you are fucking retarded if you think some clan would consider this acceptable. First of all polygyny is by far more common compared to polyandry to the point that it is a footnote. Furthermore when it does happen they are not some random males. They are usually a group of brothers sharing a wife so at the very least the child is some nephew or niece.

I mean it makes sense even if you think about it from a biological perspective. A man having 2 wives is going to effectively double his reproductive output. while a woman's is not going to change notably at all with 2 husbands.

>>15572915

>A man having 2 wives is going to effectively double his reproductive output. while a woman's is not going to change notably at all with 2 husbands.

This is exactly why polygyny should be legal, while polyandry should be an executable offense.

>not only did women take part in the war effort, but there are even a few local examples. Leona Golbinec — later Leona Zimmer after she married — was a Rossford native who served as a WASP (Women’s Airforce Service Pilot), a fleet of about 1,000 certified pilots pulled from more than 25,000 applicants. Zimmer received a Congressional Gold Medal in 2010.

>Evangelene “Van” Miller of Norwalk, Ohio, was an officer in the Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps. Miller was commander of the corps’ detachment to the 9th Air Division in Europe during the Battle of the Bulge, for which she was awarded a Bronze Star.

WASP was logistics-only, no idea about WAAC. How many of them have seen combat? Is the number higher than I have fingers?

>If this minority of gamers were truly concerned about the preservation of historical accuracy, then you think they would have been upset about 2017’s Call of Duty: WWII, which allowed players to open digital loot boxes on the shores of Normandy.

You stupid dumb fuck, its about it being on (((Steam))). The eroge community will be ruined and eroded by normalfags and the market will centralize around a single storefront over which no customer has any real control

If you can't play Rance without needing it on your centralized DRM platform and giving Valve money for the privilege of having it on your list you need to fucking kill yourself, you're a goddamn embarrassment and a failure

>>15573035

Sorry anon but I’m with

There was a time I might have agreed with you but I’ve watched this cycle happen too many times. By letting the normalfags in sure you get your Rance but stop and think about the degenerate tastes of a normalfag.

I’ll you give a hint it’s incest and cuckolding for miles look into into the western eroge forum it’s all you’ll see. Prettty soon that’s all steam will sell, then the moral outrage police will bitch and moan and soon we’ll have jackshit.

>having fun

You need Steam to have fun?

If you care about supporting the developers, buy it from their actual website. If you care about just playing the game, just pirate it. Steam is a cancerous middleman that offers literally nothing except being able to launch the game from a shitty DRM client.

People were having fun with Rance before it was ever on Steam. As it is right now, Steam has far too much power because of willing retards like you. You will have no right to complain in the future once Valve stops being a benevolent monopoly/dictatorship and you've created a google/amazon/facebook/twitter situation with a storefront

>>15573133

is that even fake? top fucking keke

>>15573145

You have no problem with centralizing more shit on Steam? After the Valve leaks that have revealed how incredibly rotten and cancerous the company is? You have no problem giving that company more power. After Steam already threatened so many games with the threat of censorship and deplatforming you think it's a good idea to centralize even more. To undercut alternate markets that already promote DRM-free games and no censoring and ALREADY sells these kinds of games.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>15572920

I will do neither because

A. You are not the authority of my life

B. You are too much of a puritan that would rather get mad at DRM than to be happy that Publishers have a new revenue stream to get more money.

> As it is right now, Steam has far too much power because of willing retards like you.

Because the market has spoken. Many people have tried their hand at a storefront and failed. Its not my fault because i did not buy there, it was just because they had nothing to get people like me to switch over. This is like the whole Piracy argument of "How dare you pirate games or go onto illegal streaming sites" well when legal sites make a better competitor then people will switch. But bitching and whining about how people's buying choices are bad and cause the issues will never bring anyone to your side. Its not any different than the SJW's and their entire schpiel that everything is racist, xenophobic, ist, ism etc when things do not go their way. Its because what they make does not sell and its not attractive to the audience they want and then complaining when a competitor is doing better they just say its racist etc because they are losing instead of doing something about it.

>>15573151

No because as long as the service works as intended that is all that matters to me. No company is ever going to be perfect and have this mystical unicorn record of zero problems you speak of. All companies will have drama and there will always be disgruntled employees that want to get back at their company for stupid shit they did.

>To undercut alternate markets that already promote DRM-free games and no censoring and ALREADY sells these kinds of games.

>What the fuck is wrong with you?

<How dare people buy from a platform and mention things that happen to ANY company and poopoo on them for making a different choice than me.

There is no better storefront. I will buy what i want to and unless there is better i will keep buying from Steam.

>>15573200

>You shouldn't do X things because it's bad for everyone in the long run

You have the mental capacity of a young child. Steam is objectively not a good storefront as they keep pushing and supporting shit that hurts the users. Not that words can make you understand that, being the absolute retard that you are.

Your opinion bro, mine is that they upgraded the storefront, the chat module and are actually giving a fuck about it to update it to make it viable platform for the next 10 years.

>Not that words can make you understand that, being the absolute retard that you are.

In other words because i do not agree with you i am the retard? Because i actually have legitimate reasons to be on the platform you try to shame me in hopes that i will change my mind. How is this any different from your opposition anon?

>>15573200

>new revenue stream

You retard, this revenue stream is the equivalent of putting all your eggs into one basket

Once Steam starts censoring again or fucking over a developer, they have no recourse because of Steam's overwhelming power in the market. You can't see past your own nose here.

>Because the market has spoken. Many people have tried their hand at a storefront and failed.

What are you talking about? The eroge market still has places that grew alternatively. Steam entering this market has tainted it and will now ruin it. This is like saying the market has spoken when Wal-Mart consumes and crushes another business, and if you shop there after you learn about this instead of using alternatives yes its your fucking fault

Steam has these developers by the balls once they become the primary revenue stream. If anything MangaGamer should hold Rance on their platform and keep it exclusive to them so they have a way to stay alive once Steam cannibalizes everything.

Do you use Google? Facebook? Do you think the centralization of the internet is a good thing? How the vast majority of people use the same few rotation of sites? Do you know how it used to be? How free everything was before it became an incestuous, horrible, censorious oligopoly? Go use them then, why are you even here if you don't care that the internet's been fucked?

Steam might have grown from the beginning organically, but by now its coasting off memes (which I think they had a had in; all that GabeN worship couldn't have been normal) and marketing and their sheer size allowing for growth more than anything.

There are still alternative storefronts and existing people who are still worth supporting but you don't care and won't care once they die. You might not even care once Steam fucks you over yet again. I just wonder what will happen once Steam goes too far and you get fucked hard and have nowhere else to go.

>>15573226

How did this get so many votes? Holy shit.

>>15573255

you can vote for multiple options.

