He isn’t actually dead

Well that’s my day ruined

I just dug out my old HL2 Collector’s Edition tin box out of my closet. It’s got the Sierra logo stamped next to Valve’s, wild to think Valve had a publisher

Half-Life 2 collector’s edition t-shirt, sat 20 years in a box, never worn

how do we know that Bowser isn’t straight in real life and gay in kayfabe?

So long, gay poser

What about when Nintendo affirmed every gamer’s gay identity in the 2000s

To be completely honest, I very rarely buy anything from Fazer and when I do, it’s the few of their chocolate and biscuit brands that I happen to like. Definitely not any of their breads and other baked goods though, that shit costs an arm and a leg. It’s all the cheapest shit from Lidl or Prisma for me 😎

I’m pretty sure you used to be able to get 3 of those boxes for 10 euros around Christmas not too long ago. I remember because they were a simple, cheap present

Funnily this is also one of the OG fash families (Whites) with firm ties to Germany afaik.

Can’t believe a guy like this would be bougie as fuck

A few years ago before the inflation hit Finland’s leading chocolate maker altered their gift box design while also completely coincidentally reducing the amount of chocolates in them by like 1/4

When they were asked about it they were just like “the consumers wanted more impressive boxes to make their special occasions feel even more special”

Holy shit. From the title I assumed this was just going to be another Half-Life SFM meme video, but it’s an ancient AMV

This even predates early viral Gmod videos

The thing that initially got the gamer demographic onto the conservative bandwagon in the first place was when right-wing influencers got them convinced that it was the feminists that were coming for their games instead of the conservative and religious activists that had spent like 2 decades railing against heavy metal, D&D, rap and video games. Like 5 years before GamerGate the biggest gamer boogeyman was Jack Thompson. Maybe if someone finally actually did come for their treats for real there’d be another shift.

It’d sadly also lead to a lot of adult content creators getting financially hurt which still sucks though :/

The porn and violent video game bans are bad enough, but it gets worse. As I understand it, the plan goes something like this

1. Make porn illegal
2. Define anything LGBTQ-related as pornographic, thus essentially criminalising being visibly queer (the real point of the porn ban)

Some have warned it could get even worse

3. Define exposing children to pornography as CSA
4. Apply the death penalty to CSA crimes

Tbh not a fan of how they wrote black characters in bioware other than admiral anderson.

Being voiced by Keith David helped immensely

Oh christ I forgot about that part. I just remembered he abandoned Jacob when he was a kid. You can really feel that 2010 EA edge in ME2

I did like Jacob better than whoever the meathead guy in ME3 was so he’s not the blandest soldier guy in the series. Though if I’m being honest, I mostly just kept Garrus and Tali on my team for most of that game (and the third game too)

I think that was the argument- some people felt that having the only black party member in Mass Effect having his personal storyline revolve around an asshole absentee father was leaning into an unfortunate trope

I remember people arguing that his personal quest was racist

I will copy paste a ROM of Super Mario Land until I fill my hard drive and become a millionaire

I can handle 30 fps when emulating old games since often there’s no way to go higher or existing 60 fps patches break stuff.

Lower than that just feels really bad

Is that a quote from the dude? Still, all he managed to do was get his life fucked. It’s not like he was causing any lasting harm to Nintendo (though I’m sure they’re claiming this guy’s streams caused them to lose googolplex dollars)

I was trying to make a game out of seeing how long I could make it in my day without knowing who won the day after election but failed pretty early on while scrolling on my Youtube feed. For some reason there was a Jon Stewart clip in there with a title like THIS IS NOT THE END and I just laughed

multiplayer horror games like Lethal Company (and presumably Phasmophobia idk, haven’t played it) are actually comedy games, not horror.

You say that, but when we were playing, we had a couple of moments where we’d tell each other we’d quickly go upstairs to fetch something, then come back down, calling out to them only to discover them dead on the floor. Perfect horror beat right there, and something that could only work in a multiplayer context. The proximity chat really makes the experience

I think bringing down the intensity levels would make moments like that even more effective

When you’re a rightwing slop generator and you gotta generate slop out of anything

IGN didn’t like a game? It must be because it wasn’t gay enough. IGN liked a game? It was too gay!!!
