You like the following:

You're glad the enemy names don't pop up.

The new perk system.

The new menu UI.

Glad Ghost is hidden until late game.

And that you think this has the best match flow of any COD and this one could potentially be the goat.

If they disagree let them know how casual they are.

My examples below:

Just played for 4 hours, this is going to be the GOAT COD. Sorry your crutch ghost perk and nametags are gone you noobs. Guess it's time to actually get good at a shooter.

Another one:

The sound is ridiculous. This is probably the best sounding video game I've ever played.

Getting used to the new perk system, actually digging it, changes up the pace of a match.

Excited to try out the new weapons progression system when the game releases.

Not having enemy name tags is a great decision, makes you pay extra attention, please don't bring them back.

Just based on the beta this has the making to be the best COD of all time.

Only thing that needs to be worked on is the menus, a bit confusing, but starting to slowly get used to it.

I unironicly like everything but the UI.

Think about it. The game released in 2000. You could completely upgrade the graphics and feel of the game. Make it look at good as cyberpunk.

Keep a similar story but with certain changes to the futuristic tech and corpo stuff to match more with the current direction of the technological trends and global direction of world politics and new conspiracies.

Don't left wing or right wing it. Do the everyone is already wrong to too many degrees if they chose a side or something like that.

Have JC still have the snark dialogue options.

The first deus ex was set in 2052.

Have the remake set in 2075-2078.

Have subplots about an emergent AI with it's own country and independence gained in 2060 with a seat at the UN.

Have full biotech upgrades.

Have a UBI to keep everyone alive but it still left everyone at the bottom wanting more and feeling unfairly wronged meanwhile the gap between the bottom and top keeps growing to the point that both of them no longer consider each other truly human.

Have Africa filled with skylines like New York. Have notes about the millions dead famines of the 2030's.

Have drones fighting for rights in human cities.

Have a global conspiracy in the background.

Have links to aliens from Alpha Centauri trying to hack into humanity.

Have a disease that is making all those infected reject their augments and begin to corrode and die.

Have some political trans animal stuff mixed in on the news as new movements of weird shit are rising in the future. Have the conservative guy be like I draw the line at trans races.

Have a Q like conspiracy then have a second Q like group but these are the ones who actually got it right.

Have giant robots manning the streets to keep order.

Have terrorist cells with billions to trillion dollar empires spanning half a continent.

Have the Japanese cope with being a dying culture by doubling down on their special cultural status and isolating from the world.

Have South Korea be a collapsed nation.

Have every single grunt and soldier in the game appear OP by today's standards but still be weak compared to JC.

Everything changed but everything is still the same, but also there is a sci fi illuminati fighting with an emergent AI and possibly some hints of aliens scheming in the distance as flavor plot to determine the direction of humanity's future.

Have Iran as the strongest US ally in the middle east.

Go wild with the future tech and the future politics. The singularity came, and it changed nothing for the planet except a large no humans allowed bubble on one side of the planet.

We need a deus ex remake now more than ever. Let's get the ball rolling.

Having skipped Splatoon 2 this is a pretty good upgrade from 1 imo (idk how much hear is new from Splatoon 2 so I cant comment on if its worth the upgrade). I really like the new specials they are fun in how everyone can be countered rather then just the generic area clearing stuff of one. The weapon Varity continues to be top notch. The Match making system sucks still and the sad is the hourly map and game mode switching which people shat on when Splatoon 1 came out is now main stream in multiplayer games.

this is only 2 hours in. I'm having a lot of fun, the knife is goated and the movement is leagues better then mw1. they added this cool dive move thats so much fun. For the guns all you need is the FSS Hurricane its a laser but still has 50 bullets and fast movement speed. Anyway plz post your own clips below and ridicule me for playing games after work.

Sam fishers a Jewish trans man 💅🏽

Also ign website is like the worst gaming site. It automatically switches to your region like who would want to read gaming news in Dutch ?

