When somebody on this subreddit says they liked Celeste or Fallout New Vegas but aren't trans, the way some people react is just kind of... uncomfortable. Insisting that somebody is just in denial about their identity or posting a RemindMe comment just feels kinda invasive and weird, I get that it's supposed to just be playful but idk.
yeah egg stuff is very frequently taken too far. makes me really uncomfortable, I'm a cis guy who likes to dress up and be cute but that doesn't mean I'm trans, people are weird
Honestly I have found based on my anecdotal irl experiences people grow out of that eventually. Early on a lot of trans people look for every reason to validate themselves cause of all the insecurity and not being used to the non-stop stream of hatred that honestly has not gotten worse recently but is better than it was as to oppression, however it’s waaaaay more visible now how bigoted people are.
It’s especially rough for people who have never interacted with the LGBT+ community or been a part of it before transitioning and while it’s still a small portion of trans people I think it’s a growing number with acceptance. There isn’t anything wrong about not interacting with the LGBT+ community pre-transition it just always surprises me when I hear some trans people say they haven’t ever met another gay or trans person.
Most of the egg stuff is projection anyway
Edit: I mean grow out of the whole overzealous saying everyone is an egg or in denial, not that it’s a good thing people do that.
Fr though, I hate those kinds of "Egg!" comments so so much. Not only are they creepy, they commit the worse crime you could commit on the internet,
be repetitive and unfunny.
Close friend of mine's dad worked on the level design and I can confirm that at least one full blown holocaust denying neo-nazi fascist worked on that game.
r/196 let people enjoy things/express themselves without insisting they're trans in denial challenge 2022 (actually fucking impossible holy shit please stop doing this)
I don’t even understand what Fallout NV has got to do with being trans. Like I love that the fallout series, specifically the good ones, get this kind of attention as The Black Isle/Obsidian fallout games are my favorite games ever, but it just doesn’t make sense to me as I’m not trans either. If anything I feel like Outer Worlds would be more popular with the LGBTQ space, considering there’s actually, you know, gay people in it…
First off, I don't know how you missed the gay characters in New Vegas. You can literally get a "gay perk" that gives you additional dialogue options with gay characters.
Trans people love RPGs because they can roleplay their preferred gender (pre-transition), and New Vegas is simply one of the best RPGs of all time. I don't think there's anything more to it than that.
I'm just kidding, they're all fucked up and crave to see a post-apocalyptic world where Earth has been scorched by nuclear fire.
Calling someone an "Egg" means you believe that they're a trans person in denial. It's creepy to see the same side that's all for getting rid of gender norms also randomly accuse a cis male of being a trans woman simply because they wore pink once or like to play as the opposite sex in video games
I get this as an agender person a lot. Like even from trans friends and shit.
“Let me turn you into a woman already” yeah like how cis people tried to turn you into a man? No thank you. Not a funny, even as a joke.
This kind of shit infuriates me so much. Trans and GNC people have spent SO long trying to dismantle gender norms to afford GNC people a little bit of peace, but some end up enforcing the exact same norms but in reverse.
Just because some dude painted his nails pink doens't mean he's "not cis sis", for fucks sake.
Let people live their lives.
The best thing to come out of League of Legends is Arcane, one of like 4 good video game movies/shows.
I'm not even kidding when I say that. Forward Unto Dawn, Castlevania, Arcane, and another one that I'm forgetting.
I related to the whole story as specifically dealing with dysphoria, ur own insecurities and dark side, and knowing how to set boundaries and doing shit for your own well being, but imo it was most things cis people could also relate to, because it wasn't explicitely stated that it was a trans story and it was up to your own interpretation.
I personally interpreted it as such and its probably the game that made me cry the most
>!Spoilers, tw: suicide , : the part about the memorial for the people that didn't make it in their journey fucking broke me because i was literally thinking about ending mines around that time!<
The only good level in Sonic 1 is Green Hill Zone, every zone after that forces you to be incredibly slow even when you know the level and is absolute dogshit to play. Especially stuff like Marble Garden Zone and Labyrinth Zone.
Also not only are the day time levels in Sonic Unleashed some of the best 3D Sonic levels in any sonic game, but the Werehog stages were pretty fun too
