Video games

[Dahaarkan]

I have written on this before the danger with modern video game design is it's been noted how addictive they can become and how this can be exploited for profit. Your subconscious brain does not understand the difference between achieving something in real life and achieving something in a virtual reality you're immersed in.

There's a reason many games incorporate some form of competitive gamemode, ranks, leaderboards etc. This creates the illusion that the player is truly climbing socially and achieving things, when in reality we all know it's just moving pixels on a screen.

Your brain rewards you in the same way it would if you were making progress and achieving stuff in real life. This is not to say games can't be artistic in nature there's still lots of good stuff out there, mainly single player or casual multiplayer games.


MMO (especially MMORPG) games were attempting to take this idea further by creating a fully fledged player-driven society and economy and it had some success as some people became totally consumed by these games and fried their brains in their illusions of achievement and social climbing in a video game.

Skyrim is a curse on the Serpent the plot of the game revolving around a curse that makes a dragon fall from the sky is self explanatory. The more you understand things and more importantly how open you are spiritually the more you will realize the true meaning of what you're seeing on screen particularly the main quest line.

This is why the game was pushed, updated and sold even years after it's release. Yehuborim want this game on every platform and want it to remain relevant forever for a reason.

Games such as CS:GO LoL WoW are such a waste of time. Their players are all lifeless fucking wimps.

But maaan I love blowing ailen Yehubor hive mind sons of bitches in retro FPS games such as DooM, Quake, Serious Sam, Duke Nukem etc... :lol: :mrgreen: :twisted:

But maximum 45-60 minutes if I happen to play.

Sending love and greetings to România

If you like the feeling of fighting against aliens in video games I will recommand you Stellaris, Age of Wonders: Planetfall and XCOM2. I think these are all good games. You won't regret for spending spare time on them.

Most single player games are good. They are cheap (Sometimes for free) and not time-wasting at all. I enjoy the beautiful scenes and good stories of these games. In my eyes they are art works. If you don't know these kinds of games , just google Red Dead Redemption 2. It is a good example.

Also, you can't ignore horror games. For example, Outlast 1 and 2. They also don't have any of the problems the topic mentioned.

Skyrim is a ten-year-old game now. I can't believe that you guys are still talking about this old game on video game topic. Many people play this game are not for the original game, but for the adult content. Precisely, for the mods made by other gamers.

Thank you for giving time making recommendations, but I call myself a retro gamer (because I have a shit pc :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ). But my pleasure of aestethics have a tendency for old stuff. Not only old graphics, but also old photos, books, videos etc. I have all sorts of old-ass stuff from VHS camcorder to old furniture :mrgreen: .

If I happen to find Outlast for a cheap price, I'll take a look at that. Thank you again!

There is no problem at all with a lot of the older games people might have played when they were growing up. It may even be better than watching tv. However some of the new games either are degenerate or designed to be extremely addictive and time consuming. My cousin once told me about how he lost a partner because she would literally spend almost the entire day on the computer some playing video (do not remember which one) this is not healthy. Hell a person could do some of the meditations they have memorized while playing some things if they like. Racing games and cartoon games and even things like Twisted Metal they don't have a huge problem with them. However some of the games where you go around shooting people with realistic blood and things like grand theft auto. I don't like them I find it degenerate and I do not even think getting them. Don't want to fill my mind with that garbage. I say if you just want to have a little fun sometimes and maybe with a friend family member or partner too there is nothing wrong with this. We have some video games a playstation and an xbox we play sometimes. There is nothing more wrong with some of this than listening to music or watching a movie sometimes. However if your going to spend all day doing this or neglect spiritual advancement or even other meaningful things than it's a problem. Also some things you really don't want to surround yourself with as they put the wrong messages in your mind and may eventually even lead to thoughts beliefs and even actions eventually that are harmful to you and/or others one obvious example are the cases of some children and teens mostly that are highly suggestable and went and shot someone or multiple cause they thought it was cool and saw it in a game or something. It did happen a few times.

Old school huh? Try Doom 1993, if it can run on MS-DOS, it can run on your computer too. Although, I'd stay away from the resource-intensive mods like Eviternity and Shadows of the Nightmare Realm. The Doom modding community is alive and well, 28 years later and the game's pretty much free. Just look up a software called GZDoom, it's a source port that runs Doom on more modern machines. All you need at that point is a file called "Doom2.wad" and when playing mods, just drag the .wad file onto GZDoom.exe to open it up.

And just to give a glimpse on how well done the modding community has done to one of the most prolific first person shooters to ever come around in the early 1990s, here it is.

So, this is the reason all the sites getting a take down notice under DMCA to stop hosting all the Old Retro Games having 4bit & 8bit gfxs 32bit (Playstation1)

I already did that MS-DOS thing. It's so buggy and my monitor is not CRT so I couldn't catch that original feeling.

