I recently started copying Austin Walker when I heard his explanation of it a couple months back. It's also more fun to say things are wild instead of crazy.

I like the sentiment but man, you sure have your work cut out for you if your goal is really trying to excise "crazy" from people's vocabularies.

Timespinner. That is definitely supposed to show that the one faction are nazis and fascists and not as a positive endorsement of their ideology. The game is good, if short.

e: One side is the evil nazi empire whose leader is basically a MRA guy who falls madly in love with some lady who he met for 3 days then freaks out when she rejects him because why would she. The rebels summon demons to help them fight back. They get called out for using demons and then stop and make peace with the invasion force. :shrug:

It's definitely not some "both sides" poo poo.

e2: The steam forums are full of topics about how it's LGBT pandering because it includes a non zero number of them in the game. It's hilarious.

these guys are explicitly the villains but the game also does some both sides poo poo

The whole "joking but not actually joking" or "haha, these guys suck right, but maybe they have a point if you think about it" thing is pretty standard 2018 internet nazi strategy so I'd be pretty leery of any game that had that poo poo in it at all.

For me it's a matter of context, like...


I dunno. If someone described something as being crazy, that'd be one thing, and if they described a horrible person as being crazy, that'd be fine with me, but if they use crazy to describe the mentally ill in general, that's where I'm uncomfortable with me. It's one thing to hear "man I had the craziest night the other night" or "man, trump is just crazy" and then to also hear something like kcb's mom telling her that she shouldn't be dating me because she's just going out and hanging with "the crazies" or things like that.

Nah, it was a teaser from 2017 stating that there'd be more details soon. I don't think they've shown gameplay yet. I'd like a good horror game for October, but I've played most of the accessible ones. Really looking forward to REmake 2.

Those are pretty neat honestly, they’re basically straight ports and with a stack of mods + ini tweaks they’re super fun to wander around in. Fallout 4 with Regrowth so everything is actually green like it should be after 200 years feels super immersive, and while there’s no two handed weapons support, blasting fools with a pistol is still a thrill. Skyrim VR is super fun with the bow, which they did some actual controller functionality for. Melee is serviceable, but not amazing. Proofs of concept, for sure, but man, being in the headset and having a physical sense of scale for some of the things and vistas you see... really incredible stuff.

It's fine, it's been like this for so long that I can't help but believe I'm bringing it on myself most of the time lol

Besides, I'm pretty catty about poo poo, I want everyone that isn't me and isn't a horrible monster in some fashion to have a good day but I'm definitely not above going for the jugular in certain situations, whether people believe it is justified in said situations or not.

Could be cool I think. The 3 things this could be that would actually reach that level imo:

1: A game that really takes advantage of the medium and is considered a "killer-app". This one seems unlikely since the tech is still changing so swiftly

2: New tech that is a major step forward for body-tracking. This would be cool as I think it's one of the major steps to making VR feel more immersive.

3: A new version release that finally gets the price of a good headset down to a reasonable consumer level.

Any one of those are feasible and would be pretty neat to see.
