Wish I could, I am TERRIFIED of ticks and that fricking one man-made disease.
it's too scary for the coasties
I mean, as a west coastie myself, a cozy cryptid hunt/investigation game set in rural northern midwest sounds pretty cool. Or even just something like Firewatch of playing a national park ranger.
its always ruined by DUDE EVIL CONSERVATIVES tropes anyway
Because it's boring, cities have always been where the action is intellectually, artisitcally, politcally and socially. That said mountains are comfy
>cities have always been where the action is intellectually, artisitcally, politcally and socially
More works of literature that have defined the medium of writing as a whole were written by lonely dudes (and a few equally lonely women) living out in cottages in the middle of bumbfrick Corntown than urbanites. The only thing "artistically" that has come from cities was postmodern shit.
That stopped being true after the 19th century. Get with the times gramps.
You do realize cities were invented before the 20th century right?
You didn't list a single worhwhile thing
Limp-wristed urbanite scum
cities are where intellectuals verbalize thoughts others have already created then take credit for them
cities also mean drama, noise, crime and bad air quality.
but your points are valid too
small towns are famously known for being drama free
>there is no drama in small/rural towns
lol, lmao even
I’m not murican but where I live you don’t see lgbt, blm, climate activists blocking the roads etc in small towns. that’s city shit
that's because nobody cares or pays attention to protests in small towns
that’s what I meant when I said no drama
Dealing with busy bodies who don't respect your privacy isn't any better than the rare protest or climate activist.
just live like picrel bro
Mmmmm, packed earth architecture. Ironically, as a former contractor, my concern with working with that stuff is more that it feels too nice to be busted open for plumbing and wiring maintenance. You know, despite earthen construction being associated with poverty and primitiveness.
Meanwhile, you can frick up drywall until next tuesday and it's no skin off anyone's back.
Youve never watched 20/20 or unsolved mysteries and it shows
>noooo you can't romanticise the flyover states
>they're terrible, trust me
>california and new york are heaven on earth!!!!!
Being robbed at gunpoint is part in parcel with the hustle & bustle of city living. It's worth it.
Dying from drug overdoses and preventable disease is part in parcel with the idyllic living out here in the de industrialized central america. It's worth it.
You should be humiliated for thinking this was an appropriate response.
Last I checked syphilis and fent were mainly urban problems
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db403-H.pdf
Death itself is mostly an urban problem. Less people die in my town than the city so I'm less likely to die.
>syphilis
Not even in the top 10 diseases you are most likely to die from outside of flyover country.
>noooo you can't romanticise the icky cities
>they're terrible, trust me
>texas and florida are heaven on earth!!!!!
majority of florida and texas poulation are urban cities moron
Wrong moron, they're rural paradise for big boy chads like me far away from the Black folk and israelites.
>By 2021, the population in Texas topped 29.7 million, with the urban population increasing by 44.08% over the period to comprise 89.35% of the total. The rural population increased by only 9.82% from 2001 to 2021, to almost 3.2 million (10.65% of the total).

so is upstate NY by that moron metric
>far away from the Black folk and israelites.
you don't live in the south else you would know that's where they all are.
Jesus I swear you yanks are the biggest LARPers
Florida is a shithole and please stop coming down here. Go away.
Florida is a based freedom loving state where no israelites are allowed.
Florida literally has the second-largest israeli population in the union
It is where every NY israelite moves to when they retire

Just commute in and go to a club and stay over night, congrats you've participated in all the best parts the city has to offer....
Wut?
Cities, specically NYC in my case have specific taxes on goods and services.
Its why a bottle of water is $1.50 in fort lee but $3 in manhatten.
>mfw i pay $1,400 a month for a sutdio appartment

>>my uncle pays $600 month for a mortgage on a 5b 2br house in North Carolina

Literally no 5br house would have a 600 mortgage in the US anymore.
you forgot the part where your uncle took out a fixed rate motgage from 40 years ago.
>Cons of city living
>public transit
Fricking no, Public Transit is one of the best fricking part of cities, It actively sucks when a city doesn't have it.
Double edged sword imo, I have seen my share of absolutely horrendous sights on the public transport. Nothing like a bunch of kids in the back smoking pot, and the cops getting called and getting stuck in a bus well the cops are clearing everything up. I just wanna get home some days.
This sounds like a cop problem to me, just let the kids smoke pot at that point.
Ive ridden the subway in NYC many a times outside of Manhattan and seen some pretty bad shit myself, but yeah its one of the better parts of a city.
>a cop problem
I don't want a a fricking hotboxed bus well I am just trying to get home.
I personally dont like the 3 hour drive I have to take just to have a job that doesn't pay pennies, we all have to live with some negatives, but at least on the bus your focus doesn't have to be on the 500 buttholes sharing the road with you.
You sound like an 17 year old cringelord. Please confirm so mods can ban you.
Ah you fricking kid got so btfo you are resorting to this.
Have you never taken a bus before?

its not fun. You may think I'm exxageratting but I'm really not.
Yeah most of us don't live in LA.
Neither do I. Go ahead and pretend its different in NY even though it isn't.
Go ahead and pretend it's the same in NY even though it isn't and you don't live there.
I love how in half these stories trying to spin a narrative that cities are awful always involve blacks being scawy lmao
Black folk are scary, they commit a lot of crime and if you've ever been a 14 year old lone white boy on a bus when 10 rowdy 18 year old Black folk show up talking about how they beat the shit out of some guy its very scary.
>14 year old lone white boy on a bus
funny way of spelling 20 year old 'white' lankelt lol
>Black folk are scary, they commit a lot of crime and if you've ever been a 14 year old lone white boy on a bus when 10 rowdy 18 year old Black folk show up talking about how they beat the shit out of some guy its very scary.
You're a fricking pussy.
Its always pretty funny when big manly white guys are scared shitless by the blacks.
Even funnier that most of them aren't manly or big (aside from beiing fat)
Yes.
Notice how Chad carries himself and how timid Timmy goes about his day.
>horses dont drink bad water
I still would not recomend doing that.
Forgot the part where you get parasites, bacterial infections, viral infections, and die
Timmy is really weak and fat so seeing non whites with muscles causing him to have a beta male fit.
His homosexuality flares when he's around masculine browns and blacks.
But his pure white DNA is scared of non whites.
It's a weird mix of homosexuality and racism, he probably has pictures of dicks on his phone/pc and will assure you it's just for the jokes.
Truly a mutt made in the US.
Just sit at the front of the bus. homies automatically sit in the back of the bus no matter what.

