"The Use And Abuse Of Old game Styles" was my favorite thread on Amarna I, and I finally ran into something that pissed me off enough to force my hand in recreating it:
Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer

The Frank in question:
But a lotta the shit on his TL is pretty un-pozzed:
Spawn (and McFarlane) figure, framed desaturated image of whores.
In general, decent amount of lust (Hook-Ups, hentai, etc.) and wrath (Spawn, Slipknot, etc.), which is surprisingly unrepentant ("edgelordism") for a Millennial.

Posts a lot of (good) old convention images:
..and he seems to genuinely like Japanese games— I saw him mention killer7 and Chulip.
Okay, for an '07 Twitter account followed by SomethingAwful and someone who was part of Mega64 (Consolevania is better) this isn't that bad— discounting the Juggalo furfaggotry.
But I wanted to make a similar point here to Gaming Dysgenics, which this will be the "sister" (they're both men) thread to.
Back to "SLAYERS X", this shit is more retarded than Powerup:
Let's note the year on that— 2007. Who the fuck cares (30 going on 50 faillennials) about a parody of the '90s in 2023? Holy STUCK, this is fucking revivalism of "Remember the '90s" revivalism from the early '10s on Tumblr (which isn't surprising considering they made Hypnospace Outlaw).
This was also a LONG running trend:
Again, 2008. OLD. (Though I thought Gaming Guyz was pretty funny, I always liked the Flash Tub.)
Though aesthetically SLAYERS X is more like Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff:
Since it's meant to be more like ironic post/FYAD Blingee edit shit, which was very popular on Tumblr.
Still more to discuss about the "people" talking about this game:

Gee, it sure is crazy and UNIMPORTANT these SPECIFIC details keep coming up in everything I talk about. Well, nothing to see here— so let's move along!
"Duke Nukem" where have I heard that name before?

Can we get an early life check on Zoey?
Just as I suspected, Canadian.
Before I move on, let's Thing: Japan Duke Nukem:
Right, so from here I'd like to point out that "Boomer Shooters" but especially "SLAYERS X" is edgelord-camp. Let me show you what "SLAYERS X" should look like, by the parameters it's set:

I've been playing DOOM II and looking into DOOM .wads after reading about the MyHouse.wad, which lead me to dig around for anything controversial. "SLAYERS X" should look and feel like this— like Madness Combat, Hellsing, The Matrix, The Specialists... not like fucking Conker's Bad Fur Day:
Issue is, since they can't (not like they'd want to) get away with doing it like Postal 2 (which is basically still libtard bullshit anyways), they have to dial up only the scatological ZOGshit 'cause the "waycism" (and violence, SLAYERS X only uses dumbass fake guns to further undercut violence) would be a no-go.

HaHA— oops! That's the wrong video, here's the real one:
https://twitter.com/b0tster/status/1550264605536145411
This part should really go in Gaming Dysgenics, but I need to bring it up here to establish where and WHO "retro" faggotry is coming from:
Just to be clear, no I wasn't trying to learn how to buy a woman's shit— I already know how to do that and it's significantly worse than anything in this video.
STOP READING! That last line "I wasn't a goth in high school, but I would've loved to have been one" I want you to repeat that to yourself until you could recite it. That is the skeleton key to understanding what "troons" are.
I'm actually going to end the post here just because of how important the quote from that stupid no-chin bitch selling her shit is, but I'll come back soon because I've been meaning to reply to this thread since it was originally on Amarna I.

Zoey Handley Wrote:I did not spell the title wrong
We take for granted how difficult it is to do a bad thing well, especially in video games. There are plenty of bad movies intentionally made to be fun to watch. Digital marketplaces are full of bad games made badly and good games made poorly, but creating a game that is intended to reflect bad design but is actually fun to play; that takes work. [...]
Zoey Handley Wrote:[...] If you played Hypnospace Outlaw, you’ll no doubt remember Zane. He was a teenager during that game’s events and was an accurate reflection of a certain type of internet denizen that still exists today. He was a very self-centric type who mistook his alienation as a sign of being above everyone else and destined for greater things. [...]

Zoey Handley Wrote:I don’t know if it was specifically a millennial thing to have a phase where you think you’re due for some world-changing event to prove yourself in, but I definitely had something close. The whole setup is intensely familiar to me. I even had a notebook back when I was a kid, where I was outlining the design of a game. Not strictly a self-insert thing like Zane did, but definitely an edgy shooter that I tried to replicate in Duke Nukem 3D. Slayers X just speaks to me at a core level.
"Duke Nukem" where have I heard that name before?
deleted Wrote:I'm definitely over thinking it and thanks.
I know he was designed as the typical action hero with no intention of him being gay or bi. What I'm unclear on is if he's a parody or not. My Duke gaming is limited to Duke Nukem 3D and Duke Nukem Forever. I tried a demo of one that was side scrolling but didn't get into it. Manhattan Project?
If, for some reason, my theory panned out, it wouldn't be pandering if it just happened. Just have him faced with an alien that is trying to kill him but, to us, it looks like it's trying to kiss or mate and have Duke say a line like "I fuck women and I fuck guys but I draw the line at alien shitbags!". That's literally all they'd need to do. They wouldn't need a 45 minute cutscene of Duke crying in the shower as he struggles with confusion about his sexuality or add a Pride Parade minigame.
Although, as I said, it's just a fun theory I like. It wasn't their intention when they created Duke, I know it's not canon and I'm not calling for him to be rewritten as gay or bi.
Is sexuality still a hot issue? I thought it had become mundane to media.

The True and Only Heaven Wrote:[...] Sociologists observed, usually with a suggestion of disapproval, that working people seemed to have no ambition. According to Lloyd Warner, who studied Newburyport in the I930s, working-class housewives set the dominant tone of cultural conservatism. They adhered to a "rigid" and "conventional" code of morality and seldom dared to "attempt anything new." They took no interest in long-range goals. "Their hopes are basically centered around carrying on [and] take the form of not wanting their present routine disturbed—they want to continue as they are, but, while doing so, better their circumstances and gain more freedom."
