Red Dead redemption 2 comes out on the same day as my 21st birthday, so I’m going to buy the game and a pack of beers, then I’m going to hire a hooker of Craigslist and finally lose my virginity. It’s going to be the best day ever
Sebastian White
the internet ruined gaming because of all the guides, streams and beta testing, you don't find out new shit yourself like you used to before

I will clue you all in:
None of this is real
The outrage is not real
The subject of the outrage is often not real
Apart from a few massive examples like the recent Nike ad campaign, these Twitter mobs rarely exceed ~10K in a head count and often fall quite short
We, man and company alike, are currently slaves to a fiction that generates fiction
Think:
The world is a massive place fully of billions of individuals
We are only equipped to regularly interact with ~150 people (Dunbar's number)
The development of city life thrust us into shrouds of anonymity and unfamiliarity, surrounded by people we do not know
Social media suddenly gave all those people a voice, largely independent of their physical proximity to you or involvement in your personal life
Society-wide discussions are a new phenomenon, and one we are not equipped to respond to
To participate in these discussions is to continually pick it up and leave it off with any number of other individuals, all on their own unique journey through the conversation
To accommodate for the size of the discussion, unable to store all participants as individuals in your mind, you begin to sort things into the "background noise" category
We are now all aware of a discussion happening without us, at all times
You will place assumptions in the background noise
Picking the conversation up with another individual involves two radically different concepts of the background noise, formed by disparate experiences
This is why you believe that so many equate video games with the alt right
This is why companies will bend to the will of a mob no larger than their own employee count
We are all making ourselves miserable with assumptions about the state of a world too large for us to understand and track

Trolls hate him. This Aussie shitposter is spreading propaganda and you're basically fucking censored.
> As professional curators and gatekeepers dwindle and are replaced by self-appointed and unaccountable ones, individuals are forced to assess information in ways for which they are not trained.
>While “fact” and “truth” are often considered synonymous, they actually have very different meanings in this discussion. The commonly held definition of “facts” are that they objectively exist in reality, regardless of belief, culture, or other consideration. They cannot be logically disputed. “Truth” on the other hand is made up of facts, but can be tempered by beliefs and interpretation. As such, two people can draw two different “truths” from the same set of facts.
>This means they should consider disabling commentary systems—the function of allowing the general public to leave comments beneath a particular media item—and be careful to refer to the spreading of false information and providing a fact-based correction without explicitly repeating the false message itself.

Anything that does not enhance the power of you and your tribe is degenerate. The Jew rules not through their own action but through the hosts inaction, it's not about what they are doing but rather what YOU are not doing. If every white person gave a dollar a day to a crowdfund "save the west" the west would be saved in a month.
Levi Rodriguez
>people who hate feminists hate women
Christian Ramirez
What if I hated women and minorities before gamers did?
Thomas Jackson
just get a job at your local GEC
Hudson Rodriguez
Braised and dimsummed
Asher Ramirez
How can I hate minorities if race is just a social construct?
And how can I hate women when there's only one gender?
Adrian Gomez
no faggots ruined it warez and shit was around before the internet was even a thing. remember BBS? pretty much the jews and money got their hands on video games and ran it into the ground
Dylan Wood
wow
Gavin Cooper
who in their right fucking mind, other than Al Gore's wife circa 1990 something, ever advance such a fucking stupid ass idea?
Dylan Taylor
This. Also, game developers have it in their head that people want their games to be more and more "Realistic". If I wanted real I'd go outside.
Luke Myers
i would argue that whole right-wing movement lately near kids started because "muh feminism" toutched vidyas
Anthony Torres
yeah, it's kinda sad.
First
The U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (Public Law 80-402), popularly called the Smith–Mundt Act, is the basic legislative authorization for propaganda activities conducted by the U.S. Department of State, sometimes called "public diplomacy". The act was first introduced by Congressman Karl E. Mundt (R-SD) in January 1945 in the 79th Congress. It was subsequently passed by the 80th Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman on January 27, 1948.
Then second
The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which was contained within the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (section 1078 (a)) amended the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 and the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987, allowing for materials produced by the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to be available within the United States.
the Big O did it at least twice and no one bats a fucking eye
Nolan Thomas
Jokes on you I love women.
Isaiah King
>comic is unironically true because modern games are all about pushing left wing political ideology instead of gameplay
Luke Clark
Some of the best games ever were really low developed graphically titles like diablo, dark souls or the early fps games. Ever since gaming went mainstream it had to cater to the NPC normie brain of what they consider aesthetic before they shut off the game after 30 mins and never play it again. It might have something to do with the AAA industry forming as well over the last decade. I haven't grind fested a game since fucking 2007.
Jackson Watson
mostly it's the cost of making 3d games. They can't appeal to just the tiny demographic of smart people anymore.
Aaron Lee
Good read.
Thx for the redpill cap.
Luis Brooks
Lack of nuance correlates inversely with IQ.