>>15573200

When did I ever say the other storefronts weren't sinless or without their mistakes? It is an objective fact that Steam and Valve have done far worse things and far worse damage to the PC market than anything Jast/nutaku/mangagamer/playism/gamejolt/itch io/etc could ever hope to do. This isn't arguing about which storefront is perfect or the best, it's about which one is worse and that enabling those storefronts that only contributes to the present cancer. Enabling, lazy retards like you are exactly why Steam was allowed to become so terrible and powerful.

>There is no better storefront

Fuck you. This was started over the mention of porn games on Steam. Like it was already mentioned there are already dedicated markets for those products that promote DRM-free releases, which Steam does not, and have far greater incentive to avoid censorship because of their niche status, something Steam does not need to worry about. Other present and existing market places are already superior in supporting porn games than Steam. Steam is what it is today because of moronic Valvedrones like you. Sure Steam backed out of censoring games this time, but they did try to censor games. If they were willing to try once they'll try again and Gabe won't around for ever. Do I need to remind you Gaben was literally the only person with the authority to allow Hatred back on Steam after is was initially kicked out?

Fuck you for supporting this cancer.

>>15573254

>chinks getting bullied

Always good news to me, those fags are responsible for so much bullshit that their low quality bullshit should be considered only as an option for the poorest of poorfags who don't know any better.

>>15573254

In fact we had an actual example of this very fucking thing playing out during the waifupocalypse and when Steam was developing these filters and see how much people got fucked from it; Dharker Studios was one example, they even stated how they might go out of business (or something along those lines; either way they lost very much because of that) because of what Steam did to them.

They got lucky, but I'm willing to bet that what happened with the waifupocalypse will happen again and worse as time goes on and Valve becomes shittier

>>15573271

>They got lucky, but I'm willing to bet that what happened with the waifupocalypse will happen again and worse as time goes on and Valve becomes shittier

Because of shit like that, I've come to think that any developer who doesn't host their games on another platform, just in case as back-up, doesn't deserve to receive any attention. Now, if only we could do the same thing with idiots who still host themselves exclusively on YouTube, even after it's come that Google doesn't give a damn about anyone or anything except their bottom dollar.

That's just speculation anon

Anything can happen but right now and even a few years from now. Maybe even 8 i do not have to even worry about what COULD happen. I know that its the better storefront and i get the best deals.at least in my opinion.

>What are you talking about? The eroge market still has places that grew alternatively

JAST tried to open their own, Nataku tried it, and a few others have tried to go after Steam but have failed. Which is why Steam is capitalizing off of it and getting money for allowing the 18+.

>Steam entering this market has tainted it and will now ruin it. This is like saying the market has spoken when Wal-Mart consumes and crushes another business, and if you shop there after you learn about this instead of using alternatives yes its your fucking fault

With Walmart there are better competitors, there is places like Whole Foods, Costco and Sams Club, fuck even Amazon gives a run for it's money. With eroge its basically not a huge market like AAA games or anything of that sort. It sells but not as much as you think it does. It never sells into the millions.

>Steam has these developers by the balls once they become the primary revenue stream. If anything MangaGamer should hold Rance on their platform and keep it exclusive to them so they have a way to stay alive once Steam cannibalizes everything.

You do not know business as much as you think you do. Mangagamer is in it to make money, Steam helps them make money even if they lose a small amount from it.

>? Do you think the centralization of the internet is a good thing? How the vast majority of people use the same few rotation of sites? Do you know how it used to be? How free everything was before it became an incestuous, horrible, censorious oligopoly? Go use them then, why are you even here if you don't care that the internet's been fucked?

Do you not know the market changes all the time? How you had to buy from many places? And how much less there was back then? Has steamed lobbied for internet censorship?.

>There are still alternative storefronts and existing people who are still worth supporting but you don't care and won't care once they die.

Anon its because THEY SUCK. They are terrible, they are not good alternatives and they do nothing for me. Are you really trying to tell me i should buy out of pity? Or because they are the BETTER service.

>You might not even care once Steam fucks you over yet again. I just wonder what will happen once Steam goes too far and you get fucked hard and have nowhere else to go.

You are just trying to use shaming language now. And trying to use false dichotomies to make up how you actually stand for something, when you just want mediocrity and no one to use a platform you do not like. Its not your preference, you can use it but i will not. Unless a better service comes along i will join it.

>It is an objective fact that Steam and Valve have done far worse things and far worse damage to the PC market than anything Jast/nutaku/mangagamer/playism/gamejolt/itch io/etc

Not true if you can get everything in one place or almost everything in one single place then thats better than registering 10 or even 7 accounts to get the same kind of games and to "support the industry". Until a non-DRM storefront happens to be better than Steam to me i will not use it. Its simple i am not going to keep registering accounts and more accounts to get non-DRM games.

> Steam is what it is today because of moronic Valvedrones like you.

Because its the better service anon.

>, but they did try to censor games. If they were willing to try once they'll try again and Gabe won't around for ever.

Well when the time comes we will see. Trying to predict the future and actually seeing what the future holds is two different concepts. You are relying on the fact it will crash and burn.who knows maybe it will be stable maybe it may not. Its too far out there for anyone to guess.

Agree and I'm not much of a porn/hentai person. My main worried is when Gaben dies? Who will take over and will that normalfag reverse everything and ban the "problematic" games, get rid of the "Anything goes, except trolling and extreme asset flips." There's GOG, but it's a bit small to take up ALL the hentai/porn/"problematic" games (And there's one or two CD Projeckt Red that are SJWs, who are handling the Twitter and a few of CDPR's social platforms).

You dumb fuck, what isn't speculation is Steam's monopoly, which isn't a good thing, and this speculation is based on past behavior, which is a very strong predictor of future behavior. There's a reason criminal records are used for this sort of thing.

Monopolies aren't a good fucking thing, how can you not realize this?

No? They're still alive and going.

Wal-Mart owns sam's club you uninformed fuck. Whole Foods and Costco managing to exist doesn't mean much. It just means Wal-Mart hasn't completely cannibalized the United States market yet, its only mostly accomplished that. Amazon is an indirect competitor to them and Wal-Mart never needed to compete with them, only now are they actually finally bothering.

>With eroge its basically not a huge market like AAA games or anything of that sort. It sells but not as much as you think it does. It never sells into the millions.

Yes, its a niche market, which means its easier for people, especially people from different audiences that aren't the core to fuck it up.

>You do not know business as much as you think you do. Mangagamer is in it to make money, Steam helps them make money even if they lose a small amount from it.

I'm sure they appreciated when their games were censored from Steam, right? Dumbass. They won't ignore steam obviously, as its now too big of a stream of revenue to ignore but its a problem.

>Do you not know the market changes all the time? How you had to buy from many places?

Oh truly a tragedy. I hated that local game stores existed. Thank god I can go to Gamestop for all my fucking game needs. Fuck off.

