:marseywereback: Marseygen XL :marseywereback:

Let's do this again with Stable Diffusion XL. Same usage as last time, you can have five prompts per comment:

!sd Marsey driving a schoolbus full of children into a lake
!sd Marsey tripping balls on acid
!sd Marsey as a giraffe
!sd Marsey walking through the streets of NYC
!sd an art class full of Marseys painting a picture of Marsey

You'll probably get the best results with Marsey as X, Marsey dressed as X, or X in the style of Marsey, since that's how it was trained. But I haven't run any tests, so try whatever. If it doesn't work, assume I'm fixing a bug and you should try again in five minutes.

EFFORTPOST RDRAMA'S FIRST AND ONLY VIDEO GAMES SURVEY

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16846897259056673.webp


Introduction

Let me just preface this by saying this will be an incredibly long post that will most likely look like shit because the formatting on this site is as hard as getting people to respond to my messages so in case you just want to read the list there's a link to the complete list somewhere in this. Also, I need to edit this like twenty times or so so wish me luck. Also, I cannot guarantee that I didn't make a mistake somewhere so in case you feel robbed or I missed something maybe you're right but this was not as easy as I initially thought.


Awards

We'll start with some awards because why not and some of you people deserve to be awarded for your achievements. All of you will receive 1000 coins!

Unfunniest Answer

On his quest to maximize all his stats our favourite skeleton (@Lv999_Lich_King) forgot to also grind out his funny level but I guess this is what simping for hil gets you.

Assumptions

  • The ordering of games in the lists was not taken into consideration. Thus there is no weighting process involved. I did this so people who have mentioned less than 5 games weren't heavily penalized or couldn't put more emphasis on their picks.

  • Choosing more than five games led to me using a randomizer to select exactly five games. Sometimes I wrote the user back if they are fine with the choices and sometimes I didn't. I cannot be bothered to do this if you fail to read the (badly written) instructions. Also, I had to ignore your 'honorable mentions' or 'important shoutouts' no matter how much I or you liked those mentions. Also, giving you five choices is already incredibly generous already and you people need to be more decisive! :marseymad:

  • Original/Remake/Complete Edition were counted as different versions except for The Binding of Isaac because five people gave five different answers and I couldn't be bothered to clean them up.

  • I grouped expansions, add-ons, DLCs, mods, patches, stages, and basically whatever else you can think of into the main game. I know this isn't ideal but what am I supposed to do :soycry:

  • This sucked especially for MMOs but here we are :marseyshrug:

We have our first review by our beloved berzel: @SpaceMilk - Undertale:

Undertale is an artisan's labor of love among mass-produced commodities, a game whose reputation has unfortunately been tarnished by terminally online types. Look past its associations and the simple childlike aesthetic and you will find a rich RPG that is enthralling through its piece-by-piece jigsaw-puzzle storytelling that lends itself to many epiphanies, jaw droppers, and tearjerking. I must clarify that it is a tearjerker not in the sad cheap Oscar-bait manner, but in a romantically layered fashion through gradual attachment to a very memorable cast. It brought me to tears both in displays of tragedy and - more importantly - displays of loving friendship.

If you love anything that is meticulously handcrafted by one passionate man's vision, or a thrilling and winding story, or you're snowed in and want to warm your heart by the metaphorical fireplace, or you like video game OSTs (seriously, for an 8-bit album it really sets the mood!) then do yourself a favor and give Undertale a shot.

  • ace combat 0

Our Portuguese sensation wrote about this favourite plane game even though he isn't a plane autist: @Transgender_spez - Ace Combat 0:

Ace Combat Zero is a game with exhilarating gameplay, gripping storyline, memorable characters, the storytelling is an immersive experience and told by hearing radio chatter from both enemies and allies, as you and your wingman "Pixy" grow your legend the enemy forces as a whole grow more aware of your presence and even give you a baddass nickname (Demon Lord), the story is unashamedly cliche and over the top and I love it for that. The game's epic music enhances the intense aerial combat, and its replayability ensures endless enjoyment.

In conclusion highly recommend playing and emulating this PS2 classic on PC for an unforgettable gaming experience.

  • thief 2

Our favourite boomer @sirpingsalot selected Thief 2:

Thief 2 (and its predecessor, Thief) are games where powerful forces clash, but one man with the right skillset can change the balance of power. What is that skillset? Not the ability to carve through dozens of enemies, but the ability to go places and discover things without being seen, heard, or sensed. In most other games, violence is a fundamental part of gameplay, but in the Thief series, it is a sign of clumsiness: the highest level of accomplishment in the Thief series is to get through the entire game completely undiscovered, accomplishing your goals without leaving any evidence of your nefarious activities. Thief players refer to this as "ghosting" because from the perspective of your targets, you are a phantom. This gameplay approach of using stealth rather than violence was revolutionary when the Thief series first came out and has seldom been replicated, even to this day.

The protagonist of Thief - Garrett - is a cynical man who would fit in well with the shitposters of rdrama. He has a shuttered personality: his enemies frequently talk, but Garrett prefers to listen and act. One of the subtle joys of the series is hearing one of Garrett's infrequent observations about his targets as he studies them from afar, looking through the pieces of their lives and psychoanalyzing them from a distance, just as we players psychoanalyze Garrett himself.

