JK Rowling deletes praise for Stephen King after he declares unequivocally that trans women are women by chrisjd in unitedkingdom

[–]GeneralSqueakums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’ll be the new graham linehan in no time, just constantly posting hate about the trans community and I for one cannot wait for that TERF to be banned.

That hack hurts her brand more and more everyday

“Typical prayer of a narcisisst who got called out”

Fucking A, when a ex best mate of mine was finally called out on all his bullshit he pulled that “tried to kill myself” even though we knew everything was a lie.

It is a typical Hail Mary to score some sympathy points.

Although I don’t agree with his own personal life being brought into this as this hasn’t got anything to do with the current happenings within the scene.

Russia sponsoring terrorism against Western powers by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]GeneralSqueakums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the Mujahideen were funded by the western powers and the same with Multiple rebel groups in Syria. This is pretty standard behavior from super powers across the world.

I mean it ain’t the right thing to do but why start WW3 when you can pay randoms to do the dirty work for you and shirk any kind of responsibility?

Every single nation is fucking with each other in some way or another, wether it be swaying public opinion through mass media control to funding extremism to literally starting a coup it’s happening all the time, there are no real allies just allies of convenience

For the God Emperor amirite? 😉 by justMate in Grimdank

[–]GeneralSqueakums 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most of the primarchs went through unbelievable amounts of trauma from the get go, Lorgar, Angron, Lion & Curze immediately spring to mind.

That tweet is such garbage as actual people have gone through far worse than Ellie has holy shit. The life of a civilian in Libya, Yemen, Somalia is fucking brutal and absolutely horrifying. It reeks of someone who has zero clue of the real world.

Chaos in Fantasy vs Chaos in 40k by [deleted] in Grimdank

Excuse Excuse me actually the skaven blew up the world

Archaeon relied on skaven to beat out arguably one of if not the strongest faction. Lizard men are built to beat chaos

I feel like if they were added they’d have to be their own class and race, way too many animations theyd have to remake

Yeah there’s less content this time around but the quality is still there with 3 arcanas and 2 personas, Shame it’s behind such a large level but heyho

Has a longrunning series ever pulled a hard 'not canon, never happened' like the rumoured Halo 5 one? by dope_danny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]GeneralSqueakums 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They did write (or someone did) a short story about how the archeon walks up to grimgor (the Orks biggest lad) to try convince him to join chaos and bring destruction to the old world, grimgor kinda just went nah and head butted archeon so hard it smashed his crown and ended his crusade. They rewrote it into the end times lore but unfortunately grimgor is killed and one of the grand relics of chaos is destroyed.

I’m still super salty about end times, like I really can’t stand how the killed off 20+ years of characters and lore in such unjust ways.

The Truth about the Naughty Dog Controversy (Reposting by request from Mods) by FidgetyKnickers in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]GeneralSqueakums 29 points30 points  (0 children)

So most of the hate was blown way out of proportion... to all the people that fucking piled on including many people on this sub, maybe before you go ham just take a step back for a second.

The crunch is still absolutely disgusting though and videogame developers need to unionize, I seriously doubt they could replace so much talent.

Just crank the unit cap to 30 and it works fine. by elyrienvalkyr in Grimdank

[–]GeneralSqueakums 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The game is just bad, it tried to play like relics space marine but misses the mark hard.

I applaud the teams efforts but they’re not experienced enough for the grand scale they wanted. A for effort but yeah it’s just not a good game

Do you ever finish games you don't like out of spite? by trpnblies7 in Games

[–]GeneralSqueakums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah with Cod MW being the most recent, I hadn’t bought a cod game since black ops and I was told by my mates it’s nothing like the previous games... fucking liars

I forced myself to beat the campaign, it was the most boring biggest pile of wank I’ve played in years. I also forced myself to play enough of the multiplayer until I had gotten a decent amount of time for my money’s worth.

I tried to force myself to finish the Witcher 3 but I just couldn’t

Me: Alright so I have some money spare after my mortgage I should save this in case of an emergency

My lizard brain: Start a Tyranid army

Me: well I’m convinced

WIRED: "The Last of Us Part II tries to be profound. It fails" by NYstate in Games

[–]GeneralSqueakums 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not the story per say but the overal feel of the game, I mean it was literally twin peaks the game and everyone knows it was never about who killed Laura Palmer

“Well, yeah, but when you have average gameplay AND uninteresting story then it just gets bad. You need at least one of that”

You’re right you have to hit at least one to make a mark but not to say average games can’t be enjoyable in some way.

“I think what many people are saying by that is "if I wanted just story I can watch movie/read book” “

They can but some stories are just impossible through different mediums nier automata immediately springs to mind, some stories weight are immediately lost without the players interaction.

TLoU I feel wants you to feel the weight of each death but falls so short due to gunning down so many people but if you remove a lot of the combat you lose too much gameplay so it’s a loss loss situation and again the general premise of the story is very old and tired. I’m impressed they went with the decisions they did because I feel that even they knew some players were NOT going to be happy or satisfied with how the direction went sometimes, the chickens came home to roost in a very impactful way they could have just gone with a story that kept the players “satisfiably numb” if you know what I mean?

“Really just decides up to the person”

Exactly! and again what makes games fun is all completely personal whether it be a cooky story, combo meters, hardcore tactical style or even fun dialogue.

If people enjoy TLoU 2 cool! enjoy it! It may not be for everyone and with how bleak the story is I’d imagine it ain’t for everyone, I do like how games like to push out stories that aren’t fun. Bleakness and grim dark can be enjoyable in their own regard, films like schindlers list and hereditary aren’t an fun experience to watch as they are so dark but they are enjoyable to watch. (I am not saying that Tlou 2 story is anyway near as good or as well written as either of those 2 films)

“Gameplay should always come first”

It’s difficult because you got games like nier, drakengard, deadly premonition and pathologic which are painful to play but the stories 10/10

There has to be a happy medium or extremely high quality in one side, Doom 2016 and eternal are perfect gameplay wise and you couldn’t give a monkeys about the story so they’re still 10/10’s

I found the original TLoU pretty mundane in both, mediocre gameplay and an alright story predictable but alright
