speaking of games, did you know no paradox game permits you to start as the serbian empire? the latest start date in crusader kings 2 is 1337, 9 years before its foundation, and the earliest start date in europa universalis 3 is 1399, 28 years after its dissolution. conspiracy.

i guess you wouldn't understand that, considering it seems like you've never dedicated yourself to anything at all



A fair criticism my friend, somewhat undermined by the fact it’s in defence of video games.

But no I take your point, irony is the gilded cage of those who’ve come to etc. etc, i’ll get right on it

No he’s right……I’m adrift at the bottom of the world, a man out of time and place

If only I had my own Serbia to dream and die for

i haven't played video games in years, and there's a lot more productive and rewarding uses of anyone's time. but let's be honest here, you're not doing any of those either

Yeah but sometimes it’s fun to be annoying and dramatic right? Even if I don’t play video games I’ve noticed a lot of very intelligent posters here do so fair enough.

It’s more of a general cultural criticism because of how toxic all that call of duty, Medal of War bullshit is.

Plus the idea of us and our peers living safe, healthy lives and escaping from that by participating in renditions of humanity’s biggest tragedies’ strikes me as somewhat morbid and ungrateful

Like if I went back to 1942 and showed my grandad that his decendents were fat, lazy and filled their days flitting in and out of battles that he experienced as a living hell, he probably would have said “well stone me dead and call me a galah! Fuck these little faggots I’m gonna join the japs!”

uh, ww2 vets were making war movies pretty much the second the war was over. even in the east, there was a shit ton of fucking ww2 movies. a lot of it was glorifying the battles in unrealistic ways. but fuck, it seems a lot of them preferred that those simplified narratives some "gritty", "realistic" shit, which didn't start coming out till much later i believe.

listen, criticize games all you want from a variety of valid directions, but uh, considering your auto-biography, let's just say you finding anything but posting a chore isn't surprising.

Not quite sure how you extrapolate this from me stating I don’t like video games or TV.

I cherish the sun, the sea, my lovely girlfriend, my mum, my dad, books, your mum, movies…

Maybe it’s just that video games are like weed: they’re both all good but “gamer culture” and “weed culture” tend to grate

Also I think those movies of the time may have had a touch more legitimacy because they were viewed and appreciated by an audience who were more likely to have experienced genuine sacrifice on an individual or communal level.

I think a tactical shooter about being the raf is kind of pointless since they were really bad at tactical shooting and most of what they did was not tactical shooting.

that said I remember playing a "game" which was a series of dialog boxes some dude hacked together in vb, and you were supposed to be stalin orchestrating the first four or so five year plans. I think a game that was actually about different types of economies, like victoria 2 without kludgy weird shit would be super cool.

all games are boring

therefore just make a game about production chains and nothing else, like just about checking wage levels and location of resources and tax laws state control over those taxes ability to transfer capital ability to invest capital etc etc etc

then nothing else at all

then it will only take 10 minutes and it will be socially useful

anything that requires staring at a screen for longer then that probably causes school shootings or something or at least becoming mega dork

i know you're trolling but you know that their next game coming out is called "Serbia: The Empire of Dreams" and is a game that centres on serbia and also includes a free pimsleur serbian language cd.
