>>1571315 >implying reality is worse than the derpiest grim dark shit imaginable whoever took this narrative of "reality is le bad" needs to choke on dick

>>1571472 Reality is bad because when a million people die in 40k that's a million fictional people with no names who never existed. When people die irl that's real people, hence by default worse.

>>1571495 Do 40k million people die in your inmediate reality? No, only closed ones that matter. You decide which reality to carry. If you like to live in a pit of shit, it's not my fault you decide to think things are "le bad" Now kill yourself and become one with those 40k

Why has OpenCritic overtaken Metacritic in recent times? I've noticed more outlets and even devs citing OC scores to MC scores. I pay zero attention to the criticism side of the industry, I'm sure there's some reason for this.

>>1585123 This is the first time I'm hearing about it. Then again, I rarely browse websites other than this and a select few jewtube channels and porn.

>>1585123 Metacritic got very open about how fake it was, though I've never heard of even normalfags and corporate dropping it.

>>1585315 Same, I think the last time I visited or cared about metacritic was like 2013.

>>1585392 >>1585336 For the last 10 (or more?) years the only time metacritic and rotten tomatoes ever seem to come up is when some YouTuber needs to illustrate just how fake the entertainment industry is with all of its bought and paid for reviews filled with cheap whore influencers and dying legacy Media shills.

>>1585123 Because the media company that owns it is paying them >>1585336 >>1585392 >>1585561 They're all corporate owned for profit trash

>>1585627 >They're all corporate owned for profit trash I think one of the things that really opened my eyes up to the retardation of Metacritic was the fact that Obsidian didn't get a bonus on New Vegas because their contract basically stipulated if they didn't get an 80-something they weren't owed for their success, and the score they got was off by one point. Then again that sort of just highlights how retarded the industry was (and still is).

>>1585827 The industry is even more retarded nowadays AAA is barely afloat these days and wholly dependent on whales.

Does anybody have the screencap of that one anons insane 2 billion calorie snack that was just melted chocolate, ramen, and junk food? I need it for reasons.

>>1587847 won't he just vaporize with that kind of calorie count?

>play a game online with random joiners >two of them leave after the first inconvenience >last guy stays and we have a fun time playing together for like an hour or two >add him as a friend >every time I've logged on in the past week he messages me asking to play again >when I start up another multiplayer game he goes "oh man it sure would be great if I had that game too haha" >never respond to him again My mistake, I know. I fucking hate people.

>>1587847 I'm somehow baffled yet intrigued you asked this at all. Now I want to know too.

>>1587847 This one?

>>1588936 >the children are dead at this point There it is. Anon always delivers. Thanks. Now to go grocery shopping

>>1571472 They already do, chief.

>>1588936 Goddamn.

>>1545424 >Apparently doesn't work the other way around. How do you think you get a Dorse?

Do you ever feel like spending so much time on /v/ has negatively shaped your thoughts, especially with how needlessly hostile and negative people can be simply when trying to discuss videogames?

>>1593149 You chose what to think

>>1593149 I don't put that much value on the opinions you heard on anonymous imageboards, a lot of people who post in these would be considered deranged IRL

>>1593193 I disagree. You can do what you will but you can't will what you will. If you could choose what to think, everyone would just be happy all the time and nobody would ever have any negative thoughts or emotions.

>>1593149 Unironically no, my sense of self is probably way too strong to really change due to anything a faglord on the internet tells me.

>>1596881 jej

>>1596881 Where is the joke?

>>1594227 You can easily see what matters or what doesn't in your life If you choose to focus on shit that is, at the end of the day be counterproductive, that is your fault.

>>1596881 Hey buddy I think you got the wrong door. The LOL thread is two blocks down.

>>1597125 i didn't think it was very lol so i put it here

>>1593149 After getting a 3 month ban from cuckchan, I feel legitimately happier. 8chan may not be perfect, but you guys are much better at having a discussion than that gaggle of idiots, trolls, bots and shills. I find myself enjoying video games more than ever.

>>1597778 What was the excuse of the ban?

>>1597778 Yeah, 4chan is a mess.

>>1597778 The concept of a twitter screencap thread and other ragebait shit is already alien to me.

https://doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend >Brutal Legend made free in tribute of Ozzy's death he's a VA in the game, surprisingly decent too >go to download it <uhh you need an account for THIS game, honey :^) Goddamn it, I'd just pirate it in that case. I've never had to make an Itch account to download something free before.

I AM JUST A TEENAGE DIRTBAG BOY DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN

>>1600134 I fucking love the US Army burger aesthetic tbh

>>1597778 That time 4chan was down on /vb/ was interesting

hue I am a proxy hohol now

>>1600279 It sure was.

I guess I am stuck shitposting on my phone net now, fucking great. Just because my fucking sister took the router again. I made the mistake of paying 18 euro for 16 gb data instead of getting one for 120 gb data for 35 euro. Bleh Maybe the computer shop nearby offers a home internet plan for 10 euro or so, then I will be getting this one and put the router inside my room and praying to the gods that she doesn't take away this one too. What a fucking spiteful bitch she is. inb4 butthurt

>>1602367 a bitch is you

>>1597778 Play Ashes 2063, is gud >>1602367 Why did your sister take your router and why haven't you raped her yet?

>>1602396 your mom is a bitch >>1602430 >Why did your sister take your router I don't know, she just took it away one day while I was away. She later told me on I need to do some chores which I already did in the past and yesterday again too at night but before I start doing her remaining order I want to take some nap first before doing these few clean up. Geh I think she will yell only more at me if I try asking why she took my router away. >why haven't you raped her yet? Only niggers and goat fuckers do that and I am a white male.

>>1602367 Europeans must charge a lot for data still, as here in Californico you can get unlimited for $15 if you know where to go. Also if you're using android you can plug your phone into your PC/laptop and enable USB tethering, which will use your phones data without wasting hotspot data.

>>1602725 >I am a white male more like fwooty gumdwop lmao

>>1603399 I do use USB tethering through my phone so that I don't need to use the shitty touch keyboard of my phone. How comes the mobile data plan in Germany sucks massive cock?

What did they mean by this?

>>1604638 What?

Honestly a crying shame that Superliminal was rather undercooked despite the interesting premise of using forced perspective and trompe-oeil as puzzle elements. Outside of like two puzzle rooms which took me a short while to find out the solution, the game takes 3 hours to complete. Discounted at 7€ on Switch, it was just okay-ish for the novelty but certainly not worth the original price of 18 bucks.

>>1608498 I really liked it despite being short, got it on sale too a long time ago. Some of the more secretive parts of the game were neat and having another layer beyond the normal game would have helped a ton, but sadly the writing had to be very tongue in cheek and one note otherwise the whole presentation would have fallen apart. Speedrunning through the game also makes it really simple how many of the puzzles rely on the same trick and how little experimentation there was by like the halfway point. Still fun though, it's probably the best proof of concept I've seen for really surreal mechanics working since Portal or the mini planet part of the original Prey.

