My childhood friend you shit face. I had to watch her grow and become what she is today.
Oh! Amazing! I've lived in Texas, Louisiana, California, Illinois, Germany and South Korea! Soon to be Washington too.
Like I said.
Wake up and face reality.

Not a bad plan. Not hard to strip an old army with crappy painting

Yeah yours are looking awesome as well!

I do miss the fluff aspect of 40k...so developed, it was great! Still, I can't bring myself to invest in it, I think the rules have just gone down the shitter in the last few editions.

Might want to pick myself up some models just to paint though! Your pics take me back to the old days Had a decent Salamander Army going a while back, loved it!

It's the shit I have been saying for what feels like ages. I don't hear about half of this SJW/Feminist shit outside of FJ, and when I get back on here it is just a massive circlejerk and every other day there is something on frontpage about it. Gets really old when people on here are more obsessed with them than anywhere else..

you haven't met my ex
you just got lucky and probably lived in one place all your life
this shit is everywhere faggot

Ignorance is bliss

my gf is slowly turning onto that shit.

my best friend's gf was already a full feminazi in 2013, when they broke up

it's really happening, folks

i live in BRHU3land, btw, just so people dont start to think 'hey that ridiculous shit happens only in the US

You do realize that game journalism controls what makes money and what doesn't right? Also it informs people which games will be released, and if there's some kind of big agreement between all major gaming news sources, then you can bet your ass it's gonna negatively affect the gaming market.

a smart gammer, however, realizes that journalism has a HUGE impact on how and what games get made.

exactly. i wouldnt say im a hardcore gamer but i have been playing most of my life, and never once have i given two shits about gaming journalism.

Not if he blindly gets a game he didn't know enough about he don't
Not if he's allowed to be ruthlessly spun around and filched by parasitic companies and publishers he don't
Not if the journos he ignores put the fear of Da Womynz into indie devs and stem the flow of games he might like he don't

You don't get rid of a problem by ignoring it
That's a surefire way to let it get worse

There's a limit to that attitude. What will you do when, hypothetically, the industry begins churning out nothing but politically correct walking simulators?

He probably still won't care about gaming journalism, as the journalists (the particularly bad ones, at least) will be the ones pushing forth and promoting the politically correct walking simulators. Not the people who play games to have fun playing games.

If it does then good for it.
Because gamers will buy what they want, they will vote with their wallets.
And the industry will follow the swings of the voters.
A few companies will make adjustments and develop games to try to get the politically correct idiots and the retarded femnazis as part of their playerbase but it won't work so those adjustments/games will either stop or send the company out of business.
If the industry did ever end up dominated with any particular type of game then that's the type of game that the vast (>75%) want.
If the industry ONLY did 'politically correct walking simulators' then that's the ONLY game the players want, because ifa small amount of the players wanted a different game (lets say 2.5% of gamers wanted a politically correct sitting simulator) then at least one company will make it because they will have access to 100% of the playerbase for that game, they won't even need to make it a good game and they'd still have a guarantee that 80+% of the people who want it would buy it because it's THE ONLY OPTION.
When mobile games came out everyone who wanted that experience got them, I know people who bought new phones because it came with game/could play games.
When/if full VR games come out the first few games to get released will get MASSIVE amounts of profit, and the reason for that is that people will want to play a full VR game.
Lets imagine the first game is SAO (without the stuck-in-a-game shit) because we have knowledge on it, so we don't have to design a new game for this argument.
The people who like hunting sims will just stay of the first floor and hunt, in full VR
the social gamers will hang out in bars and play cards or something, in full VR
the crafting gamers will become blacksmiiths and craftsmen, in full VR
the rpg players will play their rpg, but everyone else will still want to play it because they want to try full VR.
If the industry only sold one type of game, the first company to sell another would get massive amounts of profit, and the companies know this, that's why many companies try to have varience between games.
Like Blizzard, yes they still have a specific targeted playerbase but they made hearthstone, a card game, to have more variety in their game, this does a few things:
- Expands the games their playerbase has
- Expands their playerbase to include people who don't play their other games
- Adds variety to their games so that if they playerbase everychanges it's wants majorly they have security in their variety

If you have any questions/comments/discussion go right ahead, but if you're overly rude and don't consider others points then don't expect a reply

Well.. thanks for answering the question that was directed towards me, I would have said the same thing!

