Retro games

That's a common image of the Hindu Goddess Kali. There are spiritual symbolic meanings behind it. Shiva is depicted lying on the ground as well, which is also symbolic. There is nothing suspicious about this picture specifically that I am aware of.

But I would say, even regardless of that - that is how I (and people in general) interpret it, symbolic or not.
It's not exactly something to put on the main ToZ frontpage for people to see. Would give the wrong vibes so to say.

I don't really understand. These are sacred stories of Hindu mythology and culture. The imagery may be graphic just like the image of Indra slaying Vritra. But it's also graphic to shoot someone in the back of their heel with an arrow, or to battle a sea serpent with a spear/sword/hammer, or decapitating Hydras, putting the head of a Gorgon on your shield, etc... these are all sacred stories and images of our cultures.

It's also not the front page of the ToZ.

Well it's a good thing it's not, that was my point.
Just seemed a bit fishy to me having it as a signature picture even if it's supposedly symbolic of something else, as it's very graphic as you said, and not something I associate with spiritual advancement or peace of mind. The guy admitted to trolling also but I'm not really sure in what way, and now he's about to leave. I would just advice to change/remove that particular image, but I'm certainly not a mod here. It's just the opinion of mine.

I'm not concerned with him nor defending him. If I'm defending anyone here then it's Kali. It didn't make sense to me, and I assumed possible ignorance on your part which is why I took the time to try to explain regarding the picture. If goblock is an enemy then there are also much better angles to attack from rather than attacking our own cultures.

I sort of understand where you're coming from, although taking this approach towards a troll is probably going to have them laughing at you.

Ok well I did not attack, just expressed my opinion, and if that's something to laugh about then go ahead

I sent you another message, I don't know if this or the previous one will be approved first.

Double-checking your signature refers to a cult of human sacrifice in India (possibly a jewish-gypsy infiltration of the time in India).
A cult of thieves and human sacrifices, who knows who might remember all that?

Then nyarlathotep is a "dark deity" invented by a writer, perhaps blaspheming the name of Thoth, putting him in the middle.

no it doesnt refer to cult of human sacrifice i dont know where you got that from i explain in my other message to you it is kali and order of nine angels. i dont think nyarlathotep is blaspheme of thoth that wasnt intention, i just like hp lovecraft so i put this god in signature, like i say he is probably actually a thoughtform right now. you are kinda speculating that i am referencing and secret blaspheme the gods when this isnt true their are secret references in my posts and signature but not the ones you refer to.

Do you even know what is the Order of the Nine Angles?

Do you exactly know who HP Lovecraft exactly is? :|

The Order of the Nine Angles is a supposed Zevist organization that is engulfed with and members in it indulge with human sacrifice, drug trafficking and even terrorist attacks, gloryfing the above mentioned to a psychologically unbearable extent.

Second of all, Lovecraft is a jewish writer who invented all the Cthulhu and the fake Necronomicon history and much the Frank Widen troll posts.

Lovecraft isn't at all a thoughtform as he is a jew, and besides psychic vampirism, Lovecraft didn't do anything else.

If you are agreeing to the conceptions of the Order of the Nine Angles, though I can't say that is certain, or I even ask myself why you are agreeing with such an order, then indifferently, the TEMPLE OF ZEUS forum is not for you and I suggest you to find another.

Just keep in mind that this user Goblock has admitted to trolling ToZ and other attempts to waste time and energy of genuine Zevism.

There is a limit to the amount of attention that should be given to someone who abuses this very thing.

yeah i said i troll for fun sometimes ask legit questions other times i dont know how often i have to say this

You have an imbalance here.

You say you are trolling but halfway on your road you ask legit questions.

Be more specific on this apth as you either troll, or ask legit questions and evolve.

The rest about you isn't at all necessary to be discussed about you as it will only waste time and space on the server.

Video games have interactive properties that are exclusive to the medium that is not present anywhere else and when certain elements are present I think these can be considered art. However most games are designed for entertainment & addiction purposes with the intent of maximizing profits from consumers.

