I hate videogamers.

[userzero1]

Shut up. This is a really serious post. Video gamers, I think it's time we took a look in the mirror. Because if we don’t change our ways, one day we're gonna wake up and there ain’t gonna be any video games left in this world. Now, don't start laughing. This is not a laughing matter. Don’t start making any funny comments on this post, because if we keep going this way and we keep laughing it off and not being serious, one day we’re gonna wake up and video games are gonna be gone as we know it.


Ladies and gentlemen, the reason I'm making this post today is because the Nintendo GameCube is failing. Last year, Nintendo only sold five GameCubes. Can you believe that? Only five. And people wonder why this industry is collapsing. The Nintendo GameCube is a technological marvel: 250 megabytes, 700 kilohertz, purple ash games. And when you turn it on, it’s like a puppet, and you stupid motherfuckers don’t buy a single goddamn one.


Look at this game called The Legend of Wind Waker, only for the Nintendo GameCube. The graphics on this game are set to an unprecedented level, with graphics so good that you can even smell the water. The famous reviewer John S gives this game a flawless 10 out of 10 score, saying, “Okay, so maybe it doesn’t deserve a perfect score.”


The Legend of Golf, The Legend of Spyro, The Legend of Twilight Princess, Legends of Wrestling 2, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Tomb Raider Legend, X-Men Legends—every game for the GameCube was legendary. Luigi’s Mansion is probably the scariest game that’s ever been done. This is scientifically proven: There are over 300 ghouls on the screen at any given time.


Now tell me, what is the only console that you can play Luigi’s Mansion on? Nintendo GameCube. Without the GameCube, there is no Crash Bandicoot. There is no Madden. John Madden was filing for bankruptcy before the whole situation with the... you know. NBA Street is on the GameCube, which is a phenomenal deal. Without NBA Street, you don’t get Michael Jordan. You don’t get LeBron James from Multiverses.


There were no M-rated games for the GameCube. Now look at Pikmin. This is a famous game. People forget that the GameCube had games like Zapper. It had games like Sims 2 Pets. Burnout 2—remember when that game came out?


Also, it's GameCube, not Game Cube you jackass.

At the end of the day, it was Zoo Cube that killed this console. And scalpers.

For my money, I think the real reason the GameCube is starting to fall behind is because it’s just an older console at this point. And Nintendo has moved on to the Nintendo Switch.

It all went downhill when everyone stopped using the MOS 6502 (and it's variations and clones).

I hope there is a reality when that was when the powerwall was reached... I think that's where you go after you die, to meet Jesus and Chuck Peddle.

Idk man I hope you're not discounting the Z80, absolute gold from that family too

I'm not, or if I am only ever so slightly same era everything had either a 6502 or a Z80. The best of times, not even a subjective opinion, scientists have proven it.

I looked in the mirror; I've gotten much thinner, stronger, younger, and healthier. I feel super lightweight despite lifting heavier weights than ever before too.

How muchya bench?

 

[K3Nv4]

I've seen gamers less angry at gamers.

How muchya bench?

