Gaming Dysgenics

Nietzsche would say that you are an pseudo intellectual artfagot and that you shouldn’t put words in his mouth.

If we're being honest - he'd probably say that to everyone alive currently

Thank you for finally addressing the "lore master" question. Lore obsession has been a huge pet peeve of mine, and the low effort, wiki-regurgitating Youtubers all the more. There is a time and place for study of the world of a fictional work, like trying to make something in it yourself, but it's usually done by retards so they can spout soy history factoids about things that don't even exist. Even people who try to make things often forget that the lore exists for the story, not the story for the lore. I think this stems mostly from INTJ brained people who are unable to enjoy things without trying to dissect them and study how they work.

"Lore" is supposed to be something you discover while playing. Watching a video explaining you the lore of Dark Souls is similar to beating the game with an immortality cheat.

Sickening.

I'll keep my ear to the rail for a chance to beat the "Game Grumps" to death with a hammer.

This was one of the most anger inducing things I have ever seen.

The people who make and watch three hour long video essays about the lore of video games are not really "human" or "sentient" to me. Take for instance this youtube comment section from a video about elden ring. Look at the comments and tell me if any of the posts read like they were made by an adult human.  

This has to do more with the way people write comments on YouTube than with the obsession over videogame "lore". Otherwise normal statement would seem "not really "human"" if worded in this retarded YT-speak.

I hate this motion capture shit, let the record show when all media and games went off on this goofy tangent it originated from introducing this white dot motion capture bullshit




People don't want to play hecking video game 'movies' and don't give a single fuck if a famous actor has an insert it's a gigantic corporate misstep baiting the consumer audience on top of the egregious sin of female characters looking ugly instead of idealized physical forms (anime)

Some of you may have seen the leaks from the new Silent Hill project with the messed up development history. First picture is that, in and out of development now. Second is a screenshot from Silent Hill 3, which came out in 2003.

This project looks like Japanese people trying to imitate Life is Strange to the point even their ability to design and model characters is degenerating to a Western level. 2000s AAA gaming still looks good. Better than most attempts at making people look good in games now. Idealised standards were still normal, designs were appealing rather than some filth-minded standard of "real", Technology stopped moving meaningfully in games around 2008. Characters don't look better than they did in the mid-2000s. They just look like they got hit with the ugly stick and then rolled in some dirty rainwater. Now it's possible nu Silent Hill could be good, or this whole design/build could be scrapped because it's recognised as shit, don't know. Just thought it was a nice occasion to highlight ugliness and draw attention to how this things used to be.

Really, look at Silent Hill 3. Amazing looking game. Silent Hill 1 too, despite being on the PS1, uses what it has so well that it comes out looking better than most new games.



We used to have such nice things.

Another problem with games now as I've talked about in the chatbox is the programming and optimizing itself. Most AAA games are >100 gb now for no reason and take 6 hours to download if you have mediocre internet and 1/6th of your hard drive or ssd.

Open up any modern AAA game's files and you'll see this shit. Tens of gigabytes of uncompressed textures; localized audio for twenty different languages, because the devs can't be arsed to properly package international versions of their games. It's remarkable how software developers manage to nullify every hardware improvement with their own incompetence.

Do you see now how retarded it is of the subhumans to seek enlightenment in art and entertainment in philosophy instead of the other way around?

Video games have always been dysgenic. Meritless time-sinks that sap your vital aggressive energies. It was easier to stick up for them when it was Nintendo 64, and XBOX couch co-op, but those days are gone, and while there may be the occasional diamond in the rough, it's best to give them a wide berth, I say. Play with friends (in real life), or revisit an old classic from time-to-time, but other than that, no - avoid.

I would argue that video games are capable of stoking the fire when nothing else can. Of course it depends on who we're talking about. When. What. My life was quite desolate early years. Video games were all I had. Exploration, aggression, curiosity, without video games they all might have just atrophied to nothing in me. I don't know what the fortnite reddit porn community is up to lately, but I do know that in general gamers have such a reputation for alignment against our time that "nigger" became "the gamer word". I know nearly all the smartest, sharpest, most internally alive people I know are into video games.