Nothing will happen in 2 weeks but according to @Sal a lot happened in Bioshock 1:

Bioshock is one of the best games ever made because everything it sets out to do it does right. The symbolism, the writing, the characters, the athmosphere, the soundtrack, the gameplay. It's a great successor to System Shock 2 as well, it adapts everything good about it while also streamlining the more niche/janky aspects.

Pd: Andrew Ryan did nothing wrong.

  • dishonored 1

One of the biggest vidya enjoyers (@Robert_Edwin_House ) wrote about Dishonored 1:

Dishonored combines the versatility-oriented design philosophy of Arkane Studios with a hopelessly dreadful atmosphere of a plague-ridden Victorian-era city to create one of the most memorable immersive sims of the last decade. Streamlined enough for consoles, while still maintaining respect for the player’s intelligence - Dishonored proudly sits in the golden middle between causality and elite gayming. The aesthetics and atmosphere submerge you in a diseased and grimy world, the darkness of which manages to stay in your mind for far longer than the game itself lasts. Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight?

  • divinity original sin 2

Here's @box - Divinity: Original Sin 2

The inventory system in Divinity: Original Sin II is fricking stupid. You loot heavy shit for money and the game buries you with random-butt crafting items for later. Imagine a pillow fort but it's big-butt unmarked barrels and chests. Also you can't visit that spot any more once the next chapter starts so you gotta do it again. I also like how the game makes you insta-wipe randomly so you're forced to save every ten seconds. The character customization is fetch though. :marseythumbsup:

  • dragon age origins

And our favourite Dino enjoyed @Cdace - Dragon Age Origins:

Dragon Age: Origins is one of the last great BioWare RPGs to be released. While the mechanics are a simplified version Baldur’s Gate’s, the game truly comes to life with its RPG mechanics. With top tier party banter; actual impactful decisions; and, as stated in the name, the most unique aspect is your race and class will complete change your Act 1 will play out. With six unique origins that can completely change the course of your story, it makes for a fun and highly replay-able RPG which is a truly rare gem.

  • red dead redemption 2

  • the witcher 3

  • warcraft 3

Nobody glows as hard as @UraniumDonGER and he picked Warcraft 3 and wrote the following:

Warcraft 3 is a real time strategy game about Elves, Humans, Orcs and Undeads battling it out. Created by Blizzard when it was in its high prime. Warcraft 3s uniqueness comes from the integrated RPG elements by letting you level up Hero units and have them equip items. WC3 has one of the strongest modding communities in game history with a build in editor. It was so good that the community created games like Dota, Footman Frenzy and various Tower Defense games which inspired a plethora of modern games to this day.

  • crusader kings 2

Our football legend @Avalon selected Crusader Kings 2:

CK2 is the perfect blend of grand strategy and RPG that really makes the medieval world, or at least its stereotype, feel truly alive. Whether you lean into playing a character or take up your mantle of leading a dynasty through the ages you always come to care about and enjoy experiencing the lives of your characters and the kingdoms and realms they live in. A robust modding scene accentuates this allowing you to take your experience any which way you want along the game's many avenues of play. I can't recommend it enough.

  • factorio

One of my favourite users ever @jackie wrote about Factorio:

Stranded on a virgin planet, you set out to construct a rocket to escape. Build machines to excavate resources for you, get these to your consumers via conveyor belts and process them in increasingly complex supply chains as you work your way up the tech tree. As your local resources deplete, you can build trains to feed your increasingly hungry factory. Bots help you expand it even faster, leading to a virtous cycle.

The massive pollution caused by rapid industrialization unhindered by nosy beaurocrats won't please the natives, who can smell your prosperity and thus become envious. Whether you deal with them by heavily investing in perimeter defense, going green or launching a campaign of total destruction and genocide against them is up to you.

  • sekiro shadows die twice

The one who wrote the most msgs (@Norman) about this survey wrote about Sekiro:

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the epitome of a love-hate relationship, where every brutal defeat is like a cruel but oddly satisfying slap in the face, leaving you begging for more punishment like a masochistic samurai.

This game takes the phrase "git gud" to a whole new level, as it demands precision and finesse in combat like a ballet of death, making you question your own skills and sanity while being skewered by an oversized katana.

Sekiro's captivating world design is a delightful mix of stunning landscapes and decrepit ruins, serving as a constant reminder that no matter how beautiful the surroundings, death is always lurking behind every picturesque corner.

With its punishing difficulty and unforgiving bosses, Sekiro teaches us the valuable life lesson that perseverance pays off, even if it means throwing yourself against the same wall for hours until you finally break through, triumphantly screaming, "I did it!" while your loved ones question your sanity.

  • bloodborne

@TrapEnjoyer - Bloodborne

I don’t think I’ve seen any other game be mentioned for ruining the enjoyment of other games' combat as much as Bloodborne has; it’s that good. Combine this with a gorgeous, gothic Victorian world design that has Lovecraftian spoopy bullcrap going on, and you end up with a contemporary action RPG banger that gave g*ymers hope in a market oversaturated with unfinished, live-service slop.

@SmallNips - Bloodborne

You're placed into a world where it's inhabitants are plagued by a disease that transforms them into blood thirsty abominations. It's your job as a hunter to explore this gothic world and the unforgettable cosmic horrors that lie within it. The game changes mechanics from previous soul games such as dodging and replacing your choice of shields with guns to lend itself toward an aggressive and fast paced combat style. The detailed enviroment is filled with rich and engaging lore, that most players won't even realize it there until they've done multiple playthroughs. Simply put, Bloodborne is the perfect souls game.

