Decline How the Codex stopped being a site for the free discussion of RPGs

[Konjad]

RPGWatch focuses on discussing RPGs, yes, but you forgot to mention that only mainstream RPGs. Good luck finding there anyone who even played Prelude to Darkness, The Void, Precursors or Pathologic.

good luck trying to find anyone here. just look at first page and page count in threads in general rpg subforum.

I find aplenty of people here, never you though.

I say this as a friend, but you need to move on from this. You are way too overinvested in this drama. Whenever I check this thread (or the woke list) you are brawling with people for no purpose.

I know this seemingly means a lot to you, but the Codex isn't going to change in the way you want.

You've already made your point multiple times, and at this point, it isn't healthy.

You are overprotective of your queen, m'lord. She just wants to have fun

I moved on really. You are having it completely wrong for me talk about rpg here is a waste of air. I have some friends here as well but i also have contacts with them outside the codex. I joined the codex to talk about rpg's or games in general today codex is too much busy with lunatic culture war raving. I am fine believe me.

I played PtD probably more than a decade ago, but gave up due to bugs.

I know about Pathologic, but tbh it looked more like a survival horror game than an RPG, and kind of a boring one at that, so I never bothered. Not really much into horror games though tbh. You will probably find people here that love it though, yes. Not because we're such hardcore RPG fans, but because Russian jank and Euro jank are venerated by local Slavs - see Elex for more on this.

Asf's new build apparently makes the game pretty stable and fixes a lot of the common bugs. Might be worth giving it a go if you still wanted to play it.

Tacgnol, Meb is what we call a woman. They thrive on drama. They thrive on attention.

Attention or drama would have to be extremely negative, dangerous, annoying or (especially) unflattering for her to not view it as a net positive.

It's like you're telling a fish that she's getting an unhealthy amount of water.

Thanks for the info. I have to really be in the mood to play a horror game these days though. But an older game like this might be tolerable.

PtD and Pathologic horror games? Sure, they have a depressing mood but...

Eh. Call it what you want. But yeah, depressing is the word. It's all a bit tiresome for me at this point regardless.

I don't mind sombre/depressing settings, but I must admit, I'm getting a bit bored of grimdark.

I'm not clicking IGN links and don't care what those morons wrote

Just where I'm at in life. I'm older and tired. Just want a bit of escapism. There are some well-done lovecraftian stories I make an exception for occasionally though.

You can just read the link itself. It's from around when the game came out, so maybe that explains why I think of it as such.

IGN wrote it so it must be true.

And if anything, PtD with its setting of distrust and monsters (and one of the endings) does seem to be loosely based on Lovecraft stories or similar.

But why am I even barking at a tree, you filthy disgusting casual

Which is why I played it. Or tried to, until bugs killed it for me. This was probably sometime during the 2000s.

Well, it's all fixed now.

Thanks, but I prefer girls.

Don't lie. I know you're Polish.

Well, it's all fixed now.

And I said I might check it out.

Just because I'm a Pole you think I'd be gay? Friend, your trip to Warsaw experience wasn't a common Polish occurrence, it's just Warsaw.

 

[Infinitron]

Let me summarize my point of view. For many years, "real CRPGs" were a dead genre. Therefore, nothing that happened on this site actually mattered. Everybody could just let loose and have fun, dancing on the grave of their dead hobby.

But then CRPGs came back. Inevitably, the atmosphere on the forum shifted as the community geared itself toward anticipation and analysis of this new wave of titles. Not everybody was happy with that change. And some of them decided to blame the guy they felt was most responsible for putting it front and center.

"Stop posting about these games so much! Why is this megathread 500 pages long, how am I supposed to read this? You're not supposed to care this much! It's all popamole! It's all woke! NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
