Gaming was never good. It was a cultural mistake of epic proportions to normalise it among adults.
The worst “hobby” and the worst thing to plague culture in the last 40 years.

It's also a prime example of consoleshittery ruining PC games.
Only saving grace is that Fallout 4 was even worse.
Not a coincidence the marketing budget of Fallout 4 was about double the development budget, so maybe this should be mentioned as well:

Yes, gaming is horrible at first glance but everything is now net based so chess will be an anonymous, net-based forever alone autist strategy game. However there are still chess clubs in schools, which is clearly a better hobby than sitting only in front of a PC and playing.

>>528653957
Chess is shit if you read theory and only play "good moves". The moment you just start doind your own stuff it's fun again. Games are unpredictable and not the same anymore.

The use of games to program minds at least goes back to the early 2000s with the Fogg B=MAT model
https://www.behaviormodel.org/videos
There's actually a video where he alludes to generative ai models already existing from back then... but that is not relevant here.
He mapped out how to use gaming to socially reform people without them knowing.
In Skyrim how many decisions did you program yourself with in a single playthrough? The Mace of Molag Bal and rape?

Yes. That's completely correct. Skyrim was universally acclaimed on release and is still rated as the greatest game of all time by most people.

Those games were old-school. So you don't need to pull the contrarian shtick of hating popular things. Morrowind was ass btw

>>528653971
It is the best game of forever and has a lot of modded waifus.
This and Rimworld are my playthings.
So you better offer me something better tham this, Kasiriadis, or just go to fuck yourself or something.

>>528654068
It has nothing to do with socialisation. Chess is a net positive, it’s a tool for sharpening the mind.
A society where millions of people play and care deeply about Chess will be infinitely better than one where people care deeply about video-games (i.e the current society we live in)

I’d go as far as to say that video-games are the symptom or even cause of all illness in society.
What hope can there be for a society whose people in their precious free time, willingly choose to rot in front of computers?

>>528653838
This. Bethesdaslop always fucking sucked.

>>528654068
Definitely won't help you meet girls. In fact it's quite likely you'll play chess mostly with fellow autists who enjoy decent video games (contrasted to normies playing consoleshit).
Not that the game leaves much room for social interactions.
>two autists starting at a board and hitting the clock
It only gets worse when you start reading chess literature and learn tables. A sport would probably be an all-around better choice. Literally any sport.

>>528654075
Not a coincidence they came up with variants like speed chess or chess 960, and so on.
But it's honestly not easy to say what are the best or worse hobbies. There's a ton of pretty bad ones, or stuff that could barely considered a hobby - just a case of people doing something obsessively, versus some "good" hobbies that really are just work you enjoy doing, like woodcarving.

like what? you can't fix it because the game is shallow as a puddle when it comes to basic gameplay
people shit on morrowind combat but when it comes to TES dice rolls make actually much more sense, I always play on highest difficulty and morrowind combat on max slider setting was much more enjoyable than skyrim on legendary which was just boring and awful. the only good thing skyrim has it's beatiful and diverse world, with a lot of enviormental building, but for me the map is a little bit too small, you can't walk for 5 minutes without encountering a cave dungeon or something like that
but I agree with you on the point that consoles ruin games
like in mgs v you were supposed to have those huge battles but consoles couldn't handle them, of course when it comes to mgs v you also have konami being greedy and kojima defrauding company money to meet his favorite actors but that's besides the point

The atmosphere is amazing. Its a jank game, but like Stalker SoC, at some points you'll be walking and just stop to say "damn this is beautiful". The quests and detail put in, like books, are beyond most other games. I still find quirks and different ways to do quests. Its very boring if you just go straight to kill alduin by cheesing him with a shitty hunting bowat level 15 or something without even so much as doing dark brotherhood.

The old guard lasted until about 2011, stragglers survived in small pockets until maybe 2015 and then were eventually eliminated by the woke.

The old guard of nerdy white dudes who love solving complex programming problems leaving is blatantly the cause of gaming's downfall. Even the retarded woke games would still be halfway decent if they were at least programmed well.

>>528654538
It's better than Skyrim in every conceivable way. The writing, the acting, the gameplay, the graphics, the music. It's the better game. The one DLC, I forget the name at the moment, where you get to go to the Witcher version of France, is better than Skyrim's DLCs too.

