Community rules:

Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules

No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.

No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.

No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.

No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.

Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.

NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.

Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

Lol, how fragile must you be if you're scared that different people simply exist . Right-winger snowflakes always have to be the victims of something. Go play the Witcher 3, it's a hiden gem.

Yes, it's call "The Witcher 3" it's a hidden gem.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's up there as one of the most highly rated and popular games of all time. It's a gem for sure, but there is absolutely nothing hidden about it.

Lol, I was fooling around, it's actually a running joke from r/gamingcirclejerk - kind of mocking how gamers are obsess with that game. I'm well aware it's not hidden at all ;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

it was a joke

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ummm no, I'm pretty sure it's a hidden gem, I just asked my dog if she'd heard of it, and she just looked at me uncomprehending

Someone should create an “anti-woke” mod in which the character creator is removed and you can only play as a overweight white neckbeard named “Chud”.

One of the far-righters who went viral was this one. Personally I think that you can see how much this is a performance, because the outrage is so overblown that you can not take that guy seriously.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

"current day us" Dude literally believes trans people will just go away eventually

ffs, if trans people existing hurts your immersion you need to go outside

You know what's fucked? Being told every day, wherever you look that you shouldn't exist, that you're disgusting and gross, that you deserve to die, that you're unwanted and don't belong. Online, in the news, on TV, from family, people you considered friends, people you tell when you'd like to date. People like this are part of the reason that the end of a rope gets more enticing by the day. You can only take so much constant abuse and hatred. So I guess they're winning, they should be proud of themselves because they're achieving their goals, with some luck I won't exist anymore.

Hooooly fuck lmfao.

I only saw the short clip that VideoGameDunkey used in his video over starfield.

The whole video is even worse.

The game has some issues but the option to just pick from he/she/they isn't one of them. Thanks for linking the full video of that man baby lol.
