                You said it’s the fault of millennials. They’re not the ones in charge you fricking idiot. Millennials aren’t the shareholders, they don’t have millions of dollars invested and at stake with these games. You think these homosexual ass greedy boomers and genxrs would ever give them that? There’s a reason they Stil control less than 5% of the national wealth, millennials don’t have shit. They don’t run shit. They don’t own shit.

                No. I'm flat out saying you don't know understand that a whodunnit is a specific type of mystery and just because a story has a mystery doesn't mean it's a whodunnit. Ever seen the movie Seven, for example? That's a mystery film. It's about trying to catch a serial killer by following clues. But it's not a whodunnit. There's no way for the audience to deduce the identity of the killer before the characters do. That's the distinction. That doesn't make Seven a badly written film.

        This is a pretty accurate assumption, along with swearing, swearing has become white noise to fill in gaps of writing, Or to show how ‘adult’ your characters are. It’s tiring really, swearing should really be rarer in peoples writing otherwise its impact, its key punching factor for what is considered a ‘swear’, is evaporated.
        Popular media is the only thing socially acceptable to consume, everything else is usually lost on most people unless they’re also involved with your niche audience, but when everything that’s popular to indulge has the same intellectual value of as a waffle iron instruction manual, then the many people that have the opportunity to work in a professional writing environment, they’ve been so thoroughly stewed in the basic and bland material for years, they don’t know what’s actually quality they just know what ‘works’. What made them entertained but not ‘why’.
        That’s why audiences clamour and hold the most just barely above average things as gospel because for the last 13 years barely any media has done anything of substance, or have been remakes of what worked, or sequels of things that worked before. That goes into a different context of committee design, a lot of the most popular modern media is given way too much budget, therefore they have to guarantee to both show their investors they’ve used that budget but make sure earn it back too, which means minimum risk, having proper intrigue or conflict, having stories or characters that may turn people away, is inherently a risk most companies cannot and will not take. Which means that run every aspect of a product though a filter made of dramatic overview, ‘this might offend, change it or cut it’, ‘Does the villain really need to do that? It could upset people, can you change it?’, ad nauseam

      We grew up in the most consumerist decade by far, right as politically correct culture was sweeping the first world. So we ended up as brand worshipers while becoming extremely sensitive to identity and racial politics. Then the 2008 housing crash happened and it shaped our future before we even became adults, and we were the first people to have to deal with those repercussions while having zero income or property which is why millennials are so obsessed with rent and leaning more on the communist side of thinking while staying pretty poor.

        I don't think that something being relatable is ever going to become dated in itself, or that it is a bad thing to go for, be it for comedic or dramatic effect. But the relatable actions need to be universal, and not tied to some current trend at the time of writing, unless that current trend is your main theme. Much of what Gilgamesh or Odysseus do in their tales is relatable, for example. Odysseus only gets into the whole mess to begin with because he can't keep himself from bragging when things go his way. That's how you do relatable characters/situations.

            It's been a while, but I think the whole thing starts when he blinds the cyclops, who is one of poseidons sons. He tells him his name so he can remember the guy who fricked him up, and that comes back to haunt him.

                Yeah, Odysseus smugly claims to be the mastermind behind the victory despite Poseidon giving him the idea of using a wooden horse. He also refuses to pay tribute to the gods so Poseidon gets triggered.

          Don't think so. Gen Z and Gen Alpha will be roughly the same size given the birth rate trends. Even though there are more Millenial women who can give birth to Gen Alphas than there were Gen X women who could have given birth to Zoomers, Millenial women are just not having babies like Gen X women did.

A woman will tell you what she wants and leave out the word "attractiveness" because it's taboo to ask for a handsome or cute spouse. Then you have forty guys in her DM's hitting every point she wants but because they have b***h breasts, resting b***h face, or serial killer eyes they get passed.

        They grew up with Joss Whedon. I never got Joss Whedon. I was the prime demographic and everyone my age seemed to love Buffy and Angel and Firefly but not me. The fricking dialogue just drove me mad. Reminder that Anita Sarkeesian did her thesis on Joss Whedon. These people really fricking loved him.

          I find it funnier that he still had a career even after his wife exposed him as a cheating b***h and the people that worked with him in Buffy outted him as a genuinely unpleasant human being.
          But only after he was accused as a racist, he disappeared from the face of the earth.