But do you really think VR is going to be that big of a hit? True VR requires a big, open space in order to feel real.. and most gamers probably can't afford that. Unless we trick it somehow to make our movement feel real. Until then, it will be just our hands or just the headset with a controller. People tend to forget this has been done before with the Virtual Boy and failed horribly within a few months. Of course it's more advanced now but I'll still wait to see how it goes before buying it.

I'm pretty sure true VR will be a real thing at some point in the future, it won't be soon and it won't be cheap but it will exist.
As I know it, there are two ways to produce full VR:
1: VR headset, motion detection sensors, a machine that keeps you in the same place. Theoretically easiest but I believe this won't be the one we end up with as it would require output in ways such as having the machine which keeps you centered alter it's structure to form things like stairs and obstacles.
2: Direct connect to our brains, which is theoretically possible, potentially cheaper and requires far less space. Use motor neuron signals to control your character, respond with sensory nerve signals (feel of touch, temperature)
#1 is the easiest to develop (aside from the centering maching, which could be possible with haptic holography ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=3seTlvQtIgc )
#2 is better as it allows the processing power of the brain to create the controller, only the signals must be processed and the computer would isolate the primary signals and recreate the rest using software we already have (such as tracking movement on four points on the finger (tip, base, 2 joints) and assuming all other points will roughly align with a line drawn between the two relevant points (a point at the base of my fingernail will be roughly along a line drawn between the tip of my finger and my second knuckle))

I feel like full-dive VR (the name for direct connection) could become a real possiblity following the introduction of the mind controlled limbs and such in to the consumer market. This being, of course, because of their similar working format.

I'm stoked to be in the generation that is, at the very least, going to acquire robotic limbs.

It's the same principle for output.
Except rather then controlling servo motors it controls the character.

Input is harder but we're learning more and more about the brain. We have specialised cameras that hi-jack the optic nerve and replace the signal (for blind people, swap the nonworking signal with a signal that can at least let them depict shapes) as the technology grows it'll become easier and easier to synthetically apply stimuli. Sound we can just gloss over by using regular headsets.

Goodness, that's one impeccably sound wall of text you've made there.

All I can say is that yes, voting with your wallet is the way to go, but the people with those wallets, there's always and ever that risk, that chance they could be played like puppets and purchase certain games and mainly those certain games.

For example, when Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare came out, it sold like fucking hotcakes, man. But today, though, there hasn't been much change with the franchise. Yeah, the story/setting changes slightly with each release, but it's nearly the exact same mechanics in every game since MW1: basic "realistic" multiplayer FPS with a tacked-on singleplayer campaign about some white dude dealing with evil foreigners. It worked for a couple of games, and hell, when Black Ops came out, I was pleasantly surprised, but sooner or later, the franchise and its story will get old.

What I wanna see, personally, is something in the CoD franchise that looks like it was handled by a japanese company, preferably MarvelousAQL. That's all I wanted to say.

But yes, you are correct.

I get like that sometimes.
I'll do the full version and a tl;dr version for you.

Point 1:
Full: people do get tricked but most virtual storefronts won't remove games from them unless, either they are made to or it is taking space they'd rather use elsewhere. And as long as people buy those games then the companies who own the stores will know that the type of game is still good for sale and the market will swing back towards what it truly wants.
tl;dr: people can be tricked but it won't last

point 2:
full: Call of Duty 3 sold because it's what the playerbase for it wanted, maybe they didn't want a new experience? Maybe they wanted a small update to their current experience, a chance to start the leaderboards again maybe? Play a new campaign? It worked for a couple of games and if it truly stops being what it's playerbase wants then CoD will be made into something different, or scrapped and a new game will replace it. You're right, the franchise WILL get old at some point, and when that point comes the market will move on.
tl;dr: CoD worked because it's what it's players want. it will get replaced one day but it will be replaced when it's not what the players want, or when a larger playerbase gets a game made for it that replaces CoD, which wont happen if CoD is still popular to it's players

Point 3:
full: that sounds pretty good, get enough people to agree with you and eventually the market will listen
tl;dr: that sounds pretty good.

