keep buying them and playing them. if they want to be dicks about their intellectual property, that’s a bummer, but at least they’re making good games
