Lord Frogmire Appreciation Thread - The Better Brother (Formerly Known as Synthetic Man Appreciation Thread) - Might have an account here

Not that its may be solely a reason, but it could have been some sort of AI that lowered reach until someone manually ensures that its not some cartel execution or whatever.
I mean, he was throttled before because of NPCs naked female breast in Fallout, right?
Hes gaining views now.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't a bunch of content creators get their videos demonetized because they showed Dustborn?
As for the AI thing, I wouldn't be surprised if Youtube is using a program to scan the audio for any mention of wrongthing.

We are the Dustborn and we love newborn baby porn or something idk.
I do think Dustborn deserves that #1 spot on worse game of 2024. I'm surprised that the Dead Rising Remake wasn't on the list but the Silent Hill 2 remake was. It wasn't even in the dishonorable mentions.

Yea I didn't particularly like the SH2 remake but the Dead Rising remake certainly looked shittier, I didn't actually get around to playing it.

to me it looked like a shitty remaster rather than a full out remake of the game. also i forgot that dead rising deluxe came out last year because of how much of a nothingburger the final product was.
 
Quite late, but yes.

Check out the op for the "Lolicon/ Shotacon Defenders" thread.
There's even proof that when the CP magazines were banned, the ones that were used as references for Lolicon artists, that some worked together to hide them from authorities.
i honestly don't really care. you can't stop the pedophiles, lolicon lovers, furries, trannies, etc from gooning to whatever they want. My advice is to protect your own kids, and not gave shit about other people's kids.

I guess he forgot about it. I forgot it existed till you mention it

This is a really bad slippery slope. Your own kids come first, sure, but if society is further atomized and no one gives a shit about each other, we’ll be truly fucked. Communities helping each other has been an aspect of civilization for thousands upon thousands of years. When the time comes and protecting your children may be out of your reach, you’ll need someone else to protect them. Apathy leads to moral decay.

He seemed to forget about the Flintlock game too though maybe it was just too meh to put in. Despite the new bugs, censorship and easier difficulty the Dead Rising demaster can still be enjoyed compared to a lot of the bad games presented and a lot of the story still plays the same. The SH2 demake was way more blatant with the uglification, modern audience cinematic writing and overall change in gameplay and direction that fighting the same bunch of enemy types every five minutes makes it old really fast
 
Dustborn was so bad even those that agree with it could not accept it because it was too on the nose with its massage and not "suttle " enough.

It made them look like crazy fanatics which they are.

I think he didint mention Dead Rising remake was because having two remakes make the list would be too much.

cancelling resulting in literal death, the big bad being objective facts, and you essentially driving out all the free thought from people was so ridiculous
 
I don't agree with a few things Synth says but I do like his honesty in his videos.When i'm watching his videos it does not feel phoned in or phony, it does not feel like he's trying to play for a side, he feels honest when speaking on games, tv shows, movies, etc.I really like his basic message about video games is that he just wants video games to be video games again and not some deepthroated agenda or some realism third person AAA slop that strips the artstyle, gameplay to become like (real life) and less like a video game(Indiana Jones, GTA 5, Red Dead 2) or some game just trying to be a fucking telemundo episode or stupid teen drama.

I grew up with late 90's and 2000's gaming so I always feel like i'm lost in the shuffle of gaming, feels like I hate most of gaming, while i'm not trying to be negative a lot of games today really are just high tier slop, i'll even take a fucking stranglehold John Woo game over 90% of games today.

That's all I really wanted to say as a lurker of Synth, need more honest people to say it how it is even if it's facts or opinion.
 
After witnessing what has become (Dustborn), would be interesting to see Synth play the games from what it all started.

Same Director.

I remember playing 2006 one somewhere in 2007. Dont think that i got that far in the game, because i remember only sunny starting location and rainy one. Dont think that i got to where it all become medieval. Dont know why.

Sequel "Dreamfall Chapters" (2014-2017) then made in studio "Red Thread Games" that made Dustborn, so i expect it to be quite "modern".

nothing individual can do about it when society begin to collapse. look at California. Unless many people are willing to literally risk their lives, the devils will never disappear. the truth is that most people are brainwashed or too scared to stand up. best thing an individual can do is to move into a nice area away from all the bad people.
 
If I remember correctly, in Dreamfall Chapters there are magical immigrants living in a ghetto which makes Evil White Men very angry. About half way through the story you have to listen to an Angry White Man rant about immigrants, and in the finale the immigrants are put in death camps. They're styled so you recognize them as holocaust camps at first glance. Unfortunately you have to rescue everyone.

Ragnar Tørnquist who wrote all these games is an intelligent man in touch with the times. Ie, he's 110 IQ and supports the Current Thing. When he wrote The Longest Journey and the first Dreamfall he made good stories, because that's what you did. These days to be accepted in polite society you have to be a raving lunatic and talk about politics all the time. Dreamfall Chapters was a big change from everything he did before, and somehow it didn't raise eyebrows at the time. This was a year or two before punch a nazi memes, tiki torch marches and so on. What made him lose his mind and rage against White Men? Gamergate of course! And probably just being on Twitter. With Dustborn though it seems he went too far, maybe because he couldn't read the room and correct his internal programming in time. As we see with Facebook removing tampons from men's restrooms, the current thing is changing rapidly, and Dustborn is a tad out of step with the times. It feels reflective of sentiments around the time of fiery but peaceful protests during the Summer of Love. Maybe this is why he was cautious during the marketing phase of Dustborn, as he said it wasn't a game for everyone. Again this shows he's smart! He knew it was out of touch with the times, although only just so. Maybe his next game will be about fighting Russian invaders on the streets of Oslo or something, co-funded by Nato.