And people want those updates. If they don't want it any more, they won't buy them. Because surprise: your opinion is not the only one that exists in the world and you're not the sole metric through which things are measured. The system works, for the majority.

I'm a bit busy eight now, I'll reply later on.

Gamergate is a bunch of retards who took ten years to realise Kotaku is shit. They also don't know what words mean, but then again, neither does Kotaku or anyone else they supposedly fight (bitch at and trash talk, mainly).

I just see a lot of women with colored hair yelling about women being sexualised.

Something about Bayonetta 2?

Pay them zero mind. If you want to go down a hole of full retardation where nobody has any sense then either side of Gamergate is a ticket to that hell. Otherwise steer cleer. Regardless of whose opinion you might share, they are all retards and choose to express those opinions as retards with arguments to make a 4 year old roll their eyes. Just avoid both sides of the conversation entirely and play some games.

Sounds good to me, I don't understand why someone would want to spend their whole time being pissed about games instead of playing them.

There's a hell of a ton of achievements they've done since August 2014.
To sum it up, GG is a consumer revolt against game journalism biased towards either

praising a developer/publisher they should be wary/critical of (it's their fucking job to review/critique games, getting buddy-buddy with devs is quite the conflict of interest),

or

pushing a heavily politically correct agenda like it's some kind of miracle drug with it's actually the death of creativity and imagination.

Honestly, just browse the reddit board for it, /r/KotakuInAction . You'll get one side of it, at least. I should add, avoid /r/GamerGhazi . They pretty much talk shit about Gamergate and do nothing else.

Oh, I've never really paid attention to gaming journalism because I've always seen games I like get bad scores so I just stopped caring.

I guess I missed a lot overall.

I should hurry and fix my wording.

*GG is a consumer revolt against fixed/biased game journalism that leans towards either

You should never have come...

How casul do you have to be. You only have to move your car left like half a meter to see incoming trafic. It's best to stick close enough so you get minimal passing distance, shift down, and move fast.

Most of you shit heads don't even have a licence and you're trying to teach me. You people are beyond retarded.

I pointed out the fact that you're supposed to sit to the interior of the lane, it's pretty much basic knowledge. Do you even actually drive? Room to accelerate. It's called catching speed, and it's a COMPLETELY bad idea.

Let me teach you how to pass a car.
1. Sit on the inside of your lane, so the driver in front can see you.
2.Signal
3.Make sure there is no incoming trafic.
4.Shift down, accelerate, start passing.
5.Signal and return.
6.carry on.
I've done amateur racing and i'm getting you people teaching me how to drive. Really?

I get that you're a shitposter and all that, but so nobody here follows your advice mistakenly, I'm going to clear a few things up.

Staying close to the rear end of the truck leaves you in their wake. It's more fuel efficient, but far more dangerous, as vehicles such as that have huge blind spots, leaving them to make decisions based on traffic being further back than your tailgating ass. It does allow you to accelerate faster, hence why it's commonly done in racing.

Staying further back has far more advantages - when it comes to staying further back, you have a clearer view of the road ahead as per the vanishing points past the truck, you have more time to accelerate meaning you'll be moving faster in the opposing lane and thus spend less time in said lane, and you have more time before pulling out to pass after beginning acceleration to, if necessary, change your mind and slow down again. It also makes the distance you need to pass lower, as you're taking less time to accelerate in the oncoming lane.