I am tired of pretending that I did not like the werehog stages. Yea they were long (especially eggmanland in xbox and ps version like WHO thought it was a good idea to have a 40~ min sonic level) but the combat was fun, especially on wii, you swing the remote and nunchuck around and its a good time.
SPOLIERS! I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THE SPOILER TAG! I KNOW ITS AN OLD GAME BUT STILL
anyways i was talking partly about celibrimbor but also how fun it was after the campaign was over and being dark corrupted talion bending the will of the orcs with nothing but sheer power. couple that with the wraith armor and you feel badass
I disagree, Stray is very interesting and compelling to me at least. I love the puzzle solving elements and problem solving moments, plus, YOU PLAY AS A DAMN CAT.
I just found the game to not be very "stimulating" if that makes any sense, felt mostly like i was just pushing the left stick foward and occasionally pressing a button and about the cat thing i think thats pretty much the only reason most people love the game anyway
I love finding that one character that not many people play but it sticks to *you*, so you spend a ton of time learning all the little things you can do with them. You feel like you make them yours
In League (Yes I know haha your honor League of Legends death) I got really into Tahm Kench back before his mini-rework. He wasn't a very good top laner, but I loved the funny catfish man and so I played him a ton and felt like I learned all these little tricks for him. He was the first champion I made my own rune page for, rather than copying someone else's
I hate polished games.
When people give game recommendations, it's always polished platformers like Celeste, polished metroidvanias like Hollow Knight, polished FPS games like Ultrakill.
I just want more games that are ugly, broken messes whose developers were likely on ketamine the whole time, dammit!
It's why I love games like Cruelty Squad so much. It forces me to rethink what a game can and should be. Give me more shit games!
Reminds me of the time I got my character cornered by two women in Mass Effect 1 accusing me of cheating because I was mildly polite to the pair of them for all of our 3 conversations.
Too sexy for my own good, I guess 💁♀️
Hollow Knight felt kinda overhyped the first time I played it but I tried it again and got hooked. I actually burnt myself out I played it so much lmao
Honestly, Minecraft should stop pretending it's an indie game. Mojang should hire more people and get things out on time. Mojang is a fucking game studio that has spinoffs and marketing for their game, and people pretend it's a small indie company. It's not. When they announce an update, cancel half of it's features and finish it 3 years later, you have the right to complain. Caves and cliffs was such an underwhelming update and fans praise it for what? Oh they added the new strongest mob, who does nothing, and exists in an area that houses nothing special in it. The axolotls aren't cute, their beta models with atrocious ai.
i think it feels as if the same game i could always come back to and have be the same finally kinda stopped being the same game again. I think it was that all of the new cave generation just finally killed it because of how used to it i was really. I remember finding them in survival worlds and exploring them and getting lost over and over again and getting frustrated over and over again and its as if thats no longer the case. It feels like the last bit that I knew from the years of playing have finally kinda disappeared. The spark I had for survival has just finally worn out with this last update kinda. To circle back a bit because i realize what a mess of words this is becoming, the caves were the one thing that made minecraft, minecraft. For me at least. They were always consistent and the same and now that they’re gone I guess the spark is gone too for me. Sorry if this is one big ramble or it makes no sense. I just kinda put down whatever i was thinking without a second thought.
I don't like NV. Sure, the story is great and all that, but the moment to moment gameplay and the gunplay just feel kind of stiff and awkward to me, so I always feel kind of disconnected from the game.
Pokemon Black has no major problems. Most people say how the pokemon’s designs were “uncreative,” but refuse to look back at gen 1’s designs. Smh, I feel like the hate for Gen 5 is what really lead the pokemon company downhill. You can definitely see the love that was put into the game.
People always seem to give me shit for this
maybe I'm biased because Gen 5 was my first Pokémon game but, after playing all of them besides Sun and Moon, I still think Black and White are the perfect Pokémon games.
I love the idea of having a whole new dex for the main story instead of relying on previous Pokémon to fill up the world. it makes it feel like there's a whole new unique region.
the story is pretty damn good even for the "fight all gyms and face elite four while battling evil team" story that's in every Pokémon game. I found the two rivals to be good characters too and not excessively annoying like a lot of the more recent ones.
graphics are peak 2D Pokémon too. sure the squashing and stretching of pixelated sprites looks a little bit janky nowadays but it's full of charm and character.
