I couldn't stand the thought of someone being nostalgic for a generation where two of the three are a hair away from being AMD APU-based PCs running weird operating systems. We need to ret-five-urn to tradition (All consoles being bespoke hardware with significant mutual incompatibilities and odd achille's heels with regards to different aspects of the rendering pipeline)

don't forget the absolutely inexplicable platform-specific bugs:

we used to have real games bodged together on 6502 assembly but not anymore because of woke

You could fit over three million 6502s in the PS5 CPU's transistor count, yet modern games are not three million times better than the classics. Capitalist inefficiency at work.

that's the perfect time. no child of mine will be a gamer

Is there a reason to have kids other than making sure that Call of Duty deathmatch lobbies are full?

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

yes we need young able-bodied soldiers to kick fascists heads in

SATIRE, PARODY, MINECRAFT etc. I do not condone creating commie child soldiers (unless...)

How are you going to kill fascists in Minecraft without gamers checkmate liberal

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

playing minecraft is not merely gaming, it's praxis. so I'll make an exception

I will provide my non-existent children with pirated copies tho, fuck Microsoft

*sigh* for all of my anti-gaming rhetoric I must admit there are some good video games, but I can probably count them on one hand

counterpoint: we're in the golden age of indie/small budget games

[–] jonne 20 points 11 months ago

It's a golden age of Linux gaming PC's, fuck consoles.

Counterpoint: The worst console generation inevitably leads to more sex. During the freeze-gamer Crash of '83 the population nearly exploded!

What's going on with these green twitter profile pics?

[–] peppersky@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

The fact that our capitalist overlords have just decided to forgo any pretense and market actually addictive games and apps to children is unironically one of the many reasons I'll probably decide not to have children. It's a tiny reason next to climate change and everything else but it adds up.

you used to be allowed to blow (on) your games but now you cant because of woke

Keeping their priorities straight I see