There's also another advantage - balance. Your car has four wheels, that's four corners to drive with. If you own a front wheel drive car, you stand a lower risk of losing traction whilst accelerating and turning, however when you do lose traction you lose both velocity and steering control. Even in a front wheel drive car, accelerating hard puts the balance of the car further back - you're pushing down on the rear wheels harder, as inertial effects on the wheels and motor take effect. In a rear wheel drive car, you're at a significantly higher risk, as rather than adding pressure to the rear wheels, you're taking pressure off of the front wheels, shifting the balance back further and leaving the steering prone to slipping. Doing this while turning, which naturally pressures one side of the car more than another (hence why cars can roll over), leaves one corner of your car significantly more heavily pressured than the other three, leading to a total loss of traction. It's a similar effect to panic braking in corners causing a roll, only with the opposite front/back balance difference.

It's better to overtake in four main stages - accelerating, moving out, moving back in, and decelerating, as it keeps the balance of the car neutral for turning. On a motorcycle, this effect is significantly more notable, hence why when training for hazard avoidance you're taught to stay off of the brakes until past the hazard, as you are in a neutral balance when turning if not accelerating or decelerating.

Accelerating while turning is a basic technique, you're not entering a 90 degree turn to loose traction, you're barley turning the steering wheel ~5 degrees to get in the other lane, you shift down, you accelerate, you pass, you return. Are you people that retarded not to understand this simple technique?

Seriously, you guys are just fucking retarded, keep at it. I don't even know why i'm bothering. I make ~50km a day minimum and I get to dodge hundreds of you theory lovers who are shit behind the wheel. Guess what, faggot. I know the physics, it's my major, it's the reason I love drifting. Dumbass.

So you're saying the entire ~50km a day you cover is all perfect road surfaces with no areas of low traction, no white paint, no foul weather, and certainly no ice? Bullshit.

As for how far a day you drive, my daily commute is from a village on the outskirts of Bedford to Hertfordshire (UK). It's around a 45 mile trip each way, since motorways on a low power motorcycle are not fun. That's 90 miles, or 144.84km per day. Distance isn't everything, but having plenty of road experience helps, something you seem to lack. Track experience is not even similar.

You people circlejerk so hard it's disgusting.

you can go to me for advice

That's one hell of an accomplishment. I don't think I've ever gone beyond 200 thumbs

Oh well my first multiplayer experience was both of my friends spawning random as black people (Since it was the first multi build at the time), I then took a watermelon from a fridge. Being the black characters they were they began chasing me around with kitchen knives trying to take my melon, eventually I surrendered it to them after a stab to the chest.

Then I got sick and began dying from the stab, they said it was aids and that to cleanse it a sacrifice must be made, I then pulled out my baseball bat and kept them at bay as if they were rabie infested animals.

My first experiences are beyond crazy and reasonably sane, but you know, kind of a one-time thing for me.

I enjoyed Starbound mainly because I spent so much dam time playing terraria and then spent even more time playing Starbound with friends just as much. Engineers was meh, I wanted to play survival but it consumed too much time, Project zomboid was alright, they should not have made it multiplayer.

Speaking of Zomboid it's been almost a year since they pulled NPCs out so that they could 'fix' them and yet we're still waiting for them, I played the game back in its first stepping stone and I dislike where they went with it, originally it has a very cutesy art style, was simple and the map didn't make you spend 3 dam hours in a forest because over 50% of the map now is fucking NOTHING BUT TREES.

All I see is 'dev updates' and 'bug fixes', from that game and have given up on it.

Then buy it and never play it until it's finished, shit's sitting in my library while I play other new titles.

I tried Battle Brothers, put a refund request on it immediately, performance is horseshit and this is on a laptop that can run Dota on its most beautiful settings with smooth frames. Menus and UIs are very 'laggy', like it feels like lag, but it really isn't, just horrible optimization; it might be specific to my specs, but I have a Nvidia 840 which is fairly good at running almost any game these days, not always the best, but it does better than average.

Wait until it's finished, they just released a swathe of new content and I played the shit out of the base early access game. Not touching the new content till it's finished, looks really promising.