>>1588882 >I responded to him like a retard when he messaged me again >he won't stop bothering me >he bought a game I've been playing and wants to play with me tomorrow >I'm too much of a pushover to just say "hey man I don't want to" life is pain I hate everyone I hate everything I hate people I hate it I hate it fuck

>>1610043 >I alt tabbed out of my game to make this post >it froze and crashed and I lost my fucking run AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>1597802 I triggered a word filter by accident. Apparently typing "cheese pizza" doles out a 3 month automatically. Someone had posted a thread showcasing porn of Pauline from the new Donkey Kong game, and some sicko crossed a line by posting actual cheese pizza, and I called the sicko out for it.

>>1610395 Shouldn't have called out the mossad agent

>>1604728 First image looks like the woman who shot up a jewtube HQ. >>1608498 >>1608561 >best proof of concept Yeah it is a fun game, but it definitely feels like they could have done more with the idea. >>1610188 (checked) >cuckchan continues to decline I haven't been there since gaymergay and I really don't want to see just how bad it is has gotten by now. >>1610313 >PPH A shame that so many willingly went back to that shithole after learning about other places they could have populated that do not actively hate them for existing.

>>1610043 Just go offline or say you're busy you fucking autist. >>1610051 Now that's real pain!

>>1611613 I'm just terrible at turning people down. That's a problem in a lot of areas since it makes it hard to set boundaries and it feels like I'm at the whim of other people but it comes from not wanting to disappoint them, and also with how hard it is to actually make lasting friends nowadays so I try to force myself to interact just to see how things go. And also on the weekends when I drink a lot I end up getting way more friendly and social than usual and end up talking to people ingame and adding them as friends. Then I have a hard time keeping in touch or actually enjoying playing together during the week. blogpost over

>/v/ - Music Nine Inch Nails is doing the music for the new Tron? Weird pick, I guess Disney had to go with somebody influential now Daft Punk broke up. Sorry for the fucking obnoxious lyric video. The first song released is alright, it sounds like a blend of Hesitation Marks, Bad Witch, and The Slip. Despite its heavy synth/electronic production, one album it doesn't sound like is Pretty Hate Machine. If I'm not mistaken, isn't this the first time they've done a soundtrack officially as Nine Inch Nails since Quake? They've scored a whole bunch of movies but always as themselves, not as the band.

>>343401 Any Anon with some "comfy vidya setting" pictures to share? Just some pictures of people's homely gaming setup that feel so comfy to look at. I vaguely remember seeing a picture of some eastern European guy playing Heroes of Might and Magic on laptop, with a bottle of booze and some salami on a train and thinking, 'Fuck, that looks so comfy'. I might use those pictures as inspiration to change interior of my room.

I discovered Elina had a sequel called Elin. Is it good? Can you do stupid things with it that are incredibly fun?

>>1619752 Like a battlestation thread but specifically comfy? That sounds chill.

>>1620165 I still haven't had time to really sit down with Elin like I have with Elona, but what little I did play I enjoyed. You might find more info in the thread >>1043639

>>1620165 According to Sseth, you can https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=C1WpNEt51UU

>>1621489 >>1620782 I just want to make experiments and fusions as a manly alchemist, maybe even create a bag of holding.

This isn't the meta thread desu

Get in, we're playing Jackbox: https://cytu.be/r/jackbox1

>>1626783 I missed it :(

The reason I have never drank alcohol is because I fear I would start screaming "I HATE NIGGERS! I HATE NIGGERS!!" at the top of my lungs in front of everyone if I get drunk.

>>1627909 >I fear I would start screaming "I HATE NIGGERS! I HATE NIGGERS!!" May I ask how likely is that to happen?

>>1628212 I regularly think of doing that in public spaces because I think it would be funny so I'll probably actually end up doing it if I get drunk

>>1627909 >>1628247 Autism

>>1627909 Same. I have never drank and I'm terrified at the idea of having even less impulse control.

>>1627909 A good alcoholic drink it to be enjoyed for it's taste, nor to get you drunk. For instance, right now I am enjoying a Negroni, as it is one of my favorite cocktails.

>>1627909 Unless you are getting blackout levels of drunk, you don't usually need to worry about that.

Remember to store your saves Anon! Don't be a dummy like me and lose your progress in games for no good reason. >>1628247 To be fair Anon, you do understand it's something you shouldn't do. So I'd say go ahead and have a few glasses of beer. You can feel how drunk you are in the way you move and how your head feels, and do stay away from public spaces.

>>1628643 I've lost my save of Mother 3 no less than three (3) times which has cured me from trying to complete the game.

>>1628247 I'll drink for you don't worry. Currently drinking red californian wine.

>>1628399 I have such high levels of stress and impulse control that even blacking out doesn't affect my cognition, to the point barely anyone notices I'm even drunk. Still affects my bladder and motor skills unfortunately.

>>1628643 Honestly, once I beat a game I immediately delete all my progress. For some reason I just get bored with a 100% profile sitting on my drive. Would rather start from scratch and enjoy it all over again. Explains my love of randomizers, when you think about it.

>>1615508 He keeps messaging me like every other day asking if I'm free to play something with him. I know it doesn't make me an asshole to ignore him or block him at this point but it makes me feel like one because I've been on the other end of that before and know how it feels, and I think he only has like a handful of other friends. I want to be some good guy that makes time for everyone and be a good friend but between work and life and my usual friends and gaming for myself I can't. I think I'm just making up some dumb excuse to avoid outright telling him off because it'll make me feel like an ass for a day or two. But also he keeps sending me pity messages like "hey man you free?" "I guess not, maybe I'll just have to play alone then..." and it's why I think he's annoying beyond just being immediately clingy. People are so god damn annoying and I hate social gaming and whatever I'm just yelling at the sky here. Thank you for coming to my TED FAG Talk.

>>1634893 I have been that friend for sure (and still am lol), it really sucks being lonely Although i don't go "oh...i'm alone then" i just usually suck it up and say "ah, okay sorry then, may be some other time" (and then subsequently feel like hating myself internally for not being good enough for their time or whatever bullshit my depression spouts that may or may not be true)

>>1627909 >>1628332 Not to mention drunk texting your ex or worse, relatives

Something I've never been able to comprehended is the fact that there are some anons here who somehow managed to get married and have children. How the fuck do you do it? Do you just hide your hobby away and if you're lucky share it with your kid at some point once they're old enough? Do women even actually like videogames? I've had relationships and they were absolutely fuck-awful, all of the women I know either think games are retarded or only give a shit when it's Animal Crossing or some shitty phone game. The only woman I know who likes games is some weeb fiance of one of my work friends, and I think I'd kill myself if I had to be living alongside a pocky-gobbling weeaboo every day. It'd be nice to actually have companionship but as the years go on I keep drifting back to the goal of living in a small town far away from everything so I can game and read and jerk off in peace. Don't you fucking tell me "skill issue" you motherfuckers I swear to fuck

>>1641328 In general you sound insufferable to be around so that's likely part of the issue.

>>1641736 Where do you think we are? Tell me something I don't already know.