Skyrim's potion system is the dumbest potion system ever made. There's just no reason to use it unless you're doing the regeneration potion glitch so you can power up your gear with alchemy. There is nothing that potions can do for you that magic or a gear enchantment can't do better. And Skyrim's necromancy is pure garbage unless you mod it. It's got a stupid level cap that makes you only able to resurrect weaklings, which gets power creeped by leveling. You're better off using destruction which is also trash.

The bigbrain take is that civilisation is one contiuous step down

>cities then make us more fearful, even sicker and smaller
>social strata are the requirement of many moral and organised crimes as well as mass murder
this is all technially correct and we still barey left the stone age!

with every technical progress come drawbacks.
PCs as a tool are here to stay, the question is how to integrate them.
Chess was definitely seen by many knights as instruments of faggyness.
Some knights would probably use your exact same words:
>"you need to learn real life strategy if you want to command in battle, chess teaches you nothing, it's just a
>"symptom or even cause of all illness in society"

In other words, you perspective is already skewed.
We can mitigate the disastrous effects of games with Volkish policy. But PCs are here to stay, same as AI.
We should absolutely shame smartphone use and insta & yidtube "shorts". A NS state can easily fund RL game habbenings, promote and even force people to become more social again.

Are there even alternatives or what are your fixes?

>>528654450
The difficulty is one such example. It's honestly incredibly pathetic. You can fix most of Skyrims difficulty problems (=being ridiculously easy and only getting more easy if you actually develop and equip your character well) adjusting a few fundamental parameters - although that's not something many people realised.
In fact the nature of the difficulty slider itself is one such thing that makes the game shit. It's a retarded mechanism.
Then there's stuff like the interface that's also pretty straightforward to make more PC compatible, and thankfully one of the first thing people did.

>>528654654

>The writing, the acting
it's reddit game of thrones tier cringe, I don't mind games with a lot of reading and dialouges, I just fucking hate to listening to voice actors who can't act for shit which was the case in most witcher 3 quests, both in polish and english dub (enlgish is much better though i will admit). combat is shitty, better than skyrim but that's not an achievment in itself, music and atmosphere I would say is similar to skyrim when it comes to quality but skyrim is much more immersive, due to it's world, wticher 3 open world is ubisoft tier, combat I would say is worse than in ubisoft ass creed and doesn't give you really a choice like you can't complete the game without using signs (geralt in the book rarely uses them)

also witcher 3 takes itself much too seriously, it always makes me laugh when games think they can be art like movies or books, it's impossible to have a coherent narration in open world games, the only games that done it right was morrowind gothic and oblivion but again those games don't take themselves too seriously and pretend to be movies

>>528654760
Yeah I figured that out that's how it would end up in the first hour and dropped it forever. I kept messing around with the combat system and wondering when it would get interesting before eventually realizing it was actually just that simplistic and I would never enjoy it.

Honestly the first two witcher games seem more interesting to play if anything but considering how boring the gameplay of the 3rd one is I'm more than a little apprehensive

Thing is Morrowind is like a thousand times more based in this respect, so Skyrim still felt like a step down, but I'll admit this was one of its strengths still.

>>528654486
The graphics were okay, sure.
I still seethe whenever I think of Skyrims out of the box "difficulty" (there is no such thing and the slider is pure jank), precisely because this was an easily avoidable problem. And I mean REALLY easy.
They unironically intended the game to be like that, so that any 8 year old consoletard can just walk through it with his eyes closed.

> We should absolutely shame smartphone use and insta & yidtube "shorts"

The thing is, video-games to me are at the same level as yidtube, TikTok and Insta.

>Bjartur: "I mean, the Redguards fought off the Aldmeri and the Empire, and now Hammerfell is an independent state. That's all we Nords want for Skyrim!"
Ahtar: "I said shut up, scum!"
Bjartur: "So it's okay if your people rebel against the Empire, but not mine?"
Ahtar: "They aren't my 'people'. I'm with the Empire because they pay me; and that means I'm out here, and you're in there. So shut up, scum!"