      Millennials and zoomers fear sincerity. Nothing they make feels 'real'. They don't put their real thoughts of feelings into their work, everything is a joke or ironic or some other built-in cope mechanism.

      Nobody cares about any of their shit.

        I think it’s mostly this.

        Sincerity invites risk, and risk invites failure. By acting like they don’t care, they remove agency for the shittiness of their work and that prevents them from learning how to grow. And so they get stuck in a loop of perpetual stagnancy, and that’s where things have been for the better part of a decade.

          Can you blame them? Every boomer instilled into their millenial children that failure is the worst possible thing, worse than death itself. Then millenials reached the age of 30 without having a tenth of the purchasing power their parents had when they were 30 and go into depression. Better to not even care. Let it all burn

        Something I've noticed about millennials is that they have this desperate need to "say something", but they also feel like everything worthwhile has already been said. They want to be "deep, man!" but dont have any life experience to actually say anything meaningful.

          That’s because depth is something that happens organically as a piece of work is being made. It’s not something that can be injected into the work in question like basting a turkey, or at least there’s no technique that I’m aware of that allows you to do that. You just have to love what you’re working on enough to pour your heart and soul into it. People who are moved by it will recognize the “depth” even if it isn’t really there.

        With ironically one exception: scripted comedy often works best with multiple people coming up with jokes and tying them up together. See Simpsons (older ones) and decent sitcoms. Obviously the writers need to be good, though.

      Boomers didn't have the internet telling them what's cool or not, so if they wanted to write something dumb and play it 100% straight until it became good, they could do it.
      Now we have a bunch of rules and blueprints, and a very miserable bunch of people who make fun of everything that even remotely attempts to do something. It's probably hard to write knowing everything you do will be hated unless it was already good to begin with.
      I'm willing to bet even if the game was well written, half of you frickers will call it shit just to call it shit, only to come back years later, after the franchise is already dead and act like you liked it back then.

        Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. Written by people with classical literature degrees, and it shows. Also a lot of it was written by a woman, who managed to write good archetypal male characters without emasculating them or upstaging them with girlboss self-inserts. I miss the early 2000's.

      100% completely unironically it's social media, I am not memeing.
      Writers now congregate in tiny bubbles, they are not exposed to any experiences, outside of what algorithms provide them with, aka the same shit over and over. Their horizons are tiny, they only read, speak with and meet with people, who are carbon copies of them. It's not exclusively writer problem, but general population problem. This is why society is infantilized so much now. "Growing up" is experiencing and learning new things, getting new perspectives. You can't achieve it if your life is directed by algorithm, guarding you from anything new and providing you with sludge of content identical to the previous one.

      it's because "generations" are a made up thing by people trying to sell something and aren't used by any organization like StatsCan or the U.S. Census bureau who use demographics to accuratly describe attitudes and trends in society by age group and have repeatedly put out statements on how "generations" aren't a real thing.

      The terms "silent generation", "greatest generation", "Baby boomer", "Gen-X", "Millennials", "GenZ" are all made up bullshit to innacuratly compartmentalize history in a reductionist way, ussually by marketing agencies or authors, trying to cash in on peoples ignorance about demographics with books and talking circuits.

      The "Silent Generation" was invented by Time Magazine in 1951 to sell magazine subscriptions

      The "Greatest Generation" was popularized by Tom Brokaw to sell his 1998 book called 'The Greatest Generation', the term taken from a speech to Congress by U.S. Army General James Van Fleet in 1953.

      Gen-X was popularized by Canadian author Douglas Coupland in 1991 to sell his book 'Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture'. He took the term from the title of a 1964 book called 'Generation X'

                You said it’s the fault of millennials. They’re not the ones in charge you fricking idiot. Millennials aren’t the shareholders, they don’t have millions of dollars invested and at stake with these games. You think these homosexual ass greedy boomers and genxrs would ever give them that? There’s a reason they Stil control less than 5% of the national wealth, millennials don’t have shit. They don’t run shit. They don’t own shit.

                Cool reductionism, autismo, however, milenials are not told to "write a dialog that sounds like le hecking epic twitter conversation", they are just told to "write lines for 20-something character" and this is what they produce. You can put part of the blame on him for having too much trust in his monkeys. Never said he is 100% clear? It's still milenials who wrote this.

