>when games don't take violence and trauma seriously, they become joke subjects.

I fully agree. By giving players checkpoints (or even worse, no failstates) they fail to consider the repercussions of violence and taking damage. A "loss" in todays gaming climate equates into nothing more than a minor annoyance, a few seconds setback, if even that. By removing these handholding mechanics, players will be subtly encouraged to think about their every action, and play games more strategically, if only marginally, like they used to. This will lead to a better gaming climate all around, by forcibly removing normalfags, casual babbies, and shitty journalists who can't play Doom or dash jump.

He is 9999999999999999% right that games should teach players that their actions have consequences, but obviously not in the cucked manner he envisions.

I totally agree with you my fellow anonymous deep dark web forum user.

Video Games should allow everyone to feel like he's good, even if it means downgrading a bit the gameplay and making skillplay obsolete thanks to hundreds of empowering gadgets that will be available to everyone in order to defeat way more skilled opponents without much thinking.

It is 2017 and it's about time we remove this toxic and obnoxious agenda where video games only reward skilled players. Video games need to be accessible to all types of people and have a wide audience. We need to reward failure and not success!

You need to take a gamer or two out for a game of paintball and see if they don't understand the concepts of violence and damage. Also if you think that all checkpoints need to be removed, try playing any game with a 20-30 minute long level with a lives system and tell me you have any fun after losing all those lives and restarting that level. Certain games need checkpoints, it might be bad game design for some and fit right into the game for others.

An example of good checkpoints is Battleblock Theater (too bad the game gets old really quick).

I thought of myself as pretty well versed about indie games and yet I have NEVER heard of this guy or any of his games until this thread, which is impressive considering he started in 2012.

There's also a bunch of his "games" playable on Newgrounds, none of them are higher than 3 stars.

I just accidentally played his I'm a Little Teapot game and all I did in it was hold down the mouse button to fill up the screen with tea causing it to drown once it reached the tea pot with a face, all the while in the background a version of the song I'm a Little Teapot can be heard. It wasn't much of a game, it felt like something someone would make in WarioWare DIY for a joke.

And also this comment when he got to 80 games, which seems to explain why there isn't 100 games on that page.

Of the 80 games I’ve made and released, about 10 of them are hidden around the web as experiments, games I can’t attribute authorship to without spoiling the experience. 9 of them are non-digital games, and 3 of them are released class projects.

No, he's wrong.

http://www.buffalo.edu/news/releases/2014/06/037.html

Video games are escapism and a way of safely acting out aggression you would otherwise simply bottle up and never want to act upon in real life. Video games are literally an outlet for bad behavior, similar to punching a pillow or a heavy bag to safely channel your rage.

This ideal that media somehow causes or promotes violence is complete bullshit.

These are the same people that go back and forth on their arguments, shifting the goalposts to suit their agenda so they're never wrong.

>Music and TV are bad for kids because they see and hear all of this sex and violence and cannot act on it. The concept of passivity destroys the young mind by implanting these thoughts into their heads without giving them an outlet.

>Video games are bad for children because it allows them to emulate the violence they see, rewarding them for the violent acts they commit with prizes and sexual content.

The accredited studies all show that video games in moderation are good for you. Problem-solving, hand-eye coordination, reflexes, moral compass, social skills in multiplayer games. The problem comes in when you have people with certain mental illnesses or issues; if you're screwed up in the head, video games are more likely to screw you up further.

Of course, that doesn't matter. People looking for shit to complain about will fabricate bullshit out of thin air. It's an obsession.

>When games don't take violence and trauma seriously, they become joke subjects.

Oh yes, I completely agree. Violence and trauma shouldn't be joke subjects, they need to be fully represented as the horror it is. That's why I'm for better gore systems in videogames. I want enemies to call for medics and scream incoherently while the player blows their legs off, otherwise it's just making fun of people with PTSD. An enemy shouldn't just die when you shoot him a few times, he needs to be able to try to limp away and call for his friends (By their names, of course) who are paralyzed in abject horror because they want to help him, but they know even if they tried it won't make a difference, and their voices and AI should change accordingly. Children shouldn't be off limits too. As we know children are extremely important and protected in today's society, so I'd make sure to get the best voice actors possible and capture the best shrieks of terror and sadness possible. That's the only way we're going to teach society that violence is wrong.

Rape shouldn't be a joking matter too, I want to be able to stalk girls and identify places where only women live so later on I can go and do all sorts of sexually humiliating things to them all while the game is trying it's best to be immersive. I want strength and will checks to be able to fully make the victim submit and when I know she knows she isn't going to get away from me, a minigame where the player "pumps" her for a minute or two until climax, and then walks away while she lays there sobbing inconsolably. I will be able to rest easy knowing that the player can finally appreciate what rape looks and feels like, and that it shouldn't be joked about.

I completely agree. Whenever a player dies in a video game, they should be forced to start from the very beginning. It should be obvious, but people die when they're killed. Once my proposal passes, games journalism is we know it will be dead and reviews will be conducted by actual gamers, rather than ideological hacks who are too incompetent to find a job as freelance bloggers for BuzzFeed.