>non its because THEY SUCK. They are terrible, they are not good alternatives and they do nothing for me. Are you really trying to tell me i should buy out of pity? Or because they are the BETTER service.

No they aren't, its because you are attached to Steam, presumably because of sunken costs fallacy or because you're attached with their brand or something else. These other companies offer better shit, such as DRM-free copies (sometimes Steam keys even being included with purchases anyways), goodies, reward/points systems, full selection of a developer's games, every game uncensored (and usually the developers are staunchly against censorship) even physical copies. They have plenty to offer, you just value Steam so much that you don't care about any of these.

>Well when the time comes we will see. Trying to predict the future and actually seeing what the future holds is two different concepts. You are relying on the fact it will crash and burn.who knows maybe it will be stable maybe it may not. Its too far out there for anyone to guess.

if you don't know the future you shouldn't take the option that will lead to greater disaster when shit hits the fan. How is this not common sense to you?

>Do something about it you fucking whiner. All you do is whine whine whine, shame shame shame. Call everyone cancer that does not 100% support what you do.

You dumbass, I am. I buy from these alternatives and shill them to my friends. One of my friends who greatly enjoys VNs doesn't buy from Steam anymore, but from MangaGamer and the like, and I've advised others to buy directly from MangaGamer when I can

>>15573291

>Do something about it you fucking whiner. All you do is whine whine whine, shame shame shame. Call everyone cancer that does not 100% support what you do.

Fuck off you faggot. Unlike you I actually do something about it instead of remaining apatheic with the current state. Registering accounts is a minor fucking annoyance compared to allowing Steam anymore power and control. And my problem isn't with anyone that uses Steam, it's with useless faggots like you that proudly proclaim they'll continue to eat shit and act smug about it. I'm not calling you cancer because you don't exactly believe everything I do, I'm calling you cancer for your pathetic attitude and lack of will to do something against the present situation. The fact that you state without a hint of fucking irony that you will gladly buy porn games from Steam, that you'll gladly support Steam gobbling up yet another market is fucking disgusting. I'd also like you address the points raised in >>15573271 and >>15573281 . Steam already has acapability to ruin companies and you have the fucking gall to question that Steam won't become worse? Did the Steam leaks go over your head? https://archive.fo/EM3Is

Speaking of which, when a Walmart/Sam's Club store closes, they still pay the lease the for the land years on end. They don't give it up, ever. There was this one Sam's Club store a few miles South of my home that closed several years back, and it's still a completely empty building. And, the reason they do that is to drive out the competition .

Then create a better service or a better competitor. Its not up to me to join it because a potential monopoly is happening, its up to someone to create a service that is better and can get people like me OFF the platform. I keep saying this but you keep ignoring it.

>Whole Foods and Costco managing to exist doesn't mean much. It just means Wal-Mart hasn't completely cannibalized the United States market yet, its only mostly accomplished that. Amazon is an indirect competitor to them and Wal-Mart never needed to compete with them, only now are they actually finally bothering.

My point still stands there are competitors out there and people buy them because they think they offer a better service which is MAKING Amazon and Walmart actually give a fuck for once than do nothing. Complaining about something being bad is one thing, but creating a better competitor instead of saying people are cancer and trying to use worry and doubt is another. I am open to switching over when something better is out. As will other people. Right now there is nothing out there that competes against Steam because they are making the moves to keep people on the platform.

>I'm sure they appreciated when their games were censored from Steam, right? Dumbass. They won't ignore steam obviously, as its now too big of a stream of revenue to ignore but its a problem.

Strawman leading into a ad hominem. Nice one.

>Oh truly a tragedy. I hated that local game stores existed. Thank god I can go to Gamestop for all my fucking game needs. Fuck off.

Go ahead and cry more faggot. Go to a used game store for once in your local area i am sure there are a few you can get games from.

>No they aren't, its because you are attached to Steam, presumably because of sunken costs fallacy or because you're attached with their brand or something else.

No anon it could not be that GASP they offer Steam sales that cut everyones ass, they are having 18+ games, and they have support for Linux and try to support multiple controllers on their program right anon? Its just because i am a sunken cost fallacy type lol. Get out with that.

>if you don't know the future you shouldn't take the option that will lead to greater disaster when shit hits the fan. How is this not common sense to you?

This is the glass is half full and half empty thing. It depends on how you see it.

>You dumbass, I am. I buy from these alternatives and shill them to my friends. One of my friends who greatly enjoys VNs doesn't buy from Steam anymore, but from MangaGamer and the like, and I've advised others to buy directly from MangaGamer when I can

Well good if they want to do that go ahead. I buy physicals when MG does sell them. I do what i can to support companies.

>>15573340

>Registering accounts is a minor fucking annoyance compared to allowing Steam anymore power and control.

That is your viewpoint not my own. I support what is the better service anon.

>And my problem isn't with anyone that uses Steam,

That's a lie because almost everyone tries to doggy pile ontop when someone says "I am going to buy Rance on steam" and they get all upset and furious over it. People can choose their platforms and i am alright with people trying to convince another to use a different platform when a good alternative comes especially with Bitchute over Youtube, or Gab.Ai over Twitter. But like i said shaming people is not going to work and neither.

>The fact that you state without a hint of fucking irony that you will gladly buy porn games from Steam, that you'll gladly support Steam gobbling up yet another market is fucking disgusting.

I buy from the better service that is it. I would buy porn games on Steam and i support devs making an extra revenue stream. If better things come along i would support it more than Steam, there just is not currently. Competitors are good things but nothing is doing a good job against Steam right now.

>Steam already has acapability to ruin companies and you have the fucking gall to question that Steam won't become worse? Did the Steam leaks go over your head?

No because by the end of the day i have accepted companies are immoral in what they do and all they need to do is not censor and try to pretend to play god with the market in shaping people's viewpoints. Steam does neither and decided to go Free-market i know they could change but it remains to be seen that they will go back after being pressured to be an uncensored platform.

Perfect sphere, where the the water or mucus on the outside would theoretically affect the spin, or center of gravity. So as opposed to being able to be tracked in 2D only, it needs to be tracked in 3D.

X23 is not a sphere. Not-Colossus does not give not-Wolverine a spin where the "spit" could affect it. And the amount of mucus needed to affect the mass is definitely not what is shown, or the speed would need to be amped up quite a bit.

I am more pissed off about the robot, or the thinking that sentinels only have tracking systems written by high schoolers.

You know something funny. Both the Avengers and hero’s association are dysfunctional organizations with heroes that hate each other but at least the heroes association don’t pretend they’re friends and backstab and murder “their friends”.

At the end of the day I know the heroes association are willing to put aside their differences to save lives. Compare and contrast the avengers who have started two civil wars and just teamed up to murder the hulk. Yes you heard me straight up murdered him all the while sucking each other off talking about they were Bruce’s friends before giving his undead corpse to be tortured by the government.

