>>1014534 Hello from Washington State

>>1014552 >40 hours a week Lmao. NEETism is just the natural reaction to Amerilard corporate culture. Pretty much almost everywhere else in the first world works 35-38 hour weeks before overtime kicks in, and has about of month of vacation days as the standard minimum, whereas in the US, something like 5 vacations days is standard and sick days might not even exist. Amerifats are slaves in the classical wagie sense, but you can't legally mandate companies not treat them that way because that's communism. >Just find another company, it's a free country, you communist bastard! Treating your workers like slaves is the most profitable business structure for 50% of jobs. Employees have no workers rights and no negotiating power in those 50% of cases, which is why wages for the bottom 50% of Americans have stagnated for the last 50 years while wages and profits for the top 50% have risen naturally with inflation. If they band together and form a union, that's communism too, on top of the union quickly being corrupted and just becoming leech organization equivalent to HR that's looking out for the company's bottom line, not the workers' well being. Straight out absolute communism is obviously not the answer, but commies aren't wholly wrong about that whole "late stage capitalism" line either. If you don't have solid labor laws, half or more of your country will become a slave class. On the topic, here's some commie cats.

>>1014534 >get back to work you fucking slackers Sunday is a day of rest. >>1014563 A friend brought over Sunshine and I had fun with it even if I only played a bit of it. I should go back and try it now that I remember it exists.

>>1014539 I'm pretty sure the original Japanese was less raunchy/explicit that that old fan translation. >>1014568 Logically, a government should pass and enforce laws that keep its taxpaying citizens alive so that they can keep paying taxes. However, if a government does that today it will be attacked for being "authoritarian".

>>1014594 >Logically, a government should pass and enforce laws that keep its taxpaying citizens alive so that they can keep paying taxes. However, if a government does that today it will be attacked for being "authoritarian". That's an issue with both the US and various Euro governments. Also, China hardly passes any laws to keep its tax payers alive and their government seems to get by and get away with being authoritarian.

>>1014568 I'd fuck that cat.

>>1014568 Being a NEET has nothing to do with corporate culture for 99% of legitimate NEETs. They're all just undersocialized people who have likely barely if ever participated in society to begin with by growing up on the internet. The kind of NEET you're describing is an extreme outlier. The vast majority of NEET's can and would evidently thrive fine on a part time low wage job, considering they're actively living on no income at all. Your logic makes no sense. The only people that kvetch about the state of jobs in America are people that are financially illiterate and have made extremely irresponsible decisions throughout their lives.

>>1014610 >The vast majority of NEET's can and would evidently thrive fine on a part time low wage job, considering they're actively living on no income at all. You mean living on their family's income.

>>1014568 >Treating your workers like slaves is the most profitable business structure for 50% of jobs [Citation needed] Slavery implies they have no other choice. These people can always leave whenever they want and find another job elsewhere. America isn't like West Taiwan were workers have the choice of building an iPhone for $0.02/hour or being carted off to the re-education camps. >>1014594 >Logically, a government should pass and enforce laws that keep its taxpaying citizens alive so that they can keep paying taxes. Anon, the people actually paying the fucking taxes are the rich and wealthy because they're the only people who have money that can be taxed in the first place. Look up a chart of almost any nation listing who pays for majority of the taxes, and the results always show that it's the top 10% of income earners who pay anywhere from 55%-90% of the nation's taxes: https://archive.ph/0InDc <Make the rich pay their fair share? For Democrats, liberals and Occupy protesters, it may be surprising to find out that the wealthiest 10 percent of Americans already pay more than 70 percent of federal income taxes in the United States, according to the Tax Foundation. The numbers suggest their tax burden continues to rise. <In 1986, the top 10 percent paid 54.6 percent, while the bottom 90 percent paid 45.3 of all federal income taxes. Twenty-four years later, the gap in taxes paid widened between the rich and everyone else. The bottom 90 percent now pay for 29.4 of all income taxes and 47 percent of Americans hardly pay anything at all. <These findings are similar to what the Heritage Foundation published in 2010. It also found that the top 10 percent of income earners paid 71 percent of all federal income taxes and earned 43 percent of all income. The bottom 50 percent paid only two percent of incomes and garnered 13 percent of total income. The irony about this is that European economists in Socialist nations like Sweden and Denmark realized this when their economies screeched to a halt in response to the widespread Socialist polices they were implementing during 60's and 70's (Not to mention the wealth fleeing those countries since, well, the wealthy had more than enough money to leave the country). And they've only since recovered when they began repealling/reforming those policies in the 90's.

>>1014615 Typically, yes.

>>1014610 It's just the nature of time economies that NEET culture takes over message boards. I work full-time, have a wife, 3 kids, can't post much, and I'm here on a Sunday. You'll hear the least from people with my profile because we're the most busy, and the most from NEETs because they're the least busy. Old school style forums showed people's post counts and NEETs had thousands of them.

>>1014620 >Slavery implies they have no other choice. These people can always leave whenever they want and find another job elsewhere. A kneejerk generic response. The kind of thing I'd expect from a wealthy boomer that got in while the economy was good and balks at the idea of office jobs being workable from home. Half the answer to this is in the immediately following sentence you're replying to <Employees have no workers rights and no negotiating power in those 50% of cases, which is why wages for the bottom 50% of Americans have stagnated for the last 50 years while wages and profits for the top 50% have risen naturally with inflation. >[Citation needed] https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/ https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/dataviz/dfa/distribute/chart/#range:1989.3,2024.1;quarter:138;series:Net%20worth;demographic:networth;population:1,3,5,7,9;units:shares If it wasn't profitable to treat your workers like shit, then Americans would have similar vacation, hours, and employee benefits in comparison to the rest of the first world. If it wasn't profitable to treat your workers like shit, China's economy would have collapsed decades ago. And it looks like the stats are even worse than I thought. Now there are a multitude of factors contributing to the issue, women coming into the workforce, mass immigration, et cetera, driving down the value of the average worker. But the Euros have those issues too, and "somehow" their average workers work to live instead of living to work, and have a cost of living and non-essential goods that make them essentially wealthier than the average American. >America isn't like West Taiwan were workers have the choice of building an iPhone for $0.02/hour or being carted off to the re-education camps. <Moral relativism Lmao. >Taxes Just taxing the rich harder isn't going to solve anything. It's how taxes are used that is the issue. Americans should be threatening to burn down their government every time it pulls bullshit. Instead they only threaten to burn everything down when a nigger ODs as an excuse to loot and murder. So taxes are just used to line the pockets of "administrators" and politicians rather than their intended purpose. If the funds weren't misappropriated, the average American could have a quality of life equivalent to the Euros for a fraction of the taxes being paid in right now. Pic related for an example of obvious funding misuse. https://investingdoc.com/the-growth-of-administrators-in-health-care/ Whoops. Confused who was talking to who.

Guess they should have listened to Eisenhower about the Military Industrial Complex.

>>1014632 >It's just the nature of time economies that NEET culture takes over message boards. I work full-time, have a wife, 3 kids, can't post much, and I'm here on a Sunday. You'll hear the least from people with my profile because we're the most busy, and the most from NEETs because they're the least busy. Old school style forums showed people's post counts and NEETs had thousands of them. Not just neets, most internet's an echo chamber that reprograms what's "normal" for everything, some media even operates at a loss to do that.

>>1014649 >People act differently online where the veil of anonymity shields them from the repercussions of socially dysfunctional behavior. What a shocking new revelation.

>>1014640 There is no practical difference between people voting for the government to force companies to act a certain way and people forcing that behavior themselves by simply not participating in markets that don't meet their desires. In fact, the latter is significantly easier to achieve than accomplishing a government mandated restructuring of the entire US economy. The reason European countries can afford to operate the way they do is because they are much smaller both in population and in literal land mass and ethnically homogeneous. Geography dictates the economic efficiency of things like healthcare. Not to mention that they completely forgo their entire military budget because the US protects them. You're fucking retarded if you think you can just copy paste economies across completely different continents. There are an infinite number of variables that go into why an economy might be successful in one country but not work in another.