Aside from the technical stupidity of it (all it does is reduce damage you do and increase damage you take by a set ratio, the laziest thing imaginable that already sucked ass in Morrowind and Oblivion) is that it's easily skirted. Just use summons and let a companion fight? They're unaffected.
In short it gives no merit.
>I beat Skyrim on Master!
That's embarrassing at best, cringe and autistic.
>I beat a shit game in a shit way
Instead it just screams out that the difficulty is totally flawed.

video games are far less dangerous, especially if you happen to mitigate the risks with good National Socialist policy.

Once more: we understand your beef, what are your solutions. Where would you like White people to go, with or without video games?

Both Oblivion and Skyrim sucked.
I couldn't be bothered to finish either of them.
They suffer from the exact same problem: taking forever to take baby steps into a 20 page main plot.
The side quests were more coherent and compact, which made them more fun to do.
Bethesderps may have built beautiful worlds, they suck at the grand plot.

>What people do is play 1000plugins-formerly-known-as-Skyrim
It's basically mandatory at this point. Bethesda have released Skyrim 9001 times, and still can't fix some quests that were fixed by modders the first fucking month.
Also: The best way to play Skyrim is in VR with immersion and QoL mods. I can't go back to playing it normally anymore.

The Thalmor just want Skyrim divided and without a clear monopoly on violence. Continuing the civil war is what they want, neither Ulfric or the Empire winning helps them and so will interfere as the situation demands

The Stormcloaks also had a thing about how the land was their right to rule. Something hyperborean to it, but their motivation went back to ES Arena and their god as proof that man can ascend on this plane.

Ebony warrior is a daedra with human looks.

All TES games suffer from level scaling and copy paste dungeons. In Morrowind there at least is a slight reason to explore the 100th Ancestral Tomb because it might contain some legendary or unique equipment. The Level-scaling in oblivion and skyrim is ridiculous tho, and they are genuinely unplayable without mods.
>bandits with full daedric plate
>random barrels in ruined forts with thousands of gold
>mage novice casting mega death from above burning everything into a crisp
This first and foremost completely breaks any immersion you can have in a TES game.
Can't really remember how much this was an issue in Skyrim, I usually dropped it after 10-15 hours into a play through.

Is there a mod that gets rid of 90% of all the copy paste dungeons and instead expands the remaining major ruins and caves into large and detailed adventures?

It goes quite a bit deeper than that, but parts of the lore are intentionally ambiguous so they can do whatever they like without causing conflicts. Pretty common developer strategy.
In any case: the real issue is Lorkhan.

People need to stop believing debunked conspiracies about The Thalmor. They are hard working people with an intellectual culture so it makes sense they do well in the world of business. Did you know actually many of your favourite entertainers and musicians are from the Summerset Isles? Also don't be racist, the empire is made of lots of different people united by our core values, not some racial nonsense that belongs in the past.

I would have no problem with it taking place in parts of Hammerfell and High Rock if it was more like Oblivion and Skyrim politically and not like modern woke games but I doubt this wouls be the case with how woke modern Bethesda games are.
They already had one game only set in Hammerfell that was Elder Scrolls Adventures Redguard which was a financial failure because of the bad combat system and controls.

It's just the comparative lack. There was a fuckload of open racism in Morrowind, including towards the player. The racial conflict felt far more pronounced.
Hell, being called Outlander was the default discourse, and you had to prove you're not one of the bad ones.

its probably as good as it got for console peasants so i can see why that may be a popular opinion among the plebians

>>528656281

The issue is customers are retarded. People dont want to spent more than 50 dollar for a AAA game. Attempts to make the standard price rise to 100 were rejected by the players. Meanwhile other customers are fine with spending 1000s of dollars on micro transactions for skins and loot boxes or fake progression in mobile games. Actually good games need millions of investment and maybe return money in the same order of magnitude. Loot box slop costs less and makes billions in revenue. So thats what we get now.

Wherever commercial interests put their foot down, every product involved turns to shit.
I'm not a fantasy book reader. I know Tolkien, I know Lewis, but those are just two major writers.
The industry that followed in the 1960s apparently formulated a set structure with expectations of fantasy novels, and if your work doesn't fit it, the publishers don't want your work.
Since then almost every single fantasy novel has been the same uninspired formulaic slop in different universes. Pulp fiction in its original literal meaning.
But these days they expect a female hero who beats the odds, not just a hero. And if she's extra diverse, you get extra promotion.
Bookstores and supermarkets are still inundated with women's daily digest, which has been utter garbage for even longer.
The customers will say "ooh a new one" but it's the same slop, different shop.