  • counterstrike global offensive

I wrote about CSGO :marseyhug:

With an objective so intuitive that you'll understand it within minutes, counterstrike's position as the most played shooter was never in danger. Its gameplay may as well take you a lifetime to master but don't worry - long after Neo and s1mple are buried below the catacombs on Inferno people will still play and watch the only competitive game that ever mattered - regardless of what kind of nonsense Valve will add in future additions. Counterstrike is eternal.

  • knights of the old republic

@Hotep - KOTOR

Knights of the Old Republic is the pinnacle of the entire Star Wars Franchise. It’s a fun adventure game spanning over multiple interesting planets, with a perfect player progression as the story unfolds, and a plot twist that competes with the ESB reveal. This one RPG fulfills every fantasy the quintessential Star Wars fan could ask for.

@The_Red_Shill - KOTOR

I like this game because I like Star Wars also I like to use a light saber and the force. It is fun to use the force for good or for evil, on different playthroughs I will be good (known as a Jedi) or bad (a Sith Lord). I like RPGS I like leveling up and getting stronger. Overall this is a very good game if you like Star Wars like me and also like to level up like me.

  • path of exile

Our favourite twitch streamer @aqouta wrote about his favourite game here Path of Exile:

Path of exile is a monument to capitalism and gambling. Each league it is proven again that bring poor is a choice, a choice made by your genetically inferior parents to produce a child destined for failure.

Around once a quarter a new league comes out with a new mechanic in every zone, some balance changes and a totally fresh economy where everyone starts out level one washed up on the beach with nothing but a stick and a bit of torn cloth to cover peepees and clams. You then hone your character through slaying monsters to get experience for the massive 1325 passive point talent tree and currency to trade for or use directly to craft your gear in a crafting system it requires a PhD to be proficient in.

You slay your way to the end endgame where you are rewarded with yet another passive tree to scale up the difficulty and reward of new zones called maps, which themselves can be crafted, placed into an atlas along with still further opportunities for investment such that it can easily cost you more than a plebian will see in their entire league to open one map with the hopes to pull even more currency out.

  • runescape

Our gorgeous darling @eleganza picked Runescape:

Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is often considered one of those games that you'll only like if you grew up playing it, but in truth, it just takes the right variant of autism. The main draw is the complex skill system, the game has 23 distinct skills and it can take dozens if not hundreds of hours to max each of them, and as you level them, they form extremely satisfying synergistic relationships with each other. But between the quests, the PvP, or just the conversations you'll have with fellow 30 year old boomers grinding minigames, RuneScape is much more than the sum of its parts and you'll find yourself :marseyflushzoomzoom: when you check your playtime and realize how easy it is to forget how long you've spent chasing skill capes

Modern RuneScape, usually called RS3, is much the same but with updated graphics, some new skills, gear, and quests, and different balancing so you can level quicker.

  • dota 2

@Lur - Dota2

Dota 2 is a 5v5 rts game where you control one hero and you dont get carpal tunnel from playing. It distinguishinges itself by being a competetive game that doesnt simplify to flowchart when you get good at it. It will ruin most other games because youll realize that dota is just better and more fun.

  • outer wilds

None other than @trickleyum selected Outer Wilds:

What starts as a whimsical adventure of space travel and exploration slowly turns into a puzzling tale of change and the greatest, most ultimate of losses. This game stirs your soul and carefully pushes you to face both your own mortality and the death of your loved ones. Never before have I been as touched by any kind of media like i was by Outer Wilds and it's expansion Echoes of the Eye, both by Mobius Digital and published by Annapurna Interactive.

  • terraria

@molch - Terraria

In Terraria no one tells you what to do. You go from a peasant digging through dirt to omnipotent god, only because of your innate desire to conquer. The whole experience is tied together by a superb soundrack, satisfying combat, and a healthy mix of 'cutesy' and 'off-putting'.

@Sneed - Terraria

Terraria is an extremely well made sandbox game. It is able to fit more action, adventure, mining, and exploring than most other games. It also has had incredible support from the devs + community resulting in incredible mods and more content than you'd think. The game's multiplayer is also some of the most fun I've ever had.

Top 9

Deus Ex with 10 votes.

My man PBP (@PoweredByPhenethylamines) picked Deus Ex:

Deus Ex (2000) is the culmination of late 90's Immersive Sim design. Led by Warren Spector, originally of Looking Glass studios and contributor to the Ultima Underworld, System Shock, and Thief franchises, the game places the player into the shoes of JC Denton - a nano-augmented federal anti-terrorist agent, who is quickly thrown into a vast web of conspiracy involving a terrorist attack on New York City, The Illuminati, AI, the Knights Templar, vaccines, the Unilateral Commission, and many more.

Considered by some to be the peak of the Immersive Sim design philosophy, the game allows you to come at challenges from many angles, utilizing your resources and skillset to talk, sneak, shoot, steal, and hack your way through each situation — "Problems, not puzzles".

Elden Ring with 12 votes.

@Pog - Elden Ring

Elden Ring is the greatest bibeo game experience I’ve ever had. I adore pretty much everything about it.

For me, the centerpiece of elden ring is the world. I started as a wee peasant, waking from a grave and stumbling into something preposterous. I just stared in awe at the sight before me. A giant golden tree. A mountain, impossibly high. Castles upon castles.