Bench? Only fifteen reps of seventy pound dumbells in each hand. I weigh less than two hundred pounds and consider myself a shortie at six feet and half an inch since I've seen actual tall people at well over seven feet that have to duck down to get through doors and football players that tower over me (and they still lost). The rest are as follows:
-one rep one hundred and thirty five pound rows
-one hundred reps/fifteen super slow reps of three hundred and five pounds on leg extension (kind of annoying to pin myself down to do it though)
-one hundred pullups consecutively
-fifteen reps of inclined situps with double punches and forty five pound dumbells in each hand
-proper forty reps of one thousand and four pound sled leg presses with rapid fire punches with twenty five pound dumbells in each hand
-one hundred and forty four thousand proper punches against a two hundred and fifty pound bag with fifteen pound dumbells in each hand (I can upload a picture of my wrists afterwards) in just under two hours
-Custom bags weighing over two thousand pounds
-Rapid fire punches with thirty five pound dumbells in each hand
-A full Chon-Ji Tul and a full Gae-Baek Tul with thirty five pound dumbells in each hand (those hurt, a lot! They actually make me groan in soreness pain especially holding the weights out on each punch with proper form!)
-Half-Reverse Turning kicks followed up by upset punches and hooks with combat boots at my head level
-Front foot hook kicks at head-level without tilting my head in comabt boots while simultaneously striking the bag with my hands.
-Switch-Back kicks with combat boots.
-Hooking block switch back kicks with combat boots.
-forty five pound metal dumbell body conditioning blows to my neck and below (about two weeks between bruisings to let them fully heal; came in handy when a cold iron dropped on my bare foot by accident before work and I had zero damage, numbness, and pain; this is also why the semi wreck was not bad enough for me to need any immediate medical attention even though my car was totaled on my driver side and I didn't feel a thing when the bigger guy full-body tackled me before he was arrested at gunpoint).
-Shadow boxing and completely outspeeding pro boxers who trianed with the likes of Aaryon Pryor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Pryor with twenty pound dumbells in each of my hands.
-Quick strike to takedown to grappling/lockdown/gouging drills from surprise rear neck chokeholds by opponents simulated with the force of a two hundred and fifty pound bag slamming into my back at unknown intervals (came in handy twice over in bad areas of town where mma people tried to choke hold me the same way to rob me to death; I'm alive and well for a reason. And I rolled them over gently as to not hurt anything but their pride as they were pinned down in a blink.)
-thirty six inch box jumps from ankles only; aim at eight foot tall opponent, use takedowns, jump back kicks, etc. on the way back down to make gravity work for me.
-same thirty six inch ankle jumps, but for countering high knee opponents; use the elbow thrust right above the knee to maximize their knee damage, use the recoil to thrust me upwards with my arm, intercept both of theirs on the way up, and use their recoil likewise to reach their heads.
-One arm only versus two muay thai figthers and two boxers at once; use knuckles on one side and elbow on the other side with recoil as need be to defend from two strikes at once, but let them surround you for the challenge in case you are in a situation where you cannot line them up.
-both hands, faster speed versus eleven people at once with backgrounds in MMA; move like you are blitzing them; the longer it goes on, the less opportunity to win.
-etc.

This is is how I train after work for four hours daily including weekends; work is _much_ more physically demanding than this could ever hope to be.


Here is a picture of my hands right afterwards, and the day before I visited the "legendary shotokan karate leader" whose dojo rumbled on every move of my pattern, and whose makiwara board I nearly snapped in half with my bare knuckles at far less than a quarter effort (I don't take karate; I came there to prove my point, and he conceded that Tae-Kwon-do is superior and that I lead all of it.):

If only people knew just how far beyond it is physically to teach; forty nine hours of nonstop training has _nothing_ on fifteen minutes of proactively teaching on my feet in a _week_; I was too physically exhausted to do more than that at a time, and all that gym and Martial Arts stuff was my off-time and a joke by comparison. You want to actually do well? teach in a classroom!

Addendum: Fire alarm went off tonight; fire team came, and there is a brown widow infestation. I killed it with my bare hands so I could get a close-up of it to report to the complex; those things are very dangerous; they bit me before, hence I felt like my nerves were firing off in every part of my body.

They can inject enough venom to be as deadly as sydney funnel webs, though that is "rare"; that is how much one injected when it got into my shirt.

The last good video game was the breathing oxygen atom simulator

It all went down hill after that

Actually, green hill zone went up recently in sonic generations. A lot of them went up hill actually; starfield even went so far up that it reached space. Metroid Prime 4 already confirms that it will go uphill.

I liked Metroid prime 5: oxygen atoms better

Nah, it didn't start going downhill until they switched to x86.

Basically, we all have to blame Intel for the state of modern gaming, at least Motorola had blast processing.

Because if we don’t change our ways, one day we're gonna wake up and there ain’t gonna be any video games left in this world.

I know it's hypthetical, but would it be really that bad if we lived in a world without "new" video games? Imagine we could just enjoy all those games in existence, find hidden gems, clear our backlogs, simply have fun. No service games, no DLC, no more ports or remakes, no hype trains, no FOMO - just a library of millions of games of all kinds of genres which we are free to explore without getting distracted by "new and shiny releases".

Guess I'm getting old.
