Look in the mirror

No way, that's just an impostor. I've never even seen that person before.

In what concentration camp would would stuff made by Ubisoft Sofia (and similar) go?

With the rest of the Slav(jank) and Eastern European stuff i.e. right along side Cyberpunk 2077 where it belongs.

 

[janior]

Segregate the forums by IQ instead.


High IQ - Strategy Games, Space Games
Medium IQ - Crpgs
Low IQ - FPS, Japanese Games, Roguelikes
Non-Existent IQ - GD, Politics

Suggesting that any kind of games requires high IQ is a low IQ take.

where the Jewish gamers at?

Too embarassed to get associated with Pompi's shovelware, so they stick with being European.

Inspired by this very bad thread, I head a (hopefully) good idea.

Keeping with the spirit of the times the Codex should divide it's gaming section according to civilizational poles, ofc. attenuated somewhat by the particular history of video games.

I propose a division like so:

• Japanese gaming (Resident Evil, Dark Souls, Mario etc.)
• Asian gaming (Genshin Impact, Ho Tu Lo Shu, Girls Frontline etc.)
• American gaming (Doom, Starcraft, Thief, Jagged Alliance, Heroes of Might and Magic etc.)
• British gaming (e.g. Wipeout, Tomb Raider, Perfect Dark, Chaos Engine etc.)
• Western European gaming (e.g. Crusader Kings, Divinity Original Sin etc.)
• Eastern European gaming (e.g. Witcher, Space Rangers, Pathologic etc.)

Then each of those can be broken down into the common genres for those cultures (e.g. there's no need to have an RTS or FPS subforum for Japan, but DRPG and SRPG? that would make sense).

when i hear multipolar, I immediately think modders.

do we need a ~just modder things~ forum?

We already have an autist containment subforum they just don't supply it with new blood much anymore.

I don't think it matters much whether I use adblock here or on any other forum.

That's just bipolar. Number of polarities isn't actually a benefit, anyway. People should stick with being monopolar. Pick one and stick with it.

We should have 195 gaming forums for each country. Licorice, please never stop being who you are, you are a gem.

That kind of autism has its place, I've always wished Moby Games would let you search for games developed by country instead of just having autists make incomplete lists on wikipedia for only a handful of countries. But as a forum system? No thanks.

Rain Man's hyperfocused brilliance autismo vs Licorice's room-temperature IQ autismo

Why stop at multi-polar forums when you can make gamer nations out of a regular nation.

 

[Stavrophore]

Honey, new TNO patch has dropped, they reworked russia again.

 

[Alter Sack]

You're a treasure sometimes licorice.

A very special treasure, always.

Thinking about it some more, modern AAA Anglosphere games and games from studios like Ubisoft belong in some kind of soulless, culture less corporate globohomo pole, seperate from the actual civilizational poles.

This is a thing I'm aiming to fix with the List of RPGs thread and why I told Abu Antar to add "Country of Origin" as a piece of information. I'm tracking it all in an excel doc right now so eventually, when enough games are added, I'll make it public so everyone can sort by country along with the other typical stuff like year, tags, etc.

Those wikipedia lists annoy me beyond belief when I'm focusing on specific countries when making entries and it's missing everything.