>>1014640 >The kind of thing I'd expect from a wealthy boomer that got in while the economy was good and balks at the idea of office jobs being workable from home. Sounds like you're someone who's never worked a day in his life and never actually told his supervisors to go pound salt. >Americans would have similar vacation, hours, and employee benefits in comparison to the rest of the first world You mean people would be more reliant upon the government and companies rather than being indepedent? >If it wasn't profitable to treat your workers like shit, China's economy would have collapsed decades ago West Taiwan's economy IS collapsing. >But the Euros have those issues too, and "somehow" their average workers work to live instead of living to work, and have a cost of living and non-essential goods that make them essentially wealthier than the average American. Yet their economies are in even worse shape than America. In fact, half the continent is suffering from mass protests and riots. >If the funds weren't misappropriated, Or they could just not be taxed in the first place '''and you let the people decide what "causes" they should donate their money towards. >the average American could have a quality of life equivalent to the Euros for a fraction of the taxes being paid in right now Aren't European taxes 50% compared to (In the wealthier parts) 20% in the states? >>1014648 >If the US wasn't spending billions on a military they're functionally turning into a paper tiger by putting trannies and women into the officer corps and spending it more on infrastructure The government budget is around $7 trillion dollars. Of that amount of money, the amount going towards defense is about 10% ($742 billion). Want to know what takes up about 70% of the government budget: FUCKING WELFARE ($4.8 trillion): https://archive.ph/H51BJ

>>1014655 >simply not participating in markets that don't meet their desires. You mean simply not participating any markets at all. You say this like some people say people can just find another job where you get 35 hour work weeks and month vacation. You're not going to find real alternatives without leaving the country. Or alternatively, you can stand your ground to get what's local fixed. >The reason European countries can afford to operate the way they do is because they are much smaller both in population and in literal land mass [...] Geography dictates the economic efficiency of things like healthcare. The USA is broken up into states, and the larger ones tend to be unpopulated farmlands. >and ethnically homogeneous. Most of them suffer from the same mass immigration the USA does. >Not to mention that they completely forgo their entire military budget because the US protects them. The USA could forgo most its military budget too if it was used properly. >You're fucking retarded if you think you can just copy paste economies across completely different continents. There are an infinite number of variables that go into why an economy might be successful in one country but not work in another. Yeah, America's economy and labor laws are the absolute best they could be for the region. And I think China works the way it does because of where it is too, and no other form of economy or government could work there. Sure. This is an excuse and you know it.

>>1014659 >You say this like some people say people can just find another job where you get 35 hour work weeks and month vacation Who's worry about vacation time? >The USA could forgo most its military budget too if it was used properly. <10% of the American government budget is what's wrong with the country >And I think China works the way it does because of where it is too No, it isn't. West Taiwan is the way it is because of the CCP. It's no coincidence that the monent they openned up and allowed Capitalist companies to take root in the country that they rocketed from sparse struggling farmlands to a manufacturing powerhouse in the span of a decade.

>>1014659 >You mean simply not participating any markets at all. You say this like some people say people can just find another job where you get 35 hour work weeks and month vacation. You're not going to find real alternatives without leaving the country. Or alternatively, you can stand your ground to get what's local fixed. You can unionize, you can strike. There are plenty of methods to influence the markets to reflect what they are truly willing to bear. People just don't want to execute because they are lazy or are actually fine with their compensation. >The USA is broken up into states, and the larger ones tend to be unpopulated farmlands. Uh, yes? Which is why healthcare is so expensive here. It can't be effectively centralized. >Most of them suffer from the same mass immigration the USA does. Oh, so you just have absolutely zero clue what the ethnic makeup of European countries is then. Good to know you're just making shit up as you go to support your narrative. >The USA could forgo most its military budget too if it was used properly. It could, and it would crush the economies of the European countries you're saying operate as successful examples of market socialism. But yes, it would improve the US certainly. It just wouldn't serve to prove your argument in this case as sound. >And I think China works the way it does China works the way it does because they are literal bug people. I don't analyze the behavior of insects to determine the efficiency of free markets.

>>1014663 >China works the way it does because they are literal bug people. I don't analyze the behavior of insects to determine the efficiency of free markets. If you want an example of what "effective bug economics" looks like compare the economies of West Taiwan to that of Singapore and Taiwan.

>>1014658 >Sounds like you're someone who's never worked a day in his life and never actually told his supervisors to go pound salt. Nah. Guess again. >You mean people would be more reliant upon the government and companies rather than being independent? If by independence in the USA, you mean being let go with a zero day notice policy in 99% of companies, meanwhile you're expected to put in a 2 weeks notice or have it reflect badly on future employment prospects, sure. People are reliant on employment, but employment isn't reliant on them because 90% of people are replaceable. >West Taiwan's economy IS collapsing. <JUST TWO MORE WEEKS MONTHS YEARS! They've been collapsing for a very long time then. >Yet their economies are in even worse shape than America. In fact, half the continent is suffering from mass protests and riots. If Americans had any spine, they'd do the same. >Aren't European taxes 50% compared to (In the wealthier parts) 20% in the states? The USA has more wealth though, and so takes in a larger volume of tax money given equal taxes. So only a fraction of what's paid into the US's taxes is needed to match the Euros. >FUCKING WELFARE ($4.8 trillion) Look at how it's broken down though. Medicare and Medicaid, as I showed, aren't actually going to help people, they're going to line the pockets of middlemen administrators. Social Security is fucked six ways to Sunday, a fair chunk of it is tax credits and rebates, "other" is as much as social security, and is probably also an embezzlement black hole. There's tons of room to cut down on spending without fucking over the average person. Most of what's on here isn't simple "FUCKING WELFARE" as the average person would interpret the term, that is, money directly going to lazy niggers living on food stamps, but various other kinds of wasteful spending.

>>1014660 <10% of the American government budget is what's wrong with the country >If you talk about an issue, you must be a one issue fag and not care about anything else Lmao. It's one thing wrong with the country, just like the less than 10% spent on Medicare/Medicaid is also utilized very poorly. >West Taiwan is the way it is because of the CCP. But North America isn't the way it is because the USA? Instead it's that way because of Capitalism? >>1014663 >You can unionize, you can strike. Sounds like communism. Unions are quickly corrupted anyways, and basically become an extension of HR over time. >Uh, yes? Which is why healthcare is so expensive here. It can't be effectively centralized. Then we're in agreement on that. Healthcare should be a state issue because there's too much administration taking massive cuts out of it when it's nationwide. >Oh, so you just have absolutely zero clue what the ethnic makeup of European countries is then. Good to know you're just making shit up as you go to support your narrative. Some of the countries that still have good labor laws include France and Germany, which are absolutely flooded with brownies right now, and would be idyllic work-wise without such retarded bleeding heart immigration laws and policies. They just need free speech too. >market socialism All I've advocated for are better labor laws. Not price fixing. >I don't analyze the behavior of insects to determine the efficiency of free markets. And yet, the the moment they opened up and allowed Capitalist companies to take root in the country they rocketed from sparse struggling farmlands to a manufacturing powerhouse in the span of a decade.

>>1014672 >People are reliant on employment, but employment isn't reliant on them because 90% of people are replaceable. Meanwhile every single place that I left because of them having that mentality no longer exist. Also, there's more than one way to make money. >They've been collapsing for a very long time then. Just how the dollar is collapsing and we'll all be going to the moon on Bitcoin. >If Americans had any spine, they'd do the same. <You're a coward because you are not a political activist Nice try, Lucario!