>>15573414

>Its not up to me to join it because a potential monopoly is happening

It is if you care about the market at all. As I said you won't have any right to complain when you get fucked over thanks to it. There are better services, many people just flat-out aren't aware of them thanks to Steam's takeover of the market. They don't have the power, the money, the influence to get the word out, even if their services, products, policies and people are better.

>My point still stands there are competitors out there and people buy them because they think they offer a better service which is MAKING Amazon and Walmart actually give a fuck for once than do nothing.

What are you? Competitors existing doesn't mean an effective monopoly doesn't exist. True monopolies are rare, but the market was very different before Walmart's takeover of the US and after and anyone with a brain realizes this and is aware of it

>Complaining about something being bad is one thing, but creating a better competitor instead of saying people are cancer and trying to use worry and doubt is another.

You dumb fuck there are competitors that offer advantages. You just refuse to leave Steam.

>Right now there is nothing out there that competes against Steam because they are making the moves to keep people on the platform.

Yes, ignore the alternatives and say this.

>Go ahead and cry more faggot. Go to a used game store for once in your local area i am sure there are a few you can get games from.

You dumb fuck, Gamestop killed almost all of them, that was the point I was making you dumbass. There's basically none around for many, many miles.

>Strawman leading into a ad hominem. Nice one.

What the fuck are you talking about? There is nothing in there constituting an ad hominem besides you being a dumbass. Their games were censored, and Steam isn't going to be ignored because its too big now. Where's the ad hominem? Where's the strawman? Stop spouting buzzwords and get a real argument.

>>15573414

>sales

No other places offer sales now? Steam sales just got memed hard since 2011-2013. Since 2014 their sales have been increasingly shit. If anything the sales of other places are increasing.

>they have support for Linux and try to support multiple controllers on their program right anon

Did you read the link in the OP? The guy who made the push for linux and the reason you can thank anythign linux-related to Valve at all and the way he was treated and the way he views Valve now? You're grossly uninformed.

Wine-wrapping games is also barely a form of support, in my opinion.

>This is the glass is half full and half empty thing. It depends on how you see it.

No, this isn't. A monopoly is never a good thing, especially when compared to a more competitive, more decentralized market. Having more options should be viewed as a good thing

>Well good if they want to do that go ahead. I buy physicals when MG does sell them. I do what i can to support companies.

Considering how hard of a raging erection you have for Steam, I find this very hard to believe.

>>15573418

It's not a lie. I said very clearly I wasn't particularly upset over people using Steam, it was people willingly allowing Steam to take over the eroge market that I have a problem with, which is what the statement, "I can't wait to buy Rance from Steam" implies.

>all they need to do is not censor and try to pretend to play god with the market in shaping people's viewpoints

Steam/Valve already commits both of these things. Again the Steam leak showed that Valve manipulated news/reporting sites to give them a favorable coverage. And they have already shown they are capable of censoring games. It'll only get worse too. Gaben was the only person in Valve with the authority to allow Hatred back on Steam when it was initially banned from it. What will happen when he's gone from the company? The company has been rotting for a long time now, only unlike the alternatives it can afford to fuck up massively because of how much marketplace it has control over. Did you even read the Steam leaks?

>Go ahead and cry more faggot. Go to a used game store for once in your local area i am sure there are a few you can get games from.

There's no local game shops for 60-70 miles from where I am.

>>15573484

I've read Hush, almost everything Red Hood related before Flashpoint, Grant Morrison's Batman and Robin, Gotham By Gaslight, Lil Gotham, New 52 Batman up to Batman Zero Year, Battle for the Cowl, White Knight, Dark Prince Charming, Dark Nights Metal, and a bunch of other one off Batman stories with alternate versions of the character. Also New 52 Nightwing. This was all years ago so I don't exactly remember everything I read back then.

>>15573475

Nope it’s a charity based organization started by a billionaire that’s become increasingly corrupt. But yes it is a bureaucratic registry nightmare.

Because I know that my non-hentai/non-porn games that I wishlisted will be next in the chopping block by some SJWs, who hate certain games and companies.

>better service

Its only "better'' to you. To a lot of people Steam is literally all they have known. The reason they're the leaders now is because

A: they were one of the first ones in the digital storefront market and had forever to grow

C: people did their marketing for them over time and allowed them to grow to this size

D: very powerful memes

There is no real positive advantage to using Steam over another platform outside of the "convenience" of using their DRM client (That's also a remarkably shitty one, in my opinion). They just have so much market penetration and have hooked in so many people that its difficult for new people to grow. Not to mention people are lazy and don't bother seeking alternatives for themselves once they find something they like and get attached to it, even when it shits all over them and shows signs of nothing but getting worse.

Do I need to remind you of the other shit Valve has done even outside of Steam to remind you how cancerous of a company they are? Are you forgetting they pioneered the worst kind of microtransaction in the video game market? The lootcrate and key type?

>free market

do you know what happens when competition falls in a market? quality of products fall.

>But like i said shaming people is not going to work and neither.

You're being shamed because you should know better if you've been on this site for any amount of time. You just outright deserve it in my opinion. At this point I'm not trying to convince you since I know that's a fruitless endeavor from what I can see. I'm just trying to prove you wrong and bully you because I despise people like you. If I cared about convincing people on other platforms and places, I'm generally more pleasant to them obviously but if you're cancer after being here through all the threads about Steam censoring loli VNs and so much other shit in the past and so on… you don't get any excuse from me.

>That's a lie because almost everyone tries to doggy pile ontop when someone says "I am going to buy Rance on steam" and they get all upset and furious over it

You also can't read that anon's post and you respond to something else entirely. You are a loud, proud Valvedrone.. If you were some shameful, silent faggot who quietly buys porn games on steam and wanked yourself nobody would give a shit, instead you're literally a walking advertisement for cancer and will never admit it outright even when you do it in this thread

>I use Steam because they're the best

>Why does everyone hate me for being proud of using Steam?

>all these alternatives suck (but there's nothing wrong with Steam, they're the best!)

They don't have the power, the money, the influence to get the word out, even if their services, products, policies and people are better.

I will not complain when i get fucked over because i know what to expect from it if i do. Any platform can be derailed instantly and be driven to the ground.

>What are you? Competitors existing doesn't mean an effective monopoly doesn't exist. True monopolies are rare, but the market was very different before Walmart's takeover of the US and after and anyone with a brain realizes this and is aware of it

I did not say that. I was saying that because good competitors exist it will push the monopolies to provide better service or be dominated by the competitors. Steam has no true or good competitors that offer something close to or better than what they do. Except maybe GOG but thats a long shot still.

>You dumb fuck there are competitors that offer advantages. You just refuse to leave Steam.