I don't need to get into movies much to show where that's gone wrong. Marvel. Enough said.
Who's making productions that get that popularly seen? The only one I can think of is Christopher Nolan, and his work's the drizzling shits, there's no colour, it's always depressing, and now he's casting unqualified actors too.

Games have one ace up their sleeve.
The 90s experience:
Because you interact with them, you decide whether the story has a happy or sad ending.
Victory or game over. The reward is greater because you did it, it wasn't done for you.
You train your problem solving skills along the way, how to read maps, how to source information.
In platformers you train hand-eye coordination for precision and timing.
In strategy games you learn to plan ahead and prepare, resource management, and diplomacy.

But that was then.
If your game does everything for you, shows you where to go, uses QTEs for complex platforming and gives you wallhacks through a perk, you don't train shit, you don't think, you don't perform anything, thus you don't get good.
That's where they dull the mind and insert DEI. That's now.

I eventually outscaled everything with blacksmithing and enchanting but it was tedious and I had to pick my fights and actively dodge attacks with the most dogshit hit detection system imagined, oftentimes using a shield to reduce their swing damage so it didnt instantly kill me.

I think art is good. Movies, music, books all of it is better than video-games.

If kids were still spending their time being into bands and defining their personality through their favourite music rather than their favourite games, I think that’s a preferable state of affairs.

>>528656523
because it's a shitty mmo, the main reason bethesda games are as successful as they are is because of handcrafted maps and interactive enviroments, I think it would be good though if they used procedural generation for the outdoors to increase map size, but indoors stay handcrafted, I hated how close to eachother everything is in skyrim, dungeons and caves 50 meters from eachother, I want a bigger map, not as big as daggerfall but still big, so finding a handcrafted location is more rare but more interesting

>>528656552

Yep agreed.
Skyrim doesn't wreck Elder Scrolls lore the way the Bethestard "fallouts" would wreck Fallout lore if they were canon (but they are not so it's fine).
But we haven't seen what they have planned for ES6 yet.

>>528656240
Oblivion is still my fave TES though. Just after it's fixed with multiple mods that disable the level scaling almost all together. Certain areas will have stronger enemies instead of every single rat and scamp leveling up with you. One other major issue with oblivion was leveled quest rewards. Really no point to turn in a quest at level 5 if you can turn it in at level 15 for the same reward but with better enchantments. Also leveling up in both Morrowind and Oblivion is incredible dumb system. After you know how it works you will inadvertently begin to min max your levels so your attribute bonuses don't get wastes.

This can luckily all be fixed with mods. Just need to find one for oblivion that either marks actually relevant caves and ruins differently on the map so or gets rid of 80% of the filler dungeons.

My favorite game is Oblivion and I think the plot of it is also not very well implemented. The Oblivion crisis was already forshadowed since at leat Redguard or Battlespire or even Daggerfall. One npc in Morrowind is even saying something like soon the gates of Oblivion will soon open and everything will be destroyed. I think the basic ideas of it were good, the apocalypse after the emperor dies, the bastard heir as the last hope, the detroyed city of Kvatch and a hero and a hero who liberated it but the implementation could be a lot better. I've heard that there was an idea of having the other sons survive and be revealed that they were actually replaced by Jagar Tharn's daedra and the protagonist had use some torch to see their real bodies and to expose them. Skyrim's civil war plotline was heavily cut from what was originaly planned for it.

>being into bands and defining their personality through their favourite music
was seriously disastrous and not a healthy expression of natural, wholesome or Volkish savoir vivre. These subcultures were mostly kosher ways to deal with and corrupt youth.

Movies only work if you have a unifying culture and politicians/rules/elites who put you first. Again, this is where NS wins every time. In the west, however, movies and shows were the main vehicle of memes. The few things we definitely learned by now is that this cultural supremacy we grant jews without a struggle will lead to mass degeneracy.

