@beardalaxy @xianc78 simply being true to reality -- not the perverted, artificial world we live in now, but how things were throughout most of the history of humanity -- combats woke shit all on its own
xianc78 boosted
@xianc78 @beardalaxy That, and being bad at promoting their own side. Just look at how mainstream right publications refuse to give airtime to independent creators unless you hand them cash or end up already successful.

At least in literature, there's no shortage of good "non-woke" authors- they're just hamstrung by having to rely on eceleb cred or word of mouth,

@xianc78 oh yeah that's a definite.

I don't speak for everyone, but I think the majority of people complaining about woke shit in games don't really want games that combat the woke shit, they want games that just don't have the woke shit in it.

Based devs helps too, though, when stacked on a game that's just a game. Take the recent interview with FFXVI's director or whatever, talking about how the are pretty much going to only be white people in the game because it is representative of the region the game takes place in. That's an answer that infuriates the people who would be asking that question, but we like to hear that because it means the focus isn't on pandering, it's about the actual game.

Maybe that's a bad example because the current state of Square Enix dictates there will probably be something woke in the game anyway, but you get what I'm going for I'm sure.

If I get the time, money, and resources, I would love to create a forum, fedi instance, XMPP/Matrix server, etc for the few gamedevs that don't subscribe to this cancer. I don't know how many people would use it though.

This goes with what I said earlier, every gamedev community (outside of /agdg/ threads) is pozzed. You will be ostracized unless you fully subscribe to SJW ideology. It's why even in the indie scene, it's hard to find non-pozzed game developers. You even have to request an account (while providing links to other sites and profiles for manual approval) just to be on this instance.

Urutau uses a rack and pinion for the trigger sear… 3d printed gears have so much backlash… I wonder if it works kinda ok after you pick up the slack in the trigger though.

Is this a novel way to actuate the trigger sear in a bullpup?

I definitely understand why some people feel like a special place is being taken away from them. I think we'll find a way to get that feeling back eventually.

I'm not actually that upset by Twitter people coming here. I don't like almost any of them but they can do whatever here and I'll ignore or make fun of them.

Don't get too weirded out by the CBDCs yet; the Fed is, at best, running a virtualized pilot program to observe ledger consensus and better define the network. For big-s States, crytpo consensus methods mean faster, automated transactions that can displace the time-sink that is SWIFT, and for the Fed specifically it's ensuring that they have the answer to a post-SWIFT model. So BRICS will probably keep SWIFT going in some form and the West will, over the next decade, continue piloting, testing, and expanding the project right up until the point where enough stores don't take cash (for reasons of insecurity or whatever).

Just played my old SFC, immediately realized how quicker it is to even boot them up compared to current year cruft.

Back then:
1. Mario flashes.
2. Title screen.
3. Game starts.

Now:
1. "Powered by Unity" appears.
2. Developer's logo appears.
3. Publisher's logo appears.
4. Logo of the audio dependency appears.
5. Logo of another dependency appears.
6. Logo of yet another dependency appears.
7. Copyright (which is a scam) warning appears.
8. Anti-piracy warning appears.
9. Skippable intro, but unskippable at first boot.
10. Title screen.
11. If new game, force the user to waste 30 minutes to 1 hour to watch to the intro movie.
12. Tutorial level.
13. FINALLY the game sta...no wait, yet another tutorial.
14. Detailed instructions on how to jump using the A button.
15. OK, now the game starts!

> Just because something is old doesn’t make it bad. It makes it mature.

FINALLY, somebody gets it!
The reason why I prefer the old stuff over the new stuff is because the old stuff just works.

SysV works better than SoystemD, GTK2 works better than GTK3 and 4 combined, XMPP works better than whatever came after that, online forums, BBS's, newsgroups, and IRC all work better than Discucked, Guilded, ChatWork, Slack, or whatever else, static HTML+CSS-only websites work better than all the WordPress, Medium, Blogspot, some weird SoyScript required frontends, and all the other unnecessary cruft, old SFC, MD, PS1, N64, and older PC games are more fun than current year PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, or mobile gatcha gaymes, and so on.

Apparently, gatcha gaymes are better than all the current year AAA console and PC crap, simply because the gatcha gayme community stood up against censorship early on.

The government dox invoice soystem is going great already...
Yet another example of whatever the government touches gets destroyed.

声優業界、インボイス制度に反対 7割が年収300万以下・2割が廃業検討「夢のない話」政治イメージの影響に複雑な心境
(Voice acting industry opposes the invoice soystem, about 70% of them earn less than 3 million yen a year, about 20% considers closing their business due to the "futureless" political image)
https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/333581f6d444e3451046aec9093740c88a72d402

("Futureless" is actually "dreamless story", but I had to change it to have it make sense in English, also I had to remove some words for this reason as well.)

@djsumdog @coolboymew Whether real or not, either way the mainstream media all around the world are responsible for enabling the mass-hysteria in the first place.
If nobody would have taken them as seriously, this wouldn't have happened.
And perhaps they'd just be going straight into war mongering or cloymet chainge instead, because they always need to scam the people somehow.