the fuck? am I replying to the same nigger on pol/
Owen Phillips
It became shit when the Switch/Ps4/One came. I just replay back the old games, but the multiplayer don't have many players though

do they have listings anymore?

>If every white person gave a dollar a day to a crowdfund "save the west" the west would be saved in the month
That is by far the stupidest thing I have ever read. Let's just crowdfund all our problems away.
Mason Brooks
Why?
The only thing lacking is funding.
Name me one wealthy person supporting European ethnic nationalism comparable to leftist (Jewish) billionaires.
Oliver Rogers
Nah forget about wealthy people, that's not the matter at hand. How the fuck are you going to use that money to save the west in a month. From one dollar per whitey.
Easton Edwards
working for (((them))) and paying (((taxes)))) seems to be more harmful imo
Angel Perry
You don't have to use any of these. I buy games and then just play them, so I do find out new shit myself. I have no interest in watching streams or reading guides.
Easton Flores
Hooker sees your small penis and dirty apartment, immediately loses respect and knocks you out, she drinks your beer steals your wallet and Red Dead redemption 2. You wake up the next day in a puddle of piss and shit in your empty apartment and start crying and never see her again.
It still was your best day ever.
Jaxson Collins
typical NPC
Michael Allen
This is some extreme disconnect from reality.
Daniel Rivera
More attention should be paid to the new practice of speedrunning. It is a hub for the worst degeneracy and grows stronger by the week.
Levi Young
>guides exist
>therefore you must oook at them
You are such a fucking retard I want to pic related
Blake Edwards
who would want these guys making games?
James Morris

Austin Green
Is TV-watching degenerate. If you choose to think that video gaming is degenerate. Then you have to consider other time-wasting behavior that people also do e.g.: Board games, reading comics and TV. If you fall on the side of it is degenerate, then consider that time-wasting is degenerate in itself. You have limited amount of time on this earth, and you don't dedicate every amount of you life to maximizing your abilities and ensuring the best possible outcome for the next generation. On the other hand sometimes you need to do something to get your mind off bad days in order not to go insane, so then vidya is a great way to release your frustrations and balance out your state of mind. In this mindset vidya is only bad if you get addicted to it, since addiction is forcing you into a NPC pattern of automated behavior.
Nathaniel Myers
>recreational
there's your problem
games since ancient time have been simulations of reality, aimed to improve the performance of both new and experienced players in their daily business
Christian Ramirez
you're a hipster
Ethan Rogers
Interesting take.
Tyler Flores
gamers rise up!
Jaxon Hill
Play any kind of multiplayer online game and everyone expects you to watch guides and know every cheese meta strat before going in
Jack Perez
show us your kraut flag
Andrew Rodriguez
Yes. Bad games are a much more significant market signal than good games.
Christopher Nguyen
Can't tell if serious or if Gen Z is really that pathetic.
Anthony Sullivan
>craigslist
boomer source for prostitutes, gone the way of the dinosaur
Charles Cook
Hating on thots and shitskins is only a rational conclusion.
Wyatt Lewis
Fuck off booomer
Connor Gomez
Meanwhile, in every multiplayer competitive game grasping the meta allows for unique and broken strats.
I’ve never been a “meta” guy. But I study the fuck out of it in the games I like. This allows me to do two things:
>play a character 90% of people don’t understand
And/or
>build in a unique way that subverts their expectations
Being good at games isn’t even half as useful as being smart until you reach the very top. It can be rough in team games (I’ve lost a lot of games where I went 16/1/12) but in general the subversion of expectations and with some importance,your team recognizing leadership a fairly talentless smuck can rise to the top wi5 pure intelligence,