Games that have strong narratives or mechanics that incentivize the user to tap into their creativity and make it manifest in the simulation can have similar psychological effects to other mediums of art.

In the example of a story-driven game, one can experience emotional responses to witnessing this story develop in the same way one can experience these by reading a fantasy book. Shocking and/or emotional scenes in these can elicit similar responses from viewers as a disturbing/emotional painting.


But these are all things of the past as games are no longer developed by artists, writers and creative people. Nowadays games are developed by teams of psychologists who finely craft virtual experiences designed to overload your brain with dopamine to cause addiction and dependency on these "games", which typically involve high prices for simple features and mechanics of the game. Modern games being infested with gambling and addictive features are not an accident.

Games could be considered art at some point, but now are reduced to simply being lucrative products. Even most developers independent from jewish companies are developing games in this way.


Modern games are primarily designed to be like addictive drugs and are far more damaging to one's psyche and brain functions than most people believe. People who have completely fried their brains with the extreme overload of dopamine have lost all will and desire to accomplish anything in real life and are complete slaves to these dopamine buttons in the form of games.

Look at the biggest losers, neets and failures in the age-group of around 20-40 and almost all of them have one thing in common. They all play these fucking "games" on a daily basis. And like any drug addict, they become extremely hostile when you criticize their drug and their addiction.

This goes a bit offtopic, but I would not say that all modern games are like that even if many of them today are.
Such addictive games you describe are for example World of Warcraft and Fortnite where people actually buy items/upgrades/characters and get hooked by various rewards in the game.

My favorite modern games are Skate 3, Dishonored and Starcraft 2. None of them are like that, except some people might get a bit too hooked on Starcraft 2, but I don't think that's the game's fault.

On a side note, the reason I never finished the project I mentioned in this thread must be this: nobody gives a shit

Those games are all over a decade old, and definitely don't apply to the "modern" category at least by my metric. And yes I am aware that there are exceptions, but the minority is irrelevant.

When considering the industry as a whole, does it really matter that 1% of games released this year don't have those problems, when the rest 99% do...The minority is irrelevant, that's why it's called the minority.


This is similar to discussions about muslims for example, when one mentions the 1 in 100 muslims who don't want to rape and slaughter your women and children in the streets. And since 1% is peaceful I must tolerate the group as a whole. Sorry but no.

You are right, it's my subjective opinion, there are games that are pieces of art that should be respected.

Well I could also mention Dishonored 2 from 2016. The ones I mentioned are from 2010-2012 so I don't see how they are not modern. I don't keep much track of what's being released right now but perhaps you're right about this evolution of making people more hooked by various techniques. Don't seem to work for me that much though, as I don't care much for the "rewards" when playing Mortal Kombat 11 from 2019.

In any case it's retro games we were supposed to discuss here and not modern games, or Kali for that matter

Some more favorites among retro games are:

Genesis:
Sonic 1&2
Aladdin

Snes:
Super Probotector
Donkey Kong Country

Neogeo:
Metal Slug
Fatal Fury 3
Ninja Masters
Last Resort
Neo Turf Masters

"Wasted" a lot of time on these, and will probably do it again. Retro games are very charming.

Good but is that all you do in your life? You can also go out once in awhile and that is my point as if you dont you will lose touch with the world and even playing a game with a friend can help you go out to others. ToZ lifestyle can be a bit isolated and you still need to live aswell. Enjoyment but a few shades more im terms of work?

Nice game you have here

Interesting!

But, there are other good games like the ones I have posted in this topic, or even games that are logically designed to train your memory and exercise your brain and they are very good.

Games like online puzzles or something :idea:

Way back when I was in a dark place I played a certain game and those kinds of games helped keep my mind sharp. It really can be good but it cant be all. I hope folk know what I mean.

I think video games are on their way out. Time for books to make a comeback as a dominant form of entertainment. Bring on the innovative publishing businesses that compete to win over authors. Give authors OPTIONS.

