This reminds me of the ultra edgy survival vaguely-zombie-themed game "Rust" which had white supremacist gangs and the like which took a massive beating when a new patch of the game made people's skin colors and other attributes based on a procedurally generated seed that was unique to each Steam account.
"other attributes" ie. dick and boob size btw
tfw you are trying to do a survival power fantasy and your character penis is as small as your real one
That game was so clownishly edgy that it had some rather direct parallels to the notorious tabletop game F.A.T.A.L.
oh my god you are taking me back 15 years ago when i first learned about F.A.T.A.L.
guy spent more time writing about
CW: disgusting
vagina elasticity coefficient and race theory
than actual game mechanics
it's so bad that even the average early 2000s edgy forum dwellers found it abhorrent
Remember that one rebuttal to the review where (CW: mention of rpe) :::The reviewer said "so basically, FATAL is the date rpe RPG", and then he responded "Another faulty conclusion. Where is dating even involved?":::
Dare ye enter his magical realm?
The guy was That Guy who was all like "How come elves who can live thousands of years have the same level of experience as humans whose bodies are only able for about 50 years", or "how come everyone is an adventurer", or "how is it that there's almost no racism in a world based on medieval Europe", and then made an age-based level system, a job system where 95% of them are pointless, and a racism system where there's only three races that are not "kill anyone else on sight" in the entire game, without any thought as to how this would work as a game.
test: spoiler and spoilers spilling apply so the wcj end there lemme the have spoiler words
The first time I loaded up that game a child yelled slurs at me and demanded that I give him my starting rock
Just another day playing online games
When I played GTA Online I made a character sort of loosely based on Omar Little from the wire, I got called the n-word so often on mic it was surreal (I’m white IRL).
Rust is great. Still a fair amount of nazis. Just makes it easier to prioritize bases to destroy. 14th most played game on steam right now. What was edgy about it? Always seemed pretty standard to me.
I think it was mainly the player base that was the edgiest part of it.
