Dont forget the internet is populated with idiots whose opinions could be written off as jokes due to their absurdity, except then you find out they're serious.

If you made all your money screaming rape and the n-word at children then you should probably donate all of it to women's shelters and the NAACP, yes.

Actually PDP's entire fortune should be ripped from his hands and given to the needy, both because he's made an absolutely absurd amoint of money yelling about wanting to rape something for children on the internet, more money than he'll ever need and the rich must be destroyed for the good of the world, but also because he's a loving awful person.

I'll admit this though, we can ignore him for a bit because Notch still has more money than god and does nothing but try to make friends with twitch streamers by donating to them over and over and spends his carefree life of absolute luxury harassing Queer people and women on twitter and trying to apologize for the actual nazi movement that sprang forth from creepy gamergate losers like himself.

*Shrug* Dude worked (as with most streamers, I use this term extremely loosely) for his money, so I don't think its fair to take it away from him. Even if its yelling about rape to kids (Kids like stupid edgy crap). Now cutting his options to make even more money due to his actions, that's something that I'm okay with.

Notch can die in a fire, though.

You know, a post like this just reminds me of how limited games are on a fundamental level. It's not that violence is bad, it's that videogames don't really seem to have the capability of getting beyond it and offering engrossing mechanical hooks that don't revolve around violence in some way or another, and if the only viewpoint that they can offer for is a gun-sight then it will always have fairly limited value.

Its not about violence being entirely removed, that's a strawman really. It's about, as the video says, slowing it the gently caress down.

Personally, I think violence is a big part of video games because it is the easiest way to provide conflict as well as making you act out of a need for completion/survival. A few mechanics like economy or persuasion can take you off the path for a bit, but in a lot of games it is unpromising and takes a while to appreciate. CIV5 is a great example of a game that would have been more interesting if combat was less important, due to having several interesting ways to victory (cultural, scientific and diplomatic as well as new religious mechanics). Of course, CiV 5 would have lacked something if it had no war at all due to it being a part of history. I also think games should find new and interesting ways to captivate us, but I doubt it will ever be a pickup and play experience.

that's been one of my games i wish existed something like civ but with more realism to it when it comes to warfare and diplomacy. although my favorite thing to do in civ4 was to piss off other civilizations (by denying trades they offered and poo poo) until they declared war on me so i was never the aggressor.

I've got some good news and bad news for you.

Good news is this exists. Bad news is it's spread across multiple games with absurd amounts of dlc content.

See all the Paradox Interactive games like Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, etc. They're pretty daunting to get into- I own CK but the bug hasn't bitten me yet because it's quite an overwhelming experience.

The diplomacy is the biggest problem with CIV5 singleplayer. However, the problem in multiplayer is that domination and scientific victory is easier and more flexible making it the best choice 8/10 games. Which is why the NQ mod exists.

Also, I have considered Europa Universalis for a while now. Some part of me also wants a SoIAF version of it.

There is a mod fo4 crusader Kings 2 that is exactly that, and CK2 is all about dynastic policies to begin with so it is better for SoIAF

No. eat the rich, he's still a hosed up dude who says and does racist poo poo a lot and is just a dumpster fire of a human being by all accounts. It's kinda dumb to defend him the agree on my points about Notch because all the same poo poo applies to PDP.

Right. I'll break it down then: I think PDP and Notch have a right to the money they legally earned by doing the work they did. They're dicks and need to get their poo poo together, but they still have a right to what they earned.

Yeah I know you think that, and the fact that you think any single individual should have over 2 Billion dollars is pretty hosed up, IMO. Like you could tax Notch 99% of his net worth and he'd still have enough money left over to be one of the riches individuals on the planet and live more comfortably doing nothing than anyone else that has ever lived.

They deserve nothing but the riches to be torn from their hands, namaste.

notch didn't do most of the work that got minecraft to the point ms would drop 2 bil for it and also he ripped off another game and pdp is terrible and should have no audience. and that's even before the redpill notch poo poo and racist pdp poo poo.

What if making if instead of making it illegal you just had a super high tax rate for the ultra wealthy but they could earn tax credits via using their money through philanthropy (but with some sort of verification system to make sure its not actually laundering or some fake charity BS like Trump engages in.)

nah man gently caress that and remove tax credits for charity.
Just have the government do what charities are trying to fill the gaps in. Theyd be much better organized and be open to the full logistical prowess of a first world government.