>>1641923 >Tell me something I don't already know. Despite the name, hermit crabs are not true crabs, they are falseflagging niggers that aren't even crabs proper. They are the jeets of the crab world.

>>1641328 Don't be fat.

>>1641328 Do you enjoy your own company? Be honest.

>>1642260 Huh, I did not know that. >>1642274 Good advice. >>1642284 Of course not, I'm full of self loathing and suicidal ideation. If I wasn't I wouldn't be spending my nights getting drunk and posting on /v/. That wasn't my question though, I was just curious how things actually have worked out for the anons here with a wife and a life.

>>1642284 What kind of question is this? If I was comfortable with my own company, I wouldn't need to get laid, because I'd be already too comfortable with myself

>>1641328 Guys playing videogames is more accepted than ever, even normalfags do it. If vidya is a dealbreaker the girl is just making excuses. What do you do outside vidya and where do you meet these girls you talk about?

>>1642441 >What do you do outside vidya cry myself to sleep

>>1642633 Certainly they are missing out. Seriously there's nothing else?

>>1642633 Just tell them that you also spend your time discussing important topics on anonymous imageboards and you will be in their pants in no time

>>1643804 I tried many times to get something through /soc/ and duolicious but it all fizzles out. I don't got it, women want something, but I don't got it, maybe I'm just too scared of opening up and get laughed at, or make someone awkward. And the time that it could have worked, it felt insanely draining to me, so much so I had to take nightwalks out. IRL I can manage to make decent talk with the other gender, but the time I have to try something beyond gossip, it's all over. Also, going outside I won't find my autismus maximus that has an obnoxious obsession over dumb shit like the TF2 medic or Randy Marsh. I'll just find people that are grossed out and frightened by me, which is why whenever I tried something IRL people would do their absolutely best to avoid me. I'm gonna die jerking off, about two years and a half until wizardry

never played L.A. Noire before, it's been an enjoyable ride so far

>>1644856 It's a great game, but it makes me sad that there's nothing like it out there

What websites would Anons recommend to store your saves at? Catbox only accepts up to 200 MB free — can't criticize its owner, it's fucking expensive. There's Dropbox and MEGA but what if my 90s Japanese games' saves lands me in a blacklist, what then? Albeit me and everyone else on this board are likely already on several lists :^) >>1644734 Death of third spaces irl has hit everyone hard but perhaps autists even more. Where does someone with our level of dedication to gaming even talk irl? Gaming conventions and maybe colleges. If it salves your woes, dating's hard for everyone especially nowadays with so many feckers single even me, ideally you'd perhaps find an equally nerdy woman, but they are difficult to find, and a great deal are either taken or loathe men. Was romance meant to be this frustrating? >>1644856 >one the "chosen" in a screencap >pantsu in the next one Merely a cohencidence. I read the game has detailed facial movements on its characters so as to let you gauge truth from falsehood. What do you think Anon? Do face movements actually help?

>>1644856 Played it for the second time earlier this year and I actually finished it around this time. Very enjoyable game. Was in part motivated by Action Button's review on it, which is a good video if you watch it in parts. >>1647046 The facial movements are still really good for the time, but the facial movements in Death Stranding /DS2 and Last of Us Pt II are definitely more detailed. That said, the amount of detail they were able to capture is pretty insane, but the tells are pretty easy to spot. A big deficit though is that women have to have their hair tied back for their facial capture, so everyone has similar styles. Nobody has those beautiful voluminous styles old Hollywood is known for.

>>1647046 Just use a NAS or a cloud storage service if you're not paranoid about telemetry.

>>1647046 >There's Dropbox and MEGA but what if my 90s Japanese games' saves lands me in a blacklist, what then? Just 7zip them with a password?

>>1647046 Send them to your email.

>>1642320 >curious how things actually have worked out Well, those anons wouldn't self trash for one. Women hate men who complain, self-trash, inflict constant anxiety, degrade themselves, argue, are petty towards other people, look for needless conflict, or come off as clingy, insecure, or emotionally effeminate. Women don't care about alphas, they want tall chill men, if you're the opposite of that then you better have good traits you can leverage, like being funny and as I said, good company. Show me your phenotype and I will construct more advice based on your Physiognomy.

>>1647823 >Women hate men who complain, inflict constant anxiety, argue, are petty towards other people, look for needless conflict. Yet I'm supposed to stuck up for a bitch that does all of this?

>>1647862 >Yet I'm supposed to stuck up for a bitch that does all of this? Women, like niggers, hate each other and yearn to move away from others that behave as such but unfortunately for many find it difficult to drop social aspect of niggerdry and those that do often struggle against other women who themselves act in a manner reminiscent of niggers and drag other women down or punish them for not acting as such.

>>1647862 I think the problem is that you've never fallen in love with a woman before, real or otherwise. I haven't either, so it doesn't make any sense to me as to why should I put up with it as well. I imagine it'd change if I actually find a woman that I like and not just want to stroke my cock to. If I do get desperate enough to married or get a gf of whatever it will be entirely out of the fear of dying alone or something. I'm still in my 20s so it hasn't hit me yet.

>>1648152 HAVE SEX

>>1649495 Abe I know what you did to Hilary Kun...

>Mecharashi has come out, that 3D turn based mech game from the last Steam NextFest. >Oh cool, just lemme download... >Read reviews. >Gacha everywhere. >They put out a demo for NextFest with no Gacha then applied the Gacha on full release.

>>1650108 This is why gacha fags deserve to be bullied.

>>1650108 Is it actual real micro-transaction GAAS systems or just "lol you are forced to use in-game currency to grind more if you want stuff" but otherwise it's still a proper real offline game?

>>1650150 >duplicate character/mech pieces gacha farming for +1 passives, arena ranking system so people swipe their cards for that high rank (arena shop has limited items of course), limited banners, extremely low resources (unless you pay up and juice the resources with premium currency), absolutely outdated energy system (daily 200 energy kek, this was outdated back in 2015), top up shiny signs all over the UI and wattpad levels of writing on the campaign.. It's just bad.

>>1650293 Oh so it actually went full GAAS with real money involved unlike xenoblade. Yeah it's goyslop.

>>1650108 That's some next level evil shit.

Lol what is this? Silent souls?

>>1652388 They literally want the gen alpha audience.

>>1652388 Konami stopped giving a single fuck about their franchises they consider are only popular in the west like MGS and SH. Even castlevania is on a weird gray area where they let westoids deface it freely in exchange of money but so far haven't let westoids deface the games after lords of shadow was such a disaster. Which mind you is rather bizarre when they are fucking draconian with the IPs they care about and are popular in japan like yugioh and choo choo.

>>1652388 Does this mean we are getting an extensive library of animations where a high school girl gets gored by various monsters?

>>1652388 >Silent Hill is now soulshit

>>1652388 I saw the 90$ pricetag and my promptly shidded myself. I'm not paying more than 30$ for a videogame. At least I still have Forbidden Siren 1&2 downloaded to play on my emulator for OG spooky games. >>1653012 Leave it to the blender magicians once her model is scraped from the game, there is some hope.

