Nintendo Kid posted:Duke 3D was forever ruined for me by the fact that I got Quake 1 well before I got to try the demo of Duke 3D. Duke 3D was ruined somewhat by Duke Nukem Forever for me. I just... can't look at Duke the same anymore. It's like finding out Scarlett Johansson was born a man, and then was converted into a girl. And after all of that, she decided to get herself circumcised. I mean, it felt like I was playing as a character that was so inhumanly narcissistic that I just didn't know how to deal with it. I mean, in retrospect, you would almost expect the game to be comprised of Duke Nukem staring at a mirror, with you losing life every time you looked away from it.

Posts about the DLC are right. You can release M rated DLC for a T rated game, and have the game remain T, but including it in the base game would result in it being re-rated up to M.FirstPersonShitter posted:i mean i dont see what the problem is i like quake live and i'd like it to be on steam and i'd like there to be gibs in. We are on Steam at the moment, but you're still required to make a Quake Live account the first time you launch the game, and we obviously only have minimal support for Steam features. It's not a great experience, but it's way better than my awful launcher. The Steam-exclusive transition should hopefully be way nicer to get into and play quickly. Don't think we can do the CS:GO style ladders through Steam, but we can at least do everything else they provide.

At the very least, I imagine Steamworks would make ladders easier. I imagine you already have, but I would get in touch with Valve's developers, specifically the Steamworks and CS:GO teams, and see if you can't figure out how they do it and try to emulate it in QL. Of course I don't know much about the gaming industry and if that's even possible or whatever.

Better agree to work overtime for free and work at the bosses house and endure sexual abuse/harassment and don't think about reporting anything or else your employer will send you back to India to be gangraped by men (and a government) who think having been to the US makes you a western s*** and thus free to be raped in the town square in broad daylight without any repercussion.

Explaining out how foreign workers from impoverished nations here on work visas are routinely abused by corporations and constantly threatened with the prospect of summarily losing their jobs and the home they've lived in for 10, 15, even 20 years while the corporation knows full well what sending them back means is also insanely xenophobic.

I was actually referred to the thread by someone else, I do not normally browse selfie threads of any kind. And as for the talk of gang-rape, your Western privilege is showing. No really, it is. You, spoiled Westerner, are getting up on your high horse to judge a country that's been ruthlessly exploited by western countries, especially the Anglophone world, for three hundred years. Most of India's social problems were CAUSED by people like us, so we can shut the gently caress up and let Indians handle the work of fixing India's social issues instead of riding with our white man's burden to "help" them with the problems that we gave them. You suck at this social justice thing, go back to Tumblr and read for while, maybe someday you'll be able to put up more than a shoddy cargo cult imitation of real social justice concern. P.S. It's somehow transphobic to acknowledge that Randi Heit once spelled her name differently, especially when I wasn't sure about her actual identity and was deliberately being ambiguous? Now I think you're just loving with us. Especially after you "protested" the banning of Sergeant Mk IV, who was an outrageous bigot.

Thanks to the recent turn this thread has taken, I feel extreme guilt killing female enemies in FPS games. I have to pause and take a shower after beating the Harpy wave in Serious Sam: The First Encounter's Metropolis map because of how many innocent and objectified women I killed. That part makes me realize that I am the real sexist pig and that Sam is just propaganda for toxic masculinity. I'll tell you more about my High School-level analysis of sexism in FPS games after I learn and misuse some more gender-related academic jargon I gleaned from a friend on Twitter.

I am pointing out that US corporations are basically throwing foreign workers down a well, regardless of who created that well in the first place. And if we are going to talk about India, then yes we ARE obligated to help them, but not in the dumbfuck colonialist way you're suggesting; help can and should be given in the form of monetary support to movements and causes created and spearheaded by Indians themselves--look at the Grameen Bank for an example. To just throw your hands up in the air and say "well, our colonialism that went on for hundreds of years sure hosed you up good, we'd love to help out but it'd be colonialist of us to do so in any way shape or form conceivable so we're just going to do absolutely loving nothing instead" is a giant cop-out and a cheap way to use boolean thinking to your own benefit. gently caress you.

I'm saying that by making such categorical statements on Indian culture you are actively impeding their healing process. You are making things worse and feeding stereotypes about the developing world that cater to white westerners' superiority complex (well we don't rape women on trains, we rape them in college dorms instead  ). Indian gender politics are not about you, and they're especially not about invoking racist, xenophobic stereotypes of the behavior of Indian men. Shut up.And no, I'm not suggesting we "help India in a dumbfuck colonialist way", I think they have to sort gender issues out themselves and the best thing we can do is let them do it. BTW, you do realize that "Randy Heit" is still used for the name on commits, right? Blzut3, who actually works with her on the dev team, is unsure what her gender identity really is or whether the "Randy Heit" identity ever existed in the first place. It's not clear-cut like you seem to think it is--she has always been cagey about her real identity. If your only charge is "insufficient certainty" then just gently caress right off, you self-righteous piece of poo poo. You suck at this. You absolutely suck elephant balls at social justice activism.

Scroton get hosed by a fully decorated Christmas tree tiacatlord posted:Oh drat, that's absolutely beautiful. For real!  Y'know Quake gets a lot of poo poo for consisting of only various shades of brown, but I was always impressed by how each episode felt fairly unique. Also this is sacrilige but I don't really like Quake 1's weapons  I'm kind of boring when it comes to weapons in FPS games. I like the standard lineup (pistol, shotgun, rifle, rawket lawnchair, etc) and then an equal set of "exotic" guns. Freeze rays, whatever. One of the reasons why I couldn't get into Prey. The guns are just so bleauwgh  I know I must be fun at parties v  vSo this is something I'm sure is common knowledge but I just found out that Rise of the Triad was originally supposed to be a sequel to Wolfenstein. The art assets that were made looked pretty neat:     The story was: "Original ROTT Story posted:After the fall of Hitler, the true powers behind him have drawn into seclusion, planning their next strategy for world domination. Three large corporations guided Hitler as a puppet, and now plan the subjugation of the planet to their organization, the Triad. I'll be honest, I would have preferred this to what we got. ROTT is dope(fish) and all but any excuse for BJ to go on more adventures is a-ok in my book. I really dig the poo poo out of the machinegun and chaingun pickup sprites.
