As someone has commented in one of my posts, GAMES HAVE PHYSIOGNOMY.
I don't care how much you've been waiting for this Roguelike and how incredible you think it is, my dude, the thumbnail got me instantly uninterested.

@Suzu Every fucker that "reviews" these indie games now have these stupid titles, they seem to be very excited for every indie game in existence, also, all of them are their favorites and all of them are incredibly innovative and a breath of fresh air.
Fucking Tales & Tactics looked interesting as an autobattler, and then I saw THE CREATURES and not the monsters you get, no no.
Before, Splattercatgaming had titles that would tell you the title of the game and the genre, but that wouldn't get as much traction, so now everything's a masterpiece that redemeed gaming as a whole, that he has waited for for all his life to release.

@Lavaearth @Suzu There are "women" as well in my picture if you can believe it. :wat:
-
@Immahnoob @Suzu -Top picture: ugly women
-This picture: faggy men
Just Concord indies...

@Immahnoob heh, speaking of faggot "indie game review Youtubers" and stupid titles for any game, there is also this:
Between this and him sperging about the Soulash developer being based, Wanderbots reached ActMan levels of faggotry.
-
@Suzu Yeah, I've actually seen his video on Tales & Tactics, he even deleted someone's Youtube comment and the guy asked him, he said this shit.
Also, LA CREATURA or MA'AN.
-
@Suzu @Immahnoob Didn't he also take down his Palworld videos over unfounded rumours of Palworld stealing Pokemon assets? And stuck to it even after the were proven false?
-
@Ronnie21093 @Immahnoob yes, he made a "community note" and everything.
Someone's calling him out in the comments of this video about that.

@Immahnoob @Suzu EL MADAMO

@hakui @birdulon oh yeah, absolutely.
I mean, I was shilling a game called Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum here the other day, and their aesthetic choices are... interesting, to say the least.
I think I start to agree with a philosopher friend I have who says that "woke is anything I don't like". In the end, you can split the "weak aesthetics/bad graphics" in two camps:
- it is bad due to a limitation (the system it was designed for/technology doesn't allow for better graphics, or there is no budget to hire an artist, so we end with "programmer art", or something of the sort)
- it is intentionally done so with the objective of reaching a certain aesthetic
I like it or not, games I enjoy like DDS are in the same camp as these disgustingly ugly games like the one mentioned in my OP or others I have complained about lately: the aesthetics are like that intentionally.
Now, I can try and rationalize it anyway I want. I can say that "well, DDS is like that because it tries to convey a retro aesthetic that has a touch of inhumanity and creepiness/horror because that's the vibe it's going for, while these other ugly games are being done that way because their developers are ugly woke people". Which is true, but it's pretty subjective, and it's hard, if not impossible, to prove intentions in something like that.
So, in the end, it boils down to "I like it?". And turns out that whatever is in that thumbnail doesn't appeal to me. The same way the ugly green haired with a side shave woman that was in another game I complained about doesn't appeal to me.
Of course, the things that don't appeal to me all have some faint thing in common. A smell of "woke", if you like. Or, as you put it, "people who embody ugliness inside, outside, and in target audience". But that's something hard to categorize, you can only "feel" it.
-
@Suzu @hakui @birdulon The thing is Suzu, just because something can't be 100% objectively and categorically explained, that does not mean it does not exist. "Woke" has pretty identifiable patterns though, unlike some other "gut feelings". Nobody hits the "woke" aesthetic from limitations, it just can't be possible.
-
@birdulon @Suzu ryukishi art and zun art comes to mind
-
@Suzu That's a good way of putting it. There are good games with poor-quality art, weak aesthetics, "bad graphics", etc., but that's excusable and distinctly different from something that embodies ugliness inside, outside, and in target audience.

@Suzu
>"Roguelike"
>Does not base gameplay on a grid
>gameplay is not turn-based
>Is not an RPG in any sense, let alone the right sense
>there are no classes and other fixed professions
>You don't even get the benefit of semi-interesting action
Reminder that these faggots and other soy indie enjoyers are the ones that ruined the word "roguelike" in the first place, in the middle of last decade.
-
@SuperSnekFriend, yeah ¨Roguelike" is a term that was completely butchered and means absolutely anything nowadays.
-
@Suzu @SuperSnekFriend I'm so mad about this. Roguelite used to be the accepted term then is suddenly changed for no reason.
-
@Suzu @hakui @birdulon theres is Indeed a remarcable difference between something woke and something that is not pretty due to limitations
Just look at infernax, artwise it's not the Best looking but it doesnt quite trigger the gag réflex that something like dustborn may
-
@Suzu
Same applies to shows. You want me to believe that show with a faggy artstyle isn't gonna be faggy in its content too?