The latter was easily ignored and mocked, as your video proves. The former continued to thrive and is the scourge that we have today. I'd rather have the hardcore Christians if anything because not all of them are that bad and all of them can be easily ignored.

>>13979715

I'll agree, correlation is not causation. That being said, and this goes into your other response, why should any industry cater to or base decisions off of a small minority of people who are horridly fucked up in some manner?

Why should an online game make decisions for in-game voice chat based on a small group of griefers and toxic assholes who make up at most 1% of the player base? Why should a multiplayer arena shooter make moderation decisions based on the small group of faggots that scream at women and children? Why should a development studio remove swastikas and well-known Nazi symbols from a game that is intended to not only directly reference, but historically represent World War II Germany because someone will 'feel terror' over the depiction of Nazis in a game where you're killing Nazis?

Why should a game intended to depict scenes of terror, anguish, and death in the worst possible ways avoid concepts like rape, torture, and the complete disregard of any measure of respect for a person's 'protected' status? Tackling real-world issues head-on can be a very powerful storytelling mechanic, since the real-world consequences of sexual harassment and rape can turn many peoples' stomachs. If someone decided, for example, to develop a psychological thriller set in the modern day, using any or all of these concepts to tell a story exploring the horrors of cognitive dissonance can could truly terrify a player.

The same argument applies to things like the rape scenes in Game of Thrones, where feminists absolutely lost their shit over a woman being held down and forced, despite the fact that you couldn't see anything and the entire scene was depicted with the intent of making the audience feel bad for the victim. Objectively speaking, it becomes effective storytelling that paints the concept of rape in a bad light while furthering the narrative that the woman being assaulted is a victim. It bothers me, but it doesn't surprise in the slightest, that feminists used this as a chance to virtue-signal about how rape should not be depicted in any form of media, despite the fact that 95% of them say media should tackle hard-to-discuss real-world concepts and events in a way that brings it to light.

It's hypocrisy. They want to have power over a medium because they think it might have an effect on people, and it doesn't matter if their arguments are valid or not because once they get control over the medium, then they will shape it in their image and nothing will stop them from achieving that goal. If they have to lie a few times, if a few innocent people get caught up in their way, then it doesn't matter because they are correct and anyone that disagrees or falls into the categories they deem inappropriate or 'evil' are wrong and should be shamed and shunned until they either capitulate or no longer matter.

>>13979756

Well, sure. Christians did complain about it, but the really hardcore virtue-signalers, no matter what they believe in, will always cry about how some depiction of something in the media is normalizing this horrible thing that goes against their values.

I had a Christian friend who had to secretly read Harry Potter because his mother was adamant that the story normalized the concept of witchcraft, which went against her beliefs. He read the books and enjoyed them, but he never got the idea in his head to pick up a wand and try to cast spells.

Every group does it. With a very few exceptions, it's not the belief itself, but the group of people who are loudest about that belief and demand that action be taken to protect the women, children, or some protected group who are potentially affected by that form of media.

Plus, the Christians were also egged on by liberals pushing them by saying that these games needed to be toned down, or it would make kids start believing in witchcraft and acting out violent tendencies. It's the same bullshit narrative we've had, and fought against, for decades, way beyond Jack Thompson.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand SMB.exe. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of gender studies, most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Jame’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into your avatar's characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from feminist literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike SMB.exe truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Jame’s existential catchphrase “YOU'RE FUCKING A WHITE MALE!,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Solana’s political treatise the SCUM Manifesto. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as James Earl Cox III's genius wit unfolds itself on their image board. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a SMB.exe tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 published video game articles of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

Gaming was predominantly leftist in the past, which is where the focus on the rights sins comes from. We were young and it just so happens our often Christian-inspired authority figures didn't like us playing those violent video games. Video games were that spicy lure that introduced us to all kind of subversive leftist ideals hitherto unexplored.

Nobody cared about some random law that was never going to pass, it was the least of our problems. The left wasn't "pretending" to be cool, that's just what they were.

Oh, no, you misinterpret. I wasn't suggesting any sort of changes to how games are made. I couldn't care less. That was just idle commentary on how different types of gameplay attract different types of players, as a counter to the "violence in video games doesn't mean you'll be violent in real life" argument. As point of fact, people will push things as far as they can insofar as the law allows them to. If the world were free-reign anarchy, you bet your ass people who murder in video games would be out murdering in real life. But they can't do that; they'll go to jail. So all that is left is for them to be an asshole in the game and also in real life.

Also, feminists are cancer. They make things shit for both straight and gay men, so in my opinion they should be given the rope.

Well… If I want to play games with consequences, restricting me completely, instead of giving me a wide array of choices which ave several benefits and setbacks, it will get boring pretty quickly.

Also nobody will give a shit about the "consequences" in a game in the end. Because it is just a game. Payday's penalties for killing civilians doesn't stop me from doing so every single time.

Anyway, I think there should be games for letting of steam and games for a mind. Although playing permanently punishing games gets pretty tiresome.