In the smasher fight near the end, V should use slow mo and when he does that smasher too should activate slow mo, such that everything else is moving super slow but both v and smasher are still moving at the same speed. Similarly in the ninja fight V should have been able to use slow mo ability to fight at the same speed as the ninja ( IDK if this actually can be done in game.) .

It ain’t backwards completable with vr 1 me not interested I wanted to buy it to plat Ff fishing game to have all FF games platinums and trophies but that vr2 won’t make it happen so I am just going to cheat my way out

Some selected comments:

1. Good lord man you are obsessed. Checks ops post history, all he posts about is how star citizen is terrible lmao. What kind of smear campaign are you running here? Go on drop the figure, how much money did you donate in the first place to be THIS obsessed about bad mouthing it?

2. Say it with me: You aren’t forced to spend hundreds of dollars for the best ship. The cheapest to play the game is $35-45. You can earn the most expensive $$$ currently flyable ship in game. There are multiple game loops, cargo hauling, bounty hunting, mining, and being a criminal. Plus other side missions. The devs are the most transparent about their progress than any other game studio with 3 videos a week highlighting their progress. Players are physically FORCED to check a box before buying a ship stating “you are backing an unfinished alpha game” just because a $2000 ship exists doesn’t mean you are forced at gun point to buy it. There is no trickery, support the game or not, in the end it’s the players fault if they feel scammed. Especially with the copious amount of gameplay / let’s play videos out there, judge it for yourself.

3. Star Citizen is a scam. Plain and simple.

4. I told people YEARS ago that this "game" was a scam and would never see a proper release. People got big mad at me. Apparently I was the idiot and didn't know what I was talking about. lmao.

5. You can play it now... If you like it you can spend more... "Game launch" doesn't matter to the people playing it nightly. Also totally normal post history there OP

6. So is this your only hobby? Pooping on Star Citizen? It’s literally your entire post and comment history. I feel for you. Try to enjoy something, let others enjoy something.

7. Biggest scam in gaming history and dumb asses still pay them. Lol a joke of a game and player base

8. How does one even spend this much money and not have a game to show for it? This is mismanagement in its purest form.

9. The sheer Copium posts of star citizen supporters never bores.

10. Who cares. EA makes 7 billion a year and look at how many of those games flop, look how many are unfinished and being left behind. They cant even put their NhL game on PC.

11. Biggest scam in gaming history

It's a game where you roleplay as a father to two daughters and your job is to be the best father in the world. The gameplay mechanics are simple, you get a character creation screen where you can set up your dad, it can be anyone from a trans dad, lesbian dad, single father, black dad ( it's a video game fantasies are allowed), Jewish dad, poor dad, rich dad, etc. Whichever kind of dad you choose will change how your character acts and loads of dialogue options and work and outside the house activity scenarios.

When you play the game every time you stop to make a decision or say something you will get 4-6 options for what to say or what to do and depending on the choices you make your relationship with the people around you changes and new story segments are unlocked or skipped over. Every choice matters.

Some examples of the story events:

1. Your daughter is leaving her home in skimpy clothes for a party what do you say:

A) Have fun dear!

B) Wow, you look amazing, almost makes me jealous of the boys your age.

C) Eh, whatever, i don't care.

D) Wow, I didn't know I was raising a whore

E) You shouldn't wear that.

F) (Unlocked) Hey what about that dress (the way more skin covering one) that we just bought at the store today, you should totally try out that new outfit for the outing today.

1. Some aliens break into your house, there is blinding light outside. You hear screams emanating from your house, more disorienting then whatever flash grenade the aliens just threw in. What do you do:

A) I must check on my younger girl first! (Run to bedroom)

B) I must check on my older girl first! (Run to other bedroom)

C) I must call the police! ( Run downstairs)

D) I bet those aliens have nuts! (Run at alien to kick)

E) I must hide and trust the kids can handle themselves. ( Hide in closet like a real man)

1. Your daughter is getting married off to Chad Thunder*ock. It is your turn to give out the eulogy:

A) We are here today.....love....happiness....proud....

