I was thinking of making a chart about games that would fit into the general archetype of a diamond in the rough...

Any of you cunts remember the days when this undertaking would just be called a list of games?
Now being into your hobby is niche and obscure, fucking hooray.

Get some sleep user

After seeing the current state of cuckchan /vr/ and the used games market I have to agree, fuck charts.

The "solidification" (commodification) of culture has been a thing for at least the past 50 years. Sell a product associated with a certain value, belief, etc. And people who increasingly lack actual culture will want it as a substitute. Hence the upper middle class Dad who can't play guitar but has one worth several thousand dollars proudly displayed in his living room. This simply takes a non-commercial form on the internet. Virtue signalling being one version of it, constant deference to charts and established norms another. The internet was initially shielded from this since it actually had a culture before it went mainstream. Now we're some way into it conforming to the norm.

It's just fucking disgusting.

weird.

Several older Arkane titles deserve to be on there, like Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah. I would probably also consider System Shock 1 and 2 and the original Deus Ex, even though literally everybody knows about those games at this point.

Do these charts upset you, anti-chartfags?

No, seeing scum using past labor to show fun games to people on Holla Forums twisted to ruin my decaying hobby does.