It beggars belief that a game could exist with all this done well.

:marseyclueless:Surely From Software couldn’t have made a game with tons of biomes that all look good and have unique enemies, bosses and mechanics? Well for the most part (ignore mountaintop, ignore mountaintop) they did!

:marseymap: I loved exploring the world and seeing what fetch shit is around the corner. I was never disappointed. Getting randomly teleported to some giant flying dragon temple that I had no clue about? Realizing on the next playthrough that there’s actually a secret 3 headed dragon boss? As my good friend, @squirrelposting would say: “shit is nuts”

:marseypunching:Combat is awesome. It’s challenging to learn a new weapon or learn a new enemy. It keeps the game engaging and I enjoyed the difficulty. There are a ton of weapons, the interactions between ashes of war and weapon types makes experimentation interesting. I am pleased with how they implemented weapon arts.

:marseyweeb: The boss fights are legendary. Fire giant is an epic battle against a titan. Radahns second phase had me pooping my pants. Whore loo is a street fighter character. Malenia (my wife (male)) has toes 🥵 to die for. I loved 90% of those fights, even the ones that were buck breaking me for days.

:marseydisabled: It’s more accessible than previous souls games. They toned down a lot of the elements that make the previous 3 souls games annoying (more bonfires, run backs aren’t complete cancer). However, the boss fights are generally more difficult. I get annoyed at the opening margit fight because that bastard has more moves than the nameless king.

:marseyjamming:Soundtrack is fantastic. My personal highlight are the zone themes. The haunting ennui of limgrave, the dying wails of caelid, the faded majesty of leyndell. The boss themes are also good but I do think DS3 has better ones!

:platythumbsup:Final comment: grab the seamless coop mod if you want to play multiplayer. It’s pretty flawless and a real multiplayer system elevates the game even further (base game multiplayer is r-slurred). Ofc it’s a bit easier but it’s so much fun to horse around the world with a buddy.

Actual final comment: Elden ring is an amazing experience and I’m already cooming in my pants at the prospect of more DLC:marseythumbsup:

World of Warcraft with 13 votes.

@arsey - World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft is a massive multi-player online role playing game that allows players to create a character of a specific class and use it to navigate through the world of Azeroth. Two factions -- Horde and Alliance -- are constantly battling for control of Azeroth, and players must choose their side to fight opposing faction players for control of Azeroth's lands. Players navigate through increasingly more difficult areas of Azeroth and complete quests to increase their player's level and stats. As players complete quests, they can improve their character's armor and gain access to new dungeon battles. Dungeons are available at higher levels where players can work with parties of five, ten, twenty, or forty players to conquer Azeroth's most dangerous enemies. Together with a chosen guild, a team of players can unite in a raid of 10, 20, or 40 players to conquer strong enemies and obtain the highest and most coveted gear.

Our favourite Brazilian coomer (@Horned_waifus_shill) wrote about his #1 game here - world of warcraft:

World of Warcraft, for all it's flaws and God knows it has many, is truly a one-of-a-kind game. I must have spent somewhere around 10 thousand years hours playing wow. Though I haven't played it in a while and I absolutely hate the jew addled pozzed fricks that are the current devs, if someone asked me if they should play WoW out, my answer would be yes. They absolutely should at least try it. You can even try out Classic to see what is the fuzz all about.

Even if today there are other MMOs in the market like FFXIV, no other MMO really hits the spot that wow does. That's not to say it's somehow their fault, it's just really hard to compete against such a established franchise. For instance the first Warcraft game launched in 1994 and WoW itself was launched in 2004, so that's 29 years of Warcraft and WoW has 19 years of content in it's back.

To me wow feels like the jack of all trades of MMOs. No matter if you're a hardcore player, a casual player, pvper, pver, a coomer or an incel like @pizzashill (lmbo get fricked i got to comment on the game and not you), wow has something for you. Wow is also probably partly to blame for my obsession with women with horns.

Dark Souls 1 with 13 votes.

@Domnhall - Dark Souls 1

Dark Souls 1 - The gameplay is top-notch, difficult but not unfair. I like how compared to other souls games the character feels heavier just like you'd expect a knight in metal armour to be controlled. The NPCs are very likeable and memorable. Graphics still hold up today and the soundtracks play at just the right moments. The overall atmosphere is lonely and depressing but in a good way.

@azurewaves - Dark Souls

Dark Souls 1 is an action rpg that spawned the 'Souls-like' sub-genre. It is know for its challenging difficulty, environmental story telling, and high quality melee combat. Every enemy is deadly, but if you are skilled they can be felled with any weapon. Beating a difficult boss after struggling is exhilarating. And the high quality hit boxes and unique move sets for each weapon make most other melee combat systems feel like trash. It also features unique online coop mechanics and pvp invasions, which along with the unique weapon movesets gives it a lot of replay value. It may seem daunting to outsiders who know its reputation but it is very rewarding to play.