>>1652388 >Konami could make a Castlevania souls and out Bloodborne the actual Bloodborne and maybe even get the drop on Duskbloods <"LMAO no we'll bend Silent Hill over and fuck it again while it's loved ones watch in horror." Well at least the Souls thread will have something new to talk about now.

>>1652388 I'm absolutely flabbergasted by the state of video games and the internet these days. It feels like every piece of news, every bit of information, the fandom, and the creators are driven by nothing but money and agendas. I grew up playing these games, watching this industry turn into the billion dollar monster it is now. This isn't a new issue, but the complete disregard and contempt for the people who built and shaped video games, along with the fans who supported it for decades before it was "hip" is just staggering. It's frustrating to see people hyping up Battlefield 6 now just because it's "returning to basics" after the developers actively fucked over and mocked the players. It leaves me feeling completely disillusioned with the whole thing. >>1653169 >I'm not paying more than 30$ for a videogame You should pirate everything.

>>1653838 It's a sinking boat anon, they're all struggling financially. You think Bethesda and Activision would willingly sell themselves to Microsoft otherwise? You think E3 dying was just a change of the times? And not just the ESA imploding? You think Ubisoft selling itself to Tencent while Warner Bros Interactive keeps sinking financially and EA is also looking for a buyer is the sign these companies are healthy? It's all posturing to keep the biggest retarded investors on the boat, even their gubminent gibs are less than they used to be. They aren't growing either, it's way less sales with a bunch of whales to cover up the rest, and even that's not working anymore.

>>1653853 https://archive.is/m7xEN I hope more people take a cue from gen z. Between credit card companies coercing sites like steam to pull out games that doesn’t meet their standards, developers trashing decade long franchises and their fanbases, and the absolute mess that is modern "geek" fandom, I’m rooting for it all to implode. Same goes for streamers, they’ve been a major force behind the shit plaguing video vidya, manga, and anime for the past 10+ years.

>>1653458 MARRY AND REPRODUCE ZOOM ZOOMIE

>>1654238 I wonder if this article takes in account Microtransactions or just game purchases in stores/storefronts My Zoomer nephew is fixated on Fortnite and Rocket League only, doesn't even bother to play anything else. >possibly opting for more free-to-play games, buying less expensive indie games, or waiting for sales.

>>1654238 I sometimes think of just fucking off exclusively to military miniatures for good.

>>1653838 Bruhdder you're throwing a tantrum over konami to the surprise of nobody with a brain, once again showing at best disregard, at worst active contempt to their AAA westoid "fans". If you care about vidya you should have given up on AAA shit since the PS3 when DS1, bamham and uncharted basically ruined mainstream gaming.

>>1654420 Even if you account for MTX shit you still will see zoomies and alphies are spending way less on vidya now. Boomers used to buy a single game on christmas and one on their birthday when they were young, then basically bought 2-3 games a month full price when they grew up. Millennials were raised on f2p mobaslop and then grew out to both buy multiple games at full price on release day AND fund the westoid lootbox gambling industry as well as kickstarting the asian gacha industries. Meanwhile you are lucky to see a single zoomer buy a single game at full price on release date, and it's usually pokemon (if male) or animal crossing (if female) while just riding at best the battle passes of shit like fortnite and not much else.

>>1655128 People have been saying that for over a decade though, nothing has changed beyond that. People still play games, I'm not seeing a difference purchase wise.

>>1654329 bruh how did you figure out i was a zoomer also no i'm gonna fap!

>>1653838 >You should pirate everything. I want to support independent devs and the very few good studios left that give me hope like Mobius Digital. The last time I actually bought a triple A game from a big studio was Witcher 3 back in fucking 2016 on a discount and I think it was money well spend on 300+ hours of gameplay. The same way I buy independent music from small artist on Bandcamp from record labels like Cryo Chamber, when some good single dev makes a fun niche game I want to support him to make more games, as long as I know the money is going to him (because I know there are things like Risk of Rain 2 and no one that should get money from Hopoo will get it).

>>1652388 normgroids will still lap it up

>>1656651 Wish more devs would use dark aatmospheric from that label instead of the absolute shiffest of Blumhouse inspired trash that gets shoehorned into every horror game.

>>1657160 fuck, man, I don't watch horror, what's their style?

>>1655629 HAVE SEX YOU FUCKING RETARDED INCEL NEET

>>1654535 People thought tabletop gaming was out of their reach, but they've already taken over 40K and other franchises. It's reached a point where I avoid all the discourse and just enjoy the things I like. The older, the better. >>1655116 >Bruhdder you're throwing a tantrum over konami to the surprise of nobody with a brain The way Silent Hill has been raped and beaten to death hurts me deeply. I can't contain my disappointment and anger over what it’s become and what they’ve done to it. No respect whatsoever for masterpieces. Everything is up for grabs, molded into whatever they need to make it trendy and profit off past glories. >If you care about vidya you should have given up on AAA shit since the PS3 That's exactly what I did. I bought a PS3 in 2010, and it was a huge disappointment. I thought it would be like a PS2 in HD, but it was nothing like that. I ended up using it for RPGs and Japanese imports until it reached the end of its life cycle. >>1656651 >I want to support independent devs and the very few good studios left that give me hope like Mobius Digital I've been fucked over and treated like garbage by devs I used to support and hold in high regard, so I just don't trust any of them anymore. I see your point, though.

wait a fucking minute

>>1658355 Woah woah woah, hold on a second

>>1658367 This was the spirtual successor to Spy Kids, right? Is it really as bad as everybody says? I've never heard anything good about it even though it looks like a fun film.

>>1658355 >>1658367 Oh shit

>>1658461 >This was the spirtual successor to Spy Kids, right? Sort of >Is it really as bad as everybody says? Depends, what are you expecting?

>>1658461 >This was the spirtual successor to Spy Kids, right? It's a shitshow to even try explain because it's officially not a sequel or even a spiritual successor, but there's extremely blatant hints it's on the same universe after the events of spy kids 3, and it's also a spiritual prequel to "we can be heroes" (both shark and lava appear on it) which in turn may connect to "sky high" some-fucking-how. >Is it really as bad as everybody says? Yes, it's pretty dogshit. Imagine a westoid kojimbo copycat wrote a movie about a brat that can warp reality and rewrite history through his dreams and you are somewhat getting the gist of it.

>>1659945 >westoid kojimbo copycat I remember jack shit about this guy's films despite them coming out when I was a kid, but outside of one line from the second Spy Kids, was he that pretentious?

>>1660411 That line was an ad lib by Steve Buscemi that they decided to keep in the film.

>>1660411 Spy kids 1 and 2 weren't that bad, honestly they were rather well written, picrel was probably the most "pretentious" they ever got and even then it wasn't really wrong, just like old kojimbo. At most you could argue SP1 was a little too schizo. He went off the fucking deep end with spy kids 3 onward though, and there's no possible way for me to explain it, just go watch the films, they aren't that long and SP3+SBLG+heroes is barely a weekend for a busy guy.

is this a man?