Unfortunately it will take a lot of time before literature returns to a gentile-friendly state again. Many of you may don't know it, but it is the most SJW infested media in the current days. In fact there is not a single modern novel that is not about either "muh feminism", "muh GBLTQWERTY+", "muh racism", "muh diversity". We're no longer in the times of Homer or Virgil, nor of Dante or Shakespeare. The main representant of the current book culture is in fact the average Twitter Feminist and her simp and there is barely anyone in the book industry to counter all of this shit. I hope that the time when we will purge all this woke garbage and replace it with new, clean and Zevist literature that teaches actual morals and other useful tips for life.

 

[Nimrod33]

No, no. You don't focus on what's already out there. There's a sea of trash, and if you can't fix that right now then just do your thing while pretending it's not there. All people need to do is create new publishing businesses and protect these from yehuborim. That's what I'm talking about. The internet allows for everything, good or bad. Ignore the bad, and create the good. Do your OWN thing. Don't project yourself into THEIR narrative, don't be part of THEIR conversations. They'll be kvetching about you soon enough if you're successful, and they'll be ignored then too. Don't give them attention. Just create.

It's not like previous decades where they could ban books, and you could never dream of getting anything published. Anyone can publish anything now because standards and xian moral bullshit sensibilities have been rightfully abandoned. By creating independent, de-centralized publishing businesses with internet presence, the yehuborim won't be able to control what gets published and advertised. Gain enough traction and influence, and you could literally start swaying the mainstream narrative. Best of all, we have magick which they can't do anything about anymore. Success will come to us no matter what they have to say about it.

I have to agree on this one, expecially since I love the idea of writing books that portrays gentile culture and Paganism as good and enemy shit as evil, while not doing it directly. I'm also fine with writing stories that at least, while not spiritual, have some WW2 regime morals. The only thing that I hate about my stories is my writing style. :lol:

I also love drawing, so I combine the skill in order to create illustrated books, hoping that one day I will be at the level of gentile illustrators such as Gustave Dore.

 

[The Jackal]

Ahhh old games. I remember first thing I did when i got new game was to check if it had map editor or some modding tools. I enjoyed creating stuff more than actually playing game. Warcraft 3 TFT modding was best, I was high on life as hell back then. Only limitation was computing power :lol:

Not many games nowdays support easy modding and stuff like that. Back in the old days you had expansion packs and not this "DLC" crap you have now. And with all of this game devs started removing modding support cause it made their DLC marketing look like shit. Hell even Blizzard made ToS for Starcraft 2 claiming that all maps you make belong only to them... What a fcking joke really.

And yea games nowadays are recycled crap. Only good games right now that make you use brain and creativity are basically Kenshi and Dwarf Fortress (Which are not popular because they're too "difficult" for average intelligence person :lol: ). RPGs like Pillars of Eternity and upcoming Baldurs Gate 3 are good too if youre into good story.

At least somewhat related to the topic, here is an old game I made from scratch in Director:

https://odysee.com/@xlnt666:7/janne_in_wonderland:c

It's called "Janne In Wonderland" and was made as a multimedia school project in 2002.

Too bad Director does not exist anymore since it was discontinued by Adobe in 2017. Had fun with that program.

Retro games I also want to mention are these "point-and-click" adventure games.
Some favorites among these are:

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis:

This game is extremely cozy and atmospheric with good music etc. Have strong memories from this one.
They do a unfortunately portray "evil nazis" as the bad guys though trying to steal ancient artifacts, but if one has the ability to look beside that then it's a really good game.

Day of the Tentacle:

Also very cozy and nice game. You play 3 characters being sent into 3 different years through a time machine.
One is in the present, one in the past and one in the future. Changing certain things in the past will affect the future and so on, pretty cleverly made.

Full Throttle:

Cozy game like the others here where you play as a biker.

I could also mention Sam & Max and The Secret of Monkey Island but I have not played those through yet.
All of these mentioned are from LucasArts.

 

[xlnt]

I could also add, regarding this "waste of time" aspect; that I almost always listen to some podcast when I play games.
At least games like Skate 3. Often times it's something from "Nordisk Radio" (radio of The Nordic Resistance Movement).

The best English speaking podcast on Nordisk Radio is "Leadership Perspective":
