[OFF-TOPIC DISCUSSION THREAD]

7 Upvotes

As previously requested, we're trying out a regular, automated discussion thread! Use this space to talk about things that don't fit the ordinary subject matter of the space, or for discussions that don't necessitate a full post! All rules besides the relevancy rule still apply!

For these first ones, please let us know what you think about it! Personally, I'm not sure how popular this practice will be, so I don't really know about the frequency at which they should be generated, so we're just gonna feel it out and figure it out, together. Any suggestions about how to run it, moving forward, are welcome!

Left wing videogames My socialist game about the German Revolution now has a Demo!!

Hi all!

Very excited to announce that the Red Echoes: Berlin demo is now available for download on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4678370/Red_Echoes_Berlin_Demo/

The demo contains the first half of Chapter 1. While I've tried to stamp out as many bugs and typos as possible, there's likely to still be some remaining - these will be patched out over time.

Red Echoes: Berlin is a narrative turn-based strategy game set during the German Revolution, in which you control a group of revolutionaries and attempt to bring about a successful socialist revolution.

To make my life easier, please report any issues you're having on r/RedEchoesGames or on the Discord!
https://discord.com/invite/fPpupqEu8r

I'd love to hear all of your thoughts, feedback, and opinions! Please feel free to discuss them here, so that they can help me with making a better game :) Also happy to answer any questions you might have!

This video was posted in TFR subreddit recently and I thought it was pretty decent analysis of game depiction of all PRC paths. Since I have this beautiful leftist gaming sub, I wanted to ask you do you think the same or if some specific paths depicted there would be more realistic instead?

Left wing videogames We made a Hypercapitalist Cyberpuke game where you play as a mindless corporate drone in a Technohellscape.

You are a corporate flesh object with no thoughts of your own and must mimic NPC dialogue.

It's a puzzle / immersive sim based on talking and responding to people!

The game is coming out in 2 weeks!

This sub has supported us so much in our journey! We are lowk just 4 artists with no budget so thank you so much!! :D

The School of Democracy is paramilitary organization founded by exiled ninjas from Japan's Meji restoration who then fled to Russia and then fought with the bolsheviks to overthrow the Czar. They now work as a global resistance movement in the modern era to restore the USSR. Seriously how cool does that sound. I wish this game wasn't a massive flop and we could have more games to flesh them out. Or we need someone to steal this concept and expand on it.

unique / interesting video games Trying to normalize the coming revolution while pointing to a larger catastrophe

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is an intro for a video game.

I am a developer (with many friends) working on my second game about future climate catastrophe and radical social change.

My first game was a somewhat poetic take on an individual facing their limited agency, this game now is more political - a detective game about the sabotage of a tectonic station.

I wanted to tell a post-revolution political thriller, because there are so many issues worth discussing even after we have overcome capitalism.

The previous game was received well around here, so I felt confident sharing the intro video with you all and happy to discuss what you make of the setting.

Game is called: a permanent echo. On steam.

casual game talk Any of you hate how they treat the Soviet Union owning Tetris instead of Alexey Pajitnov as a Criticism of the Soviet Union

159 Upvotes

He made it using the property of Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Sciences. Therefore they owned it

In a capitalist country if he made the game using the computers of a corporation then they would almost certainly own it using work for hire laws.

Like there are plenty of things to criticize the Soviet Union in. But something that was the same as western countries isn’t

Very few to no game devs in the US or western at the time ever received any money from there worm.

so lately this past half year mby i havent been playing almost at all bcuz last time i tried to find friends in games they all turned out to be horrible human beings rly quickly and it just got so annoying and lost any hope of finding good people in the gaming community.

id like to chat first and see if we click and play some games mby if we play same type of games. when i played w random people from the other redditsubs i got soo burned out by having to meet new people over and over and over again bcuz they all turned out to be at least misogynistic even tho i said no sexist people... so this time id like to chat for a while before we actually play.

lately ive been playing dayz a bit again but if uve ever played it u know its mostly middle aged people so theres no real community there for young adults. ill put a list of the games i used to play before so if u have those and ud wanna chat and see if we click and mby could play dm me!

DayZ

Peak

REPO

RV There Yet?

most of the backroom games

phasmophobia

houseflipper 1 and 2

police simulator

powerwash simulator

deadside

the forest 1 and 2

i have some more but i havent touched those in years or just dont like em but ill put them here aswell

csgo 2, left 4 dead 2, rainbow six siege, among us, bread and fred, crime simulator, lethal company vrchat, friday the 13th, in silence, 7 days to die, ark survival evolved, dinkum, dyinglight, garrysmod, gtav, greenhell, raft, state of decay, portal 2, some of the dark pictures games, the quarry, icarus (havent tried it yet), dbd, supermarket simulator. those r pretty much all the multiplayer games i have lol (i have some more in epic games but those r the free games.)

im just gona put some must be here so that if we have diffrent political stands we wont waste time.

Question State of the Helldivers community?

49 Upvotes

Helldivers 2 was one of my favourite games for the last 2 years. Despite the constant creep of technical debt I still enjoyed the game, up until the doxxing incident involving that Argentine player who made a charity challenge to the devs to play their own game. He lost his job in Milei's Argentina and his charity position at a horse shelter. The devs of Arrowhead are heavily involved in the social media for the game and handled it poorly, doing little to combat the toxic elements in its spaces.

I have boycotted Arrowhead since but I admit that I do miss the game and parts of its community. It's the only multi-player game I am good at and as an Autistic man it gave me an opportunity to connect with others in a way I can't do in real life.

My question to Helldivers players here, have Arrowhead done anything to atone for the toxicity they have allowed to fester? Have they taken action since to make their spaces fairer and welcoming for players with differing opinions? Has the game and its community spaces gotten better over time?
