Weeb? Skyrim and elder scrolls are American made video games based on European lore and history. I had too google the weeb word. I actually don’t like anime I just happened to like medieval fantasy genres which is pretty different than what you are suggesting and it was developed in the USA by a USA based studio. Learn what words mean and what about the subjects before you start talking shit you look like a 12 year old little boy btw get the fuck out of here you little cunt

Hello.

You are receiving this message because you posted in defense of Donald Trump. I no longer provide individual responses on this matter. It has been my experience that Trump supporters are universally incapable of accepting verifiable truths about him and, by extension, themselves, thus rendering discussion pointless and, therefore, a waste of time.

I wish you all the best in your ongoing battle with reality.

Yours respectfully, a logical person.

Gaming’s cultural reputation is born partly from the sense that playing is a way of avoiding responsibility, of escaping into virtual worlds where nothing matters. But Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game about both making choices and living with them, about taking responsibility for how you’ve lived.

Wow, and here I was thinking that my time invested into WoW was a total waste of time and a blight on my life! I guess my responsibilities in my favorite video game are actually totally equivalent to real world responsibilities and negative consequences will not emerge from conflating these two things.

Yet video games remain something of a second-class cultural medium, even as geek culture has otherwise ascended into the mainstream. Today’s elite tastemakers might be perfectly comfortable discussing the inner workings of the banking system in Westeros, but gaming is still stigmatized, at best as a guilty pleasure, and at worst as a psychologically destructive hobby for socially stunted young men.

Remember someone is paid well above the national income average to write this

As they should be, the only wrong part about that is that it describes gaming as second-class, when it should be described as being far lower, lower even than furries tbh

Gaming makes too much money to every be ostracised, as justified as it may be. This article being a big reason to ostracise everyone associated with gayming.

Indeed brother, inshallah

Well duh. Writing requires a brain, while most nation's average incomes are driven by those jobs which...do not.

It's a pretty bitchin game tbh fam

right up until the last 1/4

I hope this gets NYT readers to play games so I can harass them.

gamers. they supported gamers.

Or maybe, just maybe, games are just games, and the idea that they're "telling gamers" this or that is largely just the poisonous influence of the "socialization uber alles" crowd.

This obsession with the "message" a game sends is just as shitty when they see a positive image in the ink blot.

hit or miss

I guess I'm already Tracer

I havent played the new one but if its anything like the one before it then it's just GTA in wild west setting.

No, you can’t buy hookers there

I don't want a SWAT officer to shoot me in the face because I targeted the brave gamers or anything, but I fucking hate the game. Been "playing" the fucking thing for like 3 hours and it feels like I'm still being walked through the tutorial. You know that first part of Metal Gear Solid 5, where you're forced to crawl on the hospital floor, and you can't do shit? That's what this entire game has felt like so far.

Art sucks and gamers are dead.