It is with deep regret that I must inform you that unless you see both sets of genitals on the character, it is not futa.

The artist's characters are primarily shemales and twinks since they either appear as big titty muscle men with horse cocks or little bitch men with normal cocks, but never do either characters feature a vagina under the cock & balls.

I would postulate that those who like futa are, on a scale of 1 to kevin sorbo, less of a faggot than those who like shemales.

If we create a scale of gay to straight starting at bara and ending at ara, we can plot out what is between the two extremes:

bara - cuntboy - trap - shemale - futa - tomboy - ara

cuntboy being further up on the gay scale than trap because the overall appearance is more masculine than feminine despite having a vagina, where trap focuses more on a feminine appearance in spite of the dick, so futa must thereby be more straight by virtue of a focus on feminine appearance plus the vagina in spite of the addition of a dick and/or balls.

Or maybe americans should learn to distinguish fact from fiction and focus on real issues, like fighting the very real violent patriarchal rape cultures dominating the streets instead of fighting imaginary patriarchal rape culture controlling a computer screen.

Hol' up, hasn't "your actions have consequences" been a sales pitch for most RPGs in the last few years, only to usually under-deliver on that promise since doing shit in a non-linear fashion requires more work and resources?

What is he even proposing to do? Do some undertale shit about keeping the consequences even on later playthroughs? So that the NPC you killed in playthrough 1 withh still be dead on playthrough 2? Does the faggot even realise how much extra work that would take for anything of larger scale? Does he realise you could still just reinstall the game fresh anyway?

Or does he actually just mean that every videogame should have an unkillable, preachy faggot telling you over and over that killing is bad and that you should respect women more?

>Futa

>Less gay than traps

A trap can be defined by the addition of feminine elements to a masculine form, and it is those feminine elements that are the primary draw, while futa is the addition of a masculine element to a feminine form. The whole appeal of futa is the inclusion of the masculine aspects, otherwise it would just be a simple woman. While a trap may be more masculine than feminine, the fact that the appeal comes from the feminine elements means it is less "gay" than futa.

It's like they don't enjoy the idea of people being able to escape from reality for a bit and enjoy themselves. They want you to suck cold hard reality 24 hours a day, in a constant state of fear and depression.

What about the thread title? He’s not wrong about that. Whether it’s through story or not, games should have some sort of consequence, or system to dish out consequences for your actions. In linear games, you have the narrative to show players consequences for many characters’ actions, in open world games you typically have a police-crime system, and in multiplayer games you have the vote/auto kick-ban system. They’re very small things, but they teach actions have consequence. I honestly don’t know where I’m going with this, but the title by itself isn’t wrong, in my opinion.

He should probably play good games if he wants actual depictions of action and consequence in story. Overrated pseudo-rolepalying game trash always has static worlds with few meaningful acts to perform or decide on.

Choose one, asshole. The ironic part is that if his advice is taken to heart, it makes for a better game (real consequences), but he's expressing it for Marxist reasons. His idea of "consequences" might be very ham-handed however.

Futa-fags are a bunch of hypocrites, the equivalent of the bisexuals: "I don't like benis, sure I gladly suck cocks and take it in the ass but I'm not gay, lol".

Can confirm he's 100% correct. It started out with chopping off limbs in Jedi academe, then nading alien scum in half life, finally ending my life as a gamer by mass murdering folks in Hatred. I no long claim to be a gamer, but a lifer. I don't play games but play life. The NPC called FBI and CIA call me the second coming of Hitler. I am wanted in 64 states of Nu-North America(NNA), and 128 member countries of the European United Empire(EUE). /s

Old games already taught people their actions have consequences. Run out of lives by playing like an idiot? Start the fuck over entirely, wasting all that previous gameplay. Make a shitty decision in a hundreds of hours long RPG and didn't save recently? You need to decide between losing hours of progress or continuing the game with your mistake. Keep dropping loads of money into an arcade machine and you die in the same spot repeatedly? Forced to use critical thinking to git gud, or stop playing because you don't have any more money.

Modern walking sims and autosave systems are the things teaching people the opposite, that any mistake can instantly be undone at zero cost, or that no mistakes can be committed in the first place. Kids today think they can pay their way out of any problem with microtransactions or revert to an autosave 90 seconds ago, and this attitude bleeds into their life. It's not the subject matter of the games teaching people these things, it's the lack of challenge.

Almost 200 replies and no one has read the article. How do I know?

The guy had his ASCII game banned on steam because it was marked as porn.

He's complaining that this happened because games are not taken seriously as an artform.

An actual quote:

>"This situation brings backs memories of the eternal “Do games cause violence” question, a question we continue to answer with “no, they do not.” "

I can't even be mad. I am almost impressed.

How do you even have a post like this:

>>13968713

And yet simultaneously no one knows what the article is even about?

Only on 8chan is such a thing possible.

And why are you taking him seriously? He is yet a another "muh games are art" faggot. If anything his article only restates what we already know: that your average normalfag consumer is dumb as a sack of bricks and that steam is a censor-happy pile of shit that isn't even consistent with what it decides to censor.