>>1014679 >Sounds like communism. It sounds like the existence of unions just kind of shit on your entire argument. Communism is when the government prevents companies from firing unions or working to prevent their creation, which we already have laws for. Communism isn't when people freely associate with each other and make collective decisions that will improve their lives. >Unions are quickly corrupted anyways, and basically become an extension of HR over time. Anything is "quickly corrupted". Nothing about a union is more inherently prone to corruption than any other form of collective power. By your standards humans should simply never interface with each other.

>>1014685 >Nice try, Lucario! lol, lmao even. >>1014686 >It sounds like the existence of unions Unions start out with the best of intentions. Everyone I've ever seen on imageboards advocate against Communism for the past few decades has said unions nowadays are nothing but communist parasites that line their own pockets with excessive union dues that hurt worker wages more than the business owners did on their own. You're the very first, which makes me wonder if you're just being contrarian since I took the anti-commie stance that unions are shit.

>>1014694 The majority of people are retarded, which is why they tolerate shit pay. The majority of people are retarded, which is why governments tend to be shit. The majority of people are retarded, which is why unions tend to be corrupt bad for workers. It's not a question about whether or not they're good, it's a question about whether or not you ought to have the freedom to participate in the act. People should be allowed to unionize and strike, and employers should be allowed to fire them if they think that they can save costs by re-hiring a large portion of their work force. If you have highly competent people involved in a union and not heading the corporation, then the union will probably be highly productive. If you have highly competent people heading the corporation, but not the union, then the union will probably be counter-productive. The sentiment is irrelevant to how the free market responds to behavior.

>>1017444 (Wasted) There's a difference between liking monster girls and a straight-up animal with a female sex. Even surface-level furries try to differentiate the two as opposed. Some monster girls have minor features that don't make them stick out too much from humans but others have more features that make them questionably human or something mimicking human form but still recognizable. Anon above has issues with something like a Deathclaw or a Hellhound with barely any human traits beyond facial expressions from what I'm guessing.

>>1017446 There's also a difference between liking monster girls and abominations. You don't realize how far down this slippery slope you've slid, or otherwise you're being intentionally oblivious in order to make a point. Also deathclaws are practically furry at that point, it's just fictional dino-furry.

>>1017455 I'm more of the former since I wasn't trying to be mean-spirited. I guess I have a higher tolerance for more "scary" monster girls.

>>1017455 Scales>fur.

>>1017446 I like both.

>>1017436 I think people very much do judging by some of the threads we have and what our drawfags make >>1017457 Fellow man of culture, I see.

>>1017457 Depends on how smooth or slick the scales are compared to the length or coarseness of the fur. Also i guess the ambient temperature, i'd rather have a fur girl when it's cold. >>1017458

>>1017446 >>1017455 My issue with the furry argument, whenever this comes up, is monsters don't have to inherently be animalistic. They can be abstract, alien, surreal, demonic, or just very strange. "Monster" doesn't automatically equal "literally a big animal". While I like deathclaws I'd argue they're more scalie than monster. I am being somewhat factious with that comment, I have no issue with big tiddy anime girls. It's funny to rile people up over their chosen term and getting the exact same response every time.

Does Unity Engine run like shit in Linux in general?

More of this. season3teams: What fighters are going to be in, what teams will they be rearranged into, and who they are based on since you don't know that unless you've read their character sheets. Stories come from thinking of how they would interact with their teammates and the problems they face together. newcharacters: Let's see if we can steal some new characters and plotlines from SSB4 and Ultimate. So far it's only been Brawl and whoever else I thought might make a good Smash character.

>>1022037 The only reason to play soulslikes is for the bosses. The overworlds are always just tedious bullshit padding.

>>1024000 >Kinda flies in the face of 'men are all unfaithful but theres no way a woman would be', doesn't it? She's not unfaithful though. She explicitly dumps him, but he can't stop chasing her. NTR does not require cheating.

>>1024000 Women get more interest so they're more tempted to infidelity.

>>1024127 It really depends. Attractive men are much more likely to cheat than attractive women, I'd say.

>>1024130 >It really depends. Attractive men are much more likely to cheat than attractive women, I'd say. to admit it maybe

>>1024130 Do this experiment. Go on Tinder and make three profiles of an attractive man, an attractive woman, and an ugly woman. Report back the messages each get. Prepare to be shocked.

>>1024209 You're misunderstanding how relationships work. The question is not whether or not it's easier for women to get laid than men, it's which is more likely to cheat in a committed relationship. Women in general operate within relationships in an extremely transactional manner. They are seeking status, capital, and lineage. Men do not operate like that essentially at all in most cases. To be considered attractive as a man to women you need to be in the 90th percentile. So while you might be able to get more matches as an attractive woman, women aren't men and they don't seek out casual sex in the same way men do. This is amplified by the fact that attractive women tend to naturally gravitate into a higher class of society. Men on the other hand always operate in the same manner. They always want to fuck basically everything all the time. It's a completely different dynamic. And attractive men have a level of access to women that is uniquely exclusive because of the fact women consider 90% of men to be unattractive. Obviously I know that women have 100x the chances for casual sex with basically any guy they want. But you're looking at it from the perspective of a man having those opportunities. Women couldn't care less about the fact they have hundreds of men wanting to fuck them because they don't even think any of them are worthwhile.

>>1024233 You're talking about women monkey branching to another relationship (status, capital, lineage). he's talking about cheating which includes casual sex. Women will cheat with broke retards with no status.

>>1024241 >Everyone will cheat under the right circumstances. This is a completely meaningless sentence. <Everyone will die under the right circumstances Yeah no shit retard. We're talking about probability. >The fact is that monogamy is not something that human beings are disposed toward. This is just some hoax degenerates spun up. There is nothing that indicates humans have any sort of innate bias against monogamy. Even if someone cheats once in a 60 year relationship because of the "availability of a side piece under the right circumstance", the majority of the relationship is still monogamous. People very obviously have a preference for monogamy even if they fucked it up. >>1024247 I'm talking specifically about attractive women and attractive men. All women have essentially equal access to men for casual sex because all men will essentially fuck every woman if offered. But attractive men have unique access to women that 90% of men will never have. Therefore attractive men are more likely to cheat than attractive women.

>>1024264 There's been cannibalism, incest, and human sacrifice in all recorded human history too. But we don't put up with eating grandpa when he's dead, or serial sisterfucking, and we shouldn't put up with cuckoldry just because "it's always happened". It's the difference between civilization and barbarism (basically, don't be a nigger)

>>1024264 Literally nothing about any period in history has ever once indicated that the majority of the population have had a preference for anything except for monogamy. Totalitarian regimes do not represent a populations organic behavior. There are a handful of very specific small regions where monogamy has not been the consistent standard throughout all of history, and that's it. You simply have zero clue what you're talking about to state otherwise.

>>1024269 what if i told you everything old is new again and people thrill at things thatve been repressed in recent human history? also cuckoldry used to just end in murder, we need to bring that back too

>>1024241 >The fact is that monogamy is not something that human beings are disposed toward. >>1024252 >There is nothing that indicates humans have any sort of innate bias against monogamy. You people, monogamy is not an innate thing at all. Marriage is by itself a social institution from the insanely ancient times, yes, in which a woman gets food, most eminently at the time of pregnancy and breastfeeding (when she needs food the most at is the least capable of obtaining it), and the man gets to know who his children are (and to leave his wealth to them). But the limit on how many wives you get is a different social construction (as a note, many tribes have had rules on getting no more than x wives depending on your position). This is, in fact, a social contract between the few men at the top and the rest of the men (women weren't asked, of course): the top men don't hog all the women, and the over guys do not unite and overthrow them. For the woman, becoming a tenth wife of the top guy would still be more beneficial that the only wife of a lowly hunter. "Monogamy is equality between men, polygamy is equality between women" (Robert Wright, in "The Moral Animal"). But women had no power to choose.