Might as well post some Aya Nishitani storytime here

Jackbox night is live: https://cytu.be/r/jackbox1

I look up the author of a project on github and it's some variety of a tranny 85% of the time The anubis author is some sort of a tranny nonbinary furry

>>1650108 >>1651471 I remember playing it a bit on mobile when it came out in Japan under the name of "Metal Storm", a while ago. Only knew about that game because of some Japanese dude on Twitter who was pissed off by the state of the Front Mission 3 remake and its battle animations before the nonsensical AI-generated illustrations were later known. It was fun for a moment but it doesn't have the lasting effect like Uma Musume Pretty Derby, which I do continue to play occasionally since early 2024 (especially on job breaks) and don't feel obligated to do the daily tasks. >>1652388 As far as horror games I've recently enjoyed, Crow Country was pretty good (if you're looking for something Silent Hill-esque, it's that one) and Darkwood is particularly unnerving. But like the other anon said, you better stick to the Japanese-centered stuff when it comes to Konami's catalog between Yu-Gi-Oh!, Momotarou Densetsu, Tokimeki Memorial or Shine Post: Be Your Idol!.

>>1661764 yeah, also not gay, has a wife & a kid apparently

God I wish I had a cushy job doing nothing but being a useless piece of shit so I could just play vidya all day

>>1666678 I know the feeling.

>>1666678 You only get those if you are a woman

>>1661764 Yeah he is a man. The art style and color choice definitely makes it look like a woman though. Pic related is him in one of the endings.

>>1661764 >Each time you dick me, I give you a dollar. 🤔

>>1666863 >>1666955 I honestly hate those, fucking mind drain from pretending to be working to socializing to get ahead. Rather a more physical job that tones my body, then I play vidya since my head is clear.

>>1647862 this is why virgins turn into incels so easily women are terrible by default, but they are not stubborn, they are very flexible. Men are supposed to have charisma and authority, fucking use it >boo hoo she's gonna call the cops on me kys >she breaks your balls drop her for another bitch >she's good to you spoil her like a princess not rocket fucking science >>1666678 most of these jobs require literally sellong your soul out being a manager and making your team slave away only for you to gloat before the higher ups and appropriate all the merit i have a friend who does it, he disgusts me

>>1667856 >Really cool, didn't know he was active online. Now that's an understatement. Out of all the MegaTen creators, he's the most twitter-addicted one by far. I think he has tweeted just about every single day for the past few years. >Thanks for sharing. My pleasure.

>>1667897 >women are terrible by default, but they are not stubborn, they are very flexible Ok and how am I supposed to do that, Mr Faggot? Because most of the time I try to coarse someone to my interests its forced as shit.

>>1667941 The only similar interests you should have with a woman is food and morals.

>>1667941 Women don't respect whiney faggots. Try acting less like one, for starters

On a side note, this summer hasn't been too hot (where I live at least) so for once I can spend entire days playan. Usually I have to switch to reading to let my room and computer cool down a bit

>>1671949 kill yourself

Just saw Gamescom, there were no games to be shown. And Resident Evil and a new expansion for Cult of the Lamb

>>1673944 It's just the gameplay showcases during the said event that I plan on checking up, specifically the Switch 2 port of Elden Ring (with a definite release date) and Silksong. For me, the real game-related event will be the Tokyo Game Show 2025 in September 25th ~ 28th

>>1674002 TGS has been terrible for years as well

>>1673944 I feel like westoids haven't released any real games since TLOU 1. Before TLOU you could easily have dozens of games from the west have staying power and in the long run either become cult classics or simple classics, some even became mythical games like oblivion or skyrim itself, maybe new vegas. But after TLOU? Basically nothing they did ever stuck, fallout 4 came and went, so did 74, then starfield barely made a blip on the radar, the indiana jones game did nothing, doom maternal is only ever used as a tool for tech jewtuber benchmarks, dark ages is a worse flop, goyguard is only remembered to be mocked, same with concord and dustborn. Feels like the west just gave up culturally after TLOU 1, or to be more specific, after avengers endgame.

<<1675408 The Last of Us and Endgame are 6 years apart, you have no idea what you are talking about. <but F4, 74, Starfield and Indiana Jones aren't culturally relevant Do you think the entire western market is just Bethesda?

>>1675448 >Do you think the entire western market is just Bethesda? I legitimately can't remember anything else from westoids that isn't bethesdaslop and SIEslop.

>>1675462 >legitimately can't remember anything else from westoids that isn't bethesdaslop and SIEslop. Not even Baldur's Gate 3?

>>1675550 Not until you mentioned it at least. It felt completely forgettable in the long run.

>>1675565 Then how about Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, or maybe even Expedition 33? Though I suspect that any game I were to mention, you will simply dismiss as "having forgotten about it".

>>1675573 >Though I suspect that any game I were to mention, you will simply dismiss as "having forgotten about it". And you would be correct because I don't care much about westoid goyslop. W40k feels like it came and went. E33 also dropped off a cliff once the astroturfing money dried up it seems. That said you somehow reminded me of astro bot, which was a thing I suppose. Also hi fi rush, which was relevant for like a month, and mostly just to (rightfully) whine at microsoft for killing the studio.

>>1675581 Two can play that game, I could just as easily say that Japan hasn't produced a culturally relevant game since Persona 5, and any example you would give, I will retort with me not caring about "jap weeblop". >hi fi rush >astro bot That's jap weebslop, no wonder they don't have cultural relevancy :^)

>>1675605 You sound weirdly upset over this conversation lol.

Is this based or gay?

>>1676274 I found it here. They also have soyjaks in here so they might be not gay trannies at least.

>>1676274 >>1676278 This feels like something a 16-year-old /v/irgin would have made for Vinny Vinesauce to play in 2014 and I say that in the worst way possible. >They soyjaks in here so they might be not gay trannies at least. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>implying

>>1672168 Nah suicide is for losers >>1675581 You're being unfair I agree that the vidya market isn't doing great but you don't have to dismiss every genuine effort as slop.

>>1677176 >I agree that the vidya market isn't doing great but you don't have to dismiss every genuine effort as slop. I have compromise fatigue. If it's doesn't 100% pander specifically to me or at the bare minimum have nothing I actively despise then it's actual slop, it's that simple.

>>1677261 I don't know if you're trolling or not but I've had literally the exact same consideration in my life. There are so many games in existence now that it'd be borderline irresponsible to give any modern ones the time of day when there's almost always an older, more optimized, equally fun equivalent from the past that is guaranteed not to have any retarded tranny or identity politics baked into it.

>>1677341 If I wanted to troll I would just post on 4nigger, I would get more (You)s that way. I'm unironic and 100% serious about my compromise fatigue claim.

>>1678254 it should be socially acceptable to have a qt robot waifu as your soulmate

>>1678594 It should be socially acceptable to put faggots like you in the pillory

>>1678774 >(1)

>>1678815 lurk moar, cuckchanner

>>1677261 ok so you're just trolling why the fuck do cancerous posters have to follow us all the way here and pollute this place as well

what did he mean by this?