Plug your nose.
>Nothing like a bunch of kids in the back smoking pot,
US issue because you gays are afraid of a plant.
It's legal in Europe.
Yeah, but those guys never left their childhood home so they're stuck in middle school, mentally.
So if I am in europe, I can rip a spliffy on the bus without a care in the world? Or will I be asked to stop? And if I don't will you call the cops to escort me?
Also not from America, and weed is legal here, but like ciggerates you can't do it on public transport.
>in Europe
this continent not a monolith, almost everything east of Germany has it banned too
as someone whos ridden the subway outside of manhattan saying "its the best part of the city" isnt exactly the brag you wanted it to be but i kind of agree...

oooowieeee cities are 4 me!
Oh you are in LA, no wonder you are so pissy. I refer you to this post.
>It actively sucks when a city doesn't have it.
no im the NYC guy, i just think cities are shit and thought it was generally agreed upon which is why we invented "sub-urbs"
The only people who live in the city are people who HAVE TO because of work or poverty.
We invited suburbs because a bunch of wealthy white people didnt want to live next to blacks, israelites, Italians, and the Irish. That is it.
I mean they also moved out of the city too.. Moneysey NY for the israelites, Hackensack for the italians, Rockland for the irish....
they all got out, no one wants to live there lol.
Rich foreigners and the children of small towners keep moving to new york because nobody wants to live there lol
You could've just said morons.
No. People move out from their small towns so they don't have to put up with fricking morons like you.
Suburbs have been a thing since fricking Roman times. A lot of people even back then just don't enjoy living in apartments and dealing with the issues of a big city living.
America specifically built them for the reason I listed above, I didnt say America invented them moron.
You typed invited, which was clearly a mistype of invented. If not then tell me what the mistype was supposed to be
I used invented then because the other one did, You are right though I should have added some quotations around it and spelled it right.
No worries anon, thank you for recognizing the mistake, and wish you well.
>i just think cities are shit
Then fricking leave?
Come live down here and see if you like it. I bet you wont, I bet you would be back in NYC in an instant.
Lol Godot avatar gay owned the nyc moron so hard he quit responding.
>suburb shitter hates cities while LARPing as a ruralgay
what a shock
i live a next to a dairy farm and apple orchard. I grew up in the sub-urbs going to the city in my early 20s but i bought land up north. I've seen all 3 and prefer rural, least prefer urban.

There is hard statistical proof that the more people drive, the shorter their commute time is
I grew up and lived in the city for over three decades and none of this shit aside from the occasional smell or homeless guy/crying baby has ever happened to me. You people are massive fricking pussies.
He lives in LA.
Oh nvm then.
nope but thanks for sharing moron :^)

100 percent agree.
We need another war.

>public transit
this is a good thing
>travel is more expensive
i'm pretty sure walking a couple blocks to a store is less expensive than me having to drive 30 minutes to the nearest walmart
literally my only complaint about living in the woods, that and the shitty internet speeds
sure just make sure you leave 2 hours early because its a 48 block walk...
>cons of city living
>public transit
Am I too European to understand that?
Do you have people publically jerking off, doping crack, randomly hitting themselves, randomly attacking people and also shouting and screaming on your public transport?
>Do you have people publically jerking off, doping crack,
European people are pretty sexually liberal and narcotics aren't too frowned upon.
Leave your small town for once. In Canada I would frick chicks in public and no one would bat an eye.
While getting blown under a bridge some dude gave me the thumbs up.
It's just Americans that are afraid of sex.
Would even frick chicks behind a Dooley's dumpster.
A degenerate parading as a superior.
Tales of these people are written in the Bible.
>Do you have people publically jerking off
Google search "Dogging" for me.
No that anon is just a moron, The few america cities with halfway decent PT are great most of them in the North East.
But most America cities don't have PT or barely have it so many city dwellers in America have no idea how great PT is.
I’ve been to London and Berlin. It’s just as shitty and disgusting as it is in america.
>webm of Paris subway literally packed with africans and arabs and nobody else

>that bottom row and top row together

>Cons of city living
But enough about Commieofornia.
Facts. I've met like hundreds of people and they said there is frick all to do out there.
I think an issue is people that move to cities are the ones who couldn't find fun shit to do. I have family that lives in bumfrick nowhere, they have a nice house and lots of land. Whenever we visit them, we would go on the ATVs, go hunting a bit, practice instruments, drink and get together and dance. A famous passtime during winter is to tie a rope to a snowmobile and attach it to a tobagan and race around with a person on the back, if your person stays on longer, you win. It's redneck fun, and honestly no idea why the people in the city look down on it when their idea of "stuff to do", is all non physical unless it's going to club or concert and doing drugs. Like you can do art and pottery and cooking classes in bumfrick nowhere, buy the tools and invite some friends over with some beer. have a good fricking time. You don't need to pay 150$ per a class to sit around and roll clay according to how a teacher tells you to, youtube exists.
not all city dwellers look down on that kind of thing, though some definitely do. for many, it's just that they can drive an hour and do all that, then go back home and also enjoy what the city has to offer. though I guess that works both ways
I live in one of the most crowded cities in North America, and people definitely look down at that shit. When I tell people I go hunting they are stunned and think I am psychotic mass murderer. The city offers little outside of classes, museums and clubs. It honestly feels like people have no attention span when I talk with them in the city, they must always be having new experiences or else they get depressed.
You're being the same kind of homosexual that you're b***hing about though, looking down your nose at people who live in cities while claiming they look down on you. You're going to get old and bitter fast if you can't see the fact that you're as bad as them.
My problem is much more how it's just so fast paced all the time, every day is new shit to do, or else they are comatose on the couch. My buddies I lvoe em to death, but if they aren't going to a new resturant or club every other night they get extremely depressed quick. My take is more about how quickly these people fall into depression. And it's sorta obvious too looking at antidepressant rates in cities.
>The city offers little outside of classes, museums and clubs.
small town america offers even less than that.
>A famous passtime during winter is to tie a rope to a snowmobile and attach it to a tobagan and race around with a person on the back, if your person stays on longer, you win. It's redneck fun
God that reminds me of several birthdays back in grade school.
>Birthday party on his parent's farm
>Tonnes of snow
>His father tied a lot of large inflatable swim rings to the back of a tractor
>One or two of us in every ring
>Raced through the fields
It was so much fun.
Beauty of the country side, is making fun with what you have, and also not worrying about injuries.
>and also not worrying about injuries.
I don't even remember a single injury despite us smashing into the tractor wheels when it came to a stop.
The oddest shit to me is amount of fear city people have of being injured, was with a buddy the other day and we decided to go out hiking.
>go out hiking with buddy
>he doesn't go out too much typical office worker, but has always wanted to
>we are getting a bit tired on the way down from the trail
>he trips up a bit, ends up falling and cutting his leg on a rock
>nothing major just a normal rock cut, bit of blood
>he is screaming in pain, instantly calls 911 to pick him up
>I am just standing there thinking how can someone like this even exist, the cut wasn't bad at all
>ambulance picks him up, ended up getting stitches and charged for it
>for a fricking cut that is barely a scrape
still blows my mind to this day, as someone who has had his fair share of injuries, and a lot more serious than that I have never gotten stitches for any. And never screamed like a child from it.
I've been accused of acting like a tough guy by some people that live in a city because I could ignore a small injury. They were insisting I go to the ER because of what was essentially 20 drops of blood. I don't understand it either.
lmao, I've also been accused of acting "brave and stupid" over things like cuts or coming in with a stuffy nose and not taking a full day PTO over it. For whatever reason, this shatters their worldview and they feel inferior and lash out as a result. Glad I don't work in a city office anymore.
>The oddest shit to me is amount of fear city people have of being injured,
You need to experience pain to build a tolerance to it.
City folk tend to never want any sort of discomfort.
You friend is a homosexual.
>durr city people love doing drugs
amazing how many rural folk say shit like this without even the tiniest shred of irony or self-awareness.
I'll take city life both IRL and in vidya over Opioid Addiction Simulator 2K23 or Meth Simulator 9000
You're wrong and insane.
He's right
You're wrong.
Cope my guy.
More people die of overdoses in the cities, the boonies however have a higher rate per capita.
More people die in cities than in small towns, that's why I'm less likely to die than you if you live in the city.
Death is a certainty for everyone. Being the victim of a violent crime is not.
You know know the idea that cities have higher violent crime rates than smaller towns is bunk right?
https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/tn/athens/crime