>>1024279 Being unfaithful doesn't mean people desire polygamy. If you cheat on your partner 3 times over the course of 60 years you obviously still have a clear preference for spending 99.99% of your life with one person. Most people prefer to build singular primary relationships with people. That is how I'm defining monogamy. No large scale civilization has ever had people actively desire to engage in polygamy, meaning multiple ongoing public facing romantic relationships. That kind of behavior comically rare in humans.

>>1024288 That sounds like communist "dissolve the family" talk. Only marxists and feminists (crypto marxists) talk about Monogamy as undesirable.

>>1024292 You don't deny Marx advocated for the dissolution of the family and thought women should be kept in common?

>>1024279 >because jungle monkeys tribals and "agrarians civilizations" fucked around that means polygamy is natural and those same agrarians and tribes invented the concept of marriage, to show that their wife shouldn't be fucked anymore. I appreciate that you're reading about new things and questioning concepts but you shouldn't accept those questioning views before questioning, dissertation and more research on them too. Nothing condescending, you can ask more

>>1024130 Attractive men can't get fucked by a new person in 10 minutes when they're feeling lonely.

>>1024645 Other men and hoors.

>>1024647 By a new woman. Whores make you chase.

>>1024645 Irrelevant. Women don't seek casual sex at the same rate that men do. The question wasn't who had more opportunities to cheat, it was who is more likely to cheat.

>>1024659 >women don't seek casual sex at the same rate that men do Maybe gay men, but comparing (straight) male to female bodycounts is a morbid exercise in reality.

>>1024669 Straight men and gay men desire casual sex at identical rates. The former just don't have the same level of access. I'm not comparing male and female body counts. I'm saying among the top 10% of attractive men and women in relationships the men are more likely to cheat. You guys keep reading it as something completely different.

>>1024681 And you're the expert on women mister aue contraire?

>>1024674 Do this experiment: >>1024209 You don't understand what's going on until you do. The top 10% of attractive men are not more likely to cheat than the top 10% of attractive women, or even ugly women. You don't understand how often women are pursued.

>>1024695 The only bitch here I see is YOU

>>1022932 I liked her calling me cutie all the time, and the enthusiasm she had when I presented her with new plans. Astergios was ok. I didn't regret the time I spent with it, but there's definitely a lot better games in it's genre - and a hell of a lot worse games.

>>1022932 >>1024708 reminder fuzzy lady smith has a human husband.

>>1019318 Have a reminder of why my stories are text files. My art is worse than the average six-year-old's. I was thinking of drawing a fake manga for the Pokemon parody, but I don't have the talent to pull it off. As for the Zelda parody that I was working on before, I haven't written more than the introduction. And I still don't have long term plot material for Season 3 of the Smash parody.

>>1024681 >Counterpoint. Your standards of women are too high. You don't talk to many if any at all. Doubly so, you won't talk to women you would disregard like hamplanets and crazies. I don't even know what you're trying to say with this post. >>1024687 Once again, you're completely misunderstanding what is being discussed. I'm well aware that women dwarf men by multiple orders of magnitude in their ability to find interested partners in online dating. That has little bearing on what I'm talking about, which is a very specific demographic of men and women. >You don't understand how often women are pursued. Again, this doesn't mean anything because women don't care about being pursued, and actively loath it. You're thinking that women operate like men, and they don't. Ugly women are more likely to cheat than attractive women because they will have a similar level of exposure to attractive men, as men will fuck anything. But attractive men will only settle for attractive women. I can't tell if you're pretending to be retarded at this point because I've explained this like 5 times already. Are you a spic or something?

>>1024758 >women don't care about being pursued, and actively loath it

>>1024758 Women like being wanted, but there's also the factor of they only want men they WANT to want them, and strange men they aren't use to confuses and frightens them, as well as ugly guys who aren't immediate assets. Also women don't know what they want and are constantly hopping from one foot to the other on any and every matter. Bitches ain't nothin' but hoes and tricks, is the major takeaway.

>>1024720 Had a human husband, when she was also still human herself. When she was certain he died, she joined a cult that used the curse to turn her into a furry - which she instantly regretted, and fled the cult to join up with Minerva. There's a quest where you can try to track down her husband and reunite them, only to find out that he really did die after being the subject of strange experimentations.

>>1024769 Second pic nails women. They complain about harassment as a sly boast.

>>1024780 So, she's single? Send bobs and vagene.

>>1024780 really? I saw her with some guy who looked like caesar. Even got screenshots somewhere. Oh well. >>1024785 Funnily enough she has a texture around her groin where her fur meets, where her genitals would be and it looks liek a vagina.

>>1024788 >really? I saw her with some guy who looked like caesar. Even got screenshots somewhere. Oh well. Iraneaus, maybe? I'm not 100% clear on the details, but Myron and a bunch of other prisoners had their souls fused together inside of Iraneaus as a way for the head researcher to study a way to transcend humanity into godhood and escape the curse of Astergios. So there's a little bit of Myron still floating around inside Iraneaus's head - but it's only one of several voices that are all more like a subconscious. So he's dead, but the "echo" of him still exists and draws Iraneaus to Vulcane - but there's nothing romantic there, and I don't think he ever even told her the whole truth.

>>1026315 >>1026358 The MC of the game has the ability to negate mutant powers. It's how he can fug Rogue withotu worry, Kitty doesn't affect him either whereas his clothing is another story. surprised there's no event where she just strips you down then sucks your cock because.. well if you play a while & max out a girls stats they'll get REALLY cock hungry or you can deny them dick (hue) and get their stats up which makes them even more aggressive) fun game even is some of the art since Jean Grey has been bad The creator hates Jean Grey and people kept asking him to add cuckoldry (no really lmao) but he told them all to fuck off he wouldn't do it. So the one we get is more akin to a comic design than the actually attractive & kinda nice Jean it sucks but eh.

>>1026307 >Jubilee's power is shooting sparkles >She also becomes a vampire at one point Can a resident comicsfag tell me if this was before or after Twilight?

>>1026561 2010, so yeah, after twilight.

>>1026561 Jubilee got killed by Xardus or something. The game I linked >>1025968 here has Jubilee as a vampire too. She gets addicted to your touch & you can manipulate her into sex if you desire.

One of the Disco Elysium writers wrote up a "manifesto" about the state of the industry. It's very long so I won't post it all, but this paragraph stuck out to me.

>>1026748 I mean that's kinda obvious but they're still commies so fuck em.

>>1026762 Anon, it's more hypocritical than that. The way that their ideology works in that what the industry is doing is only "evil" because the people in charge are not Socialists. That's literally it. If only "they" were in charge instead of the "greedy Capitalist pigs", then people wouldn't have any issue with the problems that exist in the industry. To put it another way, they think that they're so smart that they should be the ones in charge instead of the people who's entire job is focused upon finding ways to make money from selling a product for the purposes of paying the bills, the taxes, their employees, and their shareholders.

>>1026762 Yeah, but they're right. It really is just an industry acting like a industry

>>1026766 They're elitists through and through. It's not a matter of principle for these people as it is just keeping their people in charge rather than the right people. Why else do you think the media pushed Feminist Frequency so hard, despite not providing anything of merit? It's all a grift to take advantage or a highly successful industry and turn it into some sort of pretentious shlock.

>>1026771 >It's all a grift to take advantage or a highly successful industry and turn it into some sort of pretentious shlock. Despite it being a grift, what I find scary is wondering just how many of the people in the ideology actually follow the ideology because of them being "true believers".