The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind with 14 votes

@MayflyAlt98 - Morrowind

I love Morrowind for the player choice it offers to your roleplaying and the alien world it invites you into. :marseydagothur2:

Morrowind as a setting is alien, strange and hostile to the player, Characters treat you as an outsider and require you to gain respect to progress. :marseyno: :!marseygasp:

You can roleplay effectively as a nobody as the world treats however your destiny slowly unfolds the more you involve yourself into the world. :marseycomfy:

While combat definitely isn't refined in later games I do appreciate the amount of choice in your skills, equipment and especially magic in the Elder Scrolls hasn't better since imo. :marseyblackmage:

Morrowind is easy to lose yourself in unexpected ways, from simple exploring following hazy directions, experimenting with magic and skills to outright break the game for fun or just letting the outlandish setting ensare you. You're treated as a nobody and aren't expected to save the world as a chosen one at the start, you make your own man to do what you want until destiny comes calling. :marseysaint:

It's a very cozy game for me. I'd recommend anyone to look ino OPENMW, a FOSS engine reimplemantation, since Morrowind with it's OG engine can be quite unstable on mkdern systems. :marseyexcited:

@ACA - Morrowind

Morrowind is a strange, exotic world. It doesn't look like a traditional medieval meme like Oblivion. The tensions between the occupying Imperials and the locals was present. The relationship between the local religion and great houses and prophecy made for great storytelling.

The later series further rounded out controls, maps, and certain parts of character development, which I wish could be backwards-incorporated into MW, but overall it's got the best story and world.

Rimworld with 14 votes

@Redactor0 - Rimworld

Rimworld's approach is to simulate everything: people, animals, plants, buildings, manufacturing, weapons, religions, and so on. It's a highly complex game but it's easy to play because it's the complexity of real life. Just do what you would really do if you were chased by feral wolves or sheltering from radioactive fallout. The interactions between all the simulated objects creates a story better than you'll get from most narrative games. (It's Dwarf Fortress for neurotypicals.)

@jackie - Rimworld

Manage and develop your small group of barely functioning r-slurs to help them survive and maybe even thrive on a hostile planet.

To keep your colony running smoothly, you have to fight the environment, disease and invaders in the form of men/animal/bug/machine. All while keeping your people happy enough so they won't snap. This is especially important if you want to branch into some of the more lucrative industries like drug production, organ trade or luxury good made from human leather which Rimworld is famous for.

Adaptive difficulty, while incentivizing some weird behaviour, generally works well enough to always keep you on the brink of ruin, which is the most fun state to play. Combined with being very moddable, this ensures the game will always be interesting

Adventure maps allow people to make crafted stories with scripted combat encounters, data packs let people randomize or modify parts of the game for challenge runs, and servers can have all sorts of custom game modes.

That's excluding Forge mods which allow all sorts of things to be added to the game, including fantastical dimensions, flying machines, massive manufacturing chains, and tons of new building blocks. I've played countless modpacks and each can give hundreds of hours of fun, it's fair to say someone could easily sink thousands of hours into the game over years of playing.

@MatsurisAhoge - Minecraft

Minecraft is a flexible game: you can spend hours exploring the world and mining for diamonds, or you could build a giant city. You can relax and multitask or you can join with friends for an adventure and give it your full attention. The vanilla alone is something you can sink thousands of hours in to. Mods add a whole other level of complexity and refresh your interest. There are mods to go on Adventures to fight new mobs and find fetch loot, technology mods that let you build complicated ore processing so you can build ever larger contraptions, and magic mods with varying degrees of complex magic. Its the best crafting survival game.

Team Fortress 2 with 16 votes

@TheDunceonMaster - TF2

Team Fortress 2 is a fast-paced multiplayer first person shooter. The gameplay is characterized by each of the 9 classes having a variety of play styles, vertical mobility, and high lethality. The timeless art style and well-written characters give the game a personality that's allowed it to outlive all of its contemporaries. What's best of all is that in TF2 lobbies, people are playing to have a good time. The chaotic nature of the game has stopped anyone from optimizing the fun out of it.

@Shellshock - TF2

Few multiplayer games manage to strike a good balance between player choice and inherently good game design at its core, which I think is the main cause of TF2’s longevity. Most players of the game might think of it as a class-based shooter with a healthy amount of character customization used to achieve different strategies, and interestingly enough how even strategies that aren’t “the meta” are still pretty fun to play. But even if you strip away all the fluff of customization, it still remains a well balanced multiplayer FPS at its core.

And our winner with unbelievable TWENTY-ONE VOTES is: :marseyparty:

FALLOUT NEW VEGAS

And here are our amazing reviews!!!

@Szrotmistrz - Fallout New Vegas

Is Fallout new Vegas with it’s „Le Hegelian Dialectics” some artistic masterpiece? No, but it’s a darn good game. The world is coherent and thought out, with every settlement feeling like part of a bigger picture, characters even with few lines of dialogue are given, well... character, everything feel grounded in the setting, and works to expand and deepen it. As for the gameplay, while the combat is nothing to write home about, the core of the game is role-playing and choices associated with that, the perks on level ups you are given are meaningful, every weapon category is viable, and your skills have impact outside of combat, which while not high praise, is in contrast to far too many RPG. Lastly, and most importantly, the quest, are just interesting, and when needed will give you a choice. Even fetch quests, with associated dialogue and context are somewhat made to feel meaningful. All in all, it’s a great game, and definitively the best 1st person RPG I played, by a mile.