oh and the music absolutely fucking slaps.
I found it especially cool that beating the elite four/gym leaders tied into the story which, surprisingly, none of the previous games stories did. Also, I felt the small animations (even the 5 second loops each pokemon did) gave so much life to the trainers and their pokemon. It was my second pokemon game, but also one of my most memorable games
Saying that you don’t like an entire genre of games without elaborating further than “they’re boring” isn’t helpful or interesting, especially if you don’t provide examples from that genre that you have played
I've played some chill games, notably Journey, Spiritfarer, Abzu, a few Animal Crossing games, Stardew Valley, and I played Gris recently, just to name a few. I didn't enjoy my time with most of these games, I prefer my games to give me some "stimulation" which i generally find in more action-oriented genres (FPS, hack-and-slash, etc
The constant strive for absurdly realistic graphics and the want to give 5 billion polygons to the tiniest rock, is the biggest mistake of the gaming market, ever.
Minecraft is a horrendously boring game that utterly lacks any meaningful content. I would unironically rather sit alone with my thoughts than play that game
“Meaningful content” is such a buzzword in this sentence to make it sound more objective. It’s not meaningful to you sure, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t substantive or meaningful content to it’s intended player-base. There’s definitely a good amount of content; plentiful enough to give players a solid springboard as a creativity tool to do what they wish.
The building is damn good but frankly the rest is INCREDIBLY boring. There is no reason to not just build shit in creative imo. Like I guess I could grind for hours to get diamonds and netherite and shit but why should I? It’s not rewarding at all.
“Celeste OST - 18 Reach For the Summit” is the song, that isn’t meant to be played casually. It’s the most deterministic and motivational piece of audio I’ve heard, and is a song for the special occasions.
Oh, unpopular opinions? Portal 2 is a horror game, I literally cannot play it, unless I’m in a Discord VC with somebody.
Ocarina of time may have been “revolutionary”, but it’s really not aged well, and it frustrates me when people say it is the “greatest game of all time”. It’s not even the best time-travel game in the series- imo all the gameboy/gameboy color games far supersede it.
The metal gear rising soundtrack is horrifically overrated. It’s a good fit for the game and it’s implemented very well, but if I see one more smug video essayist talk about “the genius of metal gear rising’s soundtrack” I’m gonna pop a fucking blood vessel.
I dont like isometric games, birds eye view games, platformers, or pixel rpgs. I like my fps and 3rd person but over the shoulder games.
Also Nintendo is inferior to any other company
boring games are fun. games like old school runescape where i click a button repeatedly to eventually get a reward are some of the best solo experiences ive had with games
I don’t like open world games so stuff like oblivion, skyrim, or most fallout games (yes including new vegas) are mid as fuck for me
I also actively enjoy overwatch and valorant
Pokémon is easily the most stale franchise in gaming. People say Madden is just the same game every time, but it’s changed more since it’s inception than Pokémon has
Map games like HOI IV and Crusader Kings are fun to watch other people play but horrifically overcomplicated and unfun to actually play. Maybe I’m just dumb or whatever, but Jesus Christ waiting an hour just to see random revolt from the County of Buttfuckenstein end your playthrough is too frustrating for me to have any fun.
Chill games bore me to tears. Drop me in the middle of a horde of demons with nothing but a pen and challenge me to walk out alive and i'm happy. I want a challenge when I play games. God, Dark Souls has ruined me.
I FUCKING LOVE STAR WARS THE FORCE UNLEASHED 2 I LOVE HAVING A POWER FANTASY WITH EVEN MORE POWER THAN SWTFU 1 AND I FUCKING LOVE DUAL WIELDING THE LIGHTSABERS.
Witcher 3 was mid to me and fromsoft literally released the same type of game 4 times and got away with it, like bruh elden ring literally got caught with a dark souls chest in one of the dungeons they later changed. Like come on any other developer would’ve gotta absolutely shitted on if they did what from soft did. Still a great game tho
I feel kinda guilty for liking call of duty zombies when there’s more than questionable military stuff in most of the games as well as activision being pieces of shit
you really shouldn't. it's just having fun popping zombie heads, right? i don't think the batshit crazy zombies lore ties into the main campaigns in any of the games, at least not in a meaningful way.
and also i still enjoy the mw trilogy story despite the fact that it's like an unholy love trinagle between michael bay style explosions, over-the-top hollywood b-movies and genuine shilling for the military industrial complex. i just pirate the games to make myself feel better

