hh, I'll defend Literature on this one. There is still a large amount of good books out there, but you've always had to find them.
There's ALWAYS been stupid shit in terms of fantasy and Sci-Fi that gets needlessly large with immensely retarded plots centered around some shit-tier self-insert that's fighting against an allegory. Or worst, there are shit-tier self-inserts that fight against a normal monster with no other deeper meaning; but the audience ties a meaning to the monster.
Hot take: Stephen King is a prime example of stupid shit that borders woke at times that people give way more meaning to than the faggot that wrote it did.
So, I agree with you that you've always had to look for a diamond in the rough with books. I more so meant amateur literature, shortstories, creepypastas, urban legends, that kind of thing. Every time I find one that is actually enjoyable to read and creative to boot, it was written before 2020. Take all the issues that we agree exist with published literature, and amplify it by a million for amateur stuff. which is a shame, because that's the space where we got some genuinely good creepy stories here on the interwebs.
I mean, it doesn't help that 90% of games in the last 20 years have been sequel after sequel and what isn't a sequel tends to be kinda faggy or just shit in terms of gameplay before we even get to the woke parts.
Like genuinely, taking away all the ideology from the game itself and its representations; can you name a single woke game that is legitimately fun and is conducive to multiple play-throughs?
No I can't and that's part of the problem. Triple A games become synonymous with "Over the shoulder 3rd person action game with RPG lite elements, crafting, and dodge/roll combat." Those games do absolutely nothing for me. I
kind of liked Spiderman 1, but literally only for the collectathon aspects of finding the webs and the bookbags while webslinging around. The story, missions, and combat were ass. Shooters have been fortnite-a-fied for a decade now, and they all feel the same. You can literally put them all in one of 3 categories. Fortnite clone, overwatch clone, tarkov clone. That's it. Entire genres I enjoyed don't get made anymore, and the ones that do got homogonized and had the spirit of them changed.
Share some titles? I'd be down for some recommendations from someone that avoids bullshit.
Honestly for multiplayer, as far as newer games my friends and I gave been playing, I don't have too many super rare recomendations. We're motorsport fans at our core, so we play a lot of racing games. Recently my friends and I have been playing Circuit Superstars, and arcade racer that is an asbolute blast online. Before that we were playing wreckfest which to this day is a solid experience online, way better than the early access sequel. We've been playing a little Tabletop Sim and Farm Sim on the side.
For my personal autistic rotation of old games? Hotshots Golf World Invitational, NASCAR Thunder, 2003, 2004, and 2005, MX Vs ATV Reflex, modded zombies maps on World at War, and a ton of the old platformers. Spyro, Banjo, those types of games. I'm certain none of these games really appeal to you. I'm a simple man, I'm content with a short rotation. Sometimes I throw a more modern game in there like Stardew or American Truck sim (modded to high hell). Oh, and I recently gave the pheonix wright games a try. Surprisingly amazing.
Oh, there's a decent amount of good stuff still being made that's not super faggy and annoying.
There is, but I feel like it's playing russian roullete choosing any movie made after 2016 whereas older movies almost always hit. My sister and I recently watched Nightcrawler from 2014 I think, and both got really in to it, found it pretty interesting. I do watch newer movies when they're reccomended by a friend, but that's not super common.
Like other groups joining into the media you enjoy? Like certain actors being in things or like?
Or do you mean you keep your hobbies safeguarded from normies?
I just mean I don't tell anyone what I'm in to unless they ask, and I don't care to hear their opinion on it. For example, I liked Gen 3 of pokemon. I have no interest going online and listening to someone make a case for why that opinion is wrong and why some other generation was better, nor do I want to hear someone say it was literally the greatest game of all time. What matters is the memories I made with it and other people's opinions can, over time, erode your own memories of something as your personal experience gets mixed in with the thousands of opinions you've heard about it. It becomes less personal, and I don't like that. So I keep anything I truly love to myself and just let other people enjoy it however they want so long as they leave me alone.
" then nerfed fire damage across the board instead, which not only harmed the Coyote (as it had a fire damage effect), but like 6 other guns and stratagems as well kek.
