I was mostly whining that modern mp games all try to be an esport without consideration for fun or game design, or even the fact 99% of people dont have the time to sink in thousands of hours in a game to become something approaching good. So mostly free time, I can be good at video games, I simply no longer have the time or motivation to be.
I also agree about ableism, a lot of people simply cannot play those games which is something the asshole above conveniently forgot, real 
moment huh
"BACK IN MY DAY THE ROCKET LAUNCHER AND QUAD DAMAGE WEREN'T TIME GATED AND IT WAS BETTER" over and over again.
Yeah the quake management of weapons is the best one imo. You want a better gun? Alright bucko, go grab one over there.
Meanwhile bf2042: uuuh just spend 6 hours grinding bots in an empty boring map! Easy dude!
Tribes 3
Wait what the fuck really? I thought Tribes was dead buried, this might actually get me interested again 
I mean the worst part of all this is i actually participated in competitive events in the past,I was that dude. I was a sniper main and competed in silver highlander for some time in tf2, I was a global for a year in csgo, I also participated in bf4 attack heli tournaments for a while so I can be good at mp game, i just simply fail to see the appeal or the fun in doing that because not only did I completely lose the skill i spent all those hours building, but the memory of those moments is a massive blur for me. On the other hand i dont have any trouble recollecting vacations with my family from a decade ago.
It was, we had very strict farming limits to cut down vehicle kills and people leaving, and we also had what we called Pentagon budget cut nights, conquest maps without vehicles. Well, actually each team had one jeep to their name and otherwise all you had were your two legs. This made us extremely popular since most people would get frankly really tired of vehicle tryhards amassing kills (although im guilty of this, I had thousands of hours in helicopters), and driving like a maniac in a jeep with two friends in the middle of panicking enemy infantry was hilarious, even more so when the enemy jeep eventually chased you down. Fuck i really miss that server.
I never understood that comparison to be honest, i really can’t see any similarities between the two of them. To me it seems like a really weird anglo-saxon post ww2 academic invention.
Yeah thats another point i hadnt thought off, Joaquin phoenix seems bored as fuck even when in battle, its fucking bizarre
RE Village got me into playing all the other RE games, silent hill, signalis, soma, penumbra, amnesia
Same here, and even after playing through the RE franchise i still consider village to be the crown jewel of the series, its such an immaculate game, it combines the very fun action movie sequences you expect from RE with a very touching story of a dad going ballistic to save his daughter, i admit i teared up once i got through that damn boss and got the final cutscene. And then I played RE4 remake immediately after and the
, uh, very 2000s writing and got bored 2 hours in and uninstalled 
Oddly enough the most progressive community i was a part of was bf4 server i uses to play on that had a massive slur filter which automatically booted you permanently if you typed one in chat. since it was popular, it had a discord, where chuds would come to try and haggle with the owners to get unbanned. I started playing and seeding when the server has just started, and eventually got a trusted role and became a mod and friends with the owner and staff. That was probably the best gaming community i interacted with, eventually misgendering also became bannable when the owner added a pronoun script. Unfortunately bf2042 release broke custom server scripting for bf4, so the owner decided to shut down.
Planning to play AW2 soon, will skip AW1 since ive gotten a good enough recap of the first thanks to the control expansion