I want to have sex with her

>>1682286 The person who made this is probably in their thirties and has 2+ children. Very likely to be divorced.

>>1682269 You probably don't have your sensitivity low enough or your desk in a good position for it to feel right. Depending on your age, switching to arm aiming is like entirely relearning how to aim, which can be a frustrating and laborious process just to get it just as good as your wrist aiming, let alone improving it beyond. Vidya is meant to be fun and you shouldn't follow purely optimal strats if you're not enjoying it. Don't optimize the fun out of gaming.

>>1682304 It's actually a 25 year old flip trannyfaggot from Jew York https://x.com/thatskidding?lang=en

>>1682430 Found the image Turns out it's an actual woman (rare) https://x.com/thatskidding/status/1499638861286281216

>>1682430 It's pretty obvious because scene/emo girls weren't so openly whorish with their clothes.

>>1682489 See >>1682464

>>1682540 She does look like a woman but those "she/they" pronouns throw me off. I've seen ladyboys who look just like her. BTW do you guys think if you dabble too much in niggercattle entertainment, you might accidentally become one?

>>1684551 IMO pixelshit has become quite soulless over the years, at least when it comes to people that just downscale normal sprites instead of sticking to consistent pixel sizes and limited palette colors. Not sure if it will ever happen to low poly shit because at least that needs some effort to do still.

>>1684551 >It's quaint, fun and entertaining. nothing pleasant about warping polygons, ps1 emulators have hacks to remove that for a reason, same with the 4:3 aspect ratio

Hey faggots, what's going on?

>>1346015 >>1350501 Screencapping this for posterity because it's about to get cyclicalled out of the thread.

>>1684849 Hard disagree, I love that z buffer warping shit.

>>1685692 I'm curious as to what is your opinion on games that aimed to get rid of if (and other imperfections like pop in)

>>1684849 >ps1 emulators have hacks to remove that for a reason, Cringe goyslop. The wobble is based as long as it doesn't cause blur (it doesn't on original hardware). >same with the 4:3 aspect ratio Only if the game is designed from the ground up to be widescreen. On PS1-2 widescreen hacks you can really tell the game was designed around that aspect ratio and it shows both in graphics and gameplay.

You know what niggers, let's try something. Give me a game (You) want to play and/or finish, regardless of how popular is it or not, let's make a list. Then let's pretend the mentioned games are coming out on the 31st, with the release hype that entails. Let's make a mini-E3 for the thread.

>>1686633 please don't use 4meme lingo thank you <3 >>1687426 You'd need something more engaged first or people would be confused by the thread.

had some fun today with the recently added uma character for the game's 4.5th anniversary in Japan Pretty funny how they went out of their way to turn the otherwise happy-going SoL title into a horror VN with her campaign story, and using the IRL racing horse's lore as a point of reference. >>1687426 Do you mean upcoming games? Because my personal list looks like this >Marisa of Liartop Mountain >Trails in the Sky 1st remake >Rhythm Heaven Groove >The Adventures of Elliot >Once Upon a Katamari >Majogami >Hollow Knight Silksong From the top of my head

>>1687426 >artificial hype thread for games that aren't even releasing this week >on 8moe /v/, where hopes and dreams died a long time ago I'm pretty sure the oldfags here haven't felt genuine hype in years considering how much everyone shittalks the state of the industry. >>1688717 >mental instability due to a human girlfriend lel. Waifu of the month material.

I wonder what sort of games will be made in 2060

>>1689546 "Hype" is a marketing ploy that has been overplayed to its quick death a long time ago. The way the average normalfags freak out over some new shiny game like it's the second coming of Christ before tossing it away a month later is like watching a group psychosis constantly repeat again and again. I haven't been hyped for anything since I was a kid. And I'm confident the depression is only part of the reason for that.

>Hype on a game It makes me think about how tiny funko pops have ridiculous prices and people will still probably buy it to put in their office or some shit.

>>1688717 Her canonical roommate is the horse that breaks the 4th wall.

Games for this feel?

>>1691559 Reminds me of ff15

>>1691559 man i can smell niggerpill from here

>>1691559 Final Fantasy 15, that game was literally made for a road trip.

>>1689546 Since playing this game I've learned that horses are much stranger creatures than I once thought >>1691437 Neo Universe is one of the few playable characters I don't have yet, but yeah I heard her story campaign is pretty good. I already liked the first fourt chapters of her personal uma story. didn't expect Still in Love to be actually portrayed as an uma with vampire-like attributes, who inflicts a curse by biting on the MC's neck, and a story of love that slowly leads both characters to ruin

>2 more days until the new SRW >still not done the old one (A Portable) I was playing I could just wait to start it but between the demo and the leaks it sounds like they're actually doing something interesting with the plot for once. At least as interesting as they can get with Zeta and CCA (both for the billiionth time) being the only UC stuff.

Hey iOSfags, do webms on this site work with the iPhone yet?

>>1691559 A bunch of near-naked men roughing it across the desert on a road trip? People already suggested FF15 but there's I'd also throw in Mad Max and Fuel in some respect.

this kinda looks nice but is the developer a tranny or a woman? the music's pretty good too for what it is https://slappyhappy2000.itch.io/uncanny-cat-golf

>>1694340 Dev seems to post nothing but music and replies to comments about the game, youtube channel is music only, bluesky and twitter have the same posts. Either a woman or a non-tranny dude. I think non-tranny dude is more likely because the other two options would not have been able to hold seperation to this level without severe autism of a kind that is not inherent to those groups.

Happy CUNY Tuesday, everyone!

>>1694569 😭

>>1691559 Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (1993)

>>1694569 >>1695273 Videogames?

>>1695357 VIDEO GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES Have you played the new Shinobi anon? I played a few hours of it earlier, it was fun.

>>1695357 CUNNYTOADS IS MY FAVORITE VIDEOGAEM! >>1695392 Oh what's it like anon?

>>1692044 Y looks essentially the same as 30, and I expect none of the issues of the modern SRW to be fixed anytime soon, especially the way you're given way too many tools to the point it's not even challenging anymore (regardless of the difficulty). Honestly you better off to continue playing the older SRW games, as in anything before the International era, or even the 2hu fangame mockup known as Gensou Shoujo Taisen (Fantasy Maiden Wars).

>>1695357 Hideo Games

I don't care for the fire emblem engage protagonists. Multiple color hair is for weirdos. Yes, dragon autist was bad, but this does not fire emblem engage me.

>>1695558 i am sorta out of commission because both my computer and laptop decided to stop working recently

>>1694378 I'll give the game a try then

>>1691559 Fallout 2

So, anything good you guys have played recently?

>>1696382 Uncanny Cat Golf

>>1696403 Kino.

>>1695357 Bideo geims.

What is the last game you played and when niggers? Do you even bigeo maves?

>>1696645 Uncanny Cat Golf Yes Yes

>>1696645 rage racer yesterday

>>1696645 Tales of Destiny Director's Cut, yesterday, will play it today as well.

