This reminds me of the ultra edgy survival vaguely-zombie-themed game "Rust" which had white supremacist gangs and the like which took a massive beating when a new patch of the game made people's skin colors and other attributes based on a procedurally generated seed that was unique to each Steam account.

"other attributes" ie. dick and boob size btw

tfw you are trying to do a survival power fantasy and your character penis is as small as your real one powercry-2

That game was so clownishly edgy that it had some rather direct parallels to the notorious tabletop game F.A.T.A.L.

oh my god you are taking me back 15 years ago when i first learned about F.A.T.A.L.

guy spent more time writing about

CW: disgustingvagina elasticity coefficient and race theory

than actual game mechanics

it's so bad that even the average early 2000s edgy forum dwellers found it abhorrent

The guy was That Guy who was all like "How come elves who can live thousands of years have the same level of experience as humans whose bodies are only able for about 50 years", or "how come everyone is an adventurer", or "how is it that there's almost no racism in a world based on medieval Europe", and then made an age-based level system, a job system where 95% of them are pointless, and a racism system where there's only three races that are not "kill anyone else on sight" in the entire game, without any thought as to how this would work as a game.

The first time I loaded up that game a child yelled slurs at me and demanded that I give him my starting rock

When I played GTA Online I made a character sort of loosely based on Omar Little from the wire, I got called the n-word so often on mic it was surreal (I’m white IRL).

The galactic grade meltdown it would cause would be worth it i-cant

It's kinda funny that the reactionary gamers that cry about "fookin pronouns" lmao and so on mainly play cod or some other shit live service game.

Strong, white, and aryan men that kill scary browns.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is such a clunky name

Why is there a “The” in the middle? It doesn’t sound right. Dragon Age: Veilguard is significantly better and that’s without even looking at other name options.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Idk shit about Dragon Age, are there multiple veilguards and you're like, the veilguard?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think it's the group name. It's "the veilguard" in the same sense as "the Marx brothers" or "the Avengers."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Dragon Age: Marx Brothers still sounds better than Dragon Age: The Marx Brothers

what sounds even better is Dragon Age: Marx and Engels (the dragon is capitalism you have to slay or something, idk I've never played Dragon Age)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

tbf I haven't looked at the new lore yet but even still in the last game you were the Inquisition and it's still only called Dragon Age: Inquisition

to be even more fair it's clunky but the dumbest name will always belong to DA2 for having a number instead of a subtitle

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It actually was going to have just a subtitle, but the suits decided that people wouldn't know its a sequel if it isn't number 2.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

yeee, I always rename my shortcuts and install the mod that adds the old Exodus title art back to the title screen/main menu haha

Write into the user agreement that everyone scrolls past that the user agrees to take hormones and to put their heart and soul into fully transitioning as soon as possible and then pour the rest of your resources into your legal department to make the gamers understand that they signed a legally binding contract and are going to have to live up to their promise if they ever want to be seen as adults.

Gamers when the molehill they made a mountain out of gets turned into an actual mountain