>>1026766 This is and has always been the central problem with Communists. They try to reinvent the wheel, but "now it's a wheel for the people!" or something, but how the mechanics of actually benefitting people work is beyond them. It's all big talk and manifestos and "we need to change the world" but none of them ever have an actual plan for doing anything beyond criticism and preparing to riot. If they get one started, the snake just eats its own tail along with everyone else. Notice that none of these communists start a business and run it as a co-op, an option they've always had. They say they want workers to own the means of production but the moment they have something of value they want to be shareholders and maintain control. >our art has been dressed down into an industry These guys aren't even game designers originally. Games were an industry well before they were art.

>>1026766 Communists are literally an invention of the financial system, it's all just different good kike bad kike shit in the end.

>>1026748 Do these people realize that all of the "human fuel" can just form their own development studios and run them however they want? You could work entirely online, or move to the cheapest region in your country since location is irrelevant to the trade. Software development couldn't possibly be any more suitable for them to operate in whatever commie way they desire, and it's one of the few industries where they might even be able to pull it off. And yet they still choose to work for corpos and cry about how employees are exploited. What goes on in their brain that they refuse accountability and want the government to force them to do things?

>>1026802 >Do these people realize that all of the "human fuel" can just form their own development studios and run them however they want? Because being an indy dev is not just a path to either bankruptcy or getting subsumed into one of the big companies that you had wanted to get away from in the first place. Right?

>>1026805 The price of having your failure subsidized is working under shitty conditions. If you don't want your failure subsidized, then the consequence is failure.

>>1026791 >Notice that none of these communists start a business and run it as a co-op, an option they've always had. They say they want workers to own the means of production but the moment they have something of value they want to be shareholders and maintain control. Lenin actually spells out the exact reason for this in plain English (Technically Russian, but you get the point). The liquification of the state to achieve Marx's Communism is a "two step" process. The first step is the Oppressed overthrowing their Oppressors and gaining control over the Means of production", the part that everyone knows and cares about. The SECOND step (That NO ONE talks about) is then the Oppressed, who are now in power, using every toll at their disposal to stamp out any and all remaining allegiance, loyalty, and thought that ties back to the world as it existed while under the control of the Oppressors. Putting it another way, "True Socialism" cannot be achieved so long as anyone even subconsciously thinks about "Capitalism", therefore the beatings shall continue until you confess your sins. >>1026802 >Do these people realize that all of the "human fuel" can just form their own development studios and run them however they want? Their excuse that the world as it currently exists, under "Capitalism", disenfranchises people from "genuinely" being able to actually run their companies how they want. So they system needs to be overthrown so that you can then run your company according to your "true" and "whole" self. >Software development couldn't possibly be any more suitable for them to operate in whatever commie way they desire, and it's one of the few industries where they might even be able to pull it off. Anon, software deals in absolutes because it's all mathematics and science. This is heresy for Socialists as computers developed under the Oppressors is a sign of discrimination. So "true software development" would not only require the entire field to overhaul itself in order to be more inclusive, but would also require and entirely new form of mathematics and sciences that wasn't created by the Oppressors. >>1026809 >The price of having your failure subsidized is working under shitty conditions. Anon, the fact that you CAN fail "shows" that the world is systemically oppressing you. That's what you need to understand about these people.

>>1026809 There is no realistic way to not "fail" in the current environment. You either go broke or go corporate. There is nothing else. Let's look at it this way--what does "success" in game development look like? Is it having your company become something like Electronic Arts? Is it remaining independent forever and somehow continuing to turn profits while the much bigger fish swim in the same waters? What are some success stories from this century?

>>1026748 I like their blogpost shitting on the glut of procgen games. >Enough with the randomly generated and the procedurally built and the algorithmically assembled. I need to feel that a human being placed that poor goblin — and the Crude Club he drops after I slay him for 1XP — on my path. I want to feel that another soul put thought into crafting this experience for me. It's meaningless if it's just me and the machine. I don't need my time wasted as a service, thank you and I'm more of a DIY kinda guy when it comes to lobotomy.

>>1026819 >Let's look at it this way--what does "success" in game development look like? Making a profitable product. >What are some success stories from this century? Do you want me to list a bunch of random solo developer games that made the dude a millionaire or something? Here's how to be a successful entrepreneur: >make product >have lots of people buy your product Why the fuck are you babbling about retarded shit?

>>1026824 Success: you get money with the company that you made and then leave. It doesn't involve changing anything about the industry or improving the products that get made. >Do you want me to list a bunch of random solo developer games that made the dude a millionaire or something? Show me some game development companies that went from small-time start-ups to "successes" without just going public and becoming what we hate.

>>1026829 >actually success is completely arbitrary so let's sit around throwing out random definitions for it until one of us gets bored of completely shitting up this thread There I summed up the next 3 hours of your attempt at profound economic analysis.

>>1026748 Banal, pretentious, and more than half a decade too late to be relevant. AAA isn't churning out the profits it used to and the industry is not only suffering from execs, but also awful management, brain drain, and budget creep. Not to mention the woke cliques running things into the ground. >>1026802 Well, they did make one game. Then, like any other Not True Socialism, the company spontaneously combusted. >>1026819 Terraria >>1026820 Bad news for you, procgen is already in use for making "handcrafted" games. See that terrain? Computer generated, with minor tweaks afterwards. Those plants? Some company's treegen product at stock settings. That enemy you just fought? Spawned in by script. The rare item that just dropped? Loot tables.

I find it a little surprising how quickly CK3 took over CK2's online presence. Seems in the space of a few months, after its release, the older game was relegated to the history books while CK3 took the spotlight. Now, four years after its release and it's still much the same. Reason I'm surprised is that at the time of the third game's release, CK2 was effectively finished. All its core mechanics had been, for the most part, properly developed and fleshed out; glitches taken care of, there were plenty of alternative-history scenarios to play out, some good mods to try out, and even an in-built randomizer and furry modes. CK3 came out with what? 3d characters and half-assed culture and religion customization? A fraction of the mechanics, and bugs galore. Not to mention a whole new round of DLCs to milk its players. Perhaps I'm giving the same people who like map-drawing with digital cranyons too much credit, but one'd think they at least would be more attached to the money they had already spent. It's like the saying goes, a fool and his money are soon parted.

>>1026768 >Yeah, but they're right No.

>>1026877 (checked) You have to really shit the bed for players to go back to the older game. Even then, you do enough discounts/shilling and you'll pull in fags to the new one even if it is in a rougher/more incomplete state.

>>1026837 There is only one definition of "success," and it has already been given. There is no other kind of success in the industry. Making good stories? Incidental. Creating actually new gaming experiences? Maybe in the first installation of a successful franchise before you begin publicly trading the company and milking the formula for all its worth. Success in the industry has nothing to do with making good games.

>>1026877 Paradox games since CK2 have a shit for brains reddit audience with no taste that will buy every DLC just to boast about it. Paradox Grand Strategy Games went from a solid tight night community of enthusiasts to dumbed down automated DLC skinnerboxes. CK2 to CK3 might as well be a FIFA rooster update.

Apparently some fag on cuckchan /vp/ leaked a whole bunch of Nintendo shit: Switch 2 codename, NDS beta builds, unreleased games, source codes and whatnot and mods are going full scorched earth trying to scrub it all off the site. Anyone know something about this?

hey everybody, have you heard about V I D E O G A M E S?

>>1026985 UNF THICC!!!

I keep hearing people, even on the normalfag portion of the Internet, bemoan how playing games isn't fun anymore. Do you still have a passion for playing video games? If not why?

Obviously. Wouldn't still be here if I didn't. Was just playing some of the AoE2 campaign (DE, admittedly) a few hours ago. I think in their case, they're stuck with a lot of dogshit games. I feel pity for them. All they know how to do is consume the garbage in front of them like whatever new AAA game releases. People just need to find the right games for themselves, if they're gamers to begin with of course. Also >soundless mp4 Come on now.