B) (Unlockable) Weuarrrr.....slurred speech.... brusts......dikoutfurambe......

C) (unlockable Charisma and Humor 20+) I can't believe this young man, this sonoab-word fell for the simplest trick in the book, and now here he is stuck with her for the rest of her life!....to this amazing woman....love....humor....faith

D) (Unlockable low charisma low self esteem) Cries and pisses self on stage.

The entire story plays out like that and is about 10 hours long. Cost will be about 30 Dollars.

So do you have what it takes to be the best dad? Come find out. Pre-order now for billionaire dad and alien dad DLC. Or wait one year for everything to be shipped together in a game of the year version disk.

Indie auteur Tobias Fox has publicly shown his face for the first time in years, while doing a bit and pretending to be a schizo during a promotional stream

This wouldn't be special, if the guy didn't go out of his way to hide his face from the internet. Some photos from his days before fame surfaced up over the years, showing a wondrous transformation

He went from looking like a huwaite boy with jewish characteristics

Into el judío mexicano

The last photo of his face that he officially posted on his social media during e3 2015

Ever since Undertale got popular, he began mystifying his character and using all sorts of masks to conceal his face (likely inspired by some japanese devs)

DHS to Spend Almost $700,000 Investigating ‘Radicalization in Gaming’

The Department of Homeland Security has awarded a $699,763 grant to terrorism and security researchers to study the cross section of extremism and gaming.

“Over the past decade, video games have increasingly become focal points of social activity and identity creation for adolescents and young adults. Relationships made and fostered within game ecosystems routinely cross over into the real world and are impactful parts of local communities,” the grant announcement on the DHS website said. “Correspondingly, extremists have used video games and targeted video game communities for activities ranging from propaganda creation to terrorist mobilization and training.”

The money is going to a joint venture between the Middlebury Institute’s Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism (CTEC), Take This, which is a nonprofit specializing in mental health in video gaming, and Logically, a company attempting to solve the problem of bad online behavior at scale.

The project will seek to develop “a set of best practices and centralized resources for monitoring and evaluation of extremist activities as well as a series of training workshops for the monitoring, detection, and prevention of extremist exploitation in gaming spaces for community managers, multiplayer designers, lore developers, mechanics designers, and trust and safety professionals,” according to the DHS announcement.

Extremism and terrorist recruitment, especially among white nationalist and white supremacists groups, has been a prolific problem in the online gaming space. “Game developers in general—from small, independent studios to billion-dollar multinational corporations—have lagged in awareness of how extremists may attempt to exploit their games, and how their communities can be targeted for radicalization,” the DHS announcement said.

White nationalists and other extremist groups have thrived in the online gaming space. For a few years, the digital storefront Steam was a hotbed of groups openly espousing Neo-Nazi beliefs and worshiping school shooters. The Anti-Defamation League has reported on the problem, but no one is quite sure just how widespread it is. Steam began quietly deleting the groups, but the problem persists.

The people behind this DHS project want to change that. “I realized this was an area that was very under-researched (and by under researched I mean there was literally none) and it was then that I pivoted my work towards looking at hate, harassment, extremism, and radicalization in gaming spaces,” Dr. Rachel Kowert, Research Director at Take This, told Motherboard. She reached out to Alex Newhouse, the Deputy Director at CTEC, and the pair started researching the issue. “This grant is the culmination of our efforts over the last 2 to 3 years,” she said.

It’s not a topic the U.S. Government has spent a lot of time on. Until the last few years, the federal government’s counterterrorism efforts were largely focused on the Middle East. The FBI investigated threats related to G*merGate and released its files on that to the public in 2017. Kowert and Newhouse took part in a roundtable discussion at the DHS in 2021. “At that time it was a lot of postulation because the research just is incredibly limited in this space,” Kowert said.

Newhouse and Kowert presented some of their early findings at the Game Developer’s Conference in 2022. This grant will help them build on that. “From the preliminary work Alex and I have done, it is likely that it will lean towards white nationalism and white supremacy,” Kowert said.