Yes that is how you rate crime rate you absolute idiot.
And yet the FBI does it per 100,000.
HOLY FRICKING SHIT! Take a statistics class moron.
hey moron see:
I am less likely to die because I don't live in the city because most people who die live in cities. Just cope my guy.
Man you are moronic. Your own tools show you what a shithole NYC is and you don't even realize it.
>compares crime rate against national average and tells you what percentage of cities are worse
>there are many, many more small cities and towns than large cities
>NYC has a crime index of 15, meaning it's in the bottom 15% of safety
>85% of cities are safer than it
>of which the vast majority are small towns
lol
>Man you are moronic. Your own tools show you what a shithole NYC is and you don't even realize it.
I'm not arguing for NYC.
List a small town with a smaller average crime rate. very curious what you list.
You're so mad.
>85% of US cities are safer than NYC
You're wrong and delusional.
Directly taken from
List a rural city safer then.
>Have to subscribe to check smaller cities
No thank you.
Name the city and Ill look it up anon.
Dying from overdosing is also not a certainty. Both are less likey to happen to me because I don't live in the city where more people die than the town I live in.
>Hunting
>Hiking
>Woodworking
>Shooting
>Bonfires
>Camping
>Mudding
>Fishing
We also have bars and restaurants, too. Literally no idea what cities offer in exchange for all of these. Surely it isn't Black folk and homeless camps.
i liked living in nyc more than my small town
thats because you're a troony loving homosexual, normal people dont like it
Whatever makes you feel better.
Upstate New York is heaven on earth, actually. And I don’t mean westchester county or Albany.
where the frick are you from? unless you have a remote job and live in adirondack park this place fricking sucks
How are the steamed hams up there?
How would he know, he said he is not in Albany...
North Country > Upstate
t. lives in Cuse
Upstate New York is a flyover shithole between boston
Really? Because I'm from Utica and that place is a shithole.
Utica is western NY, not upstate moron
Yes the Adirondacks are a part of upstate NY good 4th grade reading comprehension
Syracuse is Central NY not upstate
Stop being moronic
Isn't there a whole named and important event in like the 40s or 50s about all forms of media near simultaneously stopped making content about farmers and large families to instead make shit about city slicker things?
I grew up in rural Canada.
Woods are shit, cities are shit, life is shit then you die.

>addicts stealing to fund their vices that are statistically way greater in the cities
>peak rural experience

>believes the complete opposite
How does someone come to believe the complete opposite of reality?
>what is per capita
moron
He grew up in the Midwest, you'll have to excuse his public math education.
Most people don't deserve an education anyway. Why does a truck driver need to read? Why does a factory worker need to read? Why does a clerk need to read? Why does a construction worker need to read? Most people should not have access to books, the internet, or any film that provokes thought. The rich degenerates of today were poor elevated by their ability to read during social upheaval.
>education == being able to read
Ehm
>Why does a truck driver need to read?
Comes in handy when you want to know where you are or where you're going.
>why do manual laborers need to read
I don't know, maybe to avoid workplace accidents? I figure someone as intelligent as yourself wouldn't miss something like a truck driver not being able to read "SPEED LIMIT" as being a problem.
You didn't list a single worhwhile thing
Limp-wristed urbanite scum
I was making fun of you equating education with literacy moron-kun.
I do powder coating for a living, I think I'll trust common sense over a LARPing soillenial virgin.
There was a truck driver a year or so back who killed several dozen people because he couldn't read
He got a slap on the wrist because he was a Mexican immigrant
Big if true.
Crime and addiction is so much higher per capita in the city. Cities are cess pits of crime and drug abuse. What the frick are you even on about?
>"this mugger stabbing me to death is really irrelevant due to the sheer number of people around me not helping who arent being stabbed"
Not even per capita you moron.
citygays have nervous breakdowns if they see a tree. someone post the pic.
exurb gays have nervous breakdowns if they see a black guy.
understandable
if you're a pussy
Proving my point.
Your point that you're a dimwit who's going to get eaten by your own pet apes the moment you turn your back.
You're a bunch of dimwitted cowards. And you know it.
Lowering your guard around Black folk is just plain stupidity.
Yep you're a coward and a moron.
>dimwit thinks cities literally have no trees
exurb gays are beyond pathetic.

You're projecting.