They need to either give it time to miss games again or ask themselves what they want out of games. Currently I can go days without playing anything, which would be unthinkable when I was younger. There is such a thing as getting into other hobbies.

>>1026994 Gaming is still fun, it's just rare and harder to find. For example, I recently played Space Marine 2 and had a great time. It reminded me of how games used to play, with short levels and chapters instead of being quasi-open world shit. About going up against waves of ayyys with high-powered weaponry. There is still good vidya being made, it's just not being advertised. You have to find it but doing so requires using tools like "recommended" sections in store-fronts that only like to promote AAA shit.

I don't have a passion for constantly playing bideo games anymore, I am suffering from depression for ages which sucks all the joy and happiness of me. I am stuck playing games like minetest and doom since there is nothing else that can keep my interest or the new game I am trying to try out just plain out sucks ass. It's over for me, my life has fallen. I miss being a kid, at least I could binge video games all the time back then and making shitty 3D models, now I am just 30 year old boomer but it feels like I hit the 70's already. Just fuck my shit up

>>1027007 Same. I haven't played a new bideo game since 2010. I refuse this industry a cent, my laptop's too shitty to run them, and Doom will always stay good.

Why are we still awake? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my head... And my eyes... even my fingers... The showers I've shat... the control I've lost... won't stop feeling... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you?

>>1027012 I'm awake because I went to bed early.

>>1026900 >get BTFO so hard you IP hop <still try to pick up exactly where you left off They're not sending their best.

>>1026994 It's not so much that I don't, it's mostly the lack of time for the genre's I like to play or the way I play them.

>>1026994 I wouldn't say passion, in the same way i wouldn't say people have a passion for eating and sleeping. I largely just do it, and find it more engaging than reading or watching videos. I have fun when it's a new thing that doesn't feel completely fucked out, but even when it gets to that point it still feels more fulfilling than anything else. Maybe i'm just addicted. i cant find that barney 'im already dead' image and im too lazy to internet for it, have this instead

>>1026994 I continue to play plenty of different games this year, between the relatively ancient and more recent ones. There isn't a generation without good games, the sole main difference nowadays being most big companies aren't the ones leading in making good games. PC >Lies of P >Earth Defense Force 6 Switch >Kingdom Come Deliverance >Dying Light >Earth Defense Force World Brothers 2 >Batman Arkham Asylum & City (last time I've played them was at least 12 years ago on PC) >Bioshock 1 & 2 >Ace Combat 7 >Gensou Shoujo Taisen -DREAM OF THE STRAY DREAMER- >Black Bird >Super Shaking Girl >Kill the Crows >various demos (Iwakura Aria, Dokyuusei remake, Unicorn Overlord, etc) Emulation >Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 1 & 2 (PS2) >GUNGRAVE (PS2) >Silent Hill 1 (PS1) >Solfege (PSP) I've also been playing Bloodborne on someone's PS5 and enjoyed Uma Musume Pretty Derby on mobile. It's best to avoid looking at gaming as some kind of obligation and forcing yourself when you lack the mood, that's one way to have a burn-out on the hobby. To further agree with >>1027000, engaging yourself in other hobbies (even something as simple as reading and anything linguistic-related, to use my case as an example) is also recommended.

Also should there be a thread about the Pokémon gigaleak?

I just fapped to big fuzzy tits tbh

>>1027041 nice

>>1027041 I can tell by your exact style of shitposting that you're a German. Moot complained about Aussies, but Germans are the real shitposters of the West. Still using Pepe memes long after they've become normalfag shit and trying to relive the glory of KC.

>>1027042 kek >>1027043 Krautchan will never die, I wish I saved more pre-plebbit boland ball pictures tbh

>>1026994 >Do you still have a passion for playing video games? Yes, but the newest games I play are for consoles over a decade old. I missed out on an awful lot of vidya, so I don't really (Though I'd be lying if I didn't say that "I do") agonize much about how newer games being shit since there's so many past games that I want to play.

I am a croatian.

>>1026994 >bemoan how playing games isn't fun anymore Most devs don't prioritize fun anymore. It is all about keeping players engaged with and spending on the product for as long as possible. It is why the few bigger name games that do focus on fun get so much attention from normalfags who have been eating increasingly worse shit for a decade+.

>>1027041 >>1027042 A man of taste!

>>1027063 Disappointing

>>1027084 what's wrong with being croatian?

>>1027487 Everything, but at least you arent turk, or mutt

>>1027500 Hungarians are worse

>>1027500 (checked) >>1027513 KC tier

meh I want to sleep forever. Being alive is hell, can't do anything due to my mood never playing along. And stuck 24/7 with a shitty family that doesn't bother to give me the care I need. If I could I would sleep all the time and do nothing since I am never motivated enough to make shit, i don't even know why I am cursed with depression in the first place and the therapist I went recently was not much of a help to me, my neurologist doesn't bother helping me much either excepting giving me pills that doesn't do shit but I am forced to take them anyway else my fucking parents brings me to the mental ward again if I don't take them. I wish I was a kid again at least I had the energy to do shit every day but now every enjoyment of life has been sucked dry of me like a vampire, I badly want to contribute more with self made content but I just don't have the energy for it anymore. I can't be bothered either just wasting my time with playing doom, other games are not fun at all or doesn't even let me properly customize the keybinding because I am left handed. Doom lost it's appeal to me now, I have pirated so many games yet I never bothered playing them for at least 30 minutes just to see if I can actually enjoy this game or not, it's already annoying as hell that I need to constantly fuck around with the Lutris settings to make the stupid game to run in the first place. Why the fuck is it even possible to develop depression in the first place, that shit shouldn't exist in the first place yet I am cursed with one. I wish I could drink beer all the time and become drunk instead but that only makes me feel more shitty.

>>1027680 >And stuck 24/7 with a shitty family that doesn't bother to give me the care I need What are you a fucking pregnant woman? I hate to break it to you my man because no one has ever or will ever care about what a man wants or needs. That's your responsibility. >therapist I went recently was not much of a help to me The point of therapy, despite what retarded women will tell you, is not to get help. It's to be courteous to the people around you by not putting the weight of your stress on them by venting. The transaction between you and your therapist is you paying to make them listen to your venting. If you expect them to "help" you then you're wasting your time and money. They are no different than you are and have no more insight into life than any other adult would. You need to hate yourself more. Only people who love themselves too much get stuck in depressive ruts. People that genuinely hate themselves wake up at 6 in the morning and run until they taste iron in their mouth.

>>1027680 Get a job already, make yourself usefull, make something of yourself.

>>1027685 Dogshit advice. Live for no one except yourself. Work if you want to achieve or acquire something that demands it. Otherwise just do whatever the fuck you feel like on a whim. No chronically depressed NEET will ever have a desire to organically participate in society for the sake of social validation.

>>1027688 Then lie on a ditch and die.

>>1027689 This is the niggercattle mind at work. If you don't try to "make yourself useful" to other people you should just die. The kind of subhuman whose heart explodes in their 60s because they spent their entire lives with elevated cortisol.

>>1027680 Besides what >>1027683 said, therapist are not allowed to tell you what to do, to avoid manipulating vulnerable clients. At most, though the talks you have with your therapist, you realize what you need to do, but it has to come from your mouth, not from a therapist. The only one who is allowed to tell you what to do, is called a motivational speaker and that's a whole different can of worms, with all sorts of problems, but not inherently bad I personally listened to all sorts of motivational speakers, and I do believe they were a positive influence in my life, but I also know there are plenty of snake-oil salesmen that only care about selling their books. As such, I will take the role of a motivational speaker and say, get your fat ass off your chair, and start providing for yourself, you useless sack of shit. Make your parents proud, and if you hate your parents, then there is no better revenge than massive success. Go take a shower, exercise, put on some clean clothes and go to interviews. If all you can do is McDonalds, then do that shit, while also working on some degree that is actually useful. If that is not an option, then go learn a trade, plumbing, electrician, whatever.

