Incline How will RPGCodex compete with /vrpg/?

[agentorange]

I don't know, if it's about privacy, it's not like I keep it secret that my mom had laptop problems yesterday or that my high school friends are having another reunion.

Facebook harvests your data -- location, keystrokes, contacts, etc. -- to enrich themselves, and you're the consenting user. There are other products that don't own you.

They don't own me. I am already a slave to The Wage.

WhatsApp

Some people need it for work, uni or what have you, y'know.

Who "needs" it for work? I've never head of that.

I know some concrete cases of blue collar jobs in which co-workers decide over Whatsapp who comes in for this or that day due to a shortage of required daily labor thanks to the pandemic.

I use WhatsApp to talk to coworkers if I want to shoot off a short message and not call them, reaction time on WhatsApp is much better than just sending an email

I still send telegrams. Ain't nobody got time for whatsapp, sms, email and all that shit

Also the other tag was given to me by Infinitron for saying rtwp is better than TB so it doesn't actually mean anything either.

Saying rtwp is better than TB is a bannable offence. Consider yourself tolerated.
Btw, first two Larian Divinity games were pure realtime diablo style and were infinitely better than the clusterfuck that the rtwp IE game combat is. If you think TB is liek boooring and not eenuf akshun then go full action rpg instead of creating shit that's neither here or there. I've yet to see a game that has good implementation of rtwp. It was created to coddle the crowd, who don't like tactical combat and should have no interest for arpeegees whatsoever. One of the early instance of dumbing down the system to cater kiddies with low attention span and need for constant hectic movement on the screen.

[The Brazilian Slaughter]

I think someone else said it here, but whoever said it is long-lost to my memory:

The Codex is the best medium between the chansphere and the normienet.

- We have the beautiful chaos, anarchy and randomness of the chans, but a little more controlled.

- We have the order and moderation of the normienet, but the mods are just adequately apathetic enough to never become little tinpot tyrants. Furthermore, DU only messes with us for shits and giggles and everyone accepts that.

Everything, even /pol/, the ultimate hive of scum and villainy gets censored. Codex stays free. Has there ever been a more significant reason to love Codex?

- We have anonymity in the form of user names, but we also have notoriety in the same. Furthermore, it is possible to know users by their writing style, their likes and dislikes and their general ways. So we are all unknown randoms talking to each other, but we are know people talking to each other. I am not just random brazilian guy with no name, or the person I am behind that keyboard, I am The Brazilian Slaughter here.

- Because the Codex is free, unlike the normienet, everyone is genuine here. We are all a bunch of edgy try-hard bastards for sure, but that's who we are or choose to project, and we love it. There is also real, genuine kindness and care, not the fake type displayed by false good people on the Normienet, but actual human kindness and friendliness. The Codexer will call for the extermination of an entire ethnic group (as he is wont to), and then send a MP to his bro asking if he is doing ok. In the words of Eyestabber from my old sig:

A person who doesn't acknowledge your right to think what you think and feel what you feel is not a nice person. We live in a sadly barbaric age where exterior signs of politeness are confused with moral virtue. A person saying "would you please align your head with the other thought criminals so we don't have to waste two bullets?" is not what I would consider "nice".

- Being free also means that in the Codex, you are allowed to express whatever thoughts you desire, unfiltered. This results in a lot of drek and noise, but this also results in a lot of verboten, polemical and even "criminal" expression. There's no filter, no political correctness, no insane mods ready to destroy those who wrong-think. Therefore, similar to the chans, the Codex is a place where things can actually be discussed and thoughts can be truly expressed. This also leads to true, actual solutions that the normie public are scared of, because they are weak and their masters do not want to solve issues.

I would rather be ridiculed and add important and honest information to this great thread than to be left alone, but feel useless.

- Furthermore, because Codex is a forum, we can build upon past discussions, rather than the past discussion being swallowed by a delluge of posts into the imageboard ether. We also know the users, so we can remember their positions as well.


To conclude:

Your favorite sports heroes are all drug abusers. Your favorite intellectuals are all networking tribe members. Your country's best colleges are cheater magnets. The engineers you look up to are just visual-spatial haxors, not actual philosophers. Only 3% of Amerikwans listen to classical music as their preference. Facebook is worth over 190 billion dollars.

Face it. Humanity is utterly retarded and the Codex is actually one of its better parts. Think about that.

Codex >>> Chans. Therefore, /vrpg already lost.

What is your HONEST opinion on this indie Fallout-like?

Thread: https://boards.4channel.org/vrpg/thread/213942

This game was made by RPG Codex autists including the ex-admin of the site. Basically they're so deluded over there they think the MOST important thing about cRPG's is this concept they call "choices and consequences", basically picking different things should result in different outcomes and it should all be stat based and reloading 10 times to find the right outcome that doesn't fuck you in the ass is peak cRPG gameplay.

Linking to 4chan on the 'dex should be treated the same way as linking to reddit on 4chan.

We need to decide what is an RPG before they do.

How will RPGCodex compete with /vrpg/?

It won't because

Spoiler

If only it was true...
*silently looks at forums dedicated to Obsidian, Bethesda and other shits*

 

[Gastrick]

I was wondering, do internet rules 1 and 2 apply to RPGCodex?

 

[Peachcurl]

We need to decide what is an RPG before they do.

Before we do that, can we PLEASE all agree that the C in CRPG stands for computer, not classic?

 

[Stella Brando]

While we're at it, what does the G in 'RPG Game' stand for?

 

[Black]

Grognard.

 

[Ol' Willy]

Spoiler

Right side has the same image copied a lot of times. What's the joke?

 

[Pink Eye]

This is the kind of person that comes from 4chan. They're not sending their best people.

Wife Scholar's shtick is unique even for the chans, though I agree it's better suited for an image board with disposable threads since it's just a bunch of off-topic spam on a proper forum.

I think it is just some alt account somebody made to tease Pink Eye.

Now why will someone create a brand new spanking account, tell me they were banned on 4chan; then have the account prosperized, all to "tease" me. To what end?

 

[Pink Eye]

Magnat It's rhetorical. The person of discussion is someone I've been posting with for a couple years now. That's how we post over there, well, in the pathfinder threads anyways.

I know who he is, Pink Eye. My rating was tongue-in-cheek.

Is that even contested by anyone?

contested

That works perfectly. Contested Role-Playing Game.