I'm literally describing what you're doing. You are projecting your bot mindset, you all think like
because you're a bunch of pathetic dimwits.
But
is right, you're a fool if you relax around blacks
You respond exactly like an NPC.
The idea that you shouldn't pay attention to statistics and trends is peak NPC. Even black people shouldn't relax around blacks
>the idea that you shouldn't mindlessly hate blacks is peak NPC
You're a Steve Sailer NPC.
>he doubles down on his bot-like behavior, now taking word from word my post
kek, you really can't form your own thoughts right now can you?
>triples down on his projection
You have no thoughts of your own because you have no brain, literal single digit IQlet.
Wait, if I'm projecting then by definition it's my inner thoughts I'm projecting. Yet you say I have no thoughts. You truly are braindead kek
You have no inner thoughts because you are a braindead bot. You just project your own moronation onto everyone else like the pathetic midwit you are.
kek, am I a single digit iq or a midwit? oh wait, you don't know what midwit means do you?
I called you a dimwit not a midwit. Learn to read you dimwit.
kek you literally just wrote
>the pathetic midwit you are.
you are so furious right now you don't even know what you're typing lmao
>literally doesn't know how to read
You're not beating those dimwit accusations lol
kek whatever, you still said
>midwit you are.
and then said
>I called you a dimwit not a midwit.
that's embarrassing

kek, city gays are pathetic
bruh ayo finna bouta FRICK homie! *sucker punches you*
That's what my apartment complex did when prices skyrocketed and an influx of Black folk came into our community. We suddenly got 10x more complaint emails sent out to all residents about things that I've never seen before like "don't dump your garbage over the balcony" or being told the pool is closed for the first time because someone intentionally destroyed the water pump the night prior.
>prices skyrocketed and an influx of Black folk came into our community
Big if true.
The ones that came in last year didn't last long. Most of them didn't even finish their leases.
AROUND A TREE?
IT'S TIME TO FLEE!
We used to lynch em for sport but then gays like you sent in the military to protect your pet gorillas

Because not a lot goes on in rural america that would make for a particularly exciting game. I guess you could argue that you didn't need to make an exciting game, that you could make it more of a relaxing and contemplative experience but then, why am I playing a game? I can just drive outside of town and enjoy the actual american countryside and not some digital facsimile.

God I love living in the country it's so fricking peaceful
The internet being trash is the one downside but I can deal with it
I really want to see the stars
I just wonder what the night sky is supposed to look like.
Light pollution really is awful, as someone who lives in the city. I drove out to the hicks during one of the eclipses, and the night sky in the country side is something mind blowing to someone who grew up in the city.
>have a blackout
>go for a walk
>about to cross the road, see a car coming by its headlights
>stop to let it pass
>wait
>wait
>keep waiting
>like a minute passes before it arrives
>even at night, light pollution is normally so high that you'd never detect a car by its headlights until it was just around the corner
kind of blew my mind
headlights have gotten so fricking bad only reason i even have a truck is just so i am not getting blinded by the other truck users who have 4 floodlights on, and i hate how people still have them on when it is well lit out.
Please understand how insane that sounds to those of us who grew up with less light pollution.
Yeah I know, it took me a good chunk of my life to even realize that there's supposed to be more than like 10 stars in the sky
I've always lived in the city, though thankfully on the outskirts so I'm able to see a few. Whenever I head into town the sky is just nothingness. A pale black.
I've lived in heavy light polution all my life and it sounds moronic.
You genuinly have to ignore common knowledge for most of your life.
because afaik even rural americans hate rural america.
Doesn't sound like you know much at all.
He's right.
the only ones I knew always complained. they said it was socially hell with everyone knowing everyone and meddling in each other's business. granted they left so there's a bias but that's what I know of rural america.
In my experience is it's always more of a "grass is always greener" thing.
I've known people raised in rural areas who disliked it, moved to a city for a few years, and ended up realizing the rural areas were comparably less stressful and easier to live in. Just depends on what kind of "speed" you prefer living your life at.
I find it funny that the people who b***h about ‘nosy neighbours’ are the same people who b***h about how there’s “no community spirit anymore”.
It’s like they think community is something they (and only they) can opt in and out of whenever they feel like, whilst everyone else has to be on-call 24/7 to receive them.
People make what they know, it's why for example every Bethesda Fallout is set on their side of the states.
good question. as someone who has driven through it a few times, part of it could be that it doesn't offer a ton of visual variety aside from some noteworthy places. plus, depicting more settled areas gives certain types of a games an excuse to have NPCs everywhere, towns and shit, etc. I think RDR captures some of the feeling well, Far Cry 5 got the vibe somewhat right but felt sort of off, a bit flat and boring but I think that's mainly just because it's modern Far Cry and radiates ennui
southern bros itt
what is your opinion on eating hog? I freeze it and make jerky out of it but some dudes out here swear it will kill you
I smoke my own jerky and I've been doing it for over 20 years now. I freeze it and cut it into half-inch cubes so it lasts for like half a year. When my friends come over they call it dog food but they still want a bowl every time.
I was born and raised in the south and I love sucking down on hog.
As long as it's cooked thoroughly you're fine. Obviously handle the carcass with care if you shot it, since they tend to have ticks.
freeze drying doesn't kill everything, oocysts are real and are far more common in game meat
I don't do pork. Just never liked the taste, and bacon is more about the extra flavor than the meat itself (turkey bacon fricking rocks).
Elk on the other hand, we packed and froze one kill and ate on that for the rest of the year back in 2018. Steaks, mince, jerky, that was a good year.
I wish I could send my citybros a chunk of fresh elk, they'll never eat McD's again.
>I wish I could send my citybros a chunk of fresh elk, they'll never eat McD's again.
Ruralgay here, elk is highly overrated. Literally just beef
Its beef I don't have to raise, and more tender than deer
>Ruralgay here, elk is highly overrated. Literally just beef
This. Elk isnt gamey enough to be interesting. Id rather just have deer than elk.
deer meat and pig fat burgers is kino as frick.
I wish I enjoyed hunting like my dad did. I know how to hunt and I know how to dress, but I dont really find fun in it so I dont do it. I havent had deer since my dad passed.
>he LIKES the gamey deer aftertaste
I don't think I could ever handle the game of elk or deer. Even lamb can be too much for me.
Leaf here.
I've eaten elk, moose, deer, beaver, skunk and all sorts of small game.
Still eat mc dicks from time to time.
haven't eaten hog. only eat crawfish and gumbo.
>tfw no good fantasy games based on american folk stories like Paul Bunyan and everything in that general theme
Fallout New Vegas is a fairly accurate representation of an unusually heterogeneous chunk of rural nevada and it's one of the most criticized aspects of the game. It should be obvious why more games don't go for it. Lack of variety.
Rural life is only good if you're a retiree or work in a trade
What if you work remote?
As long as you have a car and an Internet connection there's absolutely nothing living in a city can offer over a comfy small town or village.
depends on the person, I find cities comfier because I can walk to a bunch of interesting places from my apartment, see a bunch of people and do a lot of things with almost no effort. the country can be peaceful and I don't mind being isolated, I just get bored there fairly quickly
Fair enough. Guess I'm to opposite, cities make me feel anxious.
I used to think this way until I made the move to work remote and learned the hard way having privacy without needing to isolate yourself from people in the real world is way easier in the city than a 'comfy' small town. Also I prefer walking to shop than needing to drive to walmart and windixie or a bunch of strip malls.
>Also I prefer walking to shop than needing to drive to walmart and windixie or a bunch of strip malls.
As a yuropoor living in a 14 000 pop town I have 5 different supermarkets within a 15 minute walking distance, 2 within less than 10 minutes. Plus a bunch of mom & pop shops, pubs and restaurants.
You can't build grocery stores near where people live due to zoning laws so that doesnt work here.
zoning laws are truly a curse, especially when also combined with these real estate mega corps that buy up land and sit on it for 20-30 years so nothing can get built.
>You can't build grocery stores near where people live
My store is like two blocks away, bro.
Stop being a easy target.
That's cute because it's usually suburbanites throwing shade first.
Cities suck, woods suck, suburbanites suck.
>The woods suck
please elaborate on your wildly incorrect opinion anon
in fairness though
growing up as a kid
suburbs or woods/country would be great. depending on family size. we're like 30 miles from town, and my 8 year old gets a bit bummed out sometimes that there aren't any kids out here to play with (which is reasonable) he still has fun going hiking and exploring the thousands of acres of woods adjacent to our house.
as a 20 y/o single cities are fine, meet people, career, okay fine.
but overall quality of life, if you like peace and quiet and nature, you cannot beat being rural.
I live less than a half mile from a supermarket
All of your knowledge on america comes from twitter memes
Too many white people.
rural america is meh but rural third world shithole would be kino. bonus points for being set in past like 50s-80s era.
Because it's boring. Not because "flyover bad", but people are just familiar with it. Would most people rather play a game set on an exotic island or a place just like their home town?
Depends entirely on how the game was designed. You can make a familiar setting fun to explore if you make it worthwhile to do so. You can make even the most exotic setting a worthless chore to slog through.
Rural america is only familiar to the people who grew up with it. A good chunk of the world did not. Hell, a good chunk of Americans didn’t. For someone who has never left NYC, rural Arizona is like another universe to them. Conversely, someone from Oklahoma City cannot comprehend what it’s like to live in Maine, and someone from Honolulu has no idea what Alaska is like.
I had people from London come over to visit our office in Nashville so I took them on the backroads to Lynchburg so they can see what America is really like.
The more people that know about it the more people will move here.
What are some games that take place in the best place in America to live (rural Appalachia?)
Only one I can think of is Left 4 Dead