@BasicallyADoxxer - FNV

Fallout New Vegas was contracted out to the neckbeard geniuses behind Fallout 1 & 2, in an uncharacteristically smart move by Bethesda to follow up the success of their 3D foray with the franchise that was Fallout 3 while they were busy with the Elder Scrolls. The game was at release and still can be a buggy, obviously unfinished mess but is still regarded as one of the best RPGs of all time which should speak to it's content quality. The setting, atmosphere, story, writing, characters, gameplay, RPG elements, and music are all top notch and I think the reason it appealed to so many people: it's hard to find anything to hate here especially as a norman first time RPG player. The game gives you a barebones backstory/motive, throws you into the Mojave desert with the Vegas strip tantalizingly close, and says good luck have fun.

@PlattyTude - FNV

Fallout New Vegas toes the line of depth and accessibility, offering the player, multiple approaches to combat, quest resolution, exploring, and character builds. The setting and atmosphere is familiar, while offering a unique twist with it's combination of post-apocalyptic sci-fi and cowboy western in 1940s esque ameriKKKana. Memorable characters, sympathetic factions, and a sick butt soundtrack.

@MommyIssues provides a solid conclusion:

While there has been a lot of political sperging regarding FNV's factions from :marseytrans2: and :chudsmug: alike, I really like how the game doesnt push you in any one particular direction, heck most characters aren't essential to at least one ending. Also, the gun/mod/ammo customization system is great and the gunplay is kino as frick.

This entire paragraph sucked and I'm deeply sorry for that. But it is what it is.


... Platform

Since my instructions were not particularly clear, this entire paragraph may not have the most solid arguments to support the conclusions, but it still serves as a valuable basis to reasonably assess the distribution of platforms that our fellow users are using. If anything, PC should be much larger as a lot of people didn't add any information regarding the platform and I had to add the (NO) tag. Well, not always because I did assume a lot of times whether this user has played the game on that platform so :marseyshrug:

Also I made these plots before all people (like 5 at most) responded so it may not be completely accurate

Console generations before the 6th have not enough data for such plots (and even the current plots are murky at best). Overall the PS2 and the Xbox360 are the most popular consoles with the number of votes being roughly equal at around 40. The PS4 appears right behind that. Overall the 6th generation (around 90 votes) seems to be the most popular generation while the current generation (9th) is by far the least popular (~10 votes).


Final Words

The hardest part of doing this wasn't even getting a lot of replies or writing this post. I was convincing my fellow drama users that it was a worthwhile experience - as they simply couldn't believe that it had any actual value. I think there's value in this and I hope you had as much fun reading this as I had writing it. Also, I think this will be my last post here like ever. So thank you all for everything :marseylove:

Is it beneficial to be a woman on this site? Let's take a look

@JustASluttyB-word recently made this post decrying that their post looking for people to play Yugioh with received far less comments than my post looking for people to play MTG with did. Little did he know, I made that post not to actually find anyone to play with because I expected no one would offer, and I made that post solely after seeing his to make this post analyzing what the positives of being a woman on here are, because I knew someone would point out that previous point and the supposed double standard.

How many people actually offered to play with me?

In short, zero. The only person who said they were down was Carp, who primarily made his reply to continue the bit of "simping" for me, but I will get to that later.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16873783507191784.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16873783578887978.webp

These are the two DMs I received in response to my post. One of them bizarre and seems like some kind of bit. The other complaining about WOTC being "woke" which I could not care about in the slightest. Neither jumping at the chance to play or providing any sense of validation.

The comments on my post

Well as the above post details, I received a lot of comments on my post, so clearly there must be simps and people itching to play with me in the replies, right? Not exactly. Let's see:

First there are geniuses who don't realize me mentioning "playing at a competitive level once" as a warning was an obvious joke.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16873791179285138.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16873791128819501.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16873792035861783.webp

Then there are those who repeat the same tired thing about women not playing card games or that being a woman and playing a card game makes you a pickme or "not like other girls"

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16873791055880194.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16873793938615465.webp

Finally the declaration that the thread would assuredly be full of "hardcore simping".

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16873791002813907.webp

Here is my original post if you would like to go through the comments yourself and find the "hardcore simping" that this top comment predicts would be there. I'd love to see it.

I can't believe so many of you fall for the obvious bait

I know incels are braindead and as predictable and obvious as the phases of the moon but it still shocks me how many people continue to fall for the bit of Carp "simping" for me. I'm sorry to him for kind of ruining his bit but he clearly finds it funny how people accuse him of simp behavior and how they react negatively to it. Any functioning human being who actually talks to other people other than the Internet and has more than two braincells clanging around their head can see that's the case. We don't talk in private at all and his responses are clearly geared to rile up that crowd and they keep taking the bait over and over again. Jesus Christ. It's honestly sad.

In conclusion

I would prefer if people didn't know what I look like and that I'm female since the majority of comments I receive about my looks are "basic ethot/5 out of 10/mid/BPD whore" (which honestly doesn't really bother me because I actually go outside and receive a totally different reaction out in the wild so I know here it is just lazy trolling/general incel stuff and I like how I look and am confident in myself) but it is repetitive and boring and the near constant "you have so many simps" comments drown out so much of my interactions on here.

Maybe I will just abandon this account and make a totally anonymous one if I get too annoyed, I shall see.

