Game to Discuss?

This week, let's discuss the Street Fighter IV series. Some would say this game single-handedly saved fighting games after nearing death in early 2000s, but others would say that for all the good it brought, it also heralded the future of SF i.e. constantly nostalgia baiting with the World Warriors Does the gameplay make up for the SF2 baiting? Are Ultras worse than Hitler? Was Elena a warcriminal?!

Thanks to @DeforesterCarpathian for the blurb

Future game discussions:

September 15: The Witcher

September 22: Anno (1404-2205)

September 29: Huniepop

October 6: Katamari Damacy

I went looking for a decent stealth game and noticed these were on sale. Alternatives would be welcome as well.

The full list

Yesterday, longtime Destiny 2 'tuber TDT released a video titled "I am Quitting Destiny 2." Not entirely surprising, given the absolute state of the game.

Due to many of his fans misinterpreting the title of his video as well as the word 'quit,' he released a community post to clarify his position.

I know videos similar to this have been made before but this time this isnt a "maybe" or a "I hope we dont have to" this is a very scary pivot in the channel. Please watch the whole thing (lolno its 25 minutes) to get answers to some of your questions, one thing I want to make clear is that I will be keeping around Spicy Clips because I like them but "normal" destiny content is going away and I will only return out of pure desperation but I am going to try to avoid that at all costs.

Thank you for the support. And I hope to catch you around in other games. This video was TERRIFYING to make.

He's quitting Destiny 2 but still mining his fanbase for D2 content. Spicy Clips is his series where he brings on other D2bers and personalities and reacts to other people's clips. Of course with YouTube being the way it is, this is by far his most popular segment with every other series not doing nearly as well. This is also part of a trend of D2bers trying to branch out to other games, only to get 4-figure viewcounts and find out in horror that their entire fanbase wants D2 and absolutely nothing else.

Watch the chud's grave dance

Ahem

Long ago, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before you had to have a high level of Autism to truly understand the timeline shenanigans of Richard and Mortimer.

(until they basically explained everything like two seasons ago, right around the time Justin Roiland was trying to bang 15 year olds)

Also waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before FromSoft drove people nuts with vague bullshit in their tooltips, item filler and NPC babble for their games.

Yet right round the time GRRM was actually writing his books and not actively avoiding them, while fans theorized like a motherlover about Jon Snow's dad and whatever the frick is going one with the Red God(Praise be). But these werent as crazy as the X-Files forums or the Lost forums that would descend from that hive of of fanfiction and wishful thinking.

I'm sure Starwars and LOTR fits in here somewhere but this bit is old already.

At the pinnacle of Nerdy Bullshit Mountain was Motherfricking The Legend of Zelda Timeline and Lore forums over at ZeldaUniverse.net.

For Years after Ocarina of Time came out, people there theorized if there was actually two timelines, (also if Zelda somehow grew a peepee when she was in disguise as Sheik.)

BOTH QUESTIONS WERE EQUALLY IMPORTANT DAMMNIT

Eventually Nintendo did confirm there was a timeline split in the early mid 2000s and it turns out there were actually three timelines.

You were either ecstatic or pissed off if you were a Zelda Fan.

Also Zelda does not have a feminine peepee, but the debate rages on.

Shiek is a guy in the same way that Mrs. Doubtfire is a woman.

what if i told you zelda was actually boy?

i know, it's hard to believe because he's always wearing a green skirt in his games.

And Halo is a cool guy that doesnt afraid of anything.

Anyway back to Nintendo Nerd Mountain, I was glad to see that ZU still exists and they are about as neurodivergent about the topic as ever. They've been apparently arguing about the timeline placement for the last six years when it comes to their last two Zelda games.

I just find this incredibly funny because its clear at this point that Nintendo does not give a frick anymore about the lore of TLoZ games. Yet here people are.)

But look at this insane shit

Am I on Acid?

Years ago when I first found out about Starseeds and esotericism, I read on a blog that OOT was worked on by lightworkers "people here to usher in the awakening of consciousness" and hid hymns in the songs that woke up dormant DNA.

I read on a blog that OOT was worked on by lightworkers "people here to usher in the awakening of consciousness" and hid hymns in the songs that woke up dormant DNA.

Find this article. Else, I'm calling bullshit on this 8 ways from Sunday.

Oh Thank Christ, I thought I was the only san-

There are multiple levels of consciousness said to exist. Not just 3.

F*ck. I guess I am on Acid.

Christ on a cracker, Can these people stop overthinking a Zelda game?

And with a new game comes new bullshit, and apparently phrenology.

Anyway not that any of this matters as its basically been confirmed that the new games are a soft reboot anyway, as the first reddit post says.

Thanks for coming to my effortpost.

September 26th, $10 on iOS and Android. Vertical mode will be added post launch. Also available on Apple Arcade.

Twitter is now chud central, Briahna Wu is on there talking about Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.

With the Concord flop, studios are gonna begin to think long and hard about who their audience is.

Just look at how silly this headline looks now:

Maybe they were on the right side of history after all

@carpathianflorist

"We are middle-aged guys ourselves… so I guess that's the kind of target audience we're going for, probably."

"I think that this is precisely one of Like a Dragon's selling points. In Yakuza: Like a Dragon, everything starts with three unemployed middle-aged guys being like "Let's go to Hello Work." They have a different air about them than a group of young heroes would, complaining about back pain and the like. But this "humanity" you feel from their age is what gives the game originality."

The two creators compare the feeling of playing Yakuza games to "chilling out with older guys in a bar," as opposed to "going on an exhausting drinking party with young people."

heck yeah boomers making boomer games

they should add a grilling mini game to the next one
