The Gaming Den

Overlord is a fascinatingly dumb clusterfuck of a story, in that it obstinately refuses to be a story and instead bounces around schizophrenically between being various kinds of (metaphorical) porn, mostly of the powerwanking and gratuitous tragisads varieties. The various arcs of Overlord have as m...

Yeah, cultural panic Republicans being outed for beating their meat to the things they warn us are destroying America happens too often to still be funny. Alex Jones could turn out to have a gay frog as a fursona and that would answer more questions than it raised.

In economics, spherical cow land is a world of perfectly omniscient long-run rational actors where start-up/ramp-up costs and times are always zero. Every part of that is complete and total bullshit, but when you do plug those assumptions into your utopia fantasy bullshit simulator you do get a syst...

Everyone said it was garbage at release. Since I've now played the story mode and the story mode uses the launch version of the heroes and not the "seven seasons worth of content and balance patches" later versions, I can attest to that. It was clearly complete garbage at release. I haven'...

I do not really give a shit that you used to be pretty bad about the misogyny. I mean, I gave a shit, because it was awful, and because you were clearly lashing out in a way that was totally preventable if you could have sorted out whatever the fuck was going on on your end and that's frustrating to...

For some people, it's vitally important they present as societies stereotyped image of a female. They get terribly excited about dresses and makeup and... pink things, at least when they're first coming out and ordering new clothes and stuff. They feel that not presenting as this image has been a f...

I was originally just going to ignore this because Count being an asshole to one group or another is par for the course. Hell, transitioning from outright misogyny to gender essentialism is practically an improvement. But people are tip-toeing around this like they don't know how to call him out and...

One of the gangrel is wearing a necklace of bones! What more could you possibly want?

Hey, guess what. Acknowleding the existence of homosexuals is political . Both in the sense that there are people who think homosexuals should not be allowed to exist and in the sense that if you put homosexuals in your videogame as completely ordinary characters doing completely ordinary things, a ...

So he can go fuck right off. Especially when he starts inserting his politics into the article. Protip: saying anything like this makes you look like an absolute fucking moron to anyone who doesn't think "how hard should we beat our women?" or whatever is one of the serious questions of t...

The critical difference between the various ideologies of mass murder is you can't find very many people who will say in all seriousness that "Well, you know that true Nazism hasn't actually ever been tried." You're being a fucking idiot. No one who has ever said "what's communism's ...

BUT HE'S THE GUY WHO DID THE THING ON THE TV BOX I VOTED FOR TV BOX GUY CAUSE HE DID THE THING AND THE THING WAS COOL LULZ MEMES XDXDXD I'M SLOWLY DESTROYING BOTH OUR CULTURE AND SOCIETY Also, I want to note that I was about to suggest that outside of a bizarre circle of vocal and weebish fans that ...

I... I think everyone said everything I wanted to say on this topic? 3D printed guns are not the gunpocalypse. We are already in the middle of the gunpocalypse. There cannot possibly be more guns. There cannot possibly be greater access to guns. If you want a gun, you can get one. 3D printed guns ar...

It's been awhile, but I'm pretty sure that guide isn't the recommended way to set up ZDoom, and you would have had better luck just ignoring it and following the instructions on the ZDoom website/wiki/whatever. Unless they've changed substantially. So, the deal with Doom is that there's a .WAD file ...

Of all places to follow the "triggered" meme, *Vanity Fair* leads the attached and otherwise unrelated article with "On Thursday, every member of the House Oversight Committee turned into a triggered snowflake." https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/07/peter-strzok-hearing-recap ...

4chan was, from the very start, a haven for people who worshipped edge in its most puerile, least sophisticated forms - vulgarity satirizing nothing, not even itself. There may have been some other people there trying to do the whole 'culture is neat, we should have some' thing, but it did not take ...

The concept of "triggers" was adopted by the dirty feminist left from PTSD to describe survivors of traumatic events and victims of mental illness having episodes "triggered" by the unexpected recall of those experiences. This is where the notion of trigger warnings comes from; a...

I really do not understand the premise of this thread. Interstellar space is big. The nearest star is 4 light-years away. The nearest star is a shithole and nothing lives there. Smugglers are never going to make the Sol<->Proxima Centauri runs without superluminal magical sci-fi bullshit because eve...

Or they're being intentionally illogical to prevent having to deal with logical arguments. EDIT: I totally misread a pronoun in this and was an ass to you, oops. Disregard. You haven't dealt with police then, have you? You can still get shot for resisting arrest, even if there was no crime other th...

What in the sweet fuck is happening in my life lately? Have idiots' brains always been so much mush? Is there something in the water? Was my patience a finite resource that ran out sometime in 2017? ... Am I getting too dumb to parse dumb? I miss tussock. Tussock was simple. He'd say something super...

It is captivatingly stupid enough to almost bring you back for a small dose every week. You would have to pay me to get me to sit down and struggle through it if I hadn't been staying on top of it. Don't really recommend, no.

Evil Bad Guy Man: "Do your recognize this?" [He holds up 'Your First Childbirth.'] "Looks like you do. Mind giving us an explanation, Code 556? You're the one who dropped this, aren't you? But this is really strange. It wouldn't have been providied in the study here, and it surely doe...

the antagonists are "boo, gender-conforming sucks!" That's... not really the position of the Nines though. Nines very much do want the protagonists to conform, just in the specific ways approved by the evil government. DSM: "Hey, did you know Bob is color-blind?" Longes: "W...

Darling in the Franxx is bizarre and meandering and stupid. It is convinced it has things to say, but neither you nor it have any idea what they really are, and then it immediately forgets about them because space aliens. I am watching it not because it's good, not because it's so bad it's good, but...

Alright, sanity check. Can someone other than MGuy tell me if I'm making any fucking sense at all? Not whether or not you agree with me or give any fucks about this conversation, just whether or not the 2's and 2's add up to 4 and it's coherent? The stupid shit he keeps saying makes it very clear he...
