The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

they’ve already forked a nazi version called redot complete with a stormtrooper helmet in nazi flag colours with angry eyes

Pathetic, pathetic people.

Trademark dispute with Reddit in 3…2..

If I was just a clueless gamer type with no political awareness whatsoever, I could see myself liking this logo if it didn't have the eyes, just the visor. Ahh, a cool classic-style logo of a Visor Guy from the halcyon Visor Days of the 2000s. But then it has the angry eyes, which is just like...off-putting? It's a small detail, I know, but it parallels the whole situation: reactionaries claim to want to return something to the uncomplicated good old days, but their every effort to do so is undermined by how mad they are. In this and in real life, the distracting angry eyes they can't help slapping onto every one of their thoughts, an unfufillable longing paired with an unceasing glower.

The sole purpose of the Steam forums is for baby gamer brains and Nazis to cry about how their toys offended them.

Absolutely nothing of value would be lost by shutting them down.

You're on point for many popular games, so many are infested with fascists constantly whining about "woke"

Pathetic, the lot of them.

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 23 points 9 months ago

Oh my god they want safe spaces for chuds again

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 23 points 9 months ago

Their lifelong dream... That they could accomplish at any time with one of the many other engines available. Or they could learn to build their own. Either this is a 12 year old or the most touristy of tourists.

[–] Philosophosphorous@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

ill have to consider using this for one of my eternally neglected creative projects lmao

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago

It's a fun engine to use

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

What did Godot do?

Edit: Nevermind I trawled through raw sewage myself to find out. They posted a tweet asking game devs to show their woke games. Chuds are so goddamned pathetic.

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

had some anti-capitalist messaging in an old version of the engine documentation that has been removed from newer versions, but some chud grifters found the archives and are pronouns for content

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They shouldn't have removed it wtf.

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

They should implement early PC gaming copy protection where you have to input answers from the instruction manual to access the software... only the instruction manual is Kapital.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago

Imagine being this fucking pathetic

[–] iByteABit@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago (2 children)

What even makes an engine "woke" lmao, the fact that it's open source instead of exploiting developers?

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 33 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

I think it was this tweet? shrug-outta-hecks

Edit: Text transcriptionEncrypting save games

Why?

Because the world today is not the world of yesterday. A capitalist oligarchy runs the world and forces us to consume in order to keep the gears of this rotten society on track. As such, the biggest market for video game consumption today is the mobile one. It is a market of poor souls forced to compulsively consume digital content in order to forget the misery of their everyday life, commute, or just any other brief free moment they have that they are not using to produce goods or services for the ruling class. These individuals need to keep focusing on their video games (because not doing so will fill them with tremendous existential angst), so they go as far as spending money on them to extend their experience, and their preferred way of doing so is through in-app purchases and virtual currency.

But what if someone were to find a way to edit the saved games and assign the items and currency without effort? That would be terrible, because it would help players consume the content much faster, and therefore run out of it sooner than expected. If that happens, they will have nothing that prevents them from thinking, and the tremendous agony of realizing their own irrelevance would again take over their life. No, we definitely do not want that to happen, so let's see how to encrypt savegames and protect the world order.

Wow that's based rat-salute-2

[–] refolde@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago

I saw youtube recommend me a video about how "Godot is destroying itself".

I was worried that something bad must have happened, since I plan on trying the engine out in the future, but the video was just chuds being chuds isn't it?

[–] buh@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago

It’s okay to admit you want to make a game but are too lazy or don’t have the time or don’t know how to make a game, you don’t have to make excuses about the tools being “woke”