>>1027692 >dont do anything for yourself >dont do anything for others >just bitch and moan because you arent coddled enough This is unjustifable behaviour, anon is clearly purely baggage.

>>1027694 >dont do anything for yourself Who the fuck are you quoting retard?

>>1027695 That anon is a neet that literally lives off his parents and bitches about them telling him to atleast do housechores, this is not the first time he goes on about this.

>>1027696 Did you forget to answer the question? Who are you quoting?

>>1027697 Im talking about >>1027680

>>1027699 My posts explicitly told him to only live for himself, take responsibility for himself, and to abuse degenerate nihilistic self-loathing to manifest stimulating daily activities. Telling a grown NEET to care about producing for other people is a complete waste of time and only demonstrates you have no understanding of how their mind operates.

>>1027701 Ive already told him that multiple times, he doesnt give a shit, he comes here to bitch and moan for pity points, and im not having it anymore.

>>1027683 >What are you a fucking pregnant woman? I hate to break it to you my man because no one has ever or will ever care about what a man wants or needs. That's your responsibility. No I am not a pregnant woman. >The point of therapy, despite what retarded women will tell you, is not to get help. It's to be courteous to the people around you by not putting the weight of your stress on them by venting. The transaction between you and your therapist is you paying to make them listen to your venting. If you expect them to "help" you then you're wasting your time and money. They are no different than you are and have no more insight into life than any other adult would. I am not even paying for the therapist, the health insurance takes care of it. Not that it matters that much now since I don't have any appointment with him since he basically gave up on helping me. >>1027688 (checked) >No chronically depressed NEET will ever have a desire to organically participate in society for the sake of social validation. As if I have gotten ever a social validation, I am pretty much a shut in NEET so not much point for chasing some validations from other people of something that I have never gotten into contact with. >>1027693 Germany doesn't make it really easy to get back into work or getting into apprenticeship when I am living off from social welfare and the jobcenter didn't even gave 2 fucks that I don't even have a main school certification (Hauptschulabschluss). Welp I guess my only options are is to fix my day structure by going regularly to the caritas day care, though this is going to be tough because I sit there all the time alone while the other people are already busy with playing board games there. By tough I mean its going to be boring.

>>1027680 <I advise that you give either of these two books a read.

>>1027713 >As if I have gotten ever a social validation, I am pretty much a shut in NEET so not much point for chasing some validations from other people of something that I have never gotten into contact with. Nothing I said implies you have ever received social validation. And there is absolutely zero logic to "if I've never had something there's no point in seeking it out". Not even being ESL excuses how stupid that sounds. Germans are all fucking idiots though so you probably can't be saved. You're like jews with the level of neuroticism you autistic fucks seem to universally suffer from.

>>1027721 Book recommendations on not being lazy? I used to do 12 hour shifts and now I can barely do 4 hours of honest work without crapping out. Am I just getting old?

>>1027721 Shit I forget about those books, I should read them tomorrow. Not right now since I am trying to get some sleep. Sorry anon. >>1027728 >Nothing I said implies you have ever received social validation. And there is absolutely zero logic to "if I've never had something there's no point in seeking it out". Not even being ESL excuses how stupid that sounds. Well shit. >Germans are all fucking idiots though so you probably can't be saved. You're like jews with the level of neuroticism you autistic fucks seem to universally suffer from. German taxes frfr

>>1026932 Also an important factor. I do wonder what goes on through your average paypig's brain that buying every expansion that Paradox craps out seems like a good idea. At some point, even they have to realize that buying anything that the devs put out just incentivizes shit releases, for an actual example, look at the Sims 4. Hell, I'm still not sure if EUIV is any better than EUIII. Sure has a lot more DLC though. >>1027008 My story's not too different either. Tower's hard-drive has been partially corrupted for a few years now, but somehow it works with Linux. The fact I can play Terraria with my HDD and less than 4GB Ram is nothing short of miraculous. >>1027721 Thank you for the recs anon. I read Carnegie's other book years back and it helped me a lot with getting along with other people, admittedly its implementation can a bit complicated.

This is a weird question I've meant to ask for years. What's your absolute favorite hentei/smut? I don't know what else to call western porn comics I think the proper word might be "doujin" but I'm not Japanese nor weeb enough to know. Mostly I mean vidya related but it can be other things, to. Mine is doubledeck's Mechanical Tempts.

>>1026985 More bots are good for the soul.

>>1028360 Doujin refers to anything self-published, with doujinshi specifically being for paper works like books or comics. If a hentai manga is published by an official or large company, it's just porn. I like too much stuff to say for sure, but i'll stick with something vanilla and claim Kyou kara Hajimeru Kuro Majutsu 3. >>1028363 im not so hot on her but i know some other guys are

What are your thoughts on people using guides to play games?

>>1028371 I quit games the moment I feel like I need a walkthrough which has resulted in me stopping plenty of games over 50% of the way through.

>>1028371 I find myself doing it a lot but that's because I'm a routingfag and I'm usually on a mission to twink out or to run a barely viable theme build. >>1028382 In my case it ends up being less that I need a walkthrough than it is that I've forced a walkthrough on myself.

>>1028371 Back in the days, when devs were absolute retarded you need walkthroughs!!! There was a reason why the point&click genre died, and its because the puzzles were super autistic retarded. Without internet and a walkthrough you just stucked. Nowadays everything is fucking dumbed down. You may wipe out a guide for a romance path or some hidden extra companion/loot, but never for a walkthrough. Thanks modern audience, i guess...

>>1028387 You're fucking retarded.

>>1028386 I liked point and click autism.

>>1026791 A co-op is too meritocratic for their taste, and so would "harm the people" even if successful :^)

>>1028371 Depends. In games where moon logic or easy to miss pixel hunting is common, I won't ever fault someone for using a guide. I also won't fault anyone using a guide on their second+ playthrough to see what they missed before. Fags who use them on a first playthrough deserve bullying though. You only get to experience that first playthrough once, why ruin that for yourself.

>>1028398 I don't use guides on my first playthrough unless I'm stuck for hours since I would miss the rest of the game if I didn't.

>>1028371 The only times I use guides are: >Point and clicks (or similar games) that utilise retard logic. (Character & story is usually more important in these games anyways, than trying to figure out that you were supposed to use the wrench on the shampoo only after you inserted it into a car's muffler) >To find that one item/switch/enemy/macguffin required to progress after I've traversed the entire map about a dozen times and can't find it >Puzzles where I am simply stuck and can not figure it out after I've spent an excessive amount of time on it (and usually when I see the answer, it still won't make sense, which is usually the mark of a poorly designed puzzle.) >Some VNs, but only after the first blind playthrough, to make sure I don't keep getting the same endings over and over again. Especially if the VN uses an invisible point system with your choices that push you towards different endings. Although it depends on the VN. I suppose in theory I don't really mind if people you guides in multiplayer or creative environments. E.G. The best loadouts in a multiplayer shooter, or how to build redstone contraptions in minecraft etc.

>>1028409 Yeah if you are absolutely stuck, by all means go for it. My comment was more to do with not spoiling the first run experience by reading a guide that gives away everything before you even try it. >>1028414 >guides in multiplayer My problem with that is that too many end up being metafags and the game gets stale because no one wants to think for themselves.

>>1028371 >>1028398 >You only get to experience that first playthrough once, why ruin that for yourself. On the subject of using a guide on your first playthrough, there are people out there who really only have time to play through the game once. Whether it's because they are a mom/dad or have a full time job, they just don't have a ton of free time. So many of them use a guide to make sure they see the most content that they can in that single playthrough, sacrificing much of the mystery of the game in return. Do you guys think it's worth it? Or does the experience of playing blind outweigh the satisfaction of seeing as much content as possible?

