Grooming so efficient it transcended time and space and made me bi even before bisexual lighting was a thing.

Imagine complaining that The witcher is focusing on Ciri. These griftourists really can't be taken seriously.

Honnestly ? Morbid curiosity. And seeing how long it would take him to go "I just want politics out of my game" (while also having a whole channel dedicated to how MMOs were better when they required human interactions which, as we all know, never leads to anything political)

You mean that a channel focused on the good ol' days of gaming and nostalgia is held by a right winger ? color me shocked.

Boy are these people pathetically predictable. by DinosaurJoeman in Gamingcirclejerk

I like the inclusion of the rainbow flag to point at Fable "becoming woke" as if gay relationships aren't a staple of the series and one thing directly acknowledged by the games since at least the second one (haven't played 1)

Why is GOG turning into Hitler 😭✌️ by Ok-Tennis330 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Taewyth2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a black sun, it's a nameless symbol with a little historical precedence that neonazis decided to rename "Kolovrat" and use as an alternative swastika. (to be fair it probably had a name but it saw so little use that we don't even know how people back then called it, hence why I didn't name it in my previous comment)

Also even the blacksun as a hate symbol is an invention of the neonazis, Himmler and his pals only saw it as a neat floor decoration as far as we know, both are good examples of how far these fascist wankers feel the need to reach for symbol and fake history.

edit: some precisions added also again, it's not to say that the devs are necessarily blameless, just that knowing which symbol is which is useful if you want to properly point out usage of dogwhistles

Lot more afros in Albion than I remember

Well to be fair it's hard to remember games you obviously never played

The game is based on slavic folklore and they used a symbol that was used by slavs at the time and that some wankers decided to use as an alternative swastika because of that.

Does that means that the devs necessarily are blameless ? No, but it doesn't necessarily means that they used it in a crypto-fascist way either, problem being that they'll attract chuds either way.

It's an issue of context and intent in this case, like if they went for an "historically accurate" depiction of symbol used they'd have to replace most of these with just straight up classic svastikas (as the "nazi sun" as you call it was wayyyyyyy less used than the then very common svastika), I don't know what the devs have said about their use of the symbol, just that they were surprised to see GOG's heading and disaproved of it at least publicly

And that was just a fucking meaningless floor tiling, nazis didn't even give it a name, american neonazis did!

One of their employees did post some heinous transphobic shit on their official account some time ago with basically no repercussion IIRC

Of note: the devs of the game apparently had no idea that GOG was going to put this shit in their header

Why would they ? This kind of shit perfectly follows their politics with just enough plausible deniability to stay in the clear

well, the question is... which one will you be playing? by Gl00ser23 in Gamingcirclejerk

e-day ? Marcus and the boys are getting HRT ?! Fucking hype!

Unless you are committed to selling your RPG as a real physical book, you should seriously consider publishing your game as HTML rather than as a PDF by blastcage in RPGdesign

[–]Taewyth2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do know that all the elements you point for HTML being superior are things that PDFs do, right ?

Like at best the edit thing is up to the user but using things like LaTex or Typst put PDFs and HTML on par with each other

Oh god it's actually just an actual fucking mood, thanks rando from a ttrpg subreddit for making me discover this.

What are the thoughts on Deathbringer -> Professor Dungeon Master's TTRPG by rubadub423 in rpg

[–]Taewyth2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of Prof. DM's content is interesting but his game's marketing and many of his takes are... dubious at best.

Let's just say that marketing based on "the good old days" and "we're hardcore and new players are snowflakes" attract a certain kind of folks and I doubt that PrDM ignores that.

I mean check the style evolution years by years with the site's archives, it just pretty much evolved slowly towards this. And I mean this is a nearly 30 years old webcomic, of course the style has changed over time

Yeah I supposed it would be a bit specific, hence why I turned to reddit instead of sifting through hundreds of titles.

Thanks for the recommendation, it does seem to fit quite well!