>pay half as much for an apartment twice as big

THE HORROR
>>know all your neighbors, help them out of they need something and vice versa
>>can't be lazy and eat out all the time, cook at home instead
This is a negative, not a positive. Citygays can do both. Also ask yourself why an apartment near higher paying jobs surrounded by amenities and non-chain stores is more expensive than some flat in the middle of bumfrick nowhere.
It's insane how much you're coping right now.
>tfw I don't have to imagine
Yeah, it's great.

Can't go one day without talking about a Black folk wiener, eh? Fat ass.
Man these numbers keep growing huh
The reason America has devolved into communism is because of all the Black folk. Once we remove all the Black folk from America then communism will finally be kill
>>We need to remove the Black folk!
>>We need to stop abortion!
>The biggest remover of Black folk is abortion
I don't think /misc/ knows what it wants.
Yeah, okay, I;ll take the bait since the thread is falling: the frick is with this? Doesn't /misc/ get that that rich, white, blond haired, blue-eyed girl they intend to impregnate through slipping roofies can just go across the boarder or some place else to abort because she can afford it? meanwhile, the people who can't afford to drop everything and travel to abort are... You guessed it: poor minorities! Meaning they'll have more children!
I don't see why they think the kind of person who would get an abortion should be forced to be a mother, but then complain that the kinds of people who would get an abortion are destroying society.
If she's forced to be a mother, she's just going to prolong her shit opinions, isn't she?
I phrased my own post expressly to also point out how abortion bans are actually against /misc/'s interests, but you know who does benefit from abortion bans? Who else benefits from shitloads of impoverished people willing to do anything to buy food and tolerate absolutely awful living standards if it means survival? You guessed it: big-ass corporations like your friendly neighborhood wal-mart.
So, just all in all, abortion bans are shit for everyone who isn't some butthole who employs armies of immigrants for labor exploitation.
Plus, if you ban abortion when you're a nazi, that's a whole lotta people you then gotta have a nice day
>make abortion illegal for white babies
>enforce mandatory abortions for nonwhite babies
gg 2ez no re
Looks like redditors from /misc/ have shown up. At least the thread is almost dead.
>suburbgay trying to justify the rural larp
To be fair, I do wonder how much of that would decrease if you took out the famers subsidies, because no matter what that will be needed. I also wonder how much that map would change if it included company subsidies that are located in certain states? Because New York has taken more bailouts than like a quarter of the worlds wealth in the past 20 years.
>if you took out the famers subsidies
like california s oy and almond farmers who try to blame the government for water misnagement
Honestly I have heard nothing but nightmare stories on california government so they might be right.
>no israelites in florida
My man Boca Raton might be the only city in the south where synagogues outnumber churches. Also frick off and stop shilling florida you dumb double Black person.
New York probably houses more than like a quarter of the countries financial wealth. It's the corpo capital of the US.
>Utah that low
Mormons get shit done I guess, for better or worse.
>82 IPs
>Half of them probably only posted once
Ganker does feel slower nowadays.
Noticed less IPs than usual in threads lately, seems more people actually being talkative and arguing with each other lately, than drive by postings.
A huge problem with the internet is the moving of meeting places of philisophical and political people to a virtual space? Usually cities would become known for the arts and philosophy cafes, and these people would gather in places to create great ideas and movements, but now it's all online and non centralized causing lack of genuine discussion. I can find any group online that agrees with my viewpoint, and if someone does not agree with me I can just block them.
Before you had to go to a club or cafe, find a group, discuss with them and most people would have nuance and if you did not agree you would have to actively find out people to join your discussions and thoughts. And if things became more revolutionary or movement based, you had the people with you to bolster actual change.
Now it's all online circle-jerking.
Am I the only one who thinks these high definition dirt and rocks and shrubs and shit look absolutely terrible? It's some uncanny valley between having so few detail that it becomes stylized (and so you can make it look good that way), and having enough detail to look good. So it just ends up looking like a bunch of cluttered visual noise.
You're not alone. A lot of it is lazy lighting coupled with copy/pasted flora. Real shrubs and shit are like a dozen different plants all fighting eachother for space.

