somebody on twitter is saying "maybe if smash competitors can't handle items and stage hazards then they aren't as good as they say they are" and the 20-year-running forum debate scars about "randomness in competitive games" are opening up again

Does anybody want: to cuddle

CS Go? More like siesta

Though you could also fairly say "I like video games and pretend everything by Rockstar doesn't exist" and be right

Tonight I dodged a Red Dead Redemption 2 conversation by saying "I usually prefer silly stuff like this (smash bros)" and I think I stand by that claim if you look at it from the right angle

The upside, I suppose, is that being able to play as the bad guy does communicate the banality of evil. Maybe it's fun (in a horror/thriller way) to be scared of situations, made plausible through rules and simulation, where key battles of history unfolded differently; to see the world as being more mutable and not taking any human rights victory for granted.

I dunno, maybe there is some form of play within the possibility space of realistic battle scenes from the civil war that helps people engage with history or deal with the emotional trauma of the past--and therefore a compelling reason for the game to exist.

But it's a lot more culturally dangerous than the fictional wars of Overwatch and Black Ops, and I would like to see the developer say not just "we don't support the views depicted in this game" but more specifically "we think the Confederacy had some screwed up ideas but this scenario doesn't make sense without them"

Like Mafia 3 did

There's an American Civil War FPS in the top-selling list on theme which is just a lot of dog whistles

called "War of Rights"

says you can "fight to defend your family and livelihood with the Confederacy"

boasts "historical accuracy" without mentioning the term "slavery" at all

basically just taking the trappings of history and turning into a gory playset

my reaction is extremely skeptical but I'm also wondering what the "responsible" way of doing this is?

was boring

Well I guess I'm gonna re-sub to PS+ for Onrush and Iconoclasts

people need a place where they can safely be horny and explore sexual topics and it sucks that tumblr has decided not to be that place

Thing I didn't do well enough in 2018: keep up with current popular music

I've got a playlist of albums from 2018 (or late 2017) and I think I'd like to play through it at least once by the end of the month

additional fun fact: slide-mouse-to-move is the preferred movement technique for Wolfenstein 3D speedrunners

If you want to backpedal, just slide the mouse towards you

The Quake 1 default controls in its original release see you resting your left hand over the , . / keys while holding down the right mouse button to move forward. To look up and down you must be holding down the middle mouse button.