Thats your opinion i do not believe they do.

>Yes, ignore the alternatives and say this.

What do the alternatives have that Steam does not? Do they have all the games in one place? Do they have better chat services? Can i use better controller support? Is there any great first party games on the platform? A store to trade goods etc.

>You dumb fuck, Gamestop killed almost all of them, that was the point I was making you dumbass. There's basically none around for many, many miles.

Not in my area there are used game stores that are local business's you just refuse to use a GPS search or anything in your area to bring it up.

>No other places offer sales now? Steam sales just got memed hard since 2011-2013. Since 2014 their sales have been increasingly shit. If anything the sales of other places are increasing.

They do not offer better than Steam. Also they are bringing back Flash Sales which does indicate they are seeing the error of their ways.

>Did you read the link in the OP? The guy who made the push for linux and the reason you can thank anythign linux-related to Valve at all and the way he was treated and the way he views Valve now? You're grossly uninformed.

Yes and they support it with Proton. They have not indicated they are abandoning it. And i am not going to stop buying because the employee has some bad blood towards them. Two sides to every story as they say.

>No, this isn't. A monopoly is never a good thing, especially when compared to a more competitive, more decentralized market. Having more options should be viewed as a good thing

You say that it is becoming a monopoly and that nothing can stop them is false. There will rise competitors and i am optimistic Steam will have to perform better eventually.

>Considering how hard of a raging erection you have for Steam, I find this very hard to believe.

Believe what you want. I am not here to force my beliefs on you like you are doing to me.

>>15573490

> What will happen when he's gone from the company? The company has been rotting for a long time now, only unlike the alternatives it can afford to fuck up massively because of how much marketplace it has control over. Did you even read the Steam leaks?

I know about them but like i said is there any competitors that are going to rise up and take advantage of this news? Or is it going to be more people complaining because people use the platform when there is nothing to get them off or try to. You see that is the issue i am getting at. Its similar to the problem all around us. Its not that we are dumb consumers, its that no one is being daring to offer an alternative that can kick ass or raise funds through VC. We could have Decentralized registrar's, cloudflare, and even a Gaming platform that can kick Steams ass because they can not censor Hentai games unless its stolen art obviously. But its because the lack of people even attempting to do so or are afraid of these huge giants coming after them. There is money to be made but until people are no longer afraid and just do it. We will be stuck with this.

>>15573418

>I would buy porn games on Steam and i support devs making an extra revenue stream.

You do know that every storefront takes 30% off the top and leaves the developer with 70% of the profits, meanwhile buying direct gives the developer 100% of the profits. So, where's your morals on that?

>No because by the end of the day i have accepted companies are immoral in what they do and all they need to do is not censor and try to pretend to play god with the market in shaping people's viewpoints.

And, just like that, you confirmed that you're a defeatist. There is no need to continue the conversation with you any further. Fuck off!

>>15573508

>Wish we get someone that understands gaming culture and doesn't buckle down to sjws when Gaben does go.

That's a slippery slope, my friend. Remember horseshoe theory.

>>15573545

>You do know that every storefront takes 30% off the top and leaves the developer with 70% of the profits, meanwhile buying direct gives the developer 100% of the profits. So, where's your morals on that?

Yes Steam needs money in order to host games and servers on its platform and to make profits to pay employees wowie. That's crazy isent it? Also Steam users do not buy off platform and will buy on their own. Also it's funny you criticize steam for this when most companies including Amazon do the same exact thing. Where is your Morals? Or is it only when it's convenient for you?

>There is no need to continue the conversation with you any further. Fuck off!

You know running away and then claiming victory then telling them to fuck off really is doing nothing but showing how much of a teenager you are.

>>15573545

Okay, I'll worry when that actually happens, since Gaben is still alive and well.

>>15573538

>I will not complain when i get fucked over because i know what to expect from it if i do. Any platform can be derailed instantly and be driven to the ground.

So you'll just bend your ass to get fucked over instead.

>I did not say that. I was saying that because good competitors exist it will push the monopolies to provide better service or be dominated by the competitors. Steam has no true or good competitors that offer something close to or better than what they do.

Do you know what monopolies do to begin with? They choke out, kill, or assimilate the vast majority of competition. Once its reached that point its very hard for new competitors to survive, let alone thrive.

>Thats your opinion i do not believe they do.

Your opinion and priorities are warped and trivial. If all companies are immoral or cancer to you you should be pirating then anyways

>what alternatives? Are they centralized like Steam

You view centralization as a good thing because of convenience to you, you're already too far gone. Let's just hope a one-world-government never happens when people like you constitute the population

>store to trade goods

You mean trading cards and cosmetic microtransactions (that's also been abused so much its unbelievable)

>better chat services

Steam's chat service is shit. Back when i used it it cut out quite frequently and now I heard they turned it into discord-lite

>controller support

I wouldn't know about this one but I've never had a problem with GoG for mine.

>great first party games

AHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHA

Tell me more about artifact and how all Valve's writers left, anon-kun. Or how about their esports games. I sure do love me some assfaggots and CS;GO!

>Not in my area there are used game stores that are local business's you just refuse to use a GPS search or anything in your area to bring it up

Dumb fuck, I have. There's no dedicated game stores within 15 miles of my area, only overpriced pawn shops.

>competitors will rise after Valve further takes over the market

After irreparable damage has been done maybe, or possibly never and in the meantime developers get fucked over and organic competition is stomped out

Steam will only get worse by my estimates. I'm sure their hiring of an entire SJW studio won't affect things at all…

>But its because the lack of people even attempting to do so or are afraid of these huge giants coming after them. There is money to be made but until people are no longer afraid and just do it. We will be stuck with this.

You realize that this will only be exacerbated when a monopoly situation occurs right?

Since I have a blooborne box now, are Trails of Cold Steel PS4 versions worth it? I loved TITS 1 & 2.

>>15573589

>Cuck shit

>>15573588

PC versions is the best.

>>15573593

Yes, sure, but my PC is not powerful enough to run them. Are they still worth for the story and gameplay anyway even if version is inferior, compared to TITS?

>>15573603

>>15573600

I dunno why that Anon is saying that Mangagamer and others still selling games in Steam is bad, because these companies also have their own store page were one can buy their games and are also at GOG as back up in case, we ever become dissatisfied with Steam.

