I only just noticed the most recent thread got deleted cos ~ reasons ~. Anywho, tell us all about how racism will solve climate change or w.e you freaks think about.
I wish KKK were a stock enemy in video games similar to Nazis. Dusk's cultists are kinda similar and Wolfenstein II had them but they're underutilized. Just gimme a game where I can shoot the shit out of Klansmen with a rocket launcher
Chipotle is massively overrated. It's a fast-food chain guised under the illusion of being "healthy". Making your own burritos at home is ridiculously easy, and especially so with "burrito bowls". Not to mention, it's a lot healthier, cheaper, and better-tasting. Chipotle, on the other hand, is over-priced, mediocre, and actually tends to take a long time to get your order depending on location. If I want some fucking fast food, I'll be chowing down some Taco Bell Cheesy Gordita Crunches™™™™™ like a real man. "Healthy fast food" is an oxymoron.
Rust is a great game and it is against someone's human rights to not let them play it
Weren't they also in Mafia 3? I haven't played it myself so I don't know for sure, thought I heard something about it though.
Maybe. I didn't play it and I heard it was bad.
the x86 architecture's short-lived lifespan on mobile phones was a missed opportunity to bring the full version of Windows 10 to smartphones. Dunno about you, but I would've loved to have low-spec Steam games on the go. More importantly, I feel like having such a device would do a lot of favours in terms of productivity, since the phone would also be a TV stick PC.
I greatly dislike the recent nose piercing fad that every girl seems to want to do nowadays. I think the look ugly on almost every woman I see.
Pointless since Windows 10 runs great on ARM now. x86 doesn't work on phones for heat and power reasons.
They were sorta. The KKK exist in-universe but the branch you fight is an exclusive one in New Bordeaux called 'The Southern Union'. Though they are pretty much the Klan, white hoods and everything. Also one of the most satisfying enemy factions to fight in the game, blasting everyone with an M60 during a cross burning was fun. Game itself is alright honestly. It had a really rocky launch and was filled with bugs but they updated it the best they could along with some additional (non-DLC) extras to extend the gameplay a bit more and it really just suffers from the Ubisoft-syndrome of having a repetitive open world segment. I think the gunplay and storyline are its strongest points and it does end up carrying the game through the end despite the tedious side-activities.
There are random, rare KKK meetings in Red Dead Redemption 2. Once I found 3 of them setting up a cross to burn, I shot the supervisor and the other two got spooked, causing the cross to fall on them and kill them both. Another time I found an active meeting with them at night, burning cross and all. I had a grand old time blasting them to pieces and running down the few who fled. Also some random passers-by saw me and didn't give a shit about me murdering them, so that was nice.
It actually ends up being more hilarious if you let them be. The cross burning ends up as a disaster, with one of the Klansmen accidentally burning themselves, thus setting up a chain reaction of everyone being burned too. The leader in the black robes calls out Arthur for not doing anything, with Arthur just slyly chuckling about it. You can kill him there too if you want to afterwards. Ending spoilers: Once you're playing as John, you get another encounter with them with a new group, setting up a new cross, they end up crushing themselves and the new leader calls out John blaming it was his fault they got crushed because of distracting them, forcing you to fight the Klan leader.
Not to mention the decor is like some kind of industrial clean room.
Might be a difference in location, but I usually don't see them advertise being healthy. The one near me is usually pretty good but I can see how quality can vary from location to location depending on how much of a shit the staff gives.
In the last thread, I mentioned that only people who are winning say shit like "It's just a game =)" and everyone disagreed with this so hard that it made the post sentient and feel physical pain. What I didn't mention was that I've never seen this occur in an online game where butthurty, angry players are common. It's not very hard to be humble and nice when a game's going your way.
i think ganking and routing enemies in skirmish games like tf2/chivalry/mordhau (etc) is perfectly fine and acceptable and there is no reason at all to adhere to some arbitrary "honourable duel system". i feel like people who complain super heavy about that and take it way too seriously generally look down on other players or think they're better. not to say i'm against 1v1 dueling or changing up how you play the game, but i think complaining that you were having a fight with one guy and died because someone else charged in suddenly is stupid.
Honorable duels should be expected on dedicated duel servers/modes etc. but for any general deathmatch/skirmish type of game modes, yeah anything goes and doing whatever it takes to win should be expected rather than something to be ridiculed upon. If you can do it in game just like everyone else, then it's fair game and it's the player's fault for not adapting to their opponent's approach.
yeah, i agree. you reminded me i also think it's perfectly acceptable to intentionally min-max or use known meta/OP things. you're supposed to win the game, why gimp yourself? unless the point is to specifically play it in a certain way, play the way that makes you win as long as it's legal.
People get really salty about it, but that just makes it better. I'm sure many people have fond memories of using any grenade launcher in CoD MW 1 and 2
Being friends with terrible people doesn't inherently make you a terrible person
Purely surreal/absurd humor a la Tim and Eric only works in small doses. After a while, it settles into a sort of bland, low-grade weirdness akin to reading a bunch of Heathcliff comics. Even shows like Superjail! and Xavier: Renegade Angel balance things out with some narrative structure and the occasional genuinely witty jokes.
I prefer concrete to grass, oil to water and manufacturies over forests. Humans might have been born from nature but we made the decision to break from it. I say we should embrace that decision whole heartedly and while there is much to be learned from nature we cannot in good faith protect it so why even bother acting like we're solving the problem when all we're doing is nothing and patting ourselves on the back for it? I say we embrace the machines we have created, the plants and creatures we have rallied to our domains and finally assume all the duties of regulating the planets systems that nature had so graciously done for us even in her dying days.
ok murrlogic
Nature isn't some separate thing from us, we rely on it in almost every way

Well, in that case, you'd be both a bad person and a worse friend, but that's not really what i'm talking about. Being a friend doesn't mean you have to be passive about your friend's bullshit, it means you should force them to confront their toxic opinions and behaviours. I'd rather have terrible people be friends with good people that help them improve themselves, rather than other terrible people that just continue to be terrible, if not make each other even worse.
fascism, as a whole, contains multiple sensible sects within it, such as British Fascism and Strasserism.
The seemingly anomalous behavior overall of the silents, baby boomers and gen X when it comes to aggressive behavior, lack of empathy, impulsiveness, criminal activity and resistance to adaptation likely have more to do with lead poisoning from fuels than upbringing or religion, as lead affects brain capacity during childhood growth and was only removed in fuels in the 1990s-early 2000s in most countries. As car sales rocketed in the 1950s and leaded fuel in most first-world nations ended in the early-to-mid 1990s, this would specifically affect those three generations and not Gen Z or GI Generation, as well as the early part of the Millennial generation. Ergo, the future total population of the world will likely be generally be smarter and more mellow as time progresses due to the removal of a global, airborne neurotoxin from most countries, and the extreme differences in generational perception issues at the current are, in fact, based on a physical cause.
When people give games shit for being collect-a-thons. I don't see why that's a bad thing. Even games that technically aren't meant to be that still have you needing to run around and pick up everything that exists.