I mean you can shoot tannerite in the woods if you want.
I don't care what your sign says.
I really want a sort of inverse persona or harvest moon/town clone set in the rural poverty bits of america. I find the white trash type interactions so interesting and cool to watch for both drama and stories. Like they all frick each other, argue with each other, scam each other with dodgy trailers or houses but it's weirdly comfy. I remember reading a wapo article trying to villainize the "disability belt" but the kid had a type of down syndrome before getting pregnant at 15 with twins. She's a shit singer but kept her brain active learning bible verses and singing. These communities have such a great weird language and togetherness even with drama that you rarely ever see in the western-built up world, near all of it in my country died in the late 80s during the mass displacement of central culture hubs. Something like the book Knockemstiff would be a great persona-like drama.

Statistically that is incorrect, where do you homosexuals get this idea? I can only conclude you are incredibly rich and live in wealthy white/asian gated communities.
>where do you homosexuals get this idea?

>when NYC's 'high crime rate' contributes to NY's crime stats and it's still less than FL

https://dailymontanan.com/2021/11/03/fbi-rate-of-violent-crime-in-montana-continues-to-surpass-national-rate/
when you compare an extremely rural/low population area to a densely packed city it becomes very easy to manipulate statistics for whatever narrative you want to push (in this case it's that those heckin noggerinos are just good boys who dindunuffin and want to live their best life)
it would be just as dishonest to point out that montana has like 70 murders a year. that's a fricking average tuesday in chicago.
but you know this, the media knows this, the FBI probably knows this too.
Plenty of rural and small towns in Florida
Compared to a lot of states it really isn't even a "liberal coastie" state like Oregon and Washington is less metropolitan than Florida.
>Plenty of rural and small towns in Florida
fricking partial north florida
half of florida is uninhabitable swampland
the other half is former swampland not yet turning to a sinkhole
NTA but outside of three cities I’ve seen a shit ton of rural areas. Then again most states have lots of rural areas except DC
take that reddit term and have a nice day with it, homosexual
Florida is a rural state when arguing cities suck and are full of crime and Black folk. Florida is an urban state when it comes to arguing which cities are the best because Florida has no crime or Black folk. Simple as.
I don't know, it's pretty nice out here. The lack of light pollution is especially nice, I think that's the thing I like the least about the major cities I've visited in this country. I live in the great plains right now, but I'm moving east near the Great Smoky Mountains later this year.
If the right people were to make a game that dealt with crptozoology or just North American mythology or history in general from the last thousand or so years, there could be a cool action RPG or something set here in practically any time period.
FarCry 5 was way better than it had any right to be. Not sure what the frick happened with 6.

Oh the irony.
Its truly embarrassing how insecure us rural people are about how there are many many positives about urban life.
I don't understand it. I live in an urban shithole, I know its a shithole. I guess its the one of the few forms of tribalism they are think are socially acceptable.
i'm not fond of my city either but people that go on about rural life and all cities being inherently shit because they think all cities are like anglosphere ones, are fricking annoying, and so deserve to get shit on once in a while for being like vegans
I don't understand it. I live in an small town shithole, I know its a shithole. I guess its the one of the few forms of tribalism they are think are socially acceptable.
Nobody it talking about Tokyo, clearly. Why would you even bring up international cities?
Fact of it is, most cities are economic and crime centers. The people claiming small towns are criminal drug addicted shit heaps have never been. People just a mile from me literally leave their car doors unlocked because having their window broken constantly is more expensive then having their car ruffled through.
>The people claiming small towns are criminal drug addicted shit heaps have never been
I got out of school for a week when a meth lab blew up across the street.
Less people die and do crime in small town than in the city so I am less likely to die or become a victim because I live in a small town and not in the city.
>People just a mile from me literally leave their car doors unlocked
Big if true.
It is true, police do not give a frick anymore

No they didn't.

literally every ruralcel larper i have come across talks about cities, as in literal any kind of city anywhere, like its a current year american city, and deliberately ignore international cities, because they've never left their own country, because it exposes their bs larp
No its because you are on an a English speaking board. The assumption is that you live in America and thus when the discussion of cities vs rural comes up its assumed its a discussion about American cities vs rural cities. The topic of the thread is even about America so why make this conclusion?
and ya dumb c**t, you're participating in a thread where the same kind of typecasting is done to rural people.
yes we're all inbred hillbilly rednecks right? hukhuk
what is it with moronic progressive filth and avoiding any kind of intellectually honest debate?

After playing through Assassins Creed 3, I have to say that the natural american landscape makes for some boring gameplay
And I don't know if adding more farmland and tractors would be the solution for it
Just make it a RPG where there is a cave or injun settlement around every corner.
Because when you live here it's not that great.
Disagree I love it here, but I understand why most games do not work for a setting out here.
Too uncomfortably close to show people dying by the hundreds.

>Are people going to pretend people dont act like chopped up ground beef with cheese plopped onto a sandwich is worth $25 in literally every corner of america?
no, your shitty chopped cheese "NY" food is not world renowned cuisine filthy urbanite
Certainly the slop they serve in majority whites flyover states are right? Dumbass.
To be fair, a lot of "ethnic" food served here in cities are basically just slop of different cultures. Like if you go to India it's not just curry everywhere, same with Asia isn't just noodles non stop.
DUDE RURAL TEXAS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN israelite YORK UH...... DID I MENTION MUH FREEDOMS ERRRR......EVERYTHANGS BIGGER HERE

Is this thread just 3 schizos arguing with eachother?
I'm in here too. I recursively hide useless back & forth nonsense.
Sure looks that way. The countryside seems like it would be perfect for adventure games especially if you take a bunch of creative liberties with the terrain.
Would actually love some more realistic bits, like that one scene out of blood meridian, wide open plain with a huge gunfight between 12 cowboy headhunters and like 100 indians.
>indians
Natives, Indians aren't from North America.
>Urbangays and ruralgays shitting on each other.
You guys would probably get along if you weren't so female brained.
I use to be like the rural gays in this thread until I visited the north east including Philly, NYC, and Boston and realized how nice they are. While I still prefer my small town, I can understand why people love them.
I don't hate actual ruralgays. Small towngays, suburbgays and homestead LARPers deserve all of the hate.
the best open world map is set on rural america THOUGH
rural america is boring and only rednecks care about it
I lived in a city for far too long. Was absolutely miserable. Moving out to the countryside was the best thing I've ever done.