>>15573608

You dumbass, what's being said is Steam is going to kill off many things, has too much power (and all the implications that go with it), and has done incredible damage

On top of this, steam's audience is cancer that will ruin the eroge games community

>GoG as a backup

GoG isn't supposed to be a "backup", its supposed to be one alternative among many

Many, many storefronts will be killed off or shrunken down considerably in Steam's wake as well

>>15573600

>they still exist

The number of alternatives to Steam will shrink as time goes on and they gain more power and influence

You don't think its easy for them to wipe them all out? They're all under one single filter. The waifupocalypse should've told you how easy it would be for them to fuck everyone over

Centralization is bad. Monopolies are bad. Steam's audience is cancer. (good) alternatives exist. One should show support to them and not fucking Steam of all things

>>15573553

>host games

it costs almost nothing to host a tiny fucking file on Valve's servers. The vast majority of games also do not have any notable multiplayer that would necessitate 30% of revenue taken. Its all profit purely for existing on a platform with no quality control to begin with, and the fact that you don't realize how much power Steam has is incredible. What's stopping Steam from jacking up that ratio, or doing so to indie developers and people who can't defend themselves as well as AAA?

they also aren't a middleman worth showing support to. Many storefronts are DRM-free, censorship free, and other attributes that make them worth supporting, and many storefronts even have an option to choose how much of your money goes to the devs and how much to the storefront.

>Also Steam users do not buy off platform and will buy on their own

This has got to be some kind of bad joke.

>Also it's funny you criticize steam for this when most companies including Amazon do the same exact thing

Amazon is cancer too dumbass, stop buying from them when you can.

That's if your assumption turns out to be true.

>Do you know what monopolies do to begin with? They choke out, kill, or assimilate the vast majority of competition. Once its reached that point its very hard for new competitors to survive, let alone thrive.

This is why I said VC firms and also Grass Roots. Despite Google and Apple trying to get rid of Gab and Bitchute they are still thriving due to how shit the platforms are getting they are offering a truly competitive service and its making Twitter and YouTube have to do better.

>My opinion is better than yours so you should do as I tell you.

No.

>You view centralization as a good thing because of convenience to you, you're already too far gone. Let's just hope a one-world-government never happens when people like you constitute the population

There are no better alternatives you dumb dumb. Also can you stop using strawmans and pretending I am a communist. For Christ sake it does not help that you are making me look good.

>I heard they turned it into discord-lite

It's basically just as good as Discord especially the chatrooms and the voice chat which is a literal godsend.

>Tell me more about artifact and how all Valve's writers left, anon-kun. Or how about their esports games. I sure do love me some assfaggots and CS;GO!

Well nobody is offering a first party game except for Steam so I will stay on there while you laugh in the corner of the room at me.

> I'm sure their hiring of an entire SJW studio won't affect things at all…

Better not buy anything then and be paranoid about Communists under the bed then Anon. Democrats are right behind you on the whole Russians as well.

>You realize that this will only be exacerbated when a monopoly situation occurs right?

It always starts out hopeless but people then go in and take names. Look at Uber it had VC funding and is now the best Taxi company in the US currently.

>>15573626

> corrupt bureaucratic association but is not affiliated with the government.

Sorry for the mix up then, but a corrupt bureaucratic association especially under the government is not something favorable, especially when its mandated by the government and enforced by forgiven super-villains in Marvel's case Again the event was shit but the argument could be made, the film adaption did a better job at explaining it than the comic though it still was lacking

>straight up murdered him for nothing in his newest comic.

I haven't been following Marvel much recently besides Renew Your Vows and Ben Reilly

>>15573644

They are not as good as TitS (not the easiest bar to pass) but they are still good with a pretty sweet soundtrack.

Personally, I think CS1 starts of pretty bad (for obvious reasons), but that feeling was gone quite fast once the story started picking up.

Use nip voices unless you want your ears to be raped when a certain energetic little girl shows up.

Also, listen to this guy >>15573656 >play Sky 3rd first, tough, and consider playing the fan translations of the Crossbell games.

The crossbell games is nothing to scoff at, and have some pretty hype moments.

>>15573656

>>15573671

>Devs don't do AMAs here anymore.

Why are you this mad at people criticizing steam? Why even bringing up AMAs anyway and freaking out over people not buying games day one. We also just recently had an AMA with that one voice actor for lethal league, so now you are blatantly lying.

The major argument is that Steam is an extremely big company that will either create less competition or cause a lot of harm to the industry when it fails since it is such a big thing now.

Avengers are no longer heroes i know that much, plus you're talking about casualfags, goblinslayer has been out for a long time they're only bitching because it came out in anime give it a few weeks and they'll jump onto something else to bitch about, they have adhd in that regard.

>>15573669

I've always liked the hulk so you know it kinda hurts that he's been killed twice by his so called friends after he's saved the world numerous times.

>>15573689

Plus, I find both Steam and GOG to be reliable, even though they're imperfect and have good things to criticize for.

Other clients I'm a bit suspicious of because I know that they're new and they haven't gotten their shit together or they're slow with implementing much needed changes, like bethesda.net and Uplay. No way am I going near those, until they reach competent levels.

>>15573662

There's still censored games that never came back to the platform from before the waifupocalypse happened and their new policies

>only removing illegal content

They've been removing politically-based shovelware (namely right-wing and edgy shit; I haven't heard of any left-wing games being removed)

>giving independent developers chance to distribute

Oh what a blessing, truly, until they get fucked over.

The rest is just apologism for Valve or trying to say they're the best of the worst or some unrelated shit entirely. All of those companies are cancer and I don't support any of them.

>Suddenly Steam is bad

Have you been ignoring what's been happening for the last 4 fucking years?

>>15573671

>you fuckers don't play games anyways

Steamdrones do nothing but buy games they don't play purely because they're on sale, the fuck are you talking about? Go look at Mark's steam library for an example, and that's the case with a lot of those faggots; you're probably included among them. They can't help but throw money at Valve because they're addicted little retards.

>>15573663

Did you forget Microsoft currently holds Gab by the balls and bitchute is still basically dead in the water (look at the viewcounts of videos on their front page); they only got a brief blood transfusion from Alex Jones being unpersoned. How about the fact that they aren't even allowed to bitcoin mine anymore despite their name and formerly their central foundation of the site being focused around it thanks to companies not liking the connotation?

>Twitter and Youtube have to do better

KEK

>There are no better alternatives you dumb dumb. Also can you stop using strawmans and pretending I am a communist. For Christ sake it does not help that you are making me look good.

To you there are no others, when you choose to ignore all the cancer Valve has done and not consider the benefits of these alternatives to be of any worth. You're attached to Steam.

>strawman

still spouting words you don't seem to know the meaning of? I don't know what you're even talking about.

>its basically just as good as discord

I have heard this from literally nobody; I've heard nothing but shit about them being barely functional and also trash.

>Well nobody is offering a first party game except for Steam so I will stay on there while you laugh in the corner of the room at me.

What the hell are you talking about? Why are "first-party games" relevant to you at all? Steam is a storefront for 99.999999999999999% other games that aren't their own. Moreover, every game that's come out from them in the last 7 years is shit or has contributed to cancer or both.

>Better not buy anything then and be paranoid about Communists under the bed then Anon.

