Skongsong, Silkskong - Skong. (Silksong)

That’s a fair point, Skong was made by like 3 people and it’s probably one of the best games of all time — tons of love in the game.

I think that the amount of love that went into Clair Obscur eclipses any use of AI. If you’re under the impression that background textures they replaced must mean they used AI everywhere else — you must not have played the game.

It’s a good, weird, game.

Which goals, donating money to charity and opposing fascism? Or opposing fascism and supporting Ukraine?

Even if you can’t play the game, watching a 100% playthrough with no commentary is worth it. The story is easily the best part of the game.

At least, in my opinion.

The written language is developed by the spoken language. I.e. colloquialisms are king.

I raged against people using literally when they mean figuratively for years. I lost.

Obligatory Dwarf Fortress

You can make the argument that Helldivers is more of a mission based shooter, and many people will agree with you.

Hunt is absolutely an extraction shooter. You take gear into a raid, fight other players, collect money and even their guns, fight a boss and collect the bounty when you extract.

Hunt Showdown, The Cycle, Helldivers

Ah yes, I wonder why the game that goes on sale for like 10 or 15 bucks that runs on a fucking potato is outselling it’s successor.

Anyway, Omega is sick

Yeah, the other interpretation isn’t better. Either the title is critical of this or it is an incredibly obvious (verging on completely uneccesary) statement.

Seriously, it amounts to ‘Valve wants to sell more of this console they make money off of’

God forbid Valve push their great product

Haven’t played Sniper Elite in a while but I seem to remember being struck by how much they went out of their way to humanize Nazi soldiers.

Doom has Nazis?

Idk about Wolfenstein, but I have spent plenty of time in online gaming spaces.

I’m sorry, you’re absolutely right. A crucial entry missed.

Steam?

You mean the platform with critically acclaimed titles such as ‘Hitler My Friend’ ‘Heal Hitler’ ‘Hitler is my crush’ ?

I would never have guessed that the platform had a problem with far right communities.

Dude what?

be pretty cool if we could fairly easy add an option for people in a wheelchair to get them walking. Clearly you’d rather they didn’t.

Great so you missed the point entirely, just like most people miss the point of games with one difficulty setting.

Silksong is a game, bright moving colors on a screen, meant to amuse and entertain.

You’re not an elite mountaineer for pressing buttons faster than a disabled person

Crying about difficulty in video games isn’t going to stop. There are thousands of video games that are not difficult. Play those.

You’re right, difference being that what you’re saying is more akin (following the analogy) to putting wheelchair ramps on a mountain.

Silksong is the mountain, git gud and climb it or shut the fuck up.

And the idea that every game should be for everyone is the reason why Elden Ring is… kind of a bad game.

Great open world, beautiful scenery… bad boss design, which yes — that is the game.

Like, think about this in the real world setting. Think about how this hyopthetical would play out, person becomes disabled and has to sit in a wheelchair. Everyone agrees ‘it’s not fair that they can’t walk, no one should walk because this person can’t’. And then everyone sits in a wheelchair despite being perfectly abled.

Does that make sense to you? Because it doesn’t to me, I’m sorry if there are people who can’t beat these games — but damn, at some point you have to recognize life isn’t fair and just enjoy the shit you do enjoy. If being good at a video game isn’t important to you, ok that’s your prerogative. Do not play the hard video game. But this constant whining about difficulty settings and nerfs is just obnoxious.

Everyone heard Hornet say git gud. If you say you didn’t, you either didn’t play HK or you’re a liar.

Silksong is the git gud game. It is the Bloodborne 2 we never got.

Edit: also it isn’t that hard.

Ah, so make things worse — just like MAGA

Good thing I’ll never be playing escape from tarkov again, otherwise I might be bothered

I would argue that Blasphemous wouldn’t exist without Hollow Knight, and HK is still the better Metroidvania.

Dead Cells is not a Metroidvania game. It is a roguelite.

Edit: roguelite, not roguelike.

Ok, I’m not debating this further with someone who continues to cherrypick.

Enjoy your Big Mac.

I’ve played both, granted I stopped playing valorant after 2 games because it’s fucking boring (for reference I stomped both games with +30 kills and a handful of deaths, dicking around with every gun) so I easily could be wrong about my assertion. You would be hard pressed to find a single character ability that doesn’t already exist in CS or LoL.

Edit: That isn’t even approaching the Overwatch comparisons. Like, you can argue that the games are fun — that’s entirely subjective. But seriously, Valorant isn’t homogenous? How many hero shooters exist? The fucking sniper is called the Operator.

There isn’t a single character ability in Valorant that does not have an analog from League of Legends. The biggest hype surrounding BF6 is the fact that they’re bringing back a mechanic from BC2, and also that it’s smaller and more like CoD (I know, I played the beta). Yes, it’s homogenized garbage. Also no, they absolutely don’t do it perfectly, there are better tactical shooters against both titles. It is quite literally a video game fast food equivalent.

It barely gets a passing grade, and that’s only if you’ve installed all the QoL mods.

Yes because I truly love my shooters becoming more and more homogenized. Counter strike with hero abilities!?!? Oh my GOD let me spend 100’s of dollars on skins yes PLEASE Riot. Battlefield but it’s more like CoD? YES daddy DICE PLEASE spit in my mouth again, I love the taste.

I admit it’s been a while since I checked in on the progress towards emulation, is it actually playable now?

I would believe a Bloodborne remaster was coming before Bloodborne 2.

Please. Please I have been waiting for years to play it on PC.

I will never understand how to enjoy Kenshi, and I like Caves of Qud

The Streisand Effect

Nah, fuck Thor — he could have been the YouTuber pushing for coverage of Stop Killing Games, instead he decided to double down on his stupid bullshit.

Reminder — he was a Blizzard employee for 7 years. I think that, plus his ‘my shit doesn’t stink and if you think it does, you’re wrong and banned’ attitude should give you all you need to know.

from my, apparently, dipshit friend (no, this is not the only stupid thing he’s done).

Reading comprehension is hard. I get it.

Yes that’s the problem, he doesn’t know a lot of things. He also doesn’t seem very keen on learning them.

He’s young, so I still have hope for him but god damnit he’s stupid and a potential hazard apparently.

Holy fuck I did not know about Overwolf. That’s the last time I download something from my, apparently, dipshit friend (no, this is not the only stupid thing he’s done).

Probably my favorite game, and I’ve played a lot of games

It’s a bad game
