You're more optimistic than I am. My niece and nephew are gen alpha and they're just as bad as the younger half of gen Z when it comes to iCrap frying their brains since before they could walk. My mom has tried board games with my niece and hasn't had much success. My nephew is only 4 and he's autistic so his best hope is getting into PC gaming and becoming one of us in a decade or so.
I'm an accelerationist at this point. The industry needs to burn for something better to rise up in its place. Kikestar is in a good position to light the match so I say let's get this show on the road. Anything still worth playing is indie and they only stand to benefit from AAA going down in flames.
People might be less afraid of being called racist, but they're still deathly terrified of actually being racist. They've completely internalized that being racist is bad even though they increasingly realize that accusations of racism are just bad faith political tactics by the left. The trouble is that the left has already largely won, and even discounting the GOP's controlled opposition shtick and their breathtaking incompetence even most of the "extreme" ideas on the right are just putting a fresh coat of paint on rotting foundations.
China was 1st place on the poll
I keep hammering this point because it's true. Ching chongs and other gooks aren't any better than jeets, they're just less crude about their rat like behavior. The Japanese are perfectly justified in hating those subhumans and we should have let them finish taking out the trash during WW2. When I think of Asia the "We Wuz Kangz" meme comes to mind where where the Japanese are the pharaohs and the inhabitants of the sewer known as mainland Asia are the juxtaposed nigger.
Not unless they can figure out a way to blame Whitey. Come to think of it dindus are probably behind most of the tranny deaths as well since they're largely the result of drug deals and prostitution situations gone wrong, but they can blame all non-perverts for the tranny death rate.
its DLC practices or even the microtransactions that will infest the online portion of the game (if it even gets an online mod upon release)
I'd actually be surprised if they didn't go with the CoD model where single player is nothing but a bare bones chaser for their online slop mode. GTA Online turning out to be a money printer was likely a paradigm shifter. They tried to replicate it with Red Dead Online and killed that game when they failed, but they'll surely try again.
Almost all were idiots (she spelled out exactly what she did NOT want, and 90% wanted exactly that)
I can't speak to the intentions of the men in question but that's actually a pretty solid strategy for filtering out meal whores and betabuxxers. Those rules never apply to Chad so it's a good way to filter out women who won't give you the Chad treatment.
Yeah, that sounds more like female behavior. For better or worse men put up with a ton of shit before they even think about bailing, and once marriage enters the picture the woman is the one who's financially incentivized to blow the whole thing up.
It depends how you define it. They're obviously not going to be making giant games that require the latest and greatest hardware but they can pack quite a lot into a game that only requires minimal specs and that's an impressive technical feat on its own. Between not being beholden to shareholders and not being held back by jeet code they can afford to optimize their games and therefore get a lot out of old/unimpressive hardware.