But I'll definitely take look at the mods you mentioned. I haven't tried any of them so my first time gonna be what you suggested :mrgreen: .

Thank you again, friend!

I absolutely understand that level of frustration, it feels like this whenever I worry about playing or listening to something that might have a Yehubor involved... I draw the line when they start trying to imprint names of the gods on their abominations. Examples : Castlevania and Diablo.

Heh, Castlevania, Don't even bother playing Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest.

[Seby]

I recently played "Yes, Your Grace!", it has a very original idea and you play as a medieval king dealing with foreign threats as well as with problems in your kingdom and your family. The setting is polytheistic and the enemy shows to worship only one god and hates witches. Towards midgame there are more pro Pagan revelations but the writing is very lacking and they practice blood sacrifice.

Lol I remember that episode, I also had played CV2 when i was very young. We would take turns based on who died last and I'd blame my brother whenever I'd die. "You ruined my concentration!! You did this!!! REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!". The fall-through blocks were such bullshit.

Dude, AVGN is the shit. I've watched his videos so many times I pretty much have his entire rants memorized.

I'm gonna play some football, just plain-ass normal, everyday, no question about it, no NFL, no year, not named after a player, not named after a COACH, not named after the referee's pet goldfish, no quarterback, dimeback, Nickelback, simple, ordinary, unembellished, unmistakable, crystal clear, as Frank as Frankenstein, as blunt as an atom BOMB, one compound word, it's MOTHERFUCKING GODDAMNED SONS-OF-BITCHIN' FUCK FUCK FUCKING FOOTBALL!!! URRRGHHH!!

....aaaaaand it's one of the worst games I've ever played in my life.

Yet the Nerd's youtube legacy began with just three simple words: "This game sucks."

Yup! I also liked his Board James series, the episode where bootsy guesses wrong on the dreamphone and starts swearing at it always sends my sides into orbit. Also because that's around the time subsequent episodes gradually become darker and more insane.

Bootsy Collins?

Honestly I've considered starting a gaming channel of my own.

I don't know whether to start a gaming channel like Cinemassacre, or a Car Review channel like Regular Car Reviews.

I've never really gotten into the Board James series, just AVGN. If only he didn't subject himself to making a whole bunch of sponsored content, and watering down his "You Know What's Bullshit?" series. Sponsored content will be the death of youtube one of these days, I swear...

 

[Bonedust]

Bootsy Collins?

No, there's a character named Bad Luck Bootsy. He usually has something truly disgusting to say. He also frequently injures himself and typically ruins the board games. Played by Bootsy Spankins P.I.

Honestly I've considered starting a gaming channel of my own.

I have considered this in the past but ultimately chose not to because the dedication required to pull it off is too much versus the reward nowadays, especially with the de-monetization Youtube has been doing and copyrights can get you into trouble for so much as letting the in-game music play through your channel. Don't let this demotivate you, it's still up to you as you can probably find ways around these issues, or maybe not adhere strictly to Youtube.

Personally, I would rather learn to draw logically, but i have motivational issues like "I'm not good enough right now" and "the relearning process is too boring for me to keep going" etc etc. It's because I've been doodling most of my life and I feel like most teachers that came my way in all stages of school regarding art were about the history and less about the actual teaching of the skill itself. Even my college teacher didn't really have a logical approach to it and it became largely impractical, i got a little better but i feel like it didn't mold my foundation properly and I would have kept going with necessary lessons missing. Because of that i have trust issues, even with something as simple and guided as https://drawabox.com. I also have a severe dislike for art books that teach me through 90% reading and absolutely little to no demonstration. I would rekindle this passion, this "fire", I just don't know how to right now.

I wanted to relate drawing to making a Youtube channel because both are potential avenues for passive income streams. I apologize if it felt like it started to go off-topic.

Filthy Frank was the golden age of youtube. I still have the lyrics to his Ramen song memorized, and I sing it every time I cook ramen. Just get that water to a boil, drop the ramen and flavoring in, and rap to the beat.

I hate wolfenstein. It's directly about killing Nazis. It's graphics are shit also.

But if you misinterpret the concept and story of DooM it's really cool. But you can't do the same on wolfenstein. BTW I only played DooM 1-2, not 3 and Eternal. So I don't know what's going on on the newer sequences. But the story is probably more complex and disrespectful enough to keep me off from playing.

There was this movie named Bloody Mallory (2002). It was about ''Satanic" Forces and the pope were allying and fighting against our God Abaddon (Apollyon) to save earth from (((slavery))). I watched the whole movie with great embarass and thinking how low the Yehuborim are.

I generally have played it just for shits and giggles of how low and dumb they go with it, as with Doom, the game play is alright but I do enjoy playing it at times but with knowing what I know now, I wouldn't ever put my money to it, so like I've read before, I'd just pirate it.
