i'd contest that there's no danger to vaping - if you're not getting your stuff from a state/country/whatever where it's legal it's probably filled with stuff far worse than even the most nefarious cigarillo. bonus hard points is taking a hit of something and it turns out to be a meth vape or whatever. there's always the chance you buy a crappy battery and it just explodes in your face/pops when youre inhaling

not advocating anything btw, 13 year olds listen to your moms and the FDA

Imagine vaping, I prefer (INSERT RANDOM OBJECT HERE)

it might, most ASMR channels are just e-thots makin money that isnt going to the IRS

T-they help me sleep, honest.

[Albrenia]

People smoking near me literally triggers me.

By that I mean triggers my asthma.

Nonetheless that's my problem, not theirs so to each their own.

Edited to add the word "Smoking" because my sentence makes literally no sense with it not there and oh god how did I miss that.

ever heard of call of duty lol

Xbox Live in the 2000s was amazing. I learned every slur in the book and how to talk the best trash. They ban anybody remotely that freewheeling today. They couldn't stand the wild west.

I, too, miss bullying squeakers in game chat, and listening to my one angry friend wail like a banshee every time he died.

It was a much simpler time.

Video games are degenerate though.

We need to oppress gamers harder to be honest, but from the right-side of the issue. :^)

TBH Gaming becoming mainstream led to the introduction of identity politics, and even worse - Fortnite.

Oppressing them until things revert to a comfortable Pre-2014 level would be welcome.

Really, I'm not a fan of gaming but I can respect that people deserve to have their hobbies. They shouldn't shout the n-word at people when they're losing or whatever stupid nonsense they do but they probably don't deserve to get lectured by Anita Sarkeesian for eternity either. I'm mostly sticking up for gamers because I expect the SJWs'll come for my hobbies and interests at some point and they ruin everything.

Look, Dav, we don't need to know how you read Atlas Shrugged in a nasally voice to frat boys who ask if they're being detained as they're getting cuffed to pay rent. I'm not here to shame your profession. E-boy's gotta do what e-boy's gotta do.

So true. Integralism is the only viable alternative to the crumbling liberal political order.

Isn't Integralism a form of Fascism?

No, Catholic Integralism is not.

Critics like Hans Urs von Balthasar would consider it Opus Dei.

People who aren't white men being main characters in video games (i.e., """identity politics""") was something that happened prior to 2014. For example, the excellent Portal series featured a woman of color as the main character and a female person-turned-robot as the main antagonist (Portal) and secondary sort-of-protagonist (Portal 2).

Honestly, have you ever actually listened to Anita Sarkeesian? She's a really popular right-wing punching bag, but she actually has some good points if you listen to her real arguments rather than out-of-context clips in Thunderf00t videos. I don't entirely agree with everything she says, but she's much more reasonable than you'd think from listening to the popular discourse around her.

time to invite sarcastic remarks from zoomers: games was better in the late 90s

I tried once. Made it about 10 minutes in, but it was so vacuous and filled with nonsense (not in a good way) it was hard to listen to it.

So I can't say I have any kind of representative sample.

Games were largely low-poly trash in the late 90s. Their peak times were the mid-late 80s and they've been good since the mid-2000s, but the period in between was pretty blah. (I'm pretty selective about the video games that I like, to be fair. By "peak", I basically mean that there are more than 2 video games that I like from a particular era.)

That take is totally unsurprising, I'm more specifically asking Fahran.

I personally tend to prefer racist seven year-olds in CoD to the latter, if only because one embodies that "Wild West/Chaotic Fun" spirit, while the Feminist Frequency/Gaming Journalism/Pro-GG camp that emerged around 2014 reeks more of the "Moral Do-Gooder" variety, which I'd already always been against thanks to the dominance of Conservative and religious Parent groups and politicians for so long prior to their rise.

That said, I like to joke and romanticize that 2000's era of gaming, myself, but I do think that wanting to be vulgar and harass others out of anger, or for the sake of it, is silly.

And yeah, Gaming isn't the only hobby in recent years to be infiltrated by those types, whether Left or Right. It's become prevalent in tabletop gaming, comics, and even anime to a degree (in The West), although it's not been as big of an issue in anime IMO, since most anime fans (and Japanese companies) don't seem to cave to complaints of "problematic" things in their fandom, unlike the former examples.

Why be sarcastic about the truth though? :thonk:

That's most Vidya-Related videos in general though, hehehehe

"SJW's RUIN upcoming game with LIES"

And then they all start with ads for Raid: Shadow Legends

I mean, you could just get into guns, or tradwife instagram influencing. SJWs aren't going to campaign for greater inclusivity or whatever they yammer on about in that. They'll just yell about the evils of it in general.

Imagine just enjoying video games and blissfully tuning out all the dumb manufactured bullshit outrage.

You misunderstand your foe. There is a very good game out called Bannerlord. It is not made by wh*toids. It is made by diverse people of color. Except it has cool features like "execute enemy leadership" and "loot & pillage innocent village while you put the villagers to the sword" or "fight cool battle with 1000 AIs". This was unacceptable. They tried a pressure campaign but indie Dev Turks lol'd at the them. The social justice crowd was not content to dominate the political space, they sought to dominate our dream worlds too. The personal is political afterall. Suddenly shoved in were opposition to anything uncomfortable, chat rooms got neutered and anything controversial killed. It didn't end up selling more games though. Because this is the dominate religion, it will be followed regardless if it loses money or if a "diverse" crew of programers can manage to make things work. They have also gotten dumber over time. Before computers for a specialist crowd, now that the general public is in on it, games reflect what the public being dumb and stupid want. Dumb and stupid games. I only enjoy playing these days a mod still made by diehards. The rest of games are too easy.