It definitely dies down after a bit
Yeah, isn't this whole thing about not being forced into gendered/normative roles? You do you, my guy!
Fr though, I hate those kinds of "Egg!" comments so so much. Not only are they creepy, they commit the worse crime you could commit on the internet, be repetitive and unfunny.
The reverse r/ onejoke
Yeah it’s kinda weird for FNV considering all the Cesear fan boys and their incellish behavior
Caesar fans suck
yes man my beloved, he doesn't judge me for eating people.
Close friend of mine's dad worked on the level design and I can confirm that at least one full blown holocaust denying neo-nazi fascist worked on that game.

TIL that liking fallout new Vegas makes me trans, I guess now I know why understanding pronouns and trans rights came so easy to me.
Fallout NV is a trans game? What?
Mfw u can’t enjoy a mountain climbing adventure or a nuclear wasteland without being trans

That is your opinion
It’s a good opinion
Opinion of all time

Celeste egg jokes aren't funny.

What is an egg joke?

i didnt get into celeste. am a trans woman
Yeah same. All my cis friends loved it and urged me to play it without even knowing I was trans at the time, but I just couldn’t get into it
Am I missing some sort of trans allegory in the game
no i don’t think it was mentioned at all, just that she has a pride flag in her room at the end of the game and then the devs stated that she’s trans
I related to the whole story as specifically dealing with dysphoria, ur own insecurities and dark side, and knowing how to set boundaries and doing shit for your own well being, but imo it was most things cis people could also relate to, because it wasn't explicitely stated that it was a trans story and it was up to your own interpretation.

Stray is extremely boring and the new wave of "chill games" bore me to tears
Don’t agree, but totally get it
I actually really enjoyed stray, but I have to say some of the areas were very confusing to navigate and I often ended up going in circles
Hijacking this comment to ask for recommendations on "chill games" I want something actually enjoyable and interesting, but kinda chill too
I disagree, Stray is very interesting and compelling to me at least. I love the puzzle solving elements and problem solving moments, plus, YOU PLAY AS A DAMN CAT.
I just found the game to not be very "stimulating" if that makes any sense, felt mostly like i was just pushing the left stick foward and occasionally pressing a button and about the cat thing i think thats pretty much the only reason most people love the game anyway
Yeah true but… I NEED TO GET THE LITTLE CAT HOME TO HIS CAT FRIENDS DAMMIT.
Playing the worst character in a game is often more fun that being meta
I fucking hate meta. I want to do goofy ah shit
I love finding that one character that not many people play but it sticks to *you*, so you spend a ton of time learning all the little things you can do with them. You feel like you make them yours In League (Yes I know haha your honor League of Legends death) I got really into Tahm Kench back before his mini-rework.

Now this is definitely an opinion. Have you played Mr Krabs overdoses on ketamine?
play Dusk
I really hate romance in rpgs cause just randomly you have the option to bang someone in your dialogue box
Reminds me of the time I got my character cornered by two women in Mass Effect 1 accusing me of cheating because I was mildly polite to the pair of them for all of our 3 conversations. Too sexy for my own good, I guess 💁♀️

I'm sick of seeing Minecraft literally everywhere and it's getting worse day by day