1) I gave Penny multiple grass awards which were removed today from their main @Penny account + alt account @lagrangian despite zero grass touching

2) Penny previously posted a fake "grass" pic like a week or so ago and then quickly deleted it because it wasn't even a grass pic and it was demonstrably faked for them lmao:

Behold the unaltered grass pic (and note I did not add the black marks, penny did for obvious reasons)

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1694332950066703.webp

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16943329498882678.webp

Compared to other pictures of the person who faked the picture for them

3) Normally idgaf but in this case I've wasted tens of thousands of dramacoins playing by the rules of rdrama.net (in the form of grass awards and various other awards and shit) to call out what I can see (and the largely silent majority of others on rdrama can see) is an obvious larp and because of that (by tangent) I also caught a bullshit 1-week admin ban for this as well, THUS please forgive me but I'm not going to pretend everything's "cool" just because my own bullshit admin ban expired

4) "Penny" called me fake btw. 😂😂😂 Lets put our cards on the table, Dwhite Dynamite face dox, featuring real black women 💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿 lol:

5) The evidence that Penny is a larp is overwhelming at this point. Everything Penny has said "proving" they're not a larp has been discussed to death and everyone's sick of hearing about it. Look at how penny talks now vs new account penny. It's so fricking obvious it's painful to watch people eat this shit up.

:#marseyoctopus2:

In case anyone has missed how obvious it is, here are some threads dissecting the mountains of tertiary evidence and everything to help flesh the picture out:

https://rdrama.net/post/195944/wait-so-theres-no-actual-proof

6) If your too lazy to read the above shit, some of the important take aways include that Penny apparently ONLY logs into rdrama on a SWEDISH VPN for OPSEC (because that makes fricking sense lol) and has countless ties to all things swedish including an ex-swedish boyfriend and her BEST friend on rdrama is swedish of course. E.g. also calls bathrooms "water closets"! Very Southern of her! 💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿

7) !jannies Did you know what account holds the record (BY FAR) for deleting their own comments?? Penny! Yes, penny has deleted approx. over 1200 of their own comments, which besides being the HIGHEST ranked by volume of self-deleted comments by number of ANY prolific rdrama poster, is ALSO about the highest ranked by overall percentage which is between 4-5% of Penny's total comments lmao. I wonder if there's anything weird or contradicting in those 1200 deleted comments which only admins can see!

:#marseyhmm::#marseyhmmm:

NOTE: This is AFTER accounting for ALL the comments removed by autojanny btw for chud awards which only amount to about 90 chud-removed comments lol. Also in addition, you'll NEVER guess which account is a close 2nd place in both metrics to the Penny account! lol it's dramacel of course

8) It would literally take "Penny" 5 minutes to prove I've r-slurred and completely destroy my word and reputation at this point. INSTEAD of doing that, Penny has spent days to weeks arguing in every thread on alts calling everyone pointing out the obvious as stalkers or appealing to third hand testimony of dramatard friends as somehow proof XD

9) I want a fricking refund of all my coins wasted on this and Penny should not be an admin because there is no penny (except for the one in our hearts that liberally handed out N-word passes to the unwashed masses of rDrama by proxy)

10) Lol frick you, fake-butt nikka cac scrote :#marseypenny2::#marseyblackfacepenny: :#spit2:

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday handed a sweeping win to former President Donald Trump by ruling that states cannot kick him off the ballot over his actions leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — bringing a swift end to a case with huge implications for the 2024 election.

In an unsigned ruling with no dissents, the court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court, which had determined that Trump could not serve again as president under Section 3 of the Constitution's 14th Amendment.

The provision prohibits those who previously held government positions but later “engaged in insurrection” from running for various offices.

The court said the Colorado Supreme Court had wrongly assumed that states can determine whether a presidential candidate or other candidate for federal office is ineligible.

The ruling makes it clear that Congress, not states, has to set rules on how the 14th Amendment provision can be enforced against federal office-seekers. As such, the decision applies to all states, not just Colorado. States retain the power to bar people running for state office from appearing on the ballot under Section 3.

"Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the states, responsible for enforcing section 3 against all federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse," the ruling said.

By deciding the case on that legal question, the court avoided any analysis or determination of whether Trump's actions constituted an insurrection.

The decision comes just a day before the Colorado primary.

Minutes after the ruling, Trump hailed the decision in an all-capital-letters post on his social media site, writing, "Big win for America!!!"

[cont.]

In addition to ensuring that Trump remains on the ballot in Colorado, the decision will end similar cases that have arisen. So far, only two other states, Maine and Illinois, have followed Colorado's path. Like the Colorado ruling, both those decisions were put on hold.

In a statement, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold acknowledged that the court ruled “that states do not have the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment for federal candidates. In accordance with this decision, Donald Trump is an eligible candidate on Colorado's 2024 Presidential Primary.”

The Supreme Court decision removes one avenue to holding Trump accountable for his role in challenging the 2020 election results, including his exhortation that his supporters should march on the Capitol on Jan. 6, when Congress was about to formalize Joe Biden's win.

Trump is facing criminal charges for the same conduct. The Supreme Court in April will hear oral arguments on his broad claim of presidential immunity.

The ruling warned of the dangers of a patchwork of decisions around the country that could send elections into chaos if state officials had the freedom to determine who could appear on the ballot for president.

"The result could well be that a single candidate would be declared ineligible in some states, but not others, based on the same conduct," the ruling said.

Although the bottom-line vote was unanimous, there were some divisions on the court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, as to how the case was resolved. The three liberal justices — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — complained in a jointly written concurring opinion that the court had decided more than it needed to by laying out how Section 3 could be enforced by Congress.

