This reminds me of the game Lunacid. It has mandatory pronoun selection at the beginning and there are like 20 of them. Every NPC refers to you only by name so the pronoun selection was put in specifically to annoy gamer chuds and I’m all for it
I heart Lunacid
It has the absolute perfect vibe. I tried getting into Dread Delusion but it was too tedious for me. I need more King’s Field-likes.
So true, Lunacid is the most vibe game ever
And, if I remember right, it defaults to they/them lol
That game sounds awesome
Putting on mongolian throat singing and playing my horseman mail delivery simulator.
Sounds like a less pompous and more grounded Death Stranding. Sounds great!
I’m into it but I’m very fucking pissed we got Horse Stranding before Bicycle Stranding
What’s the setting for bike stranding?
- Think Last of Us, 50:50 on the not-zombies, crucially, everyone didn’t fucking forget bicycles existed
– possibly also STALKER or METRO-like setting
But honestly pick any. Anywhere there is fuel scarcity bicycles would make sense.
Dangers and challenges include those fucking “goat head” thorns that pop tires.
Dude. Those fucking things. You know they can lay dormant for like a decade+ in the soil? The devil made those things. Ho hum just pulling weeds and five inches under the soil one of those fuckers goes straight through my glove and right into the tip of my finger under the nail. Basketball rolls off the court into the weeds by the school, pick it up and throw it back, friend that catches it screams because one of those fuckers hitched a ride and slammed into his palm at 25 miles per hour. All true stories from my life.
What the fuck they’re literally wooden caltrops, those are from satan
I think Death Stranding is the best bicycle touring game out there so I’d propose instead of RNG tyre pop you just go with the footwear (tyres) that go bad insanely fast
- Think Last of Us, 50:50 on the not-zombies, crucially, everyone didn’t fucking forget bicycles existed
Paperboy 2
Forklift stranding or bust
It sounds like the best parts of RDR2 - they’ve taken out all that annoying combat to focus on hanging out with your horse!!!
Holy fuck yes it does
Notice how 99% of the time, anyone who replied negatively was pathetic enough to pay for twitter 🤔
I need to know the origin of this gif.
TV show called Power Rangers in the west

They really, really think that Concord failed because of Woke huh?
At some level, that these anti-“woke” g@mers are effectively apologizing for and distracting from the things that are actually a problem with the industry right now annoys me more than the bigotry. No no, don’t be complaining about microtransactions and live service and season pass models and paint-by-numbers hero shooters, the problem is woman with spunky hair cuts in vidya.
I think one of the primary reasons why I didn’t become a chud is that I came to a very important realization
Not everything is for me, and that doesn’t mean that it’s stupid or woke, it’s just not something that fits my taste
The pipeline from
13th century Mongolia with no combat? Sounds lametoThey're ruining video gaming with woke pronouns and femoid gaysis actually more like a water slideThey weren’t going to play the game anyway unless they were going to make a Youtube video about it where they rage about it while wearing sunglasses and swigging whiskey while being as emotionally constipated as possible.
Rage is an emotion sweaty (that one smug emoji idk how to do them in this app)
Edit:
🍸
There's not even giant crabs to fight
These people don’t actually like or respect games, they like being catered to.
Yep
They think they’re like some Lorenzo De Medici rich art patron
They’re just hogs at the trough
These losers would suffocate the most diverse and potential-filled medium we’ve ever created, like a bunch of stuffy monks who think novels aren’t “real books.”
these people sure have a very limited set of games they can play now aint it
They’re playing the games anyway and their steam accounts prove it.
They just don’t count the ones they like. Baldurs gate 3 is the prime example.
The most
gate pandering game imaginable was “Subverse,” which was crowdfunded by gaters and even advertised directly to them. It was a waifu harem porn game in space with a vague gameplay loop and no “politics” in a way that’d upset gaters.They apparently found it boring and it didn’t really make a splash.
sometimes i wonder how these dorks would react if they opened up an english grammar book, seeing as how they keep freaking out at the mere existence of a vital part of every language in the world
i wonder if in the future there will be a reich-wing dialect of english where it just gets rid of pronouns altogether from the parts of speech and the english language because oOgA bOoGa ProNouns sCaWy… somehow. and replace them with nouns/names.
The thing that pisses me off endlessly about this is that they act like they’re mad about the concept of pronouns, which makes them look like childish morons, but what they’re actually angry about is the idea that someone has a say over how others are to refer to them. Just say that!
but what they’re actually angry about is the idea that someone has a say over how others are to refer to them.
I think they’re just mad trans people exist, and pronoun selection reminds them of that.
It fits with their bullshit about wanting non-political games. Their politics are fueled by hatred, and it infects their escapist treats to be reminded of the mere existence of minorities and trans people.
Take this further, many of them probably wouldn’t think of trans people as real people if it wasn’t for their representation in media. That’s why they take the fight to the treat factory.
Chuds with an unfortunately wide overlap with weebs (chanlords, mostly) are obsessed with what they call (CW: transphobic weeb word)
spoiler
“futas”
in their hentai treats yet at the same time seem to violently hate actual living trans people. It’s as confusing to me as their obsession with anime characters with vibrantly colored hair while also violently hating living women that dye their hair.
Right, and those dehumanizing portrayals are challenged by nuanced and positive portrayals in media which is why the chud brain must reject any representation. Honestly, media in general plays such a huge role in shaping social attitudes towards a less visible minority group such as trans people. I’m glad Hexbear anti-treat thought guides us to a dialectical understanding of this issue
you know this bozo wouldn’t play the game unless his character and his horse had DDD booba, jiggiling boobily in customizable matching leather and polished silver string bikinis.
What about the horses pronouns?
I hope they add neigh/nem just for the blue check chuds lol
E: neigh, not nay
Sticking it to the neighsayers.
It takes 120 hours of developer time for each pronoun, making the game more expensive for everyone 😔
They’re manually typing out every string with different pronouns, like
SHE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "She has the fastest horse." HE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "He has the fastest horse." THEY_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "They have the fastest horse." ZIE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "Zie has the fastest horse."FRENCH_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = “Zie has zie fastest horse hohohoh~”
from woke import pronouns
Actually adding the pronoun takes 30 seconds. The rest of the 120 hours is scrolling Hexbear
I’m reporting you for woke time theft
spoiler
let’s look over those time charts
this is truly going to be the decade of chill mail and package delivery games
Hideo Kojima started it lol
There’s 7 hours of cutscenes in Death Stranding and one is more than half an hour long. Let the man make films so we don’t have to plod through mocap anymore
I still remember playing Metal Gear Solid 3 for the first time as a kid, and the game started with a half hour long cutscene and history lesson combined with alt history. You legitimately do not touch the controller for the first 20+ minutes. It was a cool concept to set up the story, but I certainly can understand why people dislike it.
“Whenever someone writes me about this ending-averse cynically nihilistic grimdark and murderfucky sword slop I kill a Stark”
“For every comment whining about DEI in my Mongolian courier rider game I will add one extra pronoun”