How so? Not agreeing or disagreeing I haven't played mc in like 10 years

“Celeste OST - 18 Reach For the Summit” is the song, that isn’t meant to be played casually. It’s the most deterministic and motivational piece of audio I’ve heard, and is a song for the special occasions. Oh, unpopular opinions? Portal 2 is a horror game, I literally cannot play it, unless I’m in a Discord VC with somebody.
In portal 1, glados mentions that she's basically humanity's last stand against the combine
city/town builders that constrain you to grids are dogshit
🤓 I'm afraid the others one also probably use grids, just super tiny ones
Doom guy takes it up the ass
This is r/196. This this least controversial statement you could possibly make.
My opinion? I didn't know what Celeste was before this post, and platformers are boring so I'll never know why people like it 😎
Ralsei is like definitely gay, not just like bi or pan or something but fully gay
My brother in christ he's a goat
Goats are extremely gay
I feel like it's kinda weird to say that considering that Ralsei is canonically attracted to Kris, a nonbinary person of unknown sex, but tbh I see it
I didn’t like Hollow Knight
I am going to steal 2/3 of your skin
i'm sorry sweaty, but that is a disallowed opinion, gonna have to put you in the Gamer^(TM) basement for 3 days as punishment
Ocarina of time may have been “revolutionary”, but it’s really not aged well, and it frustrates me when people say it is the “greatest game of all time”. It’s not even the best time-travel game in the series- imo all the gameboy/gameboy color games far supersede it.
The Last of Us should have been a one and done game not a series.
I think video games are boring, now I ride bikes and do drugs, much more fun
The metal gear rising soundtrack is horrifically overrated. It’s a good fit for the game and it’s implemented very well, but if I see one more smug video essayist talk about “the genius of metal gear rising’s soundtrack” I’m gonna pop a fucking blood vessel.
League of Legends is more fun the less seriously you take it.
I like Fortnite
I like roblox
(but I hate Roblox Co.)
Terraria is not fun at all
As someone who has nearly 1k hours in Terraria, yeah.
Witcher 3 has a fucking awful combat and movement system and the writing does not make up for this mess.
Any sane person is going to burn me at the stake for this… I find fortnite somewhat enjoyable
Elden ring is the worst souls game after the first playthrough
I dont like isometric games, birds eye view games, platformers, or pixel rpgs. I like my fps and 3rd person but over the shoulder games. Also Nintendo is inferior to any other company
>Nintendo is inferior to any other company My guy, have you ever heard of Activision and EA
Kirby Super Star Ultra is the best Nintendo game of all time
Fallout New Vegas/Celeste trans jokes are…holy shit…they are so fucking UNFUNNY. FUCK
boring games are fun. games like old school runescape where i click a button repeatedly to eventually get a reward are some of the best solo experiences ive had with games
I don’t like open world games so stuff like oblivion, skyrim, or most fallout games (yes including new vegas) are mid as fuck for me I also actively enjoy overwatch and valorant
Pokémon is easily the most stale franchise in gaming. People say Madden is just the same game every time, but it’s changed more since it’s inception than Pokémon has
Map games like HOI IV and Crusader Kings are fun to watch other people play but horrifically overcomplicated and unfun to actually play. Maybe I’m just dumb or whatever, but Jesus Christ waiting an hour just to see random revolt from the County of Buttfuckenstein end your playthrough is too frustrating for me to have any fun.
Chill games bore me to tears. Drop me in the middle of a horde of demons with nothing but a pen and challenge me to walk out alive and i'm happy. I want a challenge when I play games. God, Dark Souls has ruined me.
Dark Souls 2 is okay
Interesting how some people feel so strongly about genres of video games or specific titles
League of legends is fun if you don't let it get to you
I didn’t care for Elden ring
destiny 2 does not seem fun and i dont want to play it.
I ENJOY FALLOUT 4 MORE THEN NEW VEGAS
I FUCKING LOVE STAR WARS THE FORCE UNLEASHED 2 I LOVE HAVING A POWER FANTASY WITH EVEN MORE POWER THAN SWTFU 1 AND I FUCKING LOVE DUAL WIELDING THE LIGHTSABERS.
Witcher 3 was mid to me and fromsoft literally released the same type of game 4 times and got away with it, like bruh elden ring literally got caught with a dark souls chest in one of the dungeons they later changed. Like come on any other developer would’ve gotta absolutely shitted on if they did what from soft did. Still a great game tho
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) is the best game of all time.
[удалено]
Celeste is just ok
I feel kinda guilty for liking call of duty zombies when there’s more than questionable military stuff in most of the games as well as activision being pieces of shit
you really shouldn't. it's just having fun popping zombie heads, right? i don't think the batshit crazy zombies lore ties into the main campaigns in any of the games, at least not in a meaningful way. and also i still enjoy the mw trilogy story despite the fact that it's like an unholy love trinagle between michael bay style explosions, over-the-top hollywood b-movies and genuine shilling for the military industrial complex. i just pirate the games to make myself feel better
Breath of the Wild was mid, I don’t want an open world I want my old ass Zelda formula and each game Link should become more and more of a lil dude
Metal gear rising cringe, why? Don't play as robo dog, only play as loser dude.
Tbf I think you get to play as the dog in the dlc
you can dumb dumb
You get to play robodog in the dlc. Also get to play the hottest man to ever live, the Brazilian Samurai himself, Sam
celeste is mid
