Fuck it, I'm done.

Absolutely nobody looks a man who looks like Cenk does, named "Cenk Uygur," and thinks "this is a white man." Of course these are a bunch of broke brain troons who look at a fat bearded man and say "yep this is a woman" so sanity isn't big on their list of skills.

These are the same set of yokels who will declare Asian people as "white" the minute statistics showing Asians are more well-paid and educated than white people comes up, just so their narrative of "Whitey is keeping us down!" can remain intact.

I fucking hate how essay writing autists put y'all in as much as possible, like they got their style guide from Chris Chan videos
But what IS Cenks misogyny

Also the mod making one of those epic twitter posts that only someone waist deep in the anus of political blogger 'articles' could get

And then some other faggot talking about politics and getting into a slapfight with him

I don't know how you managed it, but you quoted someone else but somehow used my name instead.

This is the second time I'm aware of it. At this least time it wasn't Null, I had to dox someone to redeem myself.

 

[Rei is shit]

The cenk shit is so unreal. What he said was a bad joke at worst. And that's coming from someone who is pro-Armenian.

Badly implemented extra difficulty modes can ruin a game. These speds are talking as if changing the difficulty is just a few button presses rather than something that takes serious resource investment to get right. Something something "entitled gamers".

As an example of extra difficulty settings implemented without sufficient playtesting harming the game, look at the original Rome Total War. That's an amazing game, but only if you play on medium or hard difficulty. On easy, the AI gets huge morale penalties such that any army you bring to the battlefield can make the enemy flee by saying "boo". So it doesn't matter what army you bring or what you do with it, ruining the point of the strategic and tactical aspects of the game respectively. That's where all the fun is and that makes easy mode extremely boring. On very hard mode, your troops get the same morale penalties and so you are forced to manipulate the AI to win, cheesing battles and ruining immersion.

Adding extra difficulty modes is a decision with huge opportunity costs for game developers. The coding and playtesting costs of an extra difficulty mode are resources that could be spent on improving other aspects of the game - such as improving the accessibility of the graphics, interface and controls for actual disabled people rather than game journalists.

You've put more thought into it than any of them did. They have no fucking clue how insanely difficult balancing a game is. The bottomline is that they want to be coddled and guided without difficulty through a game because they grew up being coddled and guided through everything so why stop now? Going past games even, everything that has a mild difficulty curve or learning process (musical instruments for example) is anathema to the sadbrains that post about this because the idea of working at something, even something that is supposed to challenging but fun like a FROM game, is considered no bueno under the guise of "accessibility".

It's a rétarded fucking argument and is I think born mostly out of envy for other autists that actually are able to get good at something like playing guitar, having a job, exercising, and finishing a game that requires more thought and skill than holding W to move through an empty house reading letters from your dyke sister.

actual disabled people rather than game journalists.

There's a difference?

Gird your loins, boys and girls. Expect lots and lots of incoming Star Wars salt. The reviews are coming in, and the NPCs are MAD.

You know how you see these fucking pictures of antifa and they're literally all fucking white and when there's a /pol/ meetup it's black, white, Asian and even beaners?

Reminds of the "diverse" xoxo-fest vs the "problematic" fighting game community.

I would be okay with every game having a pointless, so easy it has no fail-state mode if it was actually called Game Journalist Mode or Resetera Mode in every game.

I wouldn't want to give them the attention or the effort.

If you are going to do that, have it load a specific level. A walking simulator parody of the game itself that is over in minutes. Or have the pre-release game journo version just be a video of the game being played and see if they notice the difference.

I think "Senior Layout Artist" might beat "Associate Game Designer" as my new favorite non-game-dev game-dev title.

I think it's that they want to be part of "the discussion", but can't keep up with all the media they need to consume to stay up to date. I wouldn't be surprised if these were the same kind of people who would binge watch popular shows they didn't like just so they could be part of "the discussion".

There are no shortcuts in games like Dark Souls. They can't put it on easy or render the game trivial with a guide. The only niche game they genuinely seem to enjoy is the Atelier, but even that is "problematic". Even KiwiFarms seems to have more verity in niche topics than a forum ostensibly about video games.

I'm literally surprised there were screenings for critics at this point.

Cheebo's damage control and impotent rage is something we can all look forward to.

Like, make the easiest difficulty an official LP, just a demo file of the gameplay designer showing off? I unironically think that would sate the complaints.

Where's Kiwi coverage of the Star Wars meltdown ? Where are golden the screen-caps ?

Browing the thread quickly, I just learned Resetera's consensus on Mandalorian is not good. Lmao those people. With Rogue One, the Mandalorian is probably the best stuff to come out of this shitty franchise recently. But hey, it doesn't have a trans character so... yeah, so suddenly, the same people that will defend TLJ to hell and beyond, get picky about characters building and story pacing.

PlanetSmasher with the shitty taste and attention-whore controversial "opinion". Of course, that's the same guy that will defend TLJ to his last breath.

Baby Yoda is just a puppet ? That's war material.

Mando is probably nothing to them because we don't see him cry his way through difficulty like our good mary-rey. He's just an alpha male played by an alpha actor.

"Hey comrades, can I watch this guy on Youtube without losing my woke points, he makes good points but I'm afraid I might agree with a nazi ?"

"Pokemon is shit too, but it sold well, so it makes it good... Star Wars will makes millions which would absolve his sins"

Immeditaly called out on it (Damn, the guy isn't banned yet ? For shitting on Pokemon ? What's happening staff, growing soft lately ?)

IRL = my little twitter/discord bubble. We know you didn't have a single "IRL" friend astro, you would know most people hated TLJ if you had two.

Baby Yoda avatar and strangely, seems to know more about IRL than astro... Coincidence ?

If you don't like TLJ, you're white. It's always funny to see people with anime avatar and spending their entire life on Resetera calling out others for being nerds.

Or a misogynist.

And now the big piece :

Cheebos shows up, trying to playing it like he isn't crying his soul out.

Someone ask if he ever on his wrong prediction (JJ Abrams movie always score good so SW will be fine, basically).

Hmmm. Ban hammer incoming ?

Some cheebo alt account defending him. "Cheebo isn't a shill or a deranged fanboy, he's just optimistic".

Hot damn ! Ban hammer definitely incoming lmao.

Cheebo's alt coming at it again. "Cheebo was wrong, but not that much". Also lol at "nobody could have see it coming". After the TLJ schadenfreude ? Sure bro, sure.

"Time will prove us right". Yeah, unless nobody remember about TROS in 10 years.

I just browsed 5 pages.
