video games

I'm talking about the early Flash games, like Riddle School or those escape games that you'll have to solve without wasting money. Does anyone remember them?

I believe this is a question that has become more and more relevant in recent years as graphical prowess progresses but the overall results stagnate. We have long since reached the era of diminishing returns with increased polygons and come the PS3 era, I believe we have attained a plateau on...

I remain steadfast in my decision to write down everything that aided me on a quest of escapism, so I might as well keep making several notes about these things online. So, this year starts with Ion Fury. I actually completed it several years ago, back when I had yet another regular job, but...

What are some games that you come back for another playthrough even though you know them inside and out? How did they become those special games? For me, it's Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, which is often described as a "mission pack" for GTA III, which was propably caused by being the...

What mobile games are you playing? Have you been infected by the gacha craze? I haven't played it in a while but I can recommend Siralim Ultimate. It's a turn based party RPG with a lot of depth. Bloons TD 6 is a lot of fun too. It's a tower defense game with plenty of upgrades and choices in...

Lately I've been in the mood for 'scenic' games. That is, games that have a beautiful world you're experiencing, and you get ample time to experience it. I used to spend hours on my modded Skyrim just walking through the forests, going biome to biome, simply to experience it. I plan on doing...

Last weekend, I watched approximately half of a video from one of my favorite youtubers named Frederik Knudsen. It was about an MMO that was still being active after 21 years and I can't help but think of, as a zoomer, how rich, complex, and perhaps even profound the game itself and it's...

For context, this is based on what I've seen a small amount of people on /v/ and Twitter (x) say. I've noticed how volumetric fog used in modern games is apparently bad. Claims like, it gets rid of the soul or whatever. Does volumetric fog actually suck or are people being really schizo? What...

So I recently learmed about the "Stop Killing Games" movement. In short a large group of people are trying to get various governement around the globe to outlaw planned obscolesence in video games (always online games). Their "send a lot of signals" method is pretty interesting and might even...

It's a new year, which means a new thread for keeping track of games you've beaten this year. I 100%ed Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards yesterday.

A brief introduction Some time ago when I was having a conversation with a friend of mine on discord in regard to the current situation with Blockland, he mentioned while in a rant regarding said situation, a subject known as "Theseus' Ship" to which he mentions ROBLOX and Minecraft, a game...

Don't know much but what I've found out is a bunch of things: * Employees' info was leaked (seems to be all of it massive security hole) * 1 TB of data leaked as well * Wolverine Gameplay seems to be up on twitter and it looks honestly more like God of War and less like Wolverine Origins...

I originally wrote this back in 2020, but my wife reminded me of it when she found this bullshit from Bloomberg Opinion in her RSS feeds: "Young Men Are Gaming More. Are They Working Less?" If this be a schizopost, make the most of it. This rant is going to meander a bit. Either go with it...

I encountered this meme here while I was foraging in the wilderness, and it sort of made me think: It's some kind of anti-lolicon meme, kind of a 'gotcha' regarding how lolicons will easily agree that such pictures are representations of older women and thus implicity believe that enjoying...

Post your own Game Boys, favourite models, and favourite games. I have 3 models my self, an OG, a color, and advanced SP. I loved emerald edition for the advance and have lately gotten back into playing on my GB color. I like playing Mario Golf and Tetris on it.

A thread about good games, and shilling for your favorite ones. I'm just going to put one of my favorites down here and some videos to capture the gameplay/general vibe of the game. Keeping it chaotic, complex, and weird: Spacestation 13 - A top down game with a hellish UI and complex...

In this thread, we go travel back in time to the year of 1995, we'd just got our license and our parents went off on a vacation without us tasking us to rebuild our dad's old satsuma (Which is a Nissan/Datson Cherry btw) car from the 70s and go on from there with hints of perma death (optional...

I just finished playing Arx Fatalis for the first time, the first half of the game was amazing and unique, the atmosphere is top notch, the detail and the worldbuilding are immersive - then the game suddenly degraded into another dungeon crawler puzzle solving game where you search super duper...

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEg7qjFcGXw Law & Order SVU's episode on Gamergate was probably the most retarded case of tv show/movie demonizing gamers that even non gamers mocked openly. But my question is: Are there more examples like that?

Here's a post of mine about the infamous Greek law Law 3037/2002 that temporarily "banned all video games in Greece" but in reality it only banned arcades for some years and internet cafes (still a retarded law): https://vetusomaru.dreamwidth.org/543.html