Where's the conspiracy? They are obvious, loud SJWs and their game is SJW, and Valve hired them. Do you think Valve will get better with an entire studio of SJWs entering their fold? Be honest.

>It always starts out hopeless but people then go in and take names. Look at Uber it had VC funding and is now the best Taxi company in the US currently.

What does uber have to do with anything? Was the taxi business a monopoly? I wouldn't know anything about that and I don't know waht relevance they have whatsoever or whether they're even a good company or not.

hell I used a traditional taxi somewhat recently to get somewhere fast because uber required me to download an app or some shit and also (apparently) charges more when I only needed a very brief ride at all and I didn't know much at all about it

>>15573706

Pretty much the best summation for how capes act in Marvel comics right now is they're just celebrities with powers that tumblr will fawn over. But there's no actual substance to any of them. Only what people used to think of them as characters then what comics have turned them into. DC is a bit of another beast.

>>15573674

No. Although I don't think BATB is surface level.

>>15573691

They won't come until they make a cute robot girl.

>>15573674

>>15573717

I just like brave and the bold. I don't get why that's so bad. I liked reading a lot of the earlier batman comics, but most of the recent stuff is pretty bad. Most people I talk to hated TBATB since it is not serious enough.

>>15573531

>uses Slade, a Robin/New Teen Titans villain

>>15573669

>I haven't been following Marvel much recently besides Renew Your Vows and Ben Reilly

Apparently the Venom comic is knocking it out of the park. But seeing how Marvel not only hates its fans, but will trot out Stan Lee while he was being mistreated to talk diversity, and continually fail on quality art or writing, I can't even bring myself to pirate it. And DC has somehow been racing to see if they can catch up with the worst that Marvel is making.

>>15573691

>>15573717

As long as they don't kill us, I'm good. It'll be disappointing if we get murdered by our waifu robot girl (Though I'm wondering if some of us will die happy at this thought).

>>15573739

>It'll be disappointing if we get murdered by our waifu robot girl

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens to some people who forgot/didn't know about (((alphabet soup))) agencies and their shenanigans.

>>15573729

>Most people I talk to gated TBATB since it is not serious enough

That’s the point, it’s not supposed to be serious like Batman Animated or Beyond, it’s cheesy like the 60s show.

>>15573739

They won’t kill us if we create and treat them right.

>>15573729

Superheroes shouldn't be taken so seriously. Especially villains that'd be killed 10 times over if they're edgy mass murderers like every modern Batman villain. A serous grounded tone just doesn't work. Logically Batman's identity would be immediately known by everyone with just a few images of his face. You have to go with a sillier outrageous tone and characters so you don't take it so seriously that every little problem bugs you about the story. I could rant a lot about this kind of thing all day.

>>15573744

It's even worse because it's completely unearned. They want to fool you into thinking these complete nobody Mary Sues are great characters that everyone loves. But they don't do anything. They don't have defined characters, groundbreaking stories, iconic villains, or even their own identities. It's pure insanity that we're supposed to be practically worshipping those kinds of characters.

>>15573753

That Valve article, Anon, I can't tell if it's an article or video, if the latter, can't you just use invidious for it? Because I don't know what I'm looking at, unless archive is acting weird on me (Not the first time).

>>15573753

Oh shit. Sounds interesting.

Source article.

>>15573626

>and we killed him

>the Hulk would soon rise again

Wouldn't that make it completely pointless to even bother reading it then? I mean, at least Superman has shit that CAN kill him, in this situation it's literally just "better hope noone accidentally wakes him up"

>>15573753

>Valve investigated in Brazil Over Promoting Violence Against Political Rivals

Archive doesn't work

>>15573765

Thanks for the source article, Anon. I can't stand Jim Sterling for laundry list of reasons.

Though I'm wondering if this is because of the British school system, the late Total Biscuit in my POV was a bit anti-free speech (made worst by cancer and eventually becoming the monster he used to fight), so I think those schools have something in their cafeteria food.

>>15573750

>They don't have defined characters, groundbreaking stories, iconic villains, or even their own identities.

thats why they kill off the originals and steal their villains/stories. But all that does is piss off the old fans.

>>15573753

i miss oneangrygamers.

>>15573772

Apparently Hulk is now immortal. I shit you not thats the new spin they put on him, i don't practically like it but im in the minority now apparently.

>>15573350

Tell me /pol/ made that image I don't want to believe they are that stupid.

>>15573782

Why would they make the Hulk immortal?

>>15573753

Let's see if it gets removed for "trolling" or not

>>15573782

Only to bring them back. Logan is back while Old Man Logan, Ultimate Logan's son, Daken, X-23, and X-23's clone all exist in one universe now. Thor is Thor again but gold. Vision is still Vision but his daughter is still around. Hulk is back just immortal. Captain America is Cap again but the real one was turned into a Nazi and is locked up while a Cosmic Cube created version is running around as the good Cap. Spider-man is still Spider-man but Miles is around. Carol Danvers is still a thing, somehow, while Ms. Marvel exists. And Tony Stark is back I think. Cyclops is dead but his younger/AU version is around.

They have no damn balls to actually go all in with their dumbshit ideas but still wanna keep them around.

Can someone tell me what is happening to OAG recently the site seems dead.

>>15573805

It was hacked and Usher said it might be done for good

>>15573765

Also, I was disappointed by what the game ended up being. Considering Bolsonaro was literally stabbed, and put into a hospital by a commie, https://archive.fo/4jur3, and seeing as steam loves anti-right games, but will crack down on anti-left games, I expected a different plot.

>>15573806

That's sad it was the only site that succeded at keeping me away from twatter for gaming news.

>>15573788

Fuck if i know, to sell shit stories would be my best guess.

>>15573803

>Logan is back while Old Man Logan, Ultimate Logan's son, Daken, X-23, and X-23's clone all exist in one universe now

I can't be the only person to think thats retarded can I? Its like they're trying bite off more than they can chew. Half of them don't even add anything to the story they're just there to take up room.

>>15573691

Within the decade…

>>15573822

No it's really fucking stupid.

>>15573828

Game looks absolutely shit though.

Vivtest looks much better

>>15572843

Found this some days ago, the Fornite company bought the Easy Anti-Cheat company: https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/08/fortnite-maker-buys-anti-cheat-software-company/

Archive version: http://archive.fo/54jVZ

I dunno why it's giving me a Russian version of the archive.

>>15573828

>Imagain a game where you can play as Hitler, Stalin etc

Sounds fun to me.

>>15573839

Here's the actual archive news, sorry: http://archive.fo/qCO5v

Is there a list of all the archives of gamergate thread, i've been downloading old bread since this morning but it will take me years before i finish doing it.

>>15573851

Thank you, Anon, this will help the GG wiki immensely.

