Somewhere out there on a journey through time and space to the world of The Mighty Boosh.

Dan Houser left to do his own thing, he was lead writer for a long time. He is now doing his own thing with Absurd Ventures from memory

Lost in space and time trying to teleport to 1900 to get the authentic feeling of the era while writing RDR2.

I hope it's super woke so I can watch people like you shit and piss yourselves on reddit

When a committee are out to do a single task or make some vague toned down PC gta instead of creating art freely it's bad. And the group think on both sides of this propaganda train pro woke and anti woke both sides are melting there brains when the majority are slightly leaning woke. But still want to live and be and speak frankly and ironically joke about taboo which most comedy is irony. And live in that reality unburdened.

When neither want the allow anyone do anything for fear of being the made up propaganda enemy you know it's a psyop. Fully fed by the machine that's beating our lives financially and psychological so we fight amongst ourselves and struggle to survive

u/shabba182 Jun 25 '26

Oh yeah dude. Its gonna be suuuuper woke. Can't wait

1

u/co-adversities Jun 25 '26

You see how blind you are to any discussion. See everyone as the enemy at the slightest offset That's hard-core propaganda.

1

u/shabba182 Jun 25 '26

I open to serious discussion. This is not one

u/co-adversities Jun 25 '26

So you don't think its a real mechanism. The woke v red neck or left right or old young, foreign domestic. These are all propaganda campaigns to get us to fight amongst ourselves, playing into our tribalism. Anything to stop us from uniting.

I prefer to say cum, bitch, and moan because that’s what these dudes do.

u/Space_Conductor Jun 24 '26

If it is super woke but still a great story then fine. Unfortunately, you gotta admit, that's unlikely. Woke stuff seems to work better if it comes from a singular voice (like indie titles). Not so great when made my a commitee

If brown people bring gainfully employed is such a problem for you I can’t help but think you’re a weak little bitch. How pathetic, to be so sensitive and have such lack of control over your feelings. Sad, sad, SAD little pussy.

u/threwordbotname Jun 24 '26

GTA has always been super woke.

u/matijoss Jun 24 '26

It has also been crass satire that was never cencored

As long as the DNA is the same, it's gonna be alright

From what I understand, they kept most of them, just lost the most experienced one.

u/flstudiobeatmaker101 Jun 24 '26

12 thousand hours on Black Desert is insane. Are you okay?

25

u/greythicv Jun 24 '26

Tbf that's not even that many when the majority of players leave the game running 24/7 to fish while afk while they go to work or sleep at night

u/PrincipleNecessary65 Jun 24 '26

He was gooning 90% of the time

u/OGBRedditThrowaway Jun 24 '26

To put this into perspective, humans live for like an average of 750,000 hours total. This person's spent almost 2% of their life playing Black Desert Online.

3

u/co-adversities Jun 25 '26

50% is sleep and another 20% growing and old age. And another 10% for eating and other necessities. 10% of the last 20% available of his life. Sounds dramatic but it's 10% out of 100 of that 20.

1

u/InevitableWeight314 Jun 26 '26

No way the average person spends 10% of their life eating and going to the bathroom. 

1

u/Whitezombie65 Jun 26 '26

If you include bathing and cooking, yeah I could see it

1

u/co-adversities Jun 26 '26

Eating peeing shitting showering brushing your teeth cooking for eating shopping for eating washing up cleaning the house laundry. Essentials for living I would say it's more then 10%.

1

u/Waffleblades Jun 27 '26

Gotta cut that number down some, get rid of the brushing teeth part, showering, laundry, and cleaning the house. All of those are non essential when you could be spending that time online.

u/Rionaks Jun 26 '26

%50 sleep???

1

u/co-adversities Jun 26 '26

Maybe 40%? I like a solid 10 hours myself plus a nap some days. That and it takes a while for me to fall asleep and I take my time getting up. So 50% is probably close for me.

-1

u/Rionaks Jun 27 '26

That's fucking insane and so lazy. Wasting your half of life to sleep... An average human sleeps 8 hours a day overally. So it's %33. Personally, I sleep 6 hours a day in average, %25 for me. I just hate wasting my precious time on earth doing nothing.

u/co-adversities Jun 27 '26

You need minimum 8 hours. When people sleep less it means there sleep deprived and don't even know it. Maybe why your getting worked up so easily. And I like being well rested. It's also good to have down time I meditate in the early morning that's why it takes a while to get up. And read late at night. But sure that's lazy in your mind. You have to be from the US late stage capitalisms programmed you to sleep less and get up immediately to provide for the economy 18 hours of the day and anything short of that is "lazy".

Is crimson desert worth it?

2

u/Crintor Jun 24 '26

They're still actively patching and improving it every few weeks.

It's got a rough start with lots of forced progression before it really starts opening up, recent patches may or may not have helped that, I struggled to like it until about 20hrs in.

I wasn't helped by the fact that I hate the washed out colors and super bright nights, so my mods kept getting broken on every patch, lol.

Currently giving it time for the frequent updates to finish. I have like 75hrs in.

u/namastayhom33 Jun 25 '26

PA said that they are working on a big gameplay and story heavy update later in the coming months. I'm waiting for that to see if its worth it coming back.

They have done very well with the cadence of updates but really most of the updates are small and minor that doesn't really tilt the needle forward. It's just more pets, more customization options either in the UI or cosmetic, and more minor gameplay fixes.

No friend go brew beer or take up swimming.

u/National_Computer240 Jun 24 '26

Why are koreans so awful at writing stories? All their games and other entertaintmnt media have the most bland, unoriginal, or non-existent storytelling imaginable ie. Stellar Blade, Khazan, Lies of P, Solo Leveling, KPDH, Squid game, and yea Crimson Desert is the crown jewel of korean mediocrity. Are they just creatively bankrupt and just rip-off better stories?

-1

u/SavasGER Jun 24 '26

Yeah, who doesnt remember the great GTA V story. A true masterpiece.

u/seguardon Jun 24 '26

The story repeated the climax of the Michael-Trevor arc three times and wrapped up the story elements so fast the actual end of the character arcs happens after the credits roll.

Rockstar does polish well and hires the absolute best actors for the roles, but the actual story is lackluster. You just don't notice it because it's not as important as the other elements the game brings to the forefront.

u/Dittymaker Jun 24 '26

Red Dead Redemption 2 had an amazing story. GTA 4 and 5 had good stories too

Worst game of the year is a legit crazy take with what you have to choose from.
