If anything, Josh showcases to us that the games he breaks or gets creatively chaotic in, are games we should avoid. Some of them anyways, like a lot of those awful simulator-based games. I don’t know why anyone in the world would think we would need simulator-based games on already menial IRL work. I would just get PTSD if I was forced to play those games like they expect me to.

Oh yeah, we seem to love them. There’s a lawyer for motorcyclists, I see it everytime I drive down the strip of road where I live.

Played it, beaten it. Gets a bit samey at times.

Data is a two way street. While we have data about the claims against violent video games causing violence, we also have data that contradicts the statement that venting aggression breeds further aggression.

You’re not going to come to me with this bullshit without any sources to cite your claims, then turn around and tell me to actually work on my shit.

You can fuck off. I think dumbasses like you, are also what contributes to making people violent, is knowing how utterly stupid people like you are.

It’s not just an AI problem.

You’ve pointed out the scalpers and speculators of the market. Are we going to do anything about them? No? It’s all just AI, right?

What good is it for the developers when they’re whipped by companies with unrealistic demands and people who’re strained from paying top-dollar for the games? It’s all just AI!

It’s a multi-pronged issue.

Just like preserving video games, since the video game companies only do it if it means to make another buck off of cheap nostalgic grab, we have to archive them.

If we don’t, then they will certainly be lost and we’ll have endless discussions of what-about their existences.

I don’t torrent, but I usually do DDLs. Some of them will require premium accounts for better speeds of course. Other times you’re relegated to just slow agonizing speeds that brings you back to those lovely days of Dial-Up!

I don’t like the idea of eating the rich.

They’re fat, probably not nutritious, makes you feel bad after eating them. Probably gives you cramps and constipation.

I prefer woodchipper method.

They also need to stop placating to people’s sexual desires. It’s been breeding people into believing sex is the penultimate goal of relationships and romance in general.

So now you’re just assuming everyone is a psychopath. Great. Wonderful.

Look, the best way to circumvent in handling stress is if there is people to help others differentiate reality and fantasy, teach them what right or wrong is. It all falls apart when someone does not get any of those things and they take their undisciplined and wild way of handling issues in wrong manners.

Normal people can tell a difference that ripping paper - it’s OKAY. Ripping people - NOT OKAY. Ripping virtual people that won’t criminalize you - it’s OKAY. Murdering actual people in real time - NOT OKAY.

You’re just not fun, dude. If you keep denying people outlets of their stress and basically just telling them to take it up the ass dry and do things that actually wouldn’t lower their stress levels, then you’re fueling the problem in ways you’re not fully understanding.

The fucking Yoga-like way in handling stress isn’t the answer to everything either.

You mean the Postal 3 beta? The one that got cancelled so bad that its copy was worked into Postal 2 in the junkyard part of a level?

I am watching Let’s Game It Out and Josh makes things a lot more creatively entertaining than I think I could do in the games he plays.

If Valve so badly doesn’t want to be responsible for moderating things on their own platform, then yes, they should be giving tools to the players to better self-moderate.

I’m envisioning it right now. The idea where someone sees a review of a game, negative or positive, adding nothing to what decision someone could have before buying a game. They can just close that review out and they’d never see it. It’d automatically block the person too, why not, their input isn’t valuable.

I didn’t know they got rid of the jester award until I checked today. I kinda wish we could just delete the awards such as them from our reviews that got flagged with those shitty things. I’d also take away the ‘funny’ marker too because I feel it adds nothing to reviewing games, it only enables the trolls and other shitty people from abusing it.

No, going to disagree here.

We’ve had this discussion many times over about what violent video games does with people. We’ve had it in the form of what the media decides to twist and falsely blame from the actions the individual does when there are other things at play.

Broken people are the ones who take the violence out from the digital realm of video games and apply it to real world. They are the ones who can’t manage their stress and anger levels regardless playing a game or handling a problem in person.

Yeah but what good is reporting when Valve themselves takes what feels like an eternity, getting down to dealing with just a few?

Eventually, they’re going to be faced with making one of two choices; Shut down the discussions board to a particular game for violating ToS or let it go unchecked for however long.

Reviewing generally anything should be a way to help beacon those who’re unsure as to whether or not they should bother spending their hard-earned money on something and time they’re not getting back.

They aren’t going to get anything out of XxNoLife42069xX’s “review” of a game when they splerg about things not related to the game.

Not satisfying enough.

The idea is to play a simulator where you can cause chaos from that.

Why’d you even bother to snip that line, to make yourself sound smart?

There’s already like hundreds and thousands of games where I can kill people in.

Must be a bold response from someone who presumably never took history lessons and learned about the history of that region. Educate yourself.
