DICKS ARE FUNNY, JUST LIKE FARTS!

The UK should revoke citizenship of any british that turns into Kwa "humour"...

My nephew started playing Saints Row 3 the other day, he fell into a fit of laughter when he started the Horde Mode ("whorde mode" in game), because your starting weapon is the dildobat. "HAHAHAHAHA THATS A PENIS". I think it looks funny too, but he was almost crying at the physics of the purple dong.

Maybe it's not a matter of nation, but age group. The SR devs know that at least half the fans of GTA clones are kids, so they include this kind of more simple lulz to satisfy those players.

I am not the target market for these kinds of games. I would prefer some kind of open world noir detective/PI game. Searching for clues would organically lead you to places without having to use cut-scenes or gimmicky missions. Bonus points if the main 'quest' is never explicitly stated.

@kat_chastain This makes me think of Arcanum: of Bullshit and Way Too Long Title, playing a Half-Ogre. Kinda depressing, really.

My eyes are filling with admiration.

Do you remember when this thread was about games? Me neither.
My post was definitely about games. First she talks about why Bloodlines is shit. Then it's why Shadowrun Returns is shit. Followed by why fantasy RPGs are shit. With a bonus dig at Arcanum.

Yet you posted it in a "laugh at idiots" thread. Also it's not really about games, but about social justcie, using games incidentally as an example.

Is it ironic that most of the twitter stuff you paste is a horrid despiction of people with mental illnesses?

Being fucking stupid is a disability now?
Mental retardation is disability. Many mental illnesses are too.

Thought I wonder what kind of ableism drives her to push for erasure of mentally retarded and mentally ill people from games. Maybe she should check her privilege?

It's about depiction. In low-int runs of Fallout and Arcanum or Malk runs in Bloodlines you're supposed to laugh at the dialogue your stupid character is saying.

played a very low int fallout game a while ago and there's this little conversation in the hub:

so... the character might actually just be pretending to be a babbling fool... playing a role if you will

The only way to be safe is to make everybody equal in each and every way. In other words, make a Sawyer game.

I mostly facepalm at the malk dialogue in VTMB since it's basically the same thing but lolsorandumbxD

Man, you have some hate for that game.