I'm less into them than I have been, there's just less to enjoy. But I still get great value out of what time I do give them.

Also you seem to have missed the point of the thread somewhat. You aren't using "dysgenic" in the same fashion as OP. This thread is not about if games are bad for you.

[anthony]

Max Payne 1 and 2 (deeply stupid games, but that's another topic) are being remade. Here's your Remedy Games bro. You ready to go back to the good old days?

A remake (SERS) of dumb fucking games, now done by women with at least an 8 figure budget. I hate gaming.

They would not have "atrophied" - your energies would have been channelled into something more productive, fulfilling and external. Gaming is a neurotic habit that promotes a lethargic, excessively introspective existence. It's no surprise, then, that such things (video games) would originate from those of weak constitution. By dysgenics, for dysgenics. OP is not observing something new in the trannified, brownoid game dev - he's just observing the shift in what has become more socially/culturally relevant to them. They have always been dysgenic, spiritual/mental infirms, it has just become more chic to flaunt it. John Romero has pronouns in his Twitter bio.

However, the "gamer -> right-wing dissident" pipeline is real - and perhaps, you could argue, there is merit in that. A sensitive, adolescent male, with the power and freedom of anonymity, with infinite access to a memetic social phenomenon taking place within a virtual space possessing a compendium of all of the world's knowledge - for how many of us, here, was gaming merely a catalyst for entering into this space? From casual observer of /v/ threads, to performative "meme Nazism", to actual, real-life racism - sound familiar?

That said, to clarify, it is not video games, themselves, that are making you a dissident: rather, it is the gamer lifestyle, and the phenomenon of the Internet associated with that, that did so. There is little, if any, actual dissident merit to playing video games, and I would argue that it's actually very inefficient to become a dissident the way that I assume the majority of us did, with a decade plus of eternal-online forum browsing, shitposting, and yes, gaming.

Okay, what would three year old latchkey Anthony have done while his scary grandmother watched soap operas in the other room if Super Mario 64 didn't exist?

Also it seems strikingly obvious that everything you're saying about video games could be said of all art. A very common trap lumberjacks fall into and never admit. Also you're abusing the term 'dysgenics' like a complete retard to the point I'm angry at you.

As for the rest, again, it's the general art case. If you aren't a shit-eating third worlder playing counter strike for 15 years straight, video games are about exercising judgment, discernment, cultivating taste. This is essential.

[anthony]

Did you expect the entire video game medium to exclude niggers and women? Idiotic.

The goal of this thread is to show people that this didn't happen and that's where it all went wrong. We cannot expect this but it must happen.

"Video games are about exercising judgment, discernment, and cultivating taste" - LOL! Granny must've done a number on you... SOME video games - very few, but some - have aesthetic merit in one or two criterion, but fail to deliver across all metrics: a game can deliver on gameplay, and music, but not gameplay, music, graphics, AND story. The Nazi Philosopher Sam Hyde has actually recently talked about this, and I believe it to be true; video games are the LOWEST form of art, because by their nature, they are required to deliver on all fronts, meaning the end-product becomes diluted, or held back, from reaching any higher form.

And besides, it's not as if three-year old you was playing Nintendo for its artistic contributions - you did it to get away from nan. Any meaning you're prescribing to video games here is just a retrospective on your behalf to glorify what was for all intents and purposes a TIME-SINK. Please, in the future, practice some humility, and stop acting like such a dysgenic, bro.

P.S. "Soap operas"? I had an inkling you weren't white - you seem to have sub-par reading comprehension - but now my suspicions have been confirmed to be true.

Show me niggers on the rockstar development team. Aside from the voice actors who they treated like mic-slaves, picking audio-cotton in the recording booth for their english masters. As all voice actors deserve to be treated.