It's genuinely sad seeing whites speedrun a generation into being little hoodrats and y'all are wondering why well spoken browns with degrees are preferred hires when the EEO-1 quota's already been met. homies have always been fatherless so we learn how to cope. This is the first white generation raised entirely by women or homosexuals and it's worse than anything we've ever made.

              honestly gay and moron being used as a insult and long past overdue for extinction. Not because of SJW nonsense or anything but because its a low road copout and a majority of the fun that comes from name-calling and ad hominem usage is flexing your imagination to paint a mental image in your opponents head.

              getting into a online altercation and calling someone a "stupid moron" or "gay "u suck dick) is shameful dispray and no effort. why even have a brain if you arent gonna use it?

              Not to mention just with the direction that western society has moved in now calling someone "gay" really really doesnt have that same "sting" like it used to. people dont care about being gay anymore. some are even proud of it. its not a insult anymore because a measure of people choose to actively make it part of their personality.

              we need to find new insults. we need our top minds on it. we can use Call of Duty's proximity chat as the perfect testing grounds.

It's very hard to get long insults right, you have to have the charisma to pull it off, which ,let's face it, most people don't. a simple "fricking idiot" will work better than "I don’t have the time or the crayons to explain it to you." or “You lack so much brain matter that you’d float on water.”

                Nah. I believe moron and Black person are so used and fought over despite being "bad" is because they are, above all, appropiate.
                Sometimes someone does or says something so stupid that these are the proper words most people would find "correct" to use to emphazise just how moronic that thing was. If they werent effective at describing a specific certain type of sentiment then they would die on their own.

              • 10 months ago

                The thing is that you need words that are universally understood to mean "I really fricking hate you and you make me furious". It just so happens that every word in the english language that does that is a slur towards some type of group.

                I don't think moron is a slur at all. Being moronic, or disabled in any other way, is objectively a bad thing. It's the most natural insult to exist.

                Personally I find that "moron" has moved on from mentally handicapped people. My brother has autism and helping him grow to accomodate to society better has made me seen many other autistic or mentally handicapped people and at least for me the word has no connection to them whatsoever.

                Of course. Because they don't use it anymore. Originally the politically correct term for the mentally handicapped was "mongoloid" but that began to be used as a slur so they changed the politically correct term for the mentally handicapped to be "moron", which just means slow, but that began to be used as a slur too so they changed the politically correct term to "mentally disabled" but that also began to be used as a slur so now they've changed to politically correct term to "neurodivergent". That too will be a slur soon enough.

I think it's a growing trend now that Cali refugees are infesting Texas and are trying to assimilate into the culture.

              I'm reminded of this one post on lit or someplace like that by a guy who lamented what happened to the femdom scene. Like the way it transformed from eating pussy and liking women who initiate sex to whatever the frick it is nowadays.

              People are having a very hard time describing it exactly, but I would define it as sexuality with male passivity.
              I don't think it comes down to how explicit it is. You can have a girl show her breasts in a game and it still be safe horny as long as she's the most active participant.
              Normal horny would be a young guy peering into the girls' shower room to catch a glimpse of sideboob. Safe horny would be the same girl offering to strip for the guy in exchange for money.
              When the natural roles of a sexually aggressive male and a chaste female are subverted, that's safe horny. When mystique and romance is removed and sex is made into a commodity, that's safe horny. When attitudes towards sex are reflective of modern promiscuity, with virginity shamed and casual sex the expected norm, that's safe horny.

              Huh. So it wasn't literally safe but rather politically safe.

      you did not read this thread, see

      Intellectual incestuousness due to millennial writers hailing from an extremely specific geographic, ideological, and socioeconomic milieu while simultaneously rejecting other influences due to outside influences not aligning with their extremely specific milieu's values.

      We grew up in the most consumerist decade by far, right as politically correct culture was sweeping the first world. So we ended up as brand worshipers while becoming extremely sensitive to identity and racial politics. Then the 2008 housing crash happened and it shaped our future before we even became adults, and we were the first people to have to deal with those repercussions while having zero income or property which is why millennials are so obsessed with rent and leaning more on the communist side of thinking while staying pretty poor.

      Because we had much easier lives. The true heart and passion in writing stems from past hardships.

    gen xers wrote about rent way more because their parents were literal boomers who kicked them out the second they turned 18 because they thought that was tradition even though their parents didn't do it to them and having non-multi generational homes has never been normal anytime in history. If you watch or read much gen x media it's largely glorifying destitute living or complaining about rent. The more lighthearted media (sitcoms, etc) just write an excuse about them having a rent controlled apartment or just having most of the main cast be wealthy.

