Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

they don't even use it like that, they use it to mean "a guy whose girlfriend/wife/female sexual partner is cheating on him", which honestly belays quite a lot about their view of both relationships and women. if women are property and a relationship is about a man controlling a woman, then a woman cheating on a man is a sign that he's a weak effete loser who clearly isn't man enough to hold down a relationship and not, y'know, a guy who happened to date a cheater

"a guy whose girlfriend/wife/female sexual partner is cheating on him" is the literal original definition of "cuckoƖd"

DEHUMANIZE  YOURSELF  &  FACE  TO  BLACULA
a ww1 game would only be fun if you got to massacre the generals on both sides and overthrow outdated monarchies, instead of dying in the mud for no reason at all. It was a terrible war where defensive technology far outpaced offensive technology, I don't know how you make that fun

also the use of psycho-sexual insults is what unifies a whole continuum of lovely internet people, from 4chan racists to the gamergate crowd. They're basically all just dumb white male reactionaries mad about losing privilege and their own lack of success because of systemic economic inequality. of course, they're the pathetic weaklings lashing out because of their own insecurities, but apparently it's everyone else that is not man enough (to be racist and sexist)

like, it's strange that a bunch of shut-in nerds who hate women try to suggest that they're alpha males, as though that's a) a thing and b) the way anyone would describe someone who is an objective loser

i thought the term included (willful) knowledge of the fact that your girlfriend fucks someone else, which is why it became a beta bitch fetish?!?!

that's the fetish

the original term referred to a man whose wife was cheating on him without his knowledge

if there was awareness of the adultery in the original definition, it was seen as "this man is so weak that he can't stop his wife from cheating / can't fight off the other man" etc.

i don't think that the possibility of the man wanting to see his wife get hosed by other dudes entered into it until recently

there is a ww1 fps. it's called verdun

it's alright. basically ww1-flavored red orchestra. iirc it doesn't have any of the weird and unique ww1 stuff like gas and turtle tanks

gas has been in for a while now and it owns. you can even get different types of gas.

there was also one called "darkest day" where you were some kind of timecrimes agent who had to go back to all these historical battles and ensure that the right people lived and died. at least a few of those levels were in ww1.

it was way cooler in theory than in concept, though. like, they really didn't take good enough advantage of teh cool situations you could get from mixing past and future. i was really disappointed when i didn't get to barbecue a knight in plate armor with a microwave cannon

this was "darkest of days". ycs superstar and johnny.jpg tribute artist gauss worked on it

i wanna get another 3ds game. i already have conquest and xenoblade chronicles. i'm in between bravely default (the demo seems ok but kinda just plops you in the middle of things), a pokemans (though i'm probably getting yellow for nostalgia reasons), or one of the three zeldas though i've never been able to really get into the 3d ones. or maybe something else if anyone has a recommendation. on a side note it's loving impossible to find a copy of bravely in stores so i'm resigned to getting the digital pretty much.

link between worlds is really amazing


it took me 4-5 hours to get into xenoblade, but it's always mostly MMORPG-esque quests.

are you surprised at all that white male nerds are projecting their insecurities onto others? especially now that we've got such a hostile medium as the internet?

back when the nerd social act was playing dungeons & dragons, you'd at least have some sort of tangible reaction to being a shithead

idk man. like yeah you always get lovely people, but i feel like it was still less lovely than kids playing call of duty or whatever

also, found another review for that harvest moon-esque game:

quote:

You start the game with 500 of whatever passes for currency. It cost like 150 for a loaf of bread. I can buy a loaf of bread for about 2.50. Which means your character quit his job and went to work on a farm with the equivolent of less than 10 dollars to his name. Poor life choices aside the economy is as arbitrary as it can get.

I know this is not supposed to be a simulator but alot of things don't add up. Maybe if the game takes place in Russia just after the fall of the Soviet Union the economy might make sense. Likely these aspects of the game are to promote the self reliance and crafting system. Probably a great game for many people but suspending my disbilief just isn't working. This comeing from a buy who loves fantasy as a genre.

Take this with a huge grain of salt as i only played less than an hour of gameplay but right out of the gate I was turned off. So if you're a wet blacket like me look somewhere else. If you're everyone else you'll probably enjoy the game.

Kids are shittier on the internet than they are in person for the same reason drivers are assholes, they're anonymous. I guess you couldn't get away with calling people giant fags in 1994, so the transgressions were more passive-aggressive.