>>343401 Is there something corresponding to a Wii like a Steam Deck of sorts? Cause I would like to set something up but if it's impossible I'll just buy a new Wii.

>>1696645 Yesterday. This Ubislop attempt of BotW. Is not uber terrible.

>>1696645 My brother got me Shadow of War so I've been playing orc pokemon. Then I played some Attack on Toys to get my plastic army men fix. I was also playing some C&C Zero Hour with the shockwave mod that an anon posted in the rts thread.

>>1696645 I play multiple of the same handful of video games everyday

>>1696645 What the fuck is a video game?

>>1697654 >Winter Assault >Theme plays when the guard does a cool thing. I wish the later expansions retained that.

>>1697126 Oh I have this in my backlog. Got it as a Christmas present. How is it?

>>1699235 Everything as an Asscreed + an attempt to mimic breath of the wild is not like is travesty or anything. Enjoyable if you want a game to just wander around and collect shit to unlock upgrades.

>>1699275 I have seen worse filler games. Sounds passable at least.

>>1696645 I've been playing through Pokèmon Black version. I got Sun/Ultra Sun and Y versions as well i will play later after completion. Thinking of buying the Silk Song game and playing that on the 7th?

>>1701345 >Hollow Meme

>>1701611 Seen a few gameplay videos but I don't find anything offensive about the Bug Knight game.

>>1694569 Kill yourself.

>>1696645 Finished Dawn of War: Dark Crusade for the 6th time using the re-release. Used the Spess Muhreens this time, makes the game a cakewalk, especially compared to Tau and IG.

>>1705138 There's nothing offensive about it, although it is a meme.

Left 8chan and went back to posting in my containment general back in 4chan since mid June, realized how abysmal it was and decided to stay anyway for some stupid reason because I wasn't even in discomfort with 8chan and I swore never returning to 4chan in the first place. Just now I'm making my way back here after realizing how much I was hurting myself just by checking in 4chan and that I seriously didn't need to be there. Can somebody call me at least 5 different insults and slurs just so I can close the cycle? Please, just hit me with the shovel, I feel like a retard...

>>1705709 uuu little stupid baby

>>1705709 You don't need insults, you just need to meditate.

>>1705709 >Can somebody call me at least 5 different insults and slurs Nah Just be better

>>1705709 Would posting a Steam Chart would make you feel better?

>>1705709 Okay but fair warning, I'm not gonna hold back on any of these. Partially spoilered for anyone at work: stinker goober silly billy funny goose dumdum

>>1705709 Ass munching fat nigger retard

>>1705709 Legit question, the fuck did you think was gonna happen when basically all boards on 4chan have been slowly but surely hemorrhaging qualityposters either to this place or simply the void and leaving nothing but the pajeets and israel bots?

>>1705718 >>1705724 >>1705727 >>1705881 >>1706288 I don't know why I left this place, you guys are far too nice, man... I'll be better, for my own sake, thank you. >Would posting a Steam Chart would make you feel better? I don't see how that would do anything, but feel free to post it. >>1706308 Thanks. >>1706441 My man, that is a very good question, I genuinely don't know what I was expecting, I suppose I was just being too hopeful.

>>1706507 Hopefully you are better off from now on that you dropped 4chan again.

>>1706576 NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO STOP BULLYING HER!!!

>>1706441 Have more niche boards gone to shit in recent years too? I remember even 4/v/'s cousin boards like /vr/ having at least some decent discussions going on when I last visited a few years ago. Is the entire website unsalvageable by now?

>>1706946 The extremely small niche ones, like /vm/ and the handful of people there hosting and playing games together.

>>1706946 From my experience, it's a really mixed bag. About half of them are completely dead due to either moving over to here, or simply dying out entirely after the hack. Half of them still continue on almost like nothing happened but still suffer from less people.

Is .se down?

>>1707067 Globally this time

>>1706946 The only decent one is /m/ and even then you'll find many of the same retarded brownoids depending on the thread.

>>1706946 last i checked the niche boards were the only ones that had semi decent traffic that weren't complete zoomer retards, but I'm not a fan of the fact that I ccan't use a VPN to post on that website soooooo cest la vie. >>1705709 I'm here you fucking retard. Honestly, I'm here because the takes are less retarded than reddit, for the most part. Or at least, people are willing to at least hear you out here, even if you're wrong. zoomer retards on their phone who don't get it choke 4chan in droves now, so it's not quite what it used to be regardless

https://cytu.be/r/jackbox1 The last Jackbox stream for August begins now

Can you change the battery in a PS4 controller? Mine seems to be discharging too quickly. I think it's kaput or close to it.

>>1709428 you can, its not soldered either

>>1709428 >Can you change the battery in a PS4 controller Yes you can, it's similar to changing the PS3's controller battery Check your controller model first though. 1st Gen (CUH-ZCT1U) https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/DualShock+4+(CUH-ZCT1U)+Battery+Replacement/22074 2nd Gen (CHU-ZCT2U) https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/DualShock+4+CHU-ZCT2U+Battery+Replacement/138739

>>1709428 Just be careful, the easy part is actually changing the battery, but the hard part is opening and closing back the controller, especially be careful with the triggers because snoy are fucking niggers, if you can do it in one of those meme work mats or you WILL have the springs fly around and you will spend hours searching for them. Speaking from personal experience.

>>1705709 Welcome back you dopey nigger. Enjoy the slower posting and do something in the downtime like reading fucking book please someone post on >>>/lit/ or actually play vidya instead of posting 24/7 like a brain rotted zoomer.

>>1706946 I personally wouldn't know, I was limited to just my containment general back in /vg/ and I didn't even want to go anywhere near /ic/. That said, I did get some meaningful discussions from branching off to the /hpgg/ (because I was bored and then realize those guys were fellow kin) and the /hbg/ of /vr/ (to bitch and whine about X-Fusion having my heart for the entirety of the game and smash it against the nearest wall during the very last portion of the game). >>1706972 It would be nice to play games together, actually. Has anyone here ever tried setting up an Archipelago run? >>1708908 Or at least, people are willing to at least hear you out here, even if you're wrong. That is something I noticed, people are not willing to discuss over there, they just want their ragebaiting, their gotchas and "winning" arguments. Once you try to get a decent discussion either you are ignored or TLDR'd. >>1710546 >spoiler I don't think you want me over there... even though I saw you have an AO3 thread. And if you can also discuss worldbuilding for OC projects over there, then I will keep /lit/ in mind, I could use some inputs on my setup.

>>1710964 That's another thing I noticed. People talk about how "understanding" reddit is or whatever, but their heels dig in even deeper or they dogpile you if you don't agree with the hivemind IMMEDIATELY. There is no nuance on reddit, and it shows in how they interact with the rest of the world as well (such as their politics). I'm convinced most of the subreddits for the bigger games are filled with people that don't have original thought or actually play games, just people that parrot the same fucking clickbait youtubers/twitch streamers that they watch.