          No, but maybe. It really depends on if Zoomer parents realize and acknowledge the mistakes of their parents, and go in the radically opposite direction. We saw this with Gen-X raising Millennials. Boomers were kind of absent and Gen-X went in the complete opposite direction and became obsessed with "safety" and constantly coddling their children. Who do you think invented the "participation trophy"?

          The older Zoomers will probably be shit parents but the ones who are 10/11 right now will probably be pretty decent.

Loud House makes having a VR headset in every house seem normal.

    The reason why so many games (and media) sucks is because of the writer's hubris and disdain for the audience. They think they're better than you and are mad that they can only get paid making media for people they think are sub-human. The new Saints Row reboot hates the Saints Row audience. It's actively meant to piss you off. The homosexuals at Volition got mad that their Agents of Mayhem game flopped hard and their company went bankrupt so now they're trying to get payback on the consumer.

      I don't know if this is true but I was watching some review of the latest update for the game and they've apparently patched a bunch of "Saints Row" memorabilia into the game for display in the crib. I put Saints Row in quotes because there is absolutely nothing from SR1&2. All the trophies and references and shit are to SR3&4. If that's not fricking contempt I don't know what is. It's well known the key people behind SR1&2 are long gone from Volition but we're starting to get a good idea of just how much the current crew of Volition dislike that old crew. Millennials really aren't big fan of the "standing on the shoulders of giants" idea. They hate the people that came before them.

          I was more of the opinion that most people get a somewhat useful degree that lands them a proper job that pays like $60-70k a year. Since they don't live in HUSTLE AND BUSTLE of NYC, LA or Bay area, that $60-70k allows most people to pay for their non-prestige college costs. I went to B tier in-state college + law school and paid only $49k in total which came out to about $65k worth of debt + costs and interest.

    I don’t think that most writers or creative people have much control over these IP’s, anyway. They are more of less given a target demographic and a basic blueprint to
    aim that is decided upon by the big wigs corporation CEO’s and chairmen, I thought it was basic and obvious that many of these people are not in full control? They generally write and make things according to what caters the most most to basic mainstream appeal, you don’t hardly even see anything that is very novel and unique anymore, it’s mostly just the same big franchises and already established brands, really.

    I don’t know how much these people know about marketing but it obviously factors pretty big into the equation, I imagine that it’s not very fulfilling writing or coming up with creative or artistic ideas that are based solely on how well something will sell, that kind of takes the love right out of it.

Anyone who does something like that is dangerous because apparently their brains can be rewired into supporting or opposing anything.

              inflation going up is useful if you want to pay off big debts you've accrued (and are still getting paid in line WITH said inflation of course) If that $5000 debt you took two years ago can now be paid in a single paycheck: That's pretty great, for you.
              It tends to make people spend more (because things cost more)
              That's kind of it. Inflation is terrible. Deflation can also be terrible because people historically get REALLY upset when you pay them "less" but the current way most economies work mean deflation is a fricking myth.

                >and are still getting paid in line WITH said inflation of course
                Not gonna happen. People foolish enough to willingly get in debt because it's "normal" reap what they sow.

                I mean petty observation aside the economy doesn't want you to get paid in line with inflation because that's a really great way to cause inflation. Unfortunately, since people need to live and like being paid in line with inflation, they tend to (at least initially) ask for pay rises, at least in competitive markets you're fricked as a labour drone but hey you're used to that.

                Nah I've been unemployed longer than some of you have probably been alive. It's more that you have spoken in nothing but catchphrases in a thread complaining about them.

                That makes your information extra worthless since you're not "in with it" and prone to misunderstanding the youth much like the writers of the Saint's Row remake did.

      It does help that nobody has actually read Das Kapital and lived so if you want to be or comprehend Marxist communism you kind of have to read the pampthlet. At least you're better off than reading the little red book. I've read that and either the translation is fricking dogshit and/or Mao wrote like a fricking child.

          What's wrong with this one? Especially in a thread about the problems with generational writing quirks.

    why do so-called "millennials" cause so much seethe, even here now apparently (probably due to Ganker being incredibly easy to manipulate into using buzzwords and other moronic shit)
    millennials are probably the number one users of Ganker, so whats the deal?
