games

Like the title. What games are made better with mods, and foster a great modding scene that retains momentum and delivers excellent content?

My personal favorite is Fallout: New Vegas, but games like DOOM, Half-Life 2 (really all source engine games), and Minecraft have extremely unique mod scenes. Of course, Skyrim remains a modding titan. STALKER: Anomaly is already an amazing mod project and has mod lists for it like GAMMA.

What are your favorites?

What retro games run well on Android and aren't too hard on your fingers? Top down is usually easiest for me but if anyone has some 3d recommendations that's cool too.

Look right, I can remember retro g*mers making jokes about the Game Gear being 2big and 2heavy back in the day, probably in the 2000s. Classic Game Room watchers remember. Same for the Lynx. The Wii U's tea tray controller was derided for being beeeeg. I can also recall people saying that the PS Vita was kinda large back when it came out, which tbf it is pushing the definition of "pocketable" for the boys and takes up a lot of purse space.

It sort of felt like reality broke down in 2017. The first thing I did when the Switch was announced was make a joke about putting a Game Gear in your pocket, but suddenly nobody else gave a damn that the Switch is like ten inches long. Most dildos are not that long.... I get that it's a hybrid, but suddenly the dynamic shifted from "if it can't fit my dude pockets it's no good!" to "aw yeah bruh just get a hardcase and throw it in a backpack!" I do support backpack gang, but you almost may as well get a laptop at that point.

Handheld size has become progressively more comical over the years though, with my favourite example being the Steam Deck which is actually considerably longer than a Wii U Gamepad at an XL 13" Tell ya what, I couldn't fit that!!

I'm not really against the existence of larger handhelds on its own, I have long fingers and a DS Lite or PS Vita will give me handcramps sometimes. But it's like a weirder version of when all phones became "phablets" and impossible to use with one hand, suddenly all handhelds are as big as the Wii U pad. (Switch Lite excluded, though it's still larger than a Vita) It also seems like the PS Vita and 3DS primed everyone to accept hilariously short battery life? The PSP 3000/Go and DS Lite/DSi could get anywhere from 8 to 20 hours depending on your settings, that was awesome. The 3DS and Vita won't hold out for more than three hours under duress, though. Most modern portable PCs have worse battery than that, even...

I guess I'm just wondering wha happun??? I know there's a large contingent of people who never take handhelds outside the house anyway (based) and just use them on the couch, but I don't think the Deck would be much more pleasant to handle in an armchair or whatever. That's one thicc-ass boi.

I had my brother play Deus Ex: Human Revolution and I remembered how much wacky fun I had.

America in 2027 is depicted a crumbling dystopia (basically what America will actually be in 3 years minus some fancy tech) where Musk types like Sarif are "creating" wealth by further segregating deindustrialized cities like Detroit.

There is literally a mission where you infiltrate a FEMA concentration camp in a deindustrialized region of Detroit that was built to house dissidents. And a literal tries to hire you to orchestrate a gang war to prevent people from finding out.

I find China's depiction in the game the most fascinating because China in HR is basically what the West fantasized China would become in the future. A neoliberal western vassal with a weak "Communist" party. There are Blackwater style PMCs in the game operating to protect Western sweatshops in China and brutalize the populace. Luckily, I had Jensen take them all out.

Also, Israel apparently got wiped out so maybe the Cyberpunk dystopia is kind of based.

From a description of Miami on the Cyberpunk wiki

Naturally, these organizations were dominated by the various drug cartels. After the bioplague destroyed the drug crops in 1992, their authority faded away to nothing. One by one, the drug-producing areas of South America were destroyed. With no commercial crop to provide cheap raw materials, and no end to the drought in sight, these criminal elements began to feed off each other in a desperate attempt to monopolize the synthetic drug industry. In the beginning, violence increased nation-wide as the drug cartels beat themselves to death. But while the shooting eventually stopped in most places, it only got worse in Miami, until eventually the city was in flames. Unable to stop the warfare, the government cordoned off the area and let the combatants exhaust themselves. It was not a question of refusing to save innocent lives; most of the honest (and moneyed) people had fled Miami at the beginning of the troubles. The city had already been destroyed, and the gangs had vowed never to give up their turf.

By early 1996, the war was over; Miami was as bad a city as Beirut, a wasteland of half-demolished buildings and bullet-riddled car wrecks. Above this splendid kingdom stood the Bloods-just in time for the worst of the Collapse.

Just peak fucking liberalism, uncritical acceptance of 80s and 90s war on drugs propaganda. It's like Robocop was canon, but the writers didn't realize Robocop was a satire of America's War on Drugs politics and white media hysteria.
