nazis are completely inseparable from their culture of genocide and supremacy, its not something they did on the side

its like trying to play as the zerg without the goop they have to build on

edit: i watched Come and See recently and its got me all worked up

Come and See is right up there with Salo in terms of unpleasantness and "I kinda wish I never watched this".

That sounds like a very silly hot button take, but I guarantee the novel is Infinte Jest and that's hilarious.

It was and that lady is balls-to-the-wall stupid. I know guys who own Infinite Jest and have never read it. The only person I discuss the book with is a woman. There's nothing in the text that would make it especially appealing to sex criminals. I can see why dudes might own it just to own a huge book that can be hard to read but it's relatable for its depiction of depression, addiction and recovery. Really fail to see how it could get associated with toxic manliness or whatever.

I only skipped FF9 on the way of playing 7-12 when they came out. I went back to play it last year and I was extremely not impressed. Easily my least favorite FF of the ones I've played. Some people say it's more like the pre-7 FFs and I guess that would make sense because it felt nothing like the others.

I think when you play the games has a big impact. I still had an imagination and was more or less carefree when 7, 8, 9 came out and I played them. So I associate those games with youth and being happy and I remember their worlds real fondly. I still think I like Final Fantasy but every time I try to go back, even with the stupid shiny remake, it just doesn't click anymore.

I don't want to just insult Read Dead 2 and say vitriolic things because some people love that game and its clearly a technical masterpiece but its the kind of game that whenever I sat down to play it within 20 minutes my mind would wander to a more fun videogame

The greet, greet, antagonize, shoot the school marm in the neck and throw an ax into a horse's eye is great fun for me. I go to other open world games and now they feel robotic and stiff because I can't hassle the NPCs to such a degree that brings me joy. It's so West World in that it lets me just be an unhinged psychopath without consequences. It's really cathartic. I've finally put it down after like 3 years of playing it non stop. Tried to play Ghosts of Sushi and it sucks dick. You can't behead farmers, you can't do poo poo.

I'm currently playing Wonder Project J2 for N64. It was a christmas present. I feel like I have to force myself to play videogames these days.

I’ve heard that while it has neat art and atmosphere, gameplay is barely a thing and most of it is an overbearing story that takes all the place, especially in the later half.

Confirm/deny?

Gameplay so far is ultra simplified Zelda and the dialogue can be very redundant so er uh, confirm? I'm only five hours in so can't speak to the second half yet.

DE appealed to the same part of me that likes slowcore as a genre and boring, comfortable, bleak films like The Hours. My favorite part of RPGs since I was a kid was walking around towns. FF13 was one of the worst things I have ever played. Just combat and nothing. DE was like just the towns and detectiving and playing dress up and the writing was so good that I was curious about places you don't see in it. I think I've said this before.

So I'll add this; every time I've played something FF7 related that isn't FF7 or even replaying FF7 again it's like hitting a crack pipe that you packed with cat litter. That rush is gone and any attempt to feel it again just leaves me feeling depressed and empty.

Tomba was good. So was Jackie Chan Stunt Master, Abe's Oddysey, Brave Fencer Musashi. The graphics weren't much and maybe it is just pining for youth but PS1 era was my favorite re: playing video games.

I have a few games like Suikoden 2 that are worth hundreds and consider selling them sometimes but I've sold old games in the past and always regret it, not least of why is that the market prices are always going up.

what's the bad line? someone else brought it up too

If I remember it's just a screenshot of end dialogue where Kim outlines everything to your partner from the 41st and I think there was a typo and people took issue with the use of *asterixes* and wordiness of it. But it's the biggest block of text in the game and serves to fill in for what would be a cut scene in any other game so it's a weird thing to take out of context.

Yo Intelligent Qube is on the playstation classic which I think is pretty much free if you can find it at retail these days. I got one for $25 at the mall.

Speaking of playstation classic, I've heard it is very easy to hack. I've never done anything like it before but I'm considering just following the steps and putting every PS1 game on it and getting an 8bitdo dongle to make it work with the ps4 controller.
