Game to Discuss?

What is responsible for the downfall of the west? Theories abound, but my preferred theory traces its downfall to the release of Huniepop, in 2015. It's chief innovation was in discovering the combination of coomer pleasing and ultra-casual gameplay, being essentially a clone of Candy Crush. Before the release of Huniepop, coomers had to make do with coom games which were either ultra difficult, insanely neurodivergent, or literally not a game (I'd provide examples, but you really don't want them), and, invariably, featured insane amounts of terrible not-your-fetish content. Huniepop discarded all this baggage with relative ease, being simple, not neurodivergent, relatively vanilla, and minimally gamelike. This laid the foundation for the modern mobile game, in many ways, given that the average mobile game aimed at moids has the exact same characteristics, and these mobile games, in turn, caused wh*te moids to abandon the prospect of breeding, forever. The best part of this formula is that it's not all that offputting to foids - they can handle the gameplay, and don't really mind the coomer nonsense, and if there happens to be femboys, foids will flock to it like a moth to flame (see: Genshin Impact). Anyways, remember to leave your votes in the pinned comment (though votes > 1 will be taken as a sign that you endorse the downfall of the west).

Gaming circlejerk sub is already having a meltdown over this:

Some totally not coping comments:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Gamingcirclejerk/comments/1fs6rrr/i_cant_believe_american_and_dei_would_do_this_to/lpi6ap2/?context=8

That translation looks suspicious, can anyone confirm its validity?

EDIT: I only found one article covering this and it's from NicheG*mer, which I'm unfamiliar with. It could be real but bringing up YouTube culture war talking points out of pocket in an interview seems pretty weird.

UM MY TOTALLY NOT BIASED SOURCES DO NOT COVER THIS YET

He's a disgusting boomer chud so it's probably right. Japanese people are stuck in the past.

EVEN IF ITS TRUE HES A STUPID BOOMER CHUD IT DOESNT MATTER

https://old.reddit.com/r/Gamingcirclejerk/comments/1fs6rrr/i_cant_believe_american_and_dei_would_do_this_to/lpi69vf/?context=8

Forget about modern Japanese 'culture' , someone need to forced these chud to learn all the gay shit in real Japanese history and see if they can mental gymnastics their way out,there's no DEI .modern degeneracy or 'western corruption' they can blame those on.

Someone even wrote a guide on femboy brothel (those teens wear women's clothes)during Edo period , who are they gonna blame for? the Dutch?

DOESNT THIS STUPID GOOK JAP UNDERSTAND HIS OWN COUNTRY'S HISTORY FRICKING R-SLURRED YELLOW FREAK IT WAS ALWAYS FULL OF LE GAY AND FUTAS AND LGBT

>The company, which publishes gaming and esports brands including Twinfinite, Dot Esports and Destructoid and is based between Australia, the US and Europe, informed affected staff simultaneously via a blanket email.

The cuts appear to have affected several editors and long-serving employees.

The mass email told laid-off staff the cuts followed "a thorough structural review" during which the company "considered all potential alternatives" but was "unable to identify any suitable alternative positions for you within the company at this time".

I was really bored and low energy so I decided to do some chemistrypilled synthesismaxxing to unwind. I'm really happy I don't need to know anything about organic chemistry to enjoy this . Don't really have anything to add so here's a couple of solutions that I found to be interesting to look at (though not necessarily optimal).

@MayflyAlt-98 do you have little robots that move around hydrogen ions in your lab? I expect this game to be 100% true to life.

G*mers rise up

[Apparently I forgot to save the game at the end of the last episode or I saved it under some really esoteric name I don't remember so we're still halfway to Wesel. It doesn't really affect anything.]

Notice how the seasons actually change in this game! If you want a game that's really really good about seasons, look up Shadow Empire. You can play on planets with radically different axial tilt and it actually matters.

Oh no. These people chose to frick with us. You want my briefcase. I'm not giving you my goddarn briefcase.

Like Michael Douglas I try to have Sasha talk them out of this. Didn't work.

We're faced with some ordinary bandits who we should make short work of. But they have a leader who is wearing cuirboulli armor (the same as our people). He's got a shield. He's got a longsword, which is at least comparable to our weapons. And they're of fair quality. This is the first relatively tough opponent we've faced. If you've been made to read a few pages of Clausewitz by some tard you might think this guy is the enemy's "center of gravity" so we'll attack him. Heck no. Anybody who knows anything about fighting knows you go for the enemy's weakness. We'll try to kill off his loser companions. Then when we're in a 4v1 one with him, it will go exactly like in real life. He will die really fast.

The bandits try to hit us from two sides, trying to throw us off. Big mistake. All four of us go east to hit those two. We only have a few seconds alone with them, but double-teaming them it doesn't take long to cut them down. After that it was kind of a blur. We engaged the other three guys but Redactor got the heck beaten out of him and knocked unconscious for reasons I'm not sure of. Must have been a really lucky hit. The rest of the party won the fight though. I think we really need better armor.

