Why are Gen X devs so kino?
Why are Gen X devs so kino?
They actually loved video games.
Video games were a new medium, so they were having fun and hiring people from everywhere, they didn't have to be video game major graduates or coding experts.
this
but also rock and roll
thats the key to the kino thats lacking
no bitches
nu game devs are like
ugh so many white males around here. we need more diversity. maybe if we ruined everything we used to like about games, a girl will join our team!!
late boomer devs seemed pretty based too
peak corporate decadence makes 70s/80s atari sound like the candyland dream version of a codemonkey job
half the office just getting stoned in the womens bathroom all day because they had a couch. a fucking hottub in the office building. corporate cards that you could charge for literally whatever
Turns out having to pioneer a new field that mixes art and technology, is a pretty good competence filter.
Gen X weren't terminally online or raised in video game culture, they had varied interests and that showed in their games, they were earnest and creative.
Because we loved in a world before estrogen and anime.
Anime is the basis of all that is good in this world.
Also, anime website.
and extreme levels of soul in the workplace
you say that but look at carmack
that guy was prolly programming before he could even read
its not clear he knows how to do anything else
theres always been call for the highly specialized turbosperg in computing
Because we "loved in"a world
You mean "lived in" right. Also didn't the anime boom start during the 90s when a lot of these games were made?
gen x ARE the HR harridans ruining everything today
pulling up the ladder after them like the boomers did, but socially instead of economically
Not really.
He was childhood delinquent before discovering computers in his computer lab in school, well into his teens.
even looks like he's working in midgar
They actually loved video games
This, this, this, THIS!
these are ENGINEERS, anon
not devs
not programmers
ENGINEERS
glad i lived my young age in that period.
its was so good
Carmack was a sociopathic super sperg, Who tried to steal apple II computers from his school with Vaseline mixed Thermite . The only reason he got caught is because his accomplish was a fat kid who tripped the alarm.
He also later had his cat put down.
every single hr person I've seen has been a millennial woman, usually black.
graduates or experts
The absolutely worst thing you can bring into art.
id Software hired experts like Abrash, but he only did the cryptic low-level coding work after Carmack.
Romero or Peterson or McGee or Hall weren't professional game designers or level designers because there was no such thing back then.
Carmack wasn't a professional game designer, he was just sitting there and "no, this feature is too hard to implement and I don't like it" or "this thing is fucking awesome, it's a pain in the ass but it will be worth it to fit it into the game, let's do this".
Prince was a goddman lawyer.
Adrian weren't a professionally taught artist, he was tracing gore pictures at medical college.
Cloud wasn't an artist either, he had a degree in fucking politics.
Probably the only professional that worked on early id games is Trent Reznor.
One of the most based man to ever make a game. Possibly most based of them all.
They loved videogames and they actually wanted to make games people enjoyed, not political lectures disguised as "videogames" like "devs" of today do.
why vermins hate carmack so much
Kike enabling faggots.
Nope, HR is millennials.
Worst generation that has ever and will ever exist.
Oy vey, too many white men.
Jay had some background experience with business stuff and Sandy already worked with games before he was hired by ID. Traditional games instead of computer games but still, they're games. Romero even said he picked up on map design right away.
so he was a fuck up and then learned2computer and then only did that for the rest of his life
point stands
look im not throwing shade at the guy. hes one of the greats. im just saying. kids nowadays, that grow up autistically fixated on one thing, arent really that different in practice from the geeks of the past. those older guys undoubtedly all got bullied constantly in school by 80s chad for playing gay games on their computers all day. hell they prolly had it worse since 80s chad was undoubtedly a total prick
no, see the problem is what that one thing a kid gets autistically fixated on actually is. in the past it was, oh imma just read 32bit computing architecture in my spare time and figure out a way to make a pseudo-3D engine that runs on shitbox computers running DOS
nowadays its more along the lines of absurdly niche porn shit, or some other nu-world tism like social media
tl;dr
theres simply a lot more autistic holes to fall into nowadays, and theyre all less productive than those of yesteryear
but also rock and roll
I feel like every game back in the day embraced some subgenre of rock. Now almost no games have a metal soundtrack in them. Even racing games ditched it.
based, it's time to start calling out the yellow jew
1) video game board
2) 1 board about anime--8 different hentai variant boards
if anything it's a hentai website which sort of makes it a sex tourist situation
this rock is the spirit of the white man
rap is soulless music about blacks institutionalized by corporate ghetto culture
i dont think every game needs some punk/metal OST or whatever. in fact i think thats a very strong color and should be used carefully.
its that outsider attitude of just "fuck off imma do what i want" is just completely vanished from the entire industry. you learn that from being a dumb rock n roll retard. or at least thats the most common way ime
Jay had no input on games at all. Something we can't have anymore with CEOs.
Sandy had no idea how to make FPS levels and you can clearly see this from his experimental map people still cry about. But he was so deep in love with (DnD) games he still made it work, especially considering the amount of maps.
institutionalized by corporate ghetto culture
bleak
also true
glad im not black lol
Sure his maps were somewhat ugly and maybe too experimental sometimes but he also made a LOT of maps and a good chunk of them are great.
idk
Lead poisoning?
They had enough slush money to do whatever they wanted with no risks. You and your buddies could rent an office complex for a year and shit out whatever fucking product you wanted and had guaranteed success, and if it all flopped you were only out like a months salary at a grocery store.
a good chunk of them are great
Im not convinced experimental even qualifies, in the same way a childs drawing is "experimental" it lacks all the base concepts and principles that make a good map. Tricks n Traps, Barrels o fun, and Downtown are like maps youd make in high school thinking "variety is the spice of life" his maps are so hogwash they had to invent a lore reason about "TIME AND SPACE BEGIN SHIFTING AND LMAO THERES NO CONTINUITY BETWEEN MAPS!!!! ENJOY YOUR WARIOWARE DOOM CAMPAIGN"
rock and roll is vidya related
based
listen to the dictators

filtered by Tricks n Traps of all maps
One thing I've learned in life is that only Whites and Asian men are capable of doing anything at a meaningful level
Tricks n Traps is a cool map.
Its GAY, sandy
You're gay.
Im rubber youre glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you
Shut up fag. Doom 2 has enough questionable maps but it definitely not one of them.
Sandys maps belong on some freeware wadpack, not in a retail product.
Sure thing champ.
Hi Sandy, I hope you're doing well
Because they were hyperfocused autistic neets. It's that simple.
He absolutely does.
late 60s
playing some hippy festival
everyones just waiting for the byrds to come on

DUDE WHITE PEOPLE ! WHITE DEVS ! ONLY WHITE DEVS MAKE GOOD GAMES DUDE ! DID I MENTION THE WHITE RACE ???
hey lesser lester
Where do you see white people being mentioned in the OP you fucking schizo? Are you having another company mandated sperg out because people are pointing out how devs weren’t always a bunch of soulless drones that cared about making a quality games?
is that from the mingus song?
youtube.com
Everyone knows what you're doing. Shut the FUCK up.
who fucking cares if niggers cant into computers?
they used to make their own cool shit too
they got subverted
heil hitler nigger
Fuck off faggot, go cry about how corporate shart #103619 that comes out in a decade will be game of the year in 2035.