I agree that books and arts are great. But that's too little. We have to include games because they naturally attract children and high IQ people.

BF3 was only good because its predecessor BF2 was among the most played shooter games world wide next to CS 1.6 and made alot of money/fame over that period, while factually BF3 was step back to infantry close combat which defies idea of having war like tactical 64/64 battleground.

Then go play Daggerfall where you can enjoy the wonders of spending 3 hours walking in a straight line from location to location.

Don't forget to install the mod to remove the minimap so you can be le epig gamer who is very smurt like ur morrowind game

>>528657662
Wait, they did? Mine works with release drivers, ill try legacy drivers thanks didnt know that

It's not about too much content, it's about the content being empty content. I play oblivion without fast traveling, so I can actually explore the world. You run through some field and there is legitimately a cave every 20 meters. First of all that's unrealistic as fuck and breaks immersion. Show me a real place with such a concentration of cave systems. Secondly after you cleared 3 caves in a row and found nothing but levels loot you will just begin to skip all the caves because the chances are there's absolutely nothing of worth in there. It's just a copy paste of the previous one you explored with the same leveled enemy list and same leveled loot list. In Morrowind there was a slight incentive to explore the 50th Ancestral tomb because you just might find something unique.

I would much prefer there be like 20 hand crafted locations with some actual purpose or unique setting than 500 caves with 3 trolls, 6 rats and a leveled loot chest at the end.

>just realized the 10 series is almost 10 years old
fuck man

>>528657668
>killing zombies

Sounds cringe.. is it open world? can I become a freelancer / madmax lonewolf where i hunt/escape/level up ? Shooting at zombies again and again is boring tbqh

>>528657682
why?

>>528654450
How did you find Morrowind challenging? The suicidal AI alone removes all sense of danger.

>>528657838
isn't that what you play games for? fun?

>>528657679
It forgot it was an RPG and didnt even try to seem like one

Also the story is pants on head retarded. Save your son or nuke everyone. Why? Because that's just how it is ok you wouldn't understand if I told you. There's no depth at all and all of the factions and characters are caricatures

>>528657668
L4D (1) was better. Could be due to nostalgia reasons, though I doubt it.

>>528657914
farmvile is boring though not fun.Maybe fun for a 12yo girl

>>528657300
White males don't write feminist slop. That's why.

I recommend a deathless run and if you like on max difficulty. I had fun experimenting until I got it right.

>>528656504
I agree with what you say about early strategy games helping me develop planning ahead and organisational skills as a kid.
For work, I run some pretty complex system shit these days and I hear a lot of "I could never do what you do" and "I don't even know where I'd start trying to do that". And although I am also a mathsfag, there are many elements to it that really aren't so different to being organised and effective in old school games like Warcraft 2, Civilisation and the criminally under-rated Imperialism.

It's such a mystery. I just hope we can discover the reason before it's too late but where do you even start..

>>528657967
then go play fun games

>>528653227
Not even a top 5 2011 game.

>>528657838
You get to be a Coomer zombie and smash the enemy team with your death grip fist. It requires lots of teamwork over pure skill

>>528658017

Games went to shit because they started making them for you.

>>528658017
I've played them already a decade ago, now i'm waiting for better games/times. New elder scrolls will be released before 2030 i've heard.

>>528653227
It will come back now that AAA is dying and Indie take over smaller companies become a bigger and make hits again then they get corrupted etc... it's a cycle.

>>528657421
Because the devs use unnecessarily complicated processing pathways and algorithm options to achieve simple effects and simple shading at great expense.
32-bit shading on a shadow when 16-bit shows the exact same perceivable gradient. Double the processing for no benefit. Just one example that may occur in other games.
MSAA is better at antialiasing than TAA and DLSS, but it has a bad reputation from some devs doing unnecessary work, slapping MSAA into the pipeline and then wondering how it all got ugly.

shit in one hand, and hope in the other, see which one fills up first

>>528658040
it's too repetitive and boring ,also i don't want wom*n in my team,can i avoid that or the script forces me?