Redactor is banged up really bad but the upside to this is that the equipment that tough guy had will get us a good price when we sell it. (Unlike Rimworld, you can stab a guy to death and still sell his clothes to the local thrift store for full price.)

We're hurt bad so we'll go to the nuns for help. It's a different city so they'll help us. Wait. WTF??? Story of my fricking life. I think we got enough money to heal up at the inn but it's going to take time. And as every 40 year old boomer can tell you, time is not on our side. (Literally. Our older characters will lose strength as time goes by.)

I don't know if we're ready for this yet, but let's try to get some quests. Various people have quests but the bankers are the most likely. There's the Fuggers from Austria and the Medicis from Italy. Also the Hanseatic League aren't really bankers but they need to get some tasks done in the same way. The problem is, how are we going to get taken seriously? We haven't done any quests so we're not famous yet. We need someone to talk these people into giving us one. Sasha is very charismatic, but she's not yet 2006 Torino level.

Maybe we can give her a little boost? Redactor knows St. Anthony, who can boost Charisma and Speak Common (the skill of just knowing to speak German well enough to talk people into things). He can pray for St. Anthony to help Sasha. But religion in the 1400s is very transactional. If you want something, you're expected to pay for it. That's where Divine Favor comes in. This is, in terms of gameplay mechanics, your mana. You can't just constantly pray every time you hit a speed bump in your life and expect your problems to be solved for you. When you pray you pay Divine Favor points.

And you're not guaranteed anyone is going to listen. The other crucial number here is your Virtue skill, which appropriately is the most important skill in the game by far. It increases your chances of saintly intervention. You increase it by doing good deeds as a Christian. The higher your Virtue the more likely it is that saints will actually listen to you. Even Yuna has saints that she has no chance with right now. When we combat the forces of Satan and do charity to the poor and oppressed we'll bump that number up.

For the purposes of this LP I'm going to just spend all her DF to make sure she has a 99% chance of being heard.

Wow that's a pretty big impact. Let's see if any of these bankers care. Many of them just will not give you a quest because not everyone needs a party of four bold individuals to solve a problem every day of their life.

Fetch quest. This is actually close to us! The locations for these are apparently completely random so half the time they want to send you across the Empire for 4 florins. But this is near Bremen, in the northwest corner of Germany, close to where we are on the lower Rhine. We can actually try this one. The money is nice but what's even better is gaining Local Reputation in this city and Fame (how well you're known across the country).

I would try to buy some better armor but all they got here in Wesel is 24-quality and I refuse to pay for that. I stop at Osnabruck and at least get something slightly better for Nathan. You have armor for your torso and armor for your limbs. I think my people (barely) have adequate protection for now on their torsos but they still have virtually nothing for their limbs. I think that's where we're getting most of our damage.

On our way we run into a monastery. Huh. This doesn't seem quite right.

Capitalism? As a 1400s guy I find that pretty unseemly, especially in a monastery.

They have a library so we can learn about another saint. The only two I remember are Thomas the Apostle and Margaret. Margaret is some girl who died under horrible circumstances. She does a lot for you in-game because she was widely venerated at the time. But Darklands encourages you to roleplay. Thomas is my favorite apostle. I'm the kind of guy who would insist on literally reaching into the guts of my god to prove He's real. So we'll pick him.

Actually he's gonna be useful sometimes. Just like you'd expect from someone that pragmatic.

I'm gonna quit now just because it is incredibly time-consuming to upscale all the screenshots and put them in the right place. Next time, we're going to that place north of Bremen to get the fetch quest artifact. But we are gonna run into a challenge and it's not gonna be "somebody wants you to kill 20 mobs".

OP

I don't care about this because I don't own a PlayNoGamesStation, but redditors do. This particular take made me chuckle though:

Class dismissed, a professional beauty editor has SPOKEN. Discussion ended. You will buy the game remake from last gen, a PS5 Pro to play it better, and you will like it, wagie.

You've never seen a fit woman in real life, child! Those were merely your delusions!

If you saw those skinny chinky Japanese bitches being skinny, those were only animes. Checkmate

The post apocalypses will not have makeup, but will have plenty of McDonalds to keep you chubed up. Finally a post-apocalypses obese g*mers can self-insert into

Okay, I've had enough g*mer non-sense and I don't recognize many of the words being said in this thread. This is nearly Reset-ERA posting except reddit still lets scrotes horny-post.

Updoots to the left.

!nonchuds I think this needs to be normalized

Like it would dip below 20 at certain points which is crazy to me considering it's a top down game that doesn't use too much high performance assets.

I can't even be mad at the developer (Grezzo) because imagine making a game in 2024 and being forced to work on console specs that were relevant in 2014.

Please Nintendo just retire the fricking switch and make a console with performance better than an iPhone 9