It's the setting for lots of games.
Depends on the genre. Some of my favourite games - Farming Simulator and Snowrunner feature rural America among other things and its quite comfy.
homie what you gonna do in rural America lmao
Chop trees? Shoot alligators? lmaoooo
>Chop trees? Shoot alligators?
Yeah actually.
You have no way of knowing that.
Holy frick, I hope the US gets invaded by the world, it'll be funny watching you pussy boys go through actual, real difficulty for once.
bcuz white devils have no culture and are basically demons who stole the world
What much can you do with that setting outside of simulators and lovecraftian horror?
Far Cry 5 had urban (rural?) warfare in Montana. You could make a detective game about meeting people and taking sides in an armed land dispute, an adventure game about a kid with hyperactive imagination, or a VN about growing up and leaving town
Everything you know about the world that you didn't personally experience comes from some high school drama club kid in hollywood.

Maybe its the Texan blood in me, but I love it. The brisket is very good. And the jerky bar is tops. Its definitely worth a stop in if you are ever up that way for any reason.
How far does one need to live from a city to be a trues scottsman?
Whats the time limit? Like if i sleep over a friends house in the sub-urbs do i lose my scottsman card?
What if i stay there for a month?

>everyone has a 4 wheel drive truck they take everywhere
Cmon mate, most dogs nad cats in the country side are picked up as strays or from family, not a pet store.
Family giving away litters is believable. But Im not convinced theres any young strays running around that wouldnt just get shot.
Given this its still shit.

Anon ive been on this site longer than you have been alive. You are lucky i'm not an namegay anymore.
Yes dammit, I have. I talked above about using public transport alot when visiting the north east.
Imagine being proud of this 12 years later lmao
Anon im an adult on Ganker. Im not proud of it none of us are proud, its just in the piles of images on my server.
newbies just don't appreciate avatargays these days
They also will never understand yeah, it's nothing to be proud of, it's just how it is, and will always be.
Im glad its dead tbh, its an archaic thing. I just will never not post images on an imageboard.
Frick you b***h I was on your side now I hate you
lol sorry anon. Have a cute Dawn as payment.
Thanks bud, I accept. No hard feelings.

>tfw live near a major city and 10 minutes away from small towns and a massive national forest
i like both
Its the only chad opinion anon. Both have good and bad parts and while I prefer the rural life, I understand why others wouldn't like like Urban life.
Californians don't know how to create tension when everybody is armed and friendly with eachother.
Dumbest shit I've read in this thread, congrats.
california has some of the angriest psychopathic people you could ever hope to not meet
its what happens when you shove millions of people into a small hot, polluted, concrete area and tell them good luck
Rural Texas and Florida well known for not being filled with angry psychopaths with an entitlement complex

>rural americans are crazy cannibal rapists!
>I know because a movie made by a israelite in hollywood said so!
this is beautiful
America is used as setting in zombie panic, co-op horror, free on steam
Country folk do a few things for fun that are already games.
Ride atvs and dirt bikes
Fish
Hunt
Imagine a game about noodling.
I went noodling once and never again. The only time I want around a catfish is when its deep-fried and surrounded by fries and pinto beans.
Because while it has some beautiful nature, that doesn't lend itself great to game settings. What kind of game would you even want?
fishing and hunting games
I'd rather just go fishing.
it has been overused, also you probably never were near a rural american once in your life

oh god did they patch raytracing into that game?
Video games cant capture the feeling of playing with your toys in the dirt.
Heh, well, this makes the point that if youre looking for a rural game, you may as well just go outside.
the amount of people who think "rural is heckin based because no minorities" might just be the most moronic people ive ever seen considering the vast majority of rural towns are majority or even split black and hispanic, especially in the south and west
when cities are bad because of black people but then you show them a city with hardly any black people and they still say its shit
Yeah but they're just as racist as I am so its okay.
Rural towns are mostly shit holes. I drive for a living and 90% of them are not comfy, they are horribly maintained, poor, and everyone looks cracked out or moronic.
Yeah the small amount are comfy and friendly people, but most are just "Guess I'll stop here tonight" and not much more.
Not praising cities, mind you. They have their own horrifying issues. But this wanking over rural towns is really funny to me.
This is correct.
This is massive cope.
coping for what?
prove me wrong cupcake.
Coping because you live in a shithole.
Prove yourself right first b***h.
my shithole is ~10 acres of forest, surrounded by another +1000 of BLM forest.
i'm good, thanks for asking bro. do tell about your concrete hive though, all ears.
Alright b***h.
>+1000 of BLM forest.
you fricking race traitor
rural towns were torn apart by the highway system and its always ridiculous just how much rural people get uppity whenever the idea of making this country less for cars comes up
although i think most of that outrage comes from suburban people who larp as rural
Rural towns use to be awesome, but yeah were fricked over by highways and walmart to become shitholes ran by normally egotistical deacons of the biggest churches and are basically just mob cities for them.
When you live rural you live outside of the city limits and just never go to it for anything and drive a big longer to a suburb city to do your shopping.
>californian detected
Outside of your hive, this is just not true anon.
like, not even close. not even remotely close. at all.
look at a map for 2020 or 2016 elections by county, those huge swaths of red? those are rural counties.
POCs tend to vote for progressives since they want handouts. they cluster in cities for the vital services they need to survive (ebt, public transit, abortion clinics, cricket wireless, dollar stores, payday loan stores, furniture rentals, etc)
moronic conservitard in charge of not embarrassing himself.
>look at a map for 2020 or 2016 elections by county, those huge swaths of red? those are rural counties.
yeah there's like 10 people living in some of those huge areas you moron
Theyre usually in the poor excuse of a downtown area in duplexes, trailer parks (they dont last long there) and other assisted living, go figure.
The whites have land. Some blacks do, but they arent your typical Black person, usually.
>not living in a rich, white, suburb in the woods near rivers and lakes in the north
lol
Idk, I live in WV and haven't seen a nonwhite in months.
WASHINGTON STATE MASTER RACE
inb4 someone talks about seattle
who fricking cares about seattle
Ive always wanted to visit the north west, I hear its beautiful. AZ is the furthest west ive made it.
Do it dude, go to Oregon. As long as you stay away from Portland you're golden, which is a small part of Oregon. Most of Oregon is literally forest.
Portland isn't that bad though, I travel through it for work and besides certain spots it has a lot of cool places to check out. Lots of good food. I'd never live there but it's really not that bad, not as bad as people on here make it out to be.
I love cities as well as rural areas, so Seattle and Portland would both be on the list to see, but they would not be a focus point.
>far cry 5
>days gone
>last of us
Frick rural, why no small town america setting?
Those still exist?
Actually boring as frick compared to rural settings.
Because America focus on cars, its hyper corporatization and boomers hanging onto a time that no longer exist have destroyed them.
Now we're talking. Small towns are best.
Bonus points if a large city is within an hour's drive for doing city shit.
Shame living there is often just for retired boomers these days, often.
>Small towns are best.
>Bonus points if a large city is within an hour's drive
Thats just a suburban town anon.
No it's not. There's plenty of small towns located 60-70 miles away from a city that isn't mindless american suburbia. Some of them are completely disconnected through a pass or nature.
Name one (1)
New Hampshire and Maine. But do NOT move here
NH and Maine are not cities moron.
You asked for areas near cities. If you are asking for a city, then sure, okay. Boston and Portland (ME)
NH and Maine are not "Areas near cities" and no I asked for examples of "Small towns" that are 60 miles from a major city that isnt a suburban town.

