/games/ - Video Games

I'm 31 years old now, and more and more I grow weary to spend much time playing games, I becoming rare and rare finish a game, because I think is get the waste doing grinding or wasting 40 minutes trying to defeat 1 boss, I don't know, I used to play a lot more, spend hours upon hours on it, now it's seems quiet wasteful time, I don't know, very few games have a nice balance of time, gameplay and story, everything seems bloated and a waste of precious time, or maybe I'm just lazy, I don't now.

I have the sinking feeling that we have lost Minecraft and culture surrounding the things that were like it to the new normies the nermies if you will. For example the core of Minecraft c418 has been gone for some years now and the majority if not all of nermies can't really tell a difference. The new music isn't even necessarily bad it's just not it and you know what fuck you yes Minecraft does have a specific feeling to it so by playing music that sounds like it's directly out of terraria. Anyway it wasn't the bad graphics or the lagg that gave you the absolute Nirvana. It was the boldness of mostly jeb and a little from notch and not being afraid to add something so small like a fucking firefly. And that's pretty much it I don't feel like doing anymore I just had to purge all of this after hearing all the nermies on cucktube and queddit.

A thread for Delcatty and Skitty comics. I am going to post them all then probably fuck off.

This might sound strange -or probably not- but has anyone acquired lucrative knowledge from video games? If so, please kindly share it, whatever it is.
I'll start.

I was playing a rpgm game which was tackling a narrative of an existence shimmering between awareness and non-awareness, where the overall antagonist together with a surprising other character –an ally, at that– were in a plot to reduce the world of awareness into a barren 'non-awareness' and what consequences would occur thereafter.
The game's journey towards the inevitable clash against the non-aware perpetrators alongside its thwart-evil conclusion were typical and yet I couldn't relent from thinking about the dualism it was tackling until it hit me what a perfect descriptor it is for a lot of problems, common and difficult alike.

In my understanding, a problem is always interpretable in two facets: problems brought by problematization which are caused without being any the wiser or 'aware' of causes to infelicity and problems that are unavoidable through one thing or another. Now, I'd like to think that the dividing line between these two is easy to draw but I'm sure argumentation is anticipatable so I won't elaborate on that further.
What interests me here are problems as a result of problematization.

I'll take something like social media addiction as an example.
It often is the case that a person addicted to social media has an obvious realization of this and yet cannot help but continue to tolerate it. Occasionally, he or she will take breaks propelled into action by external circumstances, not least of which are other people inclining them to do so, but will desist shortly after even if said external measures are still present. They simply cannot help but come back to it, no matter what.

Why is this? well, it's an addiction for a reason right? If just 'stop doing it' was enough, the label 'addiction' wouldn't be warranted. Similarly, culling the ignorance of the harmful 'consequences' and emphasizing them again and again are equally ineffective if not entirely meaningless as they do nothing to sway the person in question from avoiding social media.
Ignorance is not the issue, it never is and never was just like a guy who cranks it 5-10 times a day knows he's going overboard, so too does someone who spends 20 hours on 4chan, to give an example.

What's going on then? The game's narration construct has anPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I wonder if that was before or after they got both Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest as exclusives.

At that point they were pretty much guaranteed victory.

What games from america nis should l buy, l never bought any games from them before, but that spy game looks cool.

Can we talk about traditional games here too?

I love DnD type lore. But I hate the actual gameplay, mechanics minutia and don't want to interact with people. Also hate collecting physical books and files.

What's the best way to enjoy? Podcasts like NADDPOD are ok but cringe. Dnd art is cool.

Escapism is probably the key here what with 1 in every 4 people going to live in a slum by 2030, according to current estimates and goodness knows what else in the real world.

In need for comfy online games, where I can interact with people like me, I was thinking I should purachase Stardew valley

It will be glorious when Rockstar announces that GTA 6 is getting a PS4/Xbox One release.
