Ok.

Its fucked. We here, we have more in common than we have that differentiates us. (Why are we drawn here, after all?)

But, we argue. Like silly people. We would be better off collaborating than competing.

OK. Here's my theory:

We are refugees. We can't cope with what's happening arouind us. It's all turning to shit. Everything, and I mean everything, is done for money. And this place is one of those few last bastions. But the lawlesssness that defines here is also its undoing. Because we fight each other, when we should be fighting the common enemy. Just like the MPyth LOBthing (People's f of jud)

This is what's happening to RPGdot. Its the pervasive influence of commerce, of money. The stink of money. It's everywhere.

It's the 'creeping death'.

Now. There's a great villain for an RPG. Actually, it reminds me of the 'Neverinding Story' What a great villain. They already had it worked out.

"The Nothing"

Best metaphor ever for what's become of us. Western capitalism. Just look at the pop music top-40 charts. And compare it with the same from 20 years ago. Dear god, what has happened? The nothing. Music, clothes, everything. Gray, conformist. The Nothing. Forever seek to try to impress that you have money. Gee, great.

Mindless, shoot 'em up. Shitty, bland pop. Predictable, dull, by-the-numbers-hollywood dullness.

And the UGLINESS. The sheer ugliness of what we see on TV or at the pictures, (what's being sold in game shops) nowadays. The violence.

The UNDERVALUING of FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.

So.

WE ARE UNDERUSED.

I say to you all: SWITCH OFF THE COMPUTER.

FIND A WOMAN. MAKE SOME CHILDREN.

FOR THERE IS HOPE

Uh. I like this place because you can say what's on your mind and not get banned. Sometimes I laugh. Um. That's it, really.

Dunno what you're talking about. I just come here for a few laughs. We fight because it's fun, not out of some dumbass emo search for identity and purpose in a world that cares more about filthy lucre than the laughter of small children or whatnot. I've already pretty well made my peace with the world and just decided to ignore the stuff that other people obsess over but I don't really care about.

I don't know what he's talking about either. But that's because after the first two sentances it reminded me of those paranoid kooks that are on public access TV it 3:00 in the morning, and i skipped the rest.

Uh... are you high or something? We run a nice, clean family oriented forum here, mister, and we don't want your immoral carrying on lowering the tone.

Music is really shitty now, but it was also really shitty in the 80s. I blame MTV.

MTV alone did not do it, record labels and MTV did.

When you have lip-synching in live events you start to wonder about the "quality" and "talent" of some artists.

You can't fight the money making system BUT (overall) I agree with teeny weeny Twinfalls: this is the place to be when you want to express your disgust for the actual general cRPG status.

Developers think cross-platform now. PC games (automatically) are and will be ports, so they need to be dumbed down for console kids.

Well, I know I'm certainly pissed off about the way the CRPG genre is going.

Who isn't?

Well, who here isn't, at least?

Well, more specifically, what PC RPG gamer isn't?

Hell, what PC gamer isn't pissed about the current gaming market?

Twinfalls I hope you're trying to make fun of angsty teens or you are one otherwise your OP makes you look like an idiot.
Yes, life sucks, people suck but look at bright side: you're mortal so the whole thing will be over eventuelly! :D

Buy a history book and actually read it if you really think the world "suddenly" went bad. Greed and ignorance were their since the dawn of man, nothing ever changed. The past is at least as ugly as the present. You know I could be gassing jews right know or bleeding to death on some godless battlefield (I'm German) - like the people in the "good old times". They certainly didn't "undervalue their fellow human beings" back then.

And you're also wrong if you think that RPGCodex is a big, happy collective of like-minded people. I think Blizzard (Diablo) and Bioware (Baldur's Gate) destoryed CRPG-gaming once and forever (the two mentioned games mark the beginning of the "new school" of CRPG design for me - i.e. dumbed-down, real-time crap for the unwashed masses). However there are a lot of Blizzard and Bioware fans around here IIRC.

As far as "UGLINESS" is concerned: Personally, I don't find all the "I fucked your daddy in the ass with a night-stick while jerking off to underage midget porn"-posts of Codex regulars very pleasing...

That's not so important, I think. Throughout the ages people made so much great music that you could listen to it during your whole life.
And if you don't like contemporary music - try to write your own, it's fun even if you don't achieve anything.

Oke, I'm lying. But it could happen.

Say now Twinfalls, that's a dangerous thought you have there. I think it's bordline thought-crime. Let's just escort you to the Ministry of Truth for your re-education. You will love Big Brother in no time!

Edit-Just read this, kinda makes sense
Anyway, my future posts will be when drunk, or not at all.

Love,
TF

Hey Noble Savage,

I have a wacky idea: stop being such a pussy. I bet if you had the choice you would force your will on everyone and make it law that no violent movies or shows were made. Or at least be happy if they were outlawed. Because you are a pussy and a tyrrant. The two don't mix buddy. You need to relax and let man live free. Free of your pussy thoughts and sissy perspective. If people enjoy watching violent movies let them watch. Grow some fucking balls and man the fuck up, bitch. Your view of the world is based off of ignorance and the fact you were born with the wrong genitalia.

FIND A WOMAN. MAKE SOME CHILDREN.

Find a women for what? Marriage? Thats great advice if you're a fucking moron. Marriage sucks. And children just lead to more resources being used and the world continueing to be raped and destroyed by the evil de-valued humans. Stupid hypocrite.

Find a prostitute and don't make children, thats much better advice.[/quote]

Actually, that's kind of shitty advice. Why? Well, if anyone smart enough to realize breeding puts a strain on the environment decides not to breed, only stupid people will breed and the world ends up filled with them. The trick is to have the smart people breed , but prevent the stupid people from breeding somehow.