They said the decision could "insulate" Trump from "future controversy," adding that the ruling "shuts the door on other potential means of federal enforcement" of section 3.

Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett agreed that the court went further than required, although she did not join the liberal justices' opinion.

Barrett said although she had some disagreements with the rationale, the liberals should not “amplify disagreement” in such a politically charged case.

“All nine justices agree on the outcome of this case. That is the message Americans should take home," she added.

The Colorado court based its Dec. 19 ruling on Section 3, which was enacted after the Civil War to prevent former Confederates from returning to power in the U.S. government.

The case raised several novel legal issues, including whether the language applies to candidates for president and who gets to decide whether someone engaged in an insurrection.

The state high court's decision reversed a lower court's ruling in which a judge said that Trump had engaged in insurrection by inciting the Jan. 6 riot but that presidents are not subject to the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment because they are not an “officer of the United States.”

Trump and his allies raised that point, as well as other arguments that the 14th Amendment cannot be applied. They also argued that Jan. 6 was not an insurrection.

Republicans, including Trump's primary opponents, broadly supported his claim that any attempt to kick him off the ballot is a form of partisan election interference. Some Democrats including California Gov. Gavin Newsom have also expressed unease about the 14th Amendment provision being used as a partisan weapon.

The initial lawsuit was filed on behalf of six Colorado voters by the left-leaning government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and two law firms.

They alleged in court papers that Trump “intentionally organized and incited a violent mob to attack the United States Capitol in a desperate attempt to prevent the counting of electoral votes cast against him.”

Colorado is one of more than a dozen states that has its primary election Tuesday.

Anyway we have a highly visible person here now

Please say hecko to @P-dophile_Pissminge (original name Trollcow, but namelocked despite the Newhat through a series of hilarious mishaps)

Sprate describes her thusly:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17047255923349543.webp

As we are a Fair & Balanced website, @P-dophile_Pissminge rebuts these assertions with this video.

There's been a bit of a back and forth between them for a couple days now as Sprate responds to her tweets and rDrama posts with KF comments and Trollcow responds to Sprate's KF comments with tweets of screenshots of them and rDrama. It's very convoluted but the key takeaway is that rDrama is being seen and I think that's fun.

@P-dophile_Pissminge blocked @Sprate it seems

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17047255933169634.webp

but has also tweeted this

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17047255932586145.webp

so I've just given him Unblockable to avoid any nasty cognitive dissonance. Which brings us to the crux of this thread:

I need 11k to offset this cost. This is a fundraiser. I spent it to bring you all future content, I think 22k is a good goal for this fundraiser; it's not a huge ask, it's not an especially large profit, but it does incentivize further fieldwork as I was responsible for bringing @P-dophile_Pissminge here in the first place.

Failure to meet goal will signal clearly to me that rDrama prefers the carp blogposts and I will be happy to oblige. I have an absolutely riveting story to share about the boring blue boy painting from Coraline.

Thanks!

I'm not talking about people that hold r-slurred internet viewpoints (commies, fascists, racists, ziggers, leftoids, incels, etc). I'm talking about people that are prone to completely flipping their lid, it just so happens that most of them also have r-slurred internet viewpoints

Lmao can we talk about exactly why Lawlz likes Reddit more than this place? :marseyclueless: :requiredreading:

!dramatards !metashit I love Lawlz as much as the next person but I think we're taking his comment a little too seriously. There's a pretty good chance he's legitimately covering his butt in case his, heh, movie career takes off. Odds are he's simply outgrown wanting to shitpost with us. It happens :marseyshrug: Dude was always a little normie pilled :marseyregular:

He says there's too many chuds but let's not overlook this statement of his.

joking aside though I really do think the dust has settled and the admins wouldn't really care if we reopened so long as we behaved ourselves and just kept it to slightly edgy humor like back in the day.

He's legitimately forgotten how much they hate us. Like @Redactor0 said he's forgotten or never learned about events like the place Marsey that prove how irrational the admin disdain for us is. How they'll janny for no reason at the mere reminder we exist. There's no way we could go back. rDrama would be Final Solutioned if it turned active again and if a whole lot of accounts that the turbo mops have red flagged all move back to it at once. I'm fairly certain our early baitops subs were banned just because Reddit will deploy auto-guided mops to any sub that immediately gains too many tracked no-no users :marseyjanny:

And like @Stoicpeace said a lot of us are IP/device/whatever the frick else banned on Reddit so we can't just start fresh. Sure there's ways around this but I personally don't care to put that effort into just shitposting when I can do that here. Sure it can be worth it for the rare baitop but Lawlz would have the rest of us jump through hoops just to use Reddit normally. Why? So I can see all those /r/movies posts I was really missing out on? :marseysmug3:

And why does Lawlz even want the subreddit back? :marseyconfused2: Putting aside the chud talk :littlestchuddy: This site is superior to Reddit on a technical level :capychad3: We have the dramacoin system and fun awards. More customizable profiles. It's easy to embed images and videos into comments plus we can share music files. The UI isn't aids like New Reddit and is customizable. There's never as much input lag either. :pepehacker:

Lawlz seems to have an obsession with Reddit in particular and I don't think he ever liked the idea of an off-site. It simply doesn't matter to him that this place is better. It's funny to me that one comment from him twisted this site into a chud war when the simple truth is that Lawlz just likes Reddit itself :idontknow:

He doesn't much think about us at all
