Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Yeah yeah
Run the cables to the left speakers and I'll run the right
Where's your guy with the you-know-what
I want to be on it when the music is fuckin' hittin'
My burning, luminescent semen like lightning arcing against the sulphuric cloudscape
Tempted
Are there enough drugs for that

I mean
I would let mass effect 2 give me a handy, don't get me wrong
But it's still just porn
because they both suck, right?
It won't be because it takes time to ease the wider denomination of people into it. And if you don't have a large enough group of people willing to pay for something, that something doesn't get done or it doesn't remain viable past a point, like one title.
Games need to be made that can advance the genres they are in and introduce these kinds of things over time, to see what works and what doesn't and to see what the people are willing to pay for. Such is the sad reality of capitalism, but we deal with it. If we could do whatever we want for however long we want to make a sweet sandbox game and play with the mechanics, then by all means. But it's not going to happen for a long time yet. The Rift in this regard is just a stepping stone to larger things.
I want what you want too, Sarksus, but I am also trying to look at it from the view of where the industry is at right now, such as it is. In it's present state, it's nowhere near ready to implement this kind of technology at any good scale with a good budget anytime soon. More precedence is needed first to show it works and is fun and profitable. And that's where Star Citizen may be able to help.
I'm not saying it's a good thing but
It's difficult to find even fleeting physical love with a real person
It will be hard to find the motivation to take those leaps when you can put on your skin suit and have sex with three Nicki Minajes on the back of a dragon
If we can't do much better than Star Citizen ten years later then the industry will still be a mess. I don't think I'm optimistic by hoping the genre will eventually no longer be virtually stagnant. I'm not saying it definitely will, I think giving a timeline of a decade is pretty vague, I'm just saying I would be pretty disappointed if we didn't get to see a real virtual world thanks to the union of the Rift and good software.
What I'm saying is, I will be disappointed if the industry and its consumers can't jointly arrive at a point that is much further along than we are right now.
even bigger gap between celebrity and fandom
whole industries built around interacting with your fave celebs
gross
It's so smooth except for random terminal hairs.
Electrolysis is weird.
indie flesh artists hawking their wares on etsy
People selling 3d images of their bodies for virtual use
A room full of breathless Kate Uptons in my basement, perpetually on the brink of shrieking orgasm, undulating sensually in a vat of olive oil
if i don't do better next semester i'm contracting amfrony to shove pizza down my throat until i asphyxiate
sex workers already exist but I guess this would bring a post-fordist infoworker thing to their industry?
Then we agree, and I am hopeful that eventually we will get there. And I'll take Wildstar (which is without Rift) and Star Citizen (which has Rift) for now.
A key thing in getting there is just a matter of how we get money in the hands of devs (because screw publishers who meddle or rush things) and how those devs manage to execute the game without spending forever on it.
For the record, if I wrote porn it would be so insufferable
"In the sticky black ashes of western capitalism's funeral pyre, his hand slid between her legs"
Absolute objectification
And the makeup never smears unless you're into that
battlefield is fucked unless dice pulls a miracle out of their ass, they being content to hoover up the cash we spend on DLC and class unlocks because people would rather eat a dick swallowed by a poisonous snake than deal with their bullshit unlocks
the mmo genre has always been shit and still is
what other bullshit makes me mad at videogames
her clitoris throbbed and pulsed in the filth of her mound like a dancer in an abandoned sewage plant
spoilers for mad men and also the movie irreversible
I should also probably be in bed by now or something too.
Hahaha, porn/radical fantasy. I love it.
This is gross to me in precisely the same way homeschooling is gross to me
I remember that ship well...
Well, you're consigning yourself to being hog tied and thrown into the grinder if you join the industry proper, but if you can design and either program or do art then you can just do games for your own satisfaction and not touch the utter nonsense that dominates the industry
the dancer is the labia, the clitoris is the crack baby slithering out of her
There's something about the plausibility of that scene, plus knowing the character over time, that made it hit really hard
The movie scene made me physically ill though, just the brutality of it; I turned it off and lay down
Homeschooling here usually involves community cooperation and lots of social interaction for the kids
Solipsistic mega-porn is way more distressing
It is hardly my place to question Podly
but I have this embarrassing love of cheesy trance
I don't think I can handle 4 shows in one week, especially after Steven Wilson was a total disappointment tonight
when the indigo children come
I intend to do the art and design of mechanics and story both. Programming comes as much as is needed to talk to the actual code monkeys.
As for the industry, I have no idea yet how or when I'll get into it, but I know it's probably going to be inevitable if I want to try and make anything I have ideas for. I'm not much of an indie man. I like triple As and MMOs. Maybe I'll be able to tolerate cut corners here and there if the end result is good enough for my apparently lower bar aspirations.
That is more encouraging than the family I knew in TN who schooled their kids in this weird insular thing
Blah
Round up all the kids and throw them in public schools thought by unionized teachers to dilute how much any two parents canfucktheir kids up
