@icedquinn @matrix I heard that they have terrible side effects such as affecting your speech and destroying your productivity.

@coolboymew They also leave out that the fictional politics in games are often left to interpretation by the player or sometimes left as in-game choices.

Unfathomable how political bigots still cannot understand the difference between in games politics and real life du jour politics being pushed by the author ungracefully and as propaganda tools

Hilariously, their favourite game to show is FF7 of all things. The game is extremely cartoony in it's take of it

@coolboymew I use MonoGame which isn't really an engine, but more of a multimedia software framework for C#. If I did 3D stuff, I would probably use an engine or mod an existing game, but since I'm only working with 2D, it isn't that much of a problem.

@coolboymew I keep on seeing how much faster and easier if I use engines like this, but I always stick to programming.

@coolboymew I always wonder why Nintendo goes after fangames made solely out of love when people are literally selling ROM hacks on ebay and Nintendo doesn't seem to care.

@matrix People would just cheat by kicking their opponent's karts.

@coolboymew This is why I think forums should limit political discussion to a "News and Politics" subforum or the off-topic sub. That way if it does devolved into a political echo chamber, if it is contained to one board.

Thinking of leaving a small community I used to be part of, it devolved into a complete politics echo chamber to the level where I should probably shut up and to the level where they hope that the political enemies goes and die and this fucking trash, I don't think that even here I have wished death on the political undesirable (because this is quite trashy) and they drop politics in the most annoying of times and it's starting to really get on my nerves considering how close we are to the election, as it's starting to be incessant, nonfuckingstop

Couldn't even talk about the minecraft smash reveal without it devolving into notchman bad, because of course it had to, it just had to go there

@sjw@neckbeard.xyz I wonder what these sites are going to do when Flash finally dies a few months from now. Hell, there are even some sites out there that still have Java applets and that has been obsolete for years now.

@rasterman @coolboymew To be fair, the same could be said about the Animal Crossing villager or even the Wii Fit Trainers to a lesser extent.

>the character is dead as fuck, even more than Mr.Game & Watch
Literally, the only thing I can think of that would be worse is to have the @ symbol from virtually every ASCII roguelike as a playable fighter.