>>1028432 >metafagging In my opinion, a majority of the time this is the fault of developer incompetence. If a particular playstyle is actually better than all or most others, it's genuinely unfair to expect players to deviate from that playstyle since it puts you at a general disadvantage. However if the game's playstyles are properly balanced against each others, there won't be any long term metaslavery since people, even pros, well eventually figure out that an alternative playstyle is just as effective as the meta one. In that sense metafags are just trendchasers, copying whatever is popular at the moment and not a significant problem on their own.

>>1028433 Games with missable content suck anyway. You should just be able to go back and see stuff you missed at first, without a whole new run. Unless it just has completely different content, like a whole second story mode.

>>1028433 I'd say if you have the time, the blind playthrough is miles better. Obviously not everyone is going to care or have the free time like you said, so for them using a guide is a must even if it harms the overall experience. >Do you guys think it's worth it? For me no. It is like reading a spoiler for the game's story but instead you read a spoiler for the gameplay. You don't get the joy of exploring an new zone or finding a hidden area, you don't get the feeling of victory when you figure out how to beat a tough area/boss, and you don't feel the rush that comes with facing something totally unknown to you at that moment. Sticking to a guide that robs you of things like that which would ruin a game for me. >>1028437 >this is the fault of developer incompetence >if the game's playstyles are properly balanced against each others, there won't be any long term metaslavery True. I've just experienced that incompetence far too many times now.

>>1028468 >typos and other errors Fug. I can't write today.

>>1027487 You're not Portuguese

Currently playing Factorio, waiting for the expansion to hit next week. Doing a biterless rail world with 5x research cost and almost won. Might just play a vanilla round and see how well I can do. My first victory many years ago took about 55 hours

I don't think this is worthy of it's own thread, but the entire dev cycle and balancing design for Helldivers 2 has been ruined, and will be ruined even more as time goes on, because of tik-tok and I don't really have words for how disheartened I am. "You must never nerf in a PVP game" has to be the most insidious, poisonous thing I have ever seen come out of someone's mouth and the damage is irreversible, especially when it came from people that wouldn't put in the effort to learn the game for what it was. Democracy as a whole is a gigantic mistake, we should go back to ostracizing people on their ignorance and embrace elitism as a culture asap.

>>1028560 The people who laughed at it will turn around and say it should have been gatekept and preserved. I played it about 3 or 4 weeks ago again for a few hours, it's stupidly easy now and only mob spam and high spawn rates can unfuck it if weapon nerfs are off the table. You have to actively choose to take no rocket launchers or any of the heavy-killing airstrikes to die, and I heard normal weapons will do chip damage now too. It's a mess m8.

>>1028570 So why did they decide to make it so easy, just to expand accessibility?

>>1028646 Because the developer took the complete opposite approach and only nerfed weapons seemingly based on popularity and usage statistics alone, which resulting in people jumping to something different that then got nerfed, or just fun weapons getting nerfed, all while the difficulty stayed the same or got harder enemy-wise. People got sick of the constant nerfing and revolted since the game was just becoming more and more BS and players felt their fun was getting ruined by all the cool shit getting hit with the nerf bat. Thus the massive buffs across the board to counteract such and the new "no nerfing" stance as a hard point. It's a course correction. You still need to nerf shit in a PVE game if it's too strong and/or overcentralizing for too little effort, mind you, but there is such a thing as going too far, and you should NEVER nerf and rebalance things solely on usage numbers. It'd be like nerfing Greatsword or Longsword in Monster Hunter games solely because it's the most used, rather than letting weapons have their niches or giving the other weapons things to compete. A good example of PVE game balance recently is Remnant 2. Where they tried to bring more power to a wider variety of builds and playstyles with the vanilla equipment reworks prior to DLC2 and the DLCs all adding new playstyles or enhancing existing ones. And when things get nerfed it usually is because it's genuinely too strong for too much survivability, like havoc form getting a 10% damage nerf, not because it's overpowered.

I've been trying to find and remember this one 3rd person shooter that had you play as a female which had really interesting controls where you could control yourself to stop mid roll and remain perfectly still e.g. doing a head stand.

>1028414 >Puzzles where I am simply stuck and can not figure it out after I've spent an excessive amount of time on it (and usually when I see the answer, it still won't make sense, which is usually the mark of a poorly designed puzzle.) I see you fall victim to the brainroting autism what was Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous puzzle dungeon. For people who doesnt know. There is a side quest (which later develop into a companion quest and a 2 HOURS LONG PUZZLE DUNGEON) which contained several domino puzzles and memory games. The UI was so fucking dogshit (before the EE edition) you couldnt tell the pieces apart, and people literally needed dig up the game files to find out the solutions for the butt load of puzzles! I did this shit, and even with guide was unbearable! The main bullet pointsa bout the whole fiasco: >No hint what the fuck you need to do, the rules are fucking moon magic. >The pieces are hidden on the (big as fuck) world map. >The puzzle caves (where you need to drag the pieces are) far as fuck. Your party get debufffed to hell while you reach them. >As you advance with the puzzles the rule get randomly change! Means if you some fucking how get familar with it then after the third puzzzle caves the rule somehow not apply anymore on the fourth one! >If you do every puzzle cave you found out one of your companion is tied to the puzzles and you need to bring her to the "Puzzle Pyramid Mega Dungeon". >Its a 2 hour long hard as fuck, trash mob + unfair shit throwing at you fuckfest with different NEW ouzzles with more bogus moon magic logic puzzles! >NOT EVEN REDDIT DEFEND THIS SHIT!!!! Thank you for listening to my vent. Please dont mind my grammar, im angry as fuck. Fuck you Nenio!

>>1028560 >>1028659 >>1028646 >>1028570 Au contraire, this kind of thing should have its own thread. Discussion surrounding hd2, around game balancing, around nerfs in pve, listening to "community", overcorrecting a small mistake all can come under that thread. Please make one. Ofcourse it will have autists but that's the whole site

>>1028560 >>1028679 I don't know anything about Helldivers but I'm always up for a discussion about developers getting on the nerftardation treadmill and things like that because it HAS affected other games I played and enjoyed.

>>1028673 I played through the game and had somehow managed to make myself forget about the puzzles. Fuck you for reminding me. And I'm sure you know exactly how much you hurt me by making me remember.

Kinda addicted to against the storm, it's nice to do a round or two every other day. Any reason I shouldn't give these devs money?

>>1028822 Misery loves company, just like your double dubs. >>1028823 Wait, this shit is good? Its advertised all over the place.

>>1028847 It's a very simplified city sim but since you only spend 20 to 40 minutes per settlement, need to pick your building upgrades carefully to ensure you keep the populace happy, and p;ay to the area's varying resources or lose everything, it keeps things fresh. Worth a pirate I'd say.

Shawn Layden (former Sony boss) said, in the games industry's younger years, "we spent a lot more time looking at games and not asking 'what's your monetisation scheme', or 'what's your recurrent revenue plan', or 'what's your subscription formula'? We asked the simple question: is it fun? Are we having a good time? If you said yes to those questions, you'd usually get a green light. Back then you didn't make a game for millions of dollars, so your risk tolerance was fairly high. Today, the entry costs for making a AAA game is in triple digit millions now. I think naturally, risk tolerance drops. That middle layer that used to be where Interplay, Gremlin, Ocean, THQ, all those companies, made their money... That middle piece is gone. If you [can become] AAA, you survive, or if you do something interesting in the indie space, you could. AA is gone. I think that's a threat to the ecosystem."

>>1029149 >Shawn Layden (former Sony boss) Yeah, no, he can get fucked for being one of the people that caused the current state of the industry.