I could frick with this.
hello my american friends. i am an australian. if i enjoy snowy areas, hate surburbia, enjoy a bit of nature, and hate black people, where would one go to live/work?
alaska
are they safe areas? can i be a semi hermit/reclusive neet? any job opportunities?
>can i be a semi hermit/reclusive neet
You cant be a neet anywhere in America anon unless you are ok with scraping by. Id fricking homestead if you didnt have to be in abject poverty to do it.
If you want to be a neet you are already in a good country to do it in.
ok so it looks like i have to work. but is it at least comfy living in those areas though?
i thought new england was more of a small town or something
>but is it at least comfy living in those areas though
depends on what you mean by comfy.
lots of nature/natural parks to walk/hike in my off time, lack of people, but enough space on any properties i want to buy so i can have my own cool workshop and shit
>but enough space on any properties i want to buy so i can have my own cool workshop and shit
The first part is easy to find, this part though is not going to happen anon at this point.
In Alaska it cam get too cold to snow. If you underestimate your tolerance you'll end up leaving and it would be a waste
America's cost of living is surging rapidly.
For instance, minimum wage in rural states is like 7 dollars an hour.
A okay apartment could range from 850 a month or more (in those areas).
So off the bat 120 our of your 160 an hour work month is for your shithole.
Food is increasingly rapidly in price too.
My point is, you're likely better in Aus being a useless neet than coming over here and being unable to neet at all, and instead die on the side of the road begging cars to give you a burger.
that is very unfortunate. i hope america recovers and becomes a lovely livable place again.
It will only happen if the boomers in charge all die quick enough before we implode. But they have all the money and can fricking buy the medical care to keep themselves alive longer than they should.
>The average age of Members of the House at the beginning of the 117th Congress was 58.4 years; of Senators, 64.3 years.
He is overexagerating. The cost of living isn't surging in America anymore than it is in Australia. Either way be glad you don't live in the UK.
>The cost of living isn't surging in America
hahahahahahahahahaha.
The average price for 12 eggs just hit $5:50 up from $2:25 a year ago.
You have NPC brain:

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/dec/13/inflation-report-november-cpi-reserve-rate
>November
CPI, which includes food prices peaked over the summer and has been on a downward trend ever since. Inflation hawks can't ever concede this so instead they have to use the egg shortage to gas up their bullshit.
>can't afford a $5 box of cereal or $6/lb meat
You got bigger problems than inflation.
cereal is up to $10
>just making shit up
You're posting GOP propaganda because you're a moron.
Biden arent you a bit too old to be on Ganker?
Do you buy groceries or food at all? It's not just eggs. Meat is insane right now.
The average cost of veggies are double the price they were a year ago as well. And you are a moron if you ever think prices will drop again on Eggs. We are still paying inflated prices on Beef from the spike in 2014. We dont have a government that wants to help the people so all the price increases now will never dissipate.
>The average cost of veggies are double the price they were a year ago as well
No they aren't.
>The cost of veggies is more than 80 percent higher compared to November 2021 prices.
https://www.popsci.com/environment/vegetable-prices-climate-change/
This was Dec and prices have rose even more since then.
The actual CPI report from a week ago shows otherwise. Stop getting your news from fricking popsci.com
Then post it fricking homosexual. Dont just dispute someone's actual link with nothing.
This includes the price of food like eggs cereal and veggies. Inflation doomers hold the L.
>Median staying constant.
This doesnt say what you think it says.
Median is clearly (but slowly) trending downwards over the past several months, not staying consistent. The way /vpol/ talks about the food prices and the economy you would think inflation was still skyrocketing, but of course reality says otherwise.
m8 the cost of most food in the store here in burgerland has doubled in the past year and a half. sometimes trippled for veggies and shit. it's fricking terrible. idk what its like in kangarooland but i cant imagine wanting to leave there for here.
Yeah you are hyper exaggerating. Increase in food prices isn't a US thing and most food other than shit like eggs mayo and onions are marginally more expensive, not triple the price.
the price of everything is exploding, food being the most noticeable
I can't even afford fricking cereal anymore
Okay Biden, time for your nap. Get off the computer
Biden spent way more than Obama did during the last recession and the economy has rebounded while inflation is dying off. Keep crying about eggs though.
>Moving to america to become neet
kek more like moving to america to become homeless and live in a tent on the side of the road
if he's from aus he'd hate alaska because they have natives like he has abbos
Alaska, Portland, Colorado.
alaska i guess
frick off we are full. New England though
Because it's boring as frick.
it contains national security issues
that would make it a great setting for a video game, if that were true.
>Started with asking about vidya settings
>Everyone gets all political and shit.
Ah, right, Ganker
i honestly dunno what you were expecting this thread to be like. nobodies gonna even care or remember this thread by the time it's off the catalog
I hate urbaBlack folk so much it's unreal.
die city rats
Because the gays making games want their games to have a political statement no matter what, and it is quite literally impossible for them not to hamfist shit about Manifest Destiny or racism or muh KKK or ORANGE CHEETO MAN type shitflinging while blatantly and brazenly stereotyping quite literally everyone who isn't black or hispanic into being even more offensive caricatures than the antagonists of Deliverence. The mere thought of a good man or woman who's white, Christian, and comfortable with their own identity and sexuality is something that causes automatic revulsions that rake their nerves.