>>15573828

>Falloutboy avatar

Of fucking course

>Most evik racist man in the world that supports Israel

Most South American politicians don't give a single shit about public image outside looking good I can't imagine any og these coddled little fucks living there or Asia.

Jesus

>>15573857

Wondering the same thing, Anon. My other question is which of these games have Easy Anti-Cheat? One of the games listed was made by a company that loves using the spyware that I'm surprise Vampyr doesn't have it.

>>15573828

>imagine a game where you can play as stalin or hitler

I've played Tropico and Company of Heroes, does that count?

>>15573816

if they weren't like 10k I might consider it.

hell mail order brides are cheaper though they require more maintenance afterwords.

>>15573713

>Did you forget Microsoft currently holds Gab by the balls

Only because it's a registrar that is not decentralized. So far Microsoft has not done much since.

> bitchute is still basically dead in the water (look at the viewcounts of videos on their front page); they only got a brief blood transfusion from Alex Jones being unpersoned.

You only look at the front page? How about looking at other people like Styx etc. There are people on the platform and you are ignoring how Twitter is essentially losing users while Gab gains without even trying currently.

>How about the fact that they aren't even allowed to bitcoin mine anymore despite their name and formerly their central foundation of the site being focused around it thanks to companies not liking the connotation?

They are raising through grass roots and they do not need much because it is currently going through growth they run p2p to offset the bandwidth load they need to take so it does better than the rest in those regards.

>>Twitter and Youtube have to do better

>KEK

Twitter is losing users and YouTube is slowly going on the path of self destruction.

>To you there are no others, when you choose to ignore all the cancer Valve has done and not consider the benefits of these alternatives to be of any worth. You're attached to Steam.

Because they suck again if you have a better platform that people are MOVING towards let me know. If not then just keep going with your mah morals nonsense on a site that promotes piracy.

>What the hell are you talking about? Why are "first-party games" relevant to you at all? Steam is a storefront for 99.999999999999999% other games that aren't their own. Moreover, every game that's come out from them in the last 7 years is shit or has contributed to cancer or both.

First party games do matter. How is Nintendo able to resale their consoles all over again and charge money to keep making you repay for it? It's all in the first party titles with Mario, Zelda, Splatoon and Animal Crossing. Even Sony has 1st party titles to put on its platform it pays third parties to do for them. Even GOG has the Witcher until it decided to go on Steam. You need some excitement or anything to help get people to the platform.

>Where's the conspiracy? They are obvious, loud SJWs and their game is SJW, and Valve hired them. Do you think Valve will get better with an entire studio of SJWs entering their fold? Be honest.

If they allow them positions of power it will flatline but because there is no manager of centralization of power at the company it will be difficult for them to take power. Remember anything that does not allow anyone into power or leadership roles and even prevent a takeover will last longer than the rest. Besides I think it's a marketing tactic that in another 2 years will be realized as the Ultimate failure. I do not believe corporations believe in diversity. They just want money and not have to advertise for it. Once more corporations move down it will begin to be unpopular like it is now.

>>15573865

Well that’s the most salt i’ll ever see in a single steam review.

>>15573923

>>15573917

Is this game even good?

>>15573931

Looks like shit m8

>>15573931

Not a clue. Never seen it up until today.

>>15573938

I'm wondering if someone tried it out and the game a fair shake, that fag providing the delicious salt is just one guy.

>>15573532

I have a hard time getting off to atage because every time I just remember his blacked comic.

>>15573941

You can see on the steam page, it's a bad graphics side-scrolling beat em up. Street Gangs rolling in its grave etc.

Recently found this Mastodon place (or is it Baraag?). Seems to be a Twitter clone that accepts loli and shota, but is it pozzed or no? A favorite artist of mine is there.

>>15573959

>I'm fucking tired everyone keeps shitting on the Hulk for some shitty reason or another.

Characters in comic books aren't allowed actual progress or happiness because shitty writers can't write interesting stories if the characters have actual progress going on.

>>15573957

Thanks for that heads up. I want to send someone a message but for some reason Pixiv keeps giving me this "You can't submit this comment." error. Been happening for months and I'm not the only one it seems.

>>15573956

>but is it pozzed or no

Nigga. The whole thing is a more extreme SJW version of twitter.

>>15573981

Yet the loli artist is accounted for, which is weird. Anyways, I really like to know if anyone managed to solve >>15573970. Apparently not everyone is affected.

>>15573706

>I've always liked the hulk so you know it kinda hurts that he's been killed twice by his so called friends after he's saved the world numerous times.

They killed him twice, tried to kill him by sending him into the middle of space and basically they always assume everything bad arround him.

What's fucking offensive is that Captain America is there. But, of course, is feminist imaginated Captain America, but still.

>>15573957

>>15573956

Since Mastodon is open source, Nips have their own servers and I think even a fork.

But I wouldn't doubt SJWs try some shit with Japan's instances, like changing the licenses and future updates to exclude them.

>>15573035

never played any of the rances games

is it good?

>>15573997

The artist I speak of isn't Japanese. Or at the very least, the artist speaks English and lives in the USA. Linking her might count as shilling though. Just want to have a small chat.

>>15573970

>>15573997

Read this https://archive.is/FajkB it gives a basic idea about it. Mastodon is such socjus cancer that even their users screeched to have Wil Wheaton booted from it, happened a little while ago

>>15573978

>doesn't know about GoG, itch.io, etc.

I am aware of the alternatives that are still around you retard, I've advocated for people using them. I don't know what you're even talking about. Key resellers also aren't real alternatives either.

>Doesn't know Dlsite and Mangagamer have funneled users from Steam that didn't know they existed to their site by enticing them with better goodies, DRM free or adult/mosaic patches

I'm willing to bet more are being lost to Steam's client than the paltry sum of people that are being gained by this, especially in the wake of Steam's (current) uncensored phase

>comparing a free service with ads with a store where people pay for goods

Steam doesn't cost anything to use, and there are free games on Steam (TF2 and DotA are fucking huge). The point isn't about comparing Steam's services to youtube, but about the monopoly and its effects and their similar positions when as market leaders. Steam's power isn't as bad as Youtube's or Google's yet but it will only get worse as time goes on and we almost certainly will see what happened with them happen with Steam. That should've been clear and easy to decipher.

>doesn't know about bitchute

<when I just posted caps from their front page and also mentioned them earlier

Everyone knows about liveleak, its not a youtube alternative whatsoever. This is like saying pornhub is a youtube alternative.

>>15574008

>ara furry

>>15572863

This smells jewish

>>15574036

The shit that's been going on.

>>15574043

No idea but i fucking like it,i hope the person dumps more

>>15574020

<this is like saying Pornhub is a Youtube alternative

>Implying it isn't

these games going to Steam won't mean shit to the alternatives, people are actually using them more nowadays and Steam was already getting them but with censorship including Illusion games

>>15574008
