Trigger the codex with a statement.

The only real games are pac man and missile command. Because they teach you that no matter how hard you try, you can't win and you're going to die in a nuclear fireball/be eaten by a ghost/be destroyed in the inevitable corruption of the universe.

The only way to win truly win at computer games is to shut down the computer and walk away.

What is best in life?
To make your enemies shut down their computer, to see them walk away from it, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

I only play games that can be played on a TV with a controller now. I just beat Limbo, it was OK

Warlord: This is good, but what is best in RPGs?
Warrior: Collaborative story-telling, choice & consequences, cinematic narrative, and companion romances.
Warlord: Wrong! Conan, what is best in RPGs?
Conan: To crush your enemies, explore their dungeons, and to see the glitter of their treasure.
Warlord: That is good. [crowd cheers]

I've never really been a fan of blobbers, but Bards Tale IV was pretty fun.

Ultima 8 is my favorite in the series.

Reallocate the budget for storytelling c&c cinematics and romances and so on and so on and all other useless fluff to developing combat and combat-related mechanics and the game will surely be much better.

another episode of "sawyer creates strawman in his head and tweets about it"
what a sad, lonely man

 

[ferratilis]

So he thinks that he and the modern left are the ultimate authority to decide which authors are "disingenuous and/or ignorant." Think we've seen that before, it didn't work out well. He should read Solzhenitsyn, although with his state of mind, I doubt there's anything he could learn there.

“Please read these books about how there were bad things that happened”
…That doesn’t mean it was all bad though?

Name me one major right wing group that romanticizes feudal peasantry in America.

You can't really win against the computer, since it doesn't get angry, or even miffed, when losing.

Fake news, a robot broke a child's finger this year when the kid tried to cheat him at chess.

Poor lawful evil robot just doing what he was created for. He died for the sins of a little brat.

I suggest we create a petition to woo Lilura back to the Codex.

Back in the day, a quarter of all Codexers aspired to be Rosh. Now, two thirds LARP that they're Cleve.

Alright, lets see.
Medieval peasant:

• Had to provide labor to the lord of the manor
• Had to pay taxes and tithes to the church and state (in money or labor)
• Didn't actually own the land he worked on nor the hovel in which he lived in
• Got cucked by nobility on his wedding night
• Had no voting rights

Contemporary cosmopolitan bugman

• Has to provide labor for his CEO
• Has to pay taxes to the government
• Pays rent to his landlord, doesn't own the company he works for
• Gets cucked by Tyrone (on his wedding night)
• Gets to vote for who the democrats tell him to vote for

It ain't so much that the medieval peasant had it better, it's that nothing's changed, and bugmen like Sawyer don't see it.
Sure, people aren't starving to death come winter (up until now), and they're not dying from the plague, but that has nothing to do with the system of governance.

Got cucked by nobility on his wedding night

This is actually a meme. There is no historical evidence that the Right of First Night was ever a thing.

I know, but I had to work in urbanites getting cucked by Tyrone.

peasant gets attacked by orcs, it's in the noble's best interests to protect them
modern vooter gets attacked by orcs, it's in the elite's best interests to pass legislation protecting orcs from harm

And jail the peasants whjo defend themselves.

You know, you're probably right... There are quite a few games I love that would be seen as decline...