>>343401 There's this song that's stuck in my head, and I think it's a soundtrack from JRPG? I cannot be sure. The only part of the song that constantly loops inside my head is its melancholic intro, that goes "du- du- du- dududu- du- du- du- dududu-", and I can't even be sure if it's female vocal or instrument. I know it's incredibly vague.... But does it ring any bell to anybody?

>>1712430 Honestly? That's to vague. That could be anything from 'oblivion - Harvest Dawn' to 'wild arms - town theme' and anything beyond.

>>1712430 >>1712468 I don't have any musical skill, so best I can do to recreate what it sounds like is knocking on my desk like I'm sending out some cryptic morse code.... I hope this is at least somewhat helpful.

>>1712526 Still not enough bro.

>>1712538 ...Try humming or whistling

>>1711071 I feel it all comes down to what I said, most people out there don't seem to be willing to have a conversation. They just want something out of you, be in the form of petty arguing or ragebaiting, they are not willing to talk like regular humans, which honestly sucks. I can take this place being slow as long as people are willing to talk and have a genuine discussion. Not that I had a problem with the slowness anyway. Would be nice to have a place to talk about Mario, doe, but the general here seems to be kind of dead.

>>1712430 >>1712468 >>1712526 >>1712538 >>1712592 >>1713313 AAAAAAAA I REMEMBER WHERE IT'S FROM NOW! It was OST from Kojima's Policenauts. Give it a listen boys, it's a nice blast from 90's Japan.

>>1713398 There is nothing stopping you from making a Mario thread, just look at the Halo thread >>>1626346 . Just call it a "thread" instead of "general", put 5 relevant pictures in the OP, don't forget the Subject field, very important, and please make the OP at least one paragraph in length. With that you will be golden. Worst case scenario, you will make a shit OP, people will shit on it, the mods will delete it, but here is the thing, you can try again, there is no rule against remaking a better OP. Regarding the "at least one paragraph in length" suggestion, think of it this way, there is no rush, nobody is forcing you to make a quick and dirty thread, if it's a good thread it will be here for a few months, so why not make it look good, as the OP is the advertising billboard, and if you like Mario I am sure there are things for you to say. You can start the OP with a short description of the latest Mario game you have been playing, both positives and negatives, ask other anons what their opinions are and end it with "This thread is also a general discussion for Mario related games", if you really want to sneak in the word "general" in. Good luck anon!

>>1713625 Hmmm, I might make a thread alright, thanks for the advices, anon! It's worth a shot trying to get discussion running.

>>1713686 Another way you could do the OP, is to talk what you generally like about the Mario series, some of your favorite games, what elements they have in common, what games you think are not that good(excluding spin-offs like those Mario educational games) and so on. Of course there are other ways of making good OPs, these are some suggestions, not rules, but again if you have something to say about Mario, then I am sure you can write more than one sentence. Another thing to keep in mind, is that in the beginning you will have to spend some extra effort nurturing the thread, as in try to give replies to the first few posters in your thread with the same ID as your OP(so don't immediately change your IP). This will show that you are willing to have a discussion with anons, and after 10-20 posts the thread will have a life of it's own, and it's ok to switch your IP if you really don't like the ID system. In the past I have mocked some OPs that were just "What do you think of X game?" with no other replies from OP in the thread, and besides calling it a ">(1) and done", I might also ask OP "What do (You) think of X?", either to show people that OP is not willing to engage in the discussion, or maybe even give Op the chance to actually participate in the discussion. I think this is more of a mentality thing, the OP isn't meant to just be a lobby you opened, and people will just participate due to induced demand, but more of a conversation that you are interested in starting, and willing to engage with. I know I wrote a lot, and might seem like making a good OP is hard science, so I will reduce it to "Talk passionately about what you like, and engage with other anons about your passion".

>>1713704 (NTA) Some completely unsolicited advice: a lot of the time it doesn't matter what the OP is as long as it provides enough to springboard a conversation off of. Ex: call it a Mario thread and have the OP be all about how Sunshine is your favorite in the series and why you wish Nintendo made a sequel, that way there's already a direct conversation to reply to/argue for or against and anyone who wants to post about Mario can contribute since it's the subject anyway. Just talk about what you want to talk about, but show that there's at least some thought and effort behind it.

Going to be spending the next week or so stuck with just my rinky-dink laptop I got off of Amazon to keep me entertained. What are some good low-spec games you guys can recommend that would be fun to play on a laptop (mainly keyboard/trackpad) and ideally also on Linux, since that's what I have installed on this thing. Slay the Spire has worked pretty great so far, especially since it's turn-based and mainly click-only.

>>1718388 Flatout 2 runs on about anything, Torchlight 2 as well but run it through Proton as the Linux native runs like shit.

>>1718469 >System Shock 2 >A relatively fast-paced, mouse-heavy fps >On a trackpad Th-thanks, you t-too... >>1718607 I didn't consider the Fallout games. May as well give the first two another try since I only got about halfway with them a few years back.

>>1718388 dirt 1

>>1718645 Fuck, I missed that, my bad Why not use a mouse? Is it one of those new pieces of shit with no USB port?

>>1718645 Anon, read it again, he said FlatOut2, not Fallout 2.

>>1718665 Sure, if it runs fine enough I'll give that a go. >>1718675 No, it's just that I don't really have desk or table to set up at is all. Point & click games and dungeon crawlers are actually both really good ideas based on those suggestions btw, thanks. I'll look for something along those lines. >>1718677 Oh, whoops. Damn, my eyes aren't working too good. Thanks guys!

>>1718677 >>1718689 Yeah I meant Flatout 2, though Fallout isn't a bad idea. I used to play it regularly on my really old xp laptop back in the day. Though the Intel Extreme Graphics didn't like playing at the full laptop resolution (1440x1050), and would suffer severe slowdowns, but I did it anyways. I also played a lot of Doom, Duke3d, Unreal Gold, Midtown Madness, and various other DOS games and Win 9x games I had lying around on CDs. Also ran PS1 emulators on it with Spyro 1 barely running at full speed but it did it, and was actually very controllable on a keyboard.

>>1719301 Just make a thread here about it.

Some more Aya Nishitani storytime >>1718388 Shin Megami Tensei

The fact that so many people downloading Silksong brought down storefronts on a weekday worries me a little.

>>1723092 Why? People can literally buy games from their phone nowadays. I bought Broken Arrow during lunch break

>>1723106 I don't think buying is what overwhelms the fronts tho, is the downloading. Then again the game is only around 8gbs

>>1723121 Damn I thought it'd be like 800MB-1.2GB or something.

>>1705201 Kill yourself kiwitranny

>>1694569 >>1723619 GOD I LOVE CUNNY! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SOON IT WILL BE CUNNYWEEN!

>>1722939 >That book obi I don't know japanese but I guess it says something like "the story that inspired the popular RPG!". Feels weird that that's the extent of Lovecraft's popularity over there. >>1723901 Keep up the good work.

>>1723901 Cunnyween? More like Hallowpeen, because my cock's going to be completely empty by the end of it. 😭
