games

something weird has been going on

(I think it's marketing)

like

artificial Streisand effect?

thats an interesting idea for marketing

Well, I think the "outrage" is real

since, it's easy to hate on if you don't enjoy memes

but I suspect they asked to have Sony/Nintendo take the videos down

to feed into it

Excuse me?

Yes, but to porn instead

The human mind is able to handle violence much better

I guess being a competitive athlete also incites murder

What part of a game like animal crossing condones murder and theft

In a way, it helps de-sensitive people to violence

If they ever get in a serious situation

The #notallgames defense, is weak

^

either defend them all, or defend none of them

^^^

Well, I'm sure you can find games I would not defend

But not because of the violence

all media "influences" people, and it's the job of a parent to make sure their kids aren't being exposed to influencers they're unprepared for

games don't literally brainwash people, but like all media they can have an impact, especially on developing minds

but once you're 18

Freedom of motherfucking speech

Take kids hunting, let them understand death face to face

Dissections in biology class help serve that purpose

I like whenever people try to come after games though

it's so funny

like Vinny said

what is Animal Crossing going to brainwash someone into doing?

Being a furry

chopping wood?

catching bugs?

fucking the dog?

Raping the neighbor's dog

Fuck's sake

Poor ben shapiro

save for the few exceptions like AC

because violence is exciting

That's because that's what most people find entertaining

oh, totally

conflict resolution in general

Bring back the colosseums

there's just also not a lot I've seen done mechanically that can even hold a candle to violence

UNDERTALE

you can't win a game really without conflict

The closest you could get would be some kind of puzzle game I guess?

But it's not the same

yes

I started playing through the ds3 cinders mod

It’s great fun so far

It’s a massive overhaul, the game feels fresh again haha

yeah, you really notice it in the early zones too

the 0 reviews for minecraft on metacritic are inane

the ones that aren't obvious trolls at least

Wrong reviews are wrong

best review

correct review given it was in 2012

the 2011 and 2012 bad reviews make sense, but the more recent ones stop making sense

and every review saying its worse terraria is just wrong

both are not comparable

the only way they are is square

thats it

how deep are you in your run?

just started

we need ot redeem ourselves, for last time

when I lost power

yeah

my grandpa just died

so I am down

start it

im in

spooky

you were in

you left
