i mean he is also a kid. that’s a significant part of his character.

Anyway, not really related but this is the guy who wrote the first two Black Ops games. If you were wondering.

literally soul-killing to be working on that game and able to see the specific events and movies and state department narratives that every single level was cribbing from and not be able to say anything because no one fucking cares. Like having the CIA protagonist allying with a group that’s clearly a stand in for the PKK but also a level where the plot twist villain turns into Assad by Gassing His Own People and the fact that battle royale map was explicitly (as in that was its dev name and the layout is the same) based on Donetsk well before the Russian invasion like why did that not raise any alarms??

if i had to guess, this is a confluence of byzantine platform vendor requirements and wanting to dedicate as few development resources to maintenance of a 15 year old game as possible.

have you already played DQII? I don’t have direct experience with the series, but I’ve heard that’s when it really gets the DQ template down

i don’t think taking the children’s RPG too seriously is nazi behavior

ya know, in comparison, this site ain’t so bad

man, now thats a gaming classic

“um but someone might play them”

they introduce 3 to 10 new bit characters every game. they can’t all be part of the core cast in a series with so little actual plot.

100% lol. I can believe he’s not particularly transphobic, but this doesn’t read like him, and he’s really not given to making statements like this.

it had its own internal fan and if you put it on carpet it overheated and cut the power. just a masterpiece of industrial design.

boy there’s a lot of nazis on that site

nintendo shouldn’t be allowed to sue anyone. I should be allowed to sue the developers of unfunny streambait games that look like shit that i have to hear about for a month.

i’ve been yabked about like a little doggy on a leash

no i think that still counts as a hobby. the nature of hobbies is that most of them are uninteresting to people who do not share those hobbies. model trains is like the platonic “hobby” and it’s mostly solitary. i don’t know where you got the idea that the hobby is a natural, pre-social category that has been misrepresented under capitalism. if anything, it’s the capitalist separation of pleasure activities and work activities which gives us the concept in the first place.

additionally, i’m not sure what conception of “material value” you’re using, or why that would be necessary to hobbies. like, you have to be able to sell it on the open market for it to be a hobby? is going for walks a hobby? certainly not in common usage. what about hiking? is smashing mailboxes in the dead of night a hobby? is doing whip its a hobby? what about my personal vice, trading card games? that’s very social and very material, and my first hand observation is that it is ideologically aligned with the reification of intellectual property and empowerment of corporations.

miku is cool and real

with the final demise of video game magazines, it rests on us gamers to usher in the era… of the video game ZINE

it’s a funny song and i like his musical work but also i think it’s interesting that well after he recorded this, Rovics has fully become an anti-cancel culture crusader after his fellow anarchists criticized him for befriending and promoting actual nazis
