Griefing. The act of undermining another's online gaming experience. It's usually a dirty word, one associated with cretins and assholes. Yet when applied to the right target, it can also be associated with great things.
This is Garry's Mod. It's a PC "game" based on Valve's Source Engine, and lets people run around just...doing stuff with stuff to their heart's content. Most of the time that means building incredible contraptions, but in this case, it means tormenting a very angry young boy by locking him inside a glass prison.
Don't ask yourself "why didn't the kid just reset his connection?" Because if he had, we wouldn't have been able to watch this, and our days would all have been a little darker.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Garry’s Mod, the Source engine creation game and pillar of the Half-Life modding scene, is considering banning servers that purport to celebrate Nazi ideology.
But what constitutes "Nazi ideology" in this day and age? Especially when anyone with an even remotely conservative opinion is called a Nazi.
"Banning symbols and stuff sounds like they’d just use another symbol, but in my opinion, these people are so fragile that one concession would be too much for them, and they’d find somewhere else.”
That's rich, calling these people fragile. When you're the ones going out of your way to cancel everyone and everything.
Although the game has no real objective, Garry's Mod is a sandbox title that includes some of the eeriest maps gaming has ever seen.
So many fond memories of this map and all the fun I had in GMod. I’ve been trying out S&Box (Google it if you haven’t heard of it), and it’s pretty awesome as a successor.
Hoping they get to a full release in 2023.
S&box still in progress for game modes, was hoping to see a copy of a few modes from GMOD like the puzzle/obstacle course maps, and Zombie Survival. But so far so good in terms of the way the default sandbox mode feels and looks, plus they're adding realistic looking player models now too.
I imagine it should be a pretty active multiplayer game fairly soon.
Hmm might have to try that... For whatever reason Gary's Mod would shit on my computer and literally nothing I did would fix it.. (SC2 Heart of the Swarm campaign menu system only did the same) but nothing else lol so never got to enjoy Gar's mod
"My brother works for steam" lol
Sometimes I really do fear for these people that get too invested and immersed in a videogame. Seriously...how could you even be scared of that?!?
Just rejoin the server
herp derp
