oh yeah I forgot I wanted to give pizza tower a try
@theorytoe tastes like reddit game of the month that nobody will care about soon
@lina well nobody really cares about a game much after its release really
I mean hell hollow knight is practically dead and any good indie game community is dead

@theorytoe i've seen games gather cult followings, but i've really never seen recent indie games manage that, shit like undertroon and deltatroon and fnaf doesn't really count because the former was exactly what i described, a whole bunch of tumblr troon types rushing to current reddit game of the month to catch some likes and reposts over being hip and trendy or some shit and the latter is a brand now also its playerbase is literally 10 year olds
it really isn't like old games like unreal, worms, half life, doom, duke nukem, etc.

@lina honestly its probably a result of the hyper comoditization of video games
and kinda internet culture in general nothing lasts its just attention sifting every 10 seconds to the newest thing and all appreciation for the old is gone

@theorytoe @lina There aren't many video games nowadays that really leave a lasting impact. And even among the ones that do, fandom faggotry makes trying to discuss them online hell.
@ArdainianRight @theorytoe you really can't make a lasting impact anymore with conventional means, graphics? sorry that was the main battle way ago and i think that shit peaked with nfs 2015, that may be a shit game but it has the most realistic graphics thus far
sensational gameplay and shit? nobody tries to make something really unique, out of indie games the best you'll get is a nintendo-type ripoff because people don't have taste and don't base their games off good games
soundtrack? moot point, music is subjective, but imho you won't outdo unreal tournament 99 and deus ex
quirky funny meme game? kill yourself if your dream game implies shoving in unfunny unrelated memes into it to stay relevant

@lina @theorytoe The problem with the Western indie scene is that it's gatekept by the same faggots that hijacked all other forms of entertainment, so everything they make is ugly and derivative. All the memorable games I can think of that are relatively recent are Japanese. Games are like any other form of art, if you have an inspired and inspiring vision you can make it happen, but being saturated in Current Year leftism kills the soul and smothers whatever divine spark you may have had.

@ArdainianRight @theorytoe @lina You just got to keep looking. Check the /agdg/ threads on most video game imageboards or check more niche forums like RPG Codex (they have a section for user created RPGs and are anti-woke).