Juan Bailey
Nice good for you man, I hope you have a good birthday
Logan Roberts
His birthday is hookers and videogames.
Your hope will be unsurprisingly ineffective
Dylan Bailey
Recreation in general is categorized as "degenerate" on this board because too many autists here lack nuance. Look at the word, "recreation". It's not purposeless. If you want to get burned out, be my guest and never read a book, watch a movie, go camping/fishing more times than the first time learning experience, or play a videogame. Even in ancient times, games of some type existed.
Julian Diaz
anything more thaan 3 hours a week is degenerate and pathetic in my opinion.
god damn, when will grown men quit consuming kids entertainment?
James Adams
He's a virgin who probably cannot lose his virginity otherwise, and it's his bday. I think he'll have a great time, and I hope he does
Nolan Peterson
This is why Germanics need to bankroll all of Europe, we just do it better.
Jonathan Evans
you can't compare Go, Black Jack, or even video games like Morrowind to some cartoonish shit grown men are playing.
today's games are only entertainment with very shallow thinking (yes, i'm also talking about """strategic""" games like LoL and DotA) where no real brainpower is used.
William Scott

Easton Ortiz

Ayden Garcia
Light gaming is fine. Heavy indulgence is not. The key to everything is balance. Balance makes you most happy.
Angel Howard
also forgot to mention, i have nothing against LAN parties either. no brainpower involved, but at least you truly socialise with your friends and not like retard with some faggot you'll never meet irl.
Jordan Price
The only correct post
Logan Wood
Word of advice - craigslist hookers are all bots and you would have better luck hiring an escort or find one on the stroll
Henry Fisher
SJW's game developers are ruining gaming.
Daniel Gutierrez
Pol will be Pol
William Sanchez
Soothing. Feeling isolated on clown world is a hell of a depressant
Connor Allen
OMG I can't believe this! WE ARE NOT ONLY MISOGYNISTS! GAMERS ARE SMARTER. GAMERS UNITE!
Isaiah Moore
i dont get the image, what the point?
That only neets and incels play vidya?
Camden Perez
Why don’t you just get a gf and lose your virginity to someone you care about?
Oh that’s right, it’s because you’re an INCEL just like all alt righters. You miss out on so much fine pussy and disregard so many women because they aren’t the “right” race. Especially Jews and their amazing milkers. Have fun chasing after white women though incel
Daniel Harris
You lose time that you could use to learn useful things. If you are from some first world country and your are gaming 8 hours a day instead to use you unrivaled access to resources to learn useful thing to get rich by controlling NPC's lives you need rethink your role in this world.
Ayden Robinson
No, congress banned that shit
Colton Taylor
Absolutely. League of Legends is the only thing that makes me feel remotely accomplished in life.
Anthony Mitchell
Are you going to playing the gay cowboy sex part while the hooker sucks your dick?
Lucas Cook
post your favourite video game, you faggots.
Adam Baker
Jaxon Sanders
Yes.
Read books, go for a run, lift, play some instruments, paint, craft, basically do anything that will channel your creativity or requires to better yourself being through knowledge, fitness or character.
Porn, TV, series, blockbusters, video games, weed, etc... they are just instant reward hobbies to numb your mind that don't lead you anywhere on the path of life.
Of course there will always be weaklings around who will make excuse for indulging themselves in a childish hobby but deep down they know the truth.
Joseph Anderson
>Even in ancient times, games of some type existed.
Games were social and often about wit or skills, nothing to do with autists locking themselves alone in a room to ironically escape in skinner boxes.
The most hilarious part is feminists categorize gaming as being a culture full of "toxic masculinity" when it's full of low test weak men in their late 20s or even 30s with Peter Pan syndrome
Adrian Mitchell
Ya think ya hot shit dontcha?
Asher Baker
Très bien, mec.