>>528658114
I'm not indian..so i don't understand your metaphor

>>528657152
Shitty level scaling in RPG's is the worst game design. The whole point of an RPG is to gain levels and go from scrub to hero, and as a hero you are supposed to outlevel the scrubs of the world and be a menage to weak monsters. That's the heroic power fantasy. Beowulf isn't so easily defeated by the Grendel and even when he fights Grendels dragon mom he doesn't die until after the fight is won. A glorious heroic death with purpose.

If you get to a high level and suddenly every rabbit in the field is a level 99 Vorpal bunny of insta-kill's knights with a single bite, then it becomes no fun, because you are now a scrub in better looking equipment getting your ass kicked by the same bunny from the noob zone in the start of the game.

>>528658117
Rochelle and Zoey are honorary Aryans. If you mean people barely any women play it.

>>528658152
you're just bitching to bitch nigger, if video games don't make you happy, go do something else with your life, don't be mad when you see anons on here enjoying games
also, indians shit in the street, not in their hands, if you don't get the metaphor, you're just fucking hopeless and retarded, no wonder why you can't enjoy video games that aren't mickey mouse clubhouse adventure time

>>528657971
Buy the self published books from white men so publishers have to change

Check out Major Arcana. Its on Kindle unlimited and it frigging funny and has thr hilarious thing about pronouns

>>528658275
I meant female characters.. do they speak? i don't want to hear them screaming and talking back to me or hear their opinions at all.

>>528653227
Games peaked earlier as art and downfall started lot earlier, game development takes time and same applies to all decisions in said development. Games got dumber because gaming and sales grew despite games getting dumber. Whole industry grew. Early 2010's is when the bottom fell off from AAA games.

If we look at sales of PS2 and original xbox huge xbox and PS3 and xbox360 sales numbers and game sales. Xbox sold 25 million units, PS2 sold 160 million units, but that is anomaly on itself as console remained in production for insane amount of time as cheap console for kids. Top selling game for xbox was Halo2, with 8 million sales. For PS2 that was GTA: San Andreas with 17 million sales. Both PS3 and xbox360 shipped bit under 90 million units, top selling game on both consoles was GTA5 with about 25 million sales on each platform.

>>528653351
There are still diamonds in the rough, mostly on indie side of things. AAA gaming industry isn't interested in making good games, they are interested in making money.

In 90's and 2000's games improved, because games were doing shit that was simply not possible earlier. Once gaming became mainstream hobby, we have only gotten same shit over over again with improved graphics and game made dumber with each iteration.

>>528653351
Expansion, optimization, and efficiency breeds low effort slop.

>>528658279
> don't be mad
I'm not mad,it is impossible for me to be mad because I only play singleplayer games so i'm chill

>>528658378
you have indicated thus far that is not the case, and you can't prove it otherwise, i doubt you even 'play' video games, and single player games are for scrubs that have no skill, you fucking talentless trash player, thanks for padding my stats, uninstall anytime, and come back if you want some more ass kicking nigger

>>528658090
Some people want to play different kind of games, not play the same map 24/7 and them jumping from a joy that you found 2 pixel better hideout, because now you can use that sweet 3ms lag better than that other place.

>>528658347
The character will say "pipe bomb" if they throw a pipe bomb. There's no trace of feminist writing if that's what you mean.

>are for scrubs that have no skill
No need for skill if i don't play it. I like being chill and happy when playing games ,can't let my cortisol spike for nobody

>>528658494
I'm quite confused about your posts. You suggest anon to play farmville because he likes games that are fun, while you apparently play some sweaty multiplayer games. Are you also suggesting these games are not fun, the ones you play? Then next you claim that you indeed have fun because you play with some Brazilians and Indians in a CS GO lobby. Although you're posts suggest that playing games causes you great stress.

Pro tip: playing video games is inherently casual and passive hobby. If you got sicked into the the "competetive" aspect of gaming, then all I can say is lol.

>>528658561
Yes. Fallout 4 got skyrimed kek.

>>528658694
Fallout 4 was the biggest dissapoint in my life since the birth of my son

>>528658687
judging on the response time and bad grammar, you're spiking your cortisol over this thread, and being chill and happy is simply something your not physically capable of unless you're already missing some chromosomes

>I hate QoL improvements that allow me to play games for fun (bad) instead of wasting time le navigationing (because it make me feel SMURT!)

FYI fag. I play mostly Grand Strategy. You are a downright pleb to me.
