I don't understand what Cruelty Squad is trying to say
>>719847392Same as those young men's help youtubers telling you to cut your friends and family out of your life because they are only in the way.Essentially propaganda to mindbreak people into self sabotaging their lives in ways they can't comprehend until the effect has already set in and festered.
>>719847392Capitalism bad and gig economy worseNot that hard to decipher
>>719847392Violence is bad
>>719847392
>>719847392Criticizing capitalism and it's effect on the government, and the demonic nature of corporations. Police worship as well. Don't ask me about any of the gnosticism stuff, I don't care about it desu.
>>719847392that finns aren't alrightI would know
>>719847983This and also hitting people with toilets is really robust.
>>719848989Checked. Finns will lead us into a new vidya golden age in the future.
>MY LIFE SUCKS I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELFOr osmething like that
>>719847392Life is rough and kinda gay. Awesome very original game I enjoyed it a lot. Soundtrack is also amazing and very original.
>>719847392>Capitalism bad>therefore I will price my unfinished and barely playable indie game at 40 (forty) US dollarsSometimes I wonder if dissonance ever hits these post-modern nepobaby artists, probably not.
>>719847392Basically, you are a flesh automaton animated by neurotransmitters.
i never beat this game
>>719851138What it is with Silksong that makes indie devs seethe so hard?
I couldn't finish Trauma Loop, not everybody is unemployed
>>719851281Because unlike most indie devs, Team Cherry doesn't overestimate their own worth. The dev for Cruelty Squad released another game into early access for 40 bucks lmao.
>>719851138nah the game rules and idc what the dev says he made a good game either way
>>719851347Fuck that last part is spooky.
>>719847392>I don't understand what Cruelty Squad is trying to sayworld built by atheists will be ruled by demons.
>>719851556The Trigons were atheists?
dev is a drug addict and just made up some weird philosophy vaguely inspired by nick land and georges bataille. + 'capitalism bad' as mentioned earlier. but it's ugly in a way that's meant to look like a joke so don't take it too seriously
Its telling you to do drugs and shoot your landlord
>>719851660it's in human nature to find something to worship. people have made science their new church. trigons like everything else in cruelty squad are man made.
>>719847926You ignorant fool.
>>719851556>ruled by demons.sweet
>>719847392i hate the wave of "ugly-likes" this game spawned
>>719847392I don't really know but I'm very gay for the creator of the game
>>719847392The disparity of wealth and the commercialization of things people hold dear will eventually lead to the commercialization of life itself to the point where death as a concept becomes an unobtainable commodity.The game is called Cruelty Squad because humanity has state-mandated immortality to work forever, and 'killing' the targets in each of the missions is merely an act of spite or inconvenience. You're being cruel for the sake of it.
>>719849240>Checked. Finns will lead us into a new vidya golden age in the future.Finns' track record on games is really solid. Cruelty Squad, Noita, Zero Ranger, and Void Stranger are all solid
>>719847392love that gameits amazing how good it is at filtering unskilled midwits
Someone had made a Doom mod based on Cruelty Squad btw
>>719847392Because you're not a transexual zoomer poisoned by post-post-ironic brainrot memes purposely designed to turn you into a self-hating corporate drone that gaslit itself that it totally isn't one because [HEADCANON].
>>719847392I hate when games go like "Schizophrenia = flashy colors". It's not what it is like.
>>719860358This. A true "Schizocore" game would be one where you never know what actually is real and what is not
>>719851582POOPY RAPE!POOPY RAPE!
>>719860358True schizophrenia is bringing up schizophrenia even though it has nothing to do with the game.
>>719860601Schizophrenia is my superpower.
>>719860358Show us where did the game claim to be in any way related to schizophrenia, schizo bro
help me make a John Cruelty build for cyberpunk 2077
>>719860746Sneed
I'm still mad he didn't make PPR a shump. I guess Angel of Dusk exists but that's more Japanese talk about contraceptives being evil.>>719851728Land absolutely abuses Bataille and I'm glad that in CS that the fruits of of early Land are shown to be useless and just as self serving.I love Bataille, and Baudrillard was the only true ally he had. >>719860438There was a Russian dude who made his own schizo sim, since he suffered from it and by golly the game is extremely disorientating. Worth finding if you can.>>719860358If you want to take the cont philosophy version of schizophrenia though, Cruelty Squad at least attempts it eith the controls on a fundamental level.
>>719847983I got a lot of this>>719854702I didn't get a lot of this. Weren't most of the targets like CEOs or political enemies and the like? Thought you were just a regular hitman-for-hire. And if immortality is bad because the state is just making you work, why is the organ black market so profitable?
>>719847392it literally spells it out for you during the death ending with Bataille quote
Due to advances in technology, you can’t die anymore—so the value of life has cratered. Everything else spirals from there: a hit job is basically a slap on the wrist for missing your corpo’s quarterly numbers. Everyone’s gambling on high-volatility stocks, because how else are you supposed to scrape together a million for a house?If you didn’t get the true ending, I can’t help you. This is an >112 IQ game.No one in this thread has actually played it btw. I pity the life where you need a wiki, a Steam page, or some YouTube essay to “play the game.” No wonder you hate everything.
it depicts a world in which the value of life is negative, if you think a little about the ramifications of such a world things start to fall into place - for any gaps that need filling there's the wiki>>719850037which according to him has already sold enough to fund the rest of development and then some>>719847926it's crazy how confidently you guys will blurt out shit that has nothing to do with anything lmao
>>719847926My family really fucking sucks, though. My dad is a meth addict, my mother is a Schizo and she says she's Jewish, and my sisters only talk to me when they want money.
>>719860965>There was a Russian dude who made his own schizo sim, since he suffered from it and by golly the game is extremely disorientating. Worth finding if you can.Do you mean Milk inside a bag of milk?
CS was fun, but what about the other game
