The Gaming Culture War Call To Action
🕑 Added 2024-11-12 13:43:25 +0000 UTC This is a call to action. I woke up this morning and just felt it on my heart to give this message. Where is the modern audience? Where are we and what can we do? And our battle isn't hard. It isn't throwing hate comments or being disrespectful to our fellow gamers. It is really very simple. We need to show up and be creative and showcase the beauty of diverse games. "Helping" doesn't mean money. It can be liking a post, sharing it, and commenting. Engagment is the real currency and I and other creators and developers need it. I hope this message resonates with some of you as I continue to move forward with the experiment. I again want to thank everyone who has supported me with pixels, bytes, and kilobytes of support. Please DM me if you feel you want to give more. Otherwise, I hope this message inspires you to start your youtube channel, start your podcast, release your art, and lets fight the algorithm.

It is so important to hear that others feel the same way. ❤️

Man I love Veilguard! I will never understand the hate. But I really needed to hear this to not give up the good fight against hate and fascism.

If we are uploading content to tiktok is it encouraged and ok to # the church and possibly use something to show our support??? I admit, I have been in some sort of a freeze since elections and trying to get back to it all. Being incredibly introverted I just do game clips without voice overs. You have inspired me for years and maybe I need to step out of my own comfort zone.

7:25: Is it that the algorithms are pushing right wing talking points, though? Or are there just more terrible people being more openly terrible? The right is loud. And we now know they are majority.

Also, can we talk about the ingenious use of fixed camera angles in NieR: Automata? Like damn.

"Where are you in the comment sections?" Good question, but I think there's an explanation here. 1) We don't watch that garbage, usually. 2) Comment order is algorithmically set, not chronological. And the "vibes" that the comments you see will reflect the general tone of the comments as a whole. So if there's mostly vitriol in the comments, those rise to the top, and the positivity is drowned out. Also, I have a suspicion that different people see different comments in different orders. But I have no hard evidence for that.

I understand what is being said in this. Which is why, as of the last year or so I have been getting more “indy” games than some AAA’s. Or games made by smaller development teams. There seems to be more passion there and to be honest better story telling. Not just another yearly cash grab for another year or seeing a smaller game blow up just so the bigger company’s to copy it but being to late to the party and/or not really understanding what made the original great in the first place. I also kind of miss when you bought a game that was it, for better or worse. Nothing hiding being pay walls or release a have baked game that take a whole extra year to be actually good or playable. I just want a good functioning game

I’m happy to help anyway I can! I love this idea and everything it represents.
Derrick Hoard
We are working on that. Perhaps I can get you to look over the governance documents when I upload them. Thank you.

So far, I love everything about the Church of New Game +. I’m an attorney. I don’t know much about establishing churches, but I’m willing to dedicate my time to help establish the legal foundation for the Church, including applying for 501(c)3 status, if you haven’t already.

I have been following you since I discovered you on Tiktok while I was going through a divorce during “the vid” in 2020, your videos especially your convos about Mass Effect were and are some of the most powerful content that helped keep my mind focused on things that mattered to get through the the things I was facing at the time. I am sooo thankful for you establishing this community and its purpose! I cant wait to get to know many of you!
Derrick Hoard
Yes that works wonders even just showing up commenting helps

I appreciate all the work and thought you're putting into this. I usually remain a lurker as I just don't like getting involved with anything online. Too anxious that whatever I type will be misinterpreted. Unfortunately I can't help much financially right now, but I will do my best to assist in the comments section on tiktok and other communities to help others find their way to the patreon and discord. If there's anything else I can do, please don't hesitate to reach out.

We gotta be involved y'all let's show up in mass. Games are for fun and are an escape and to keep our peace and they're trying to take them away. I'll be damned if my peace is taken from me. So I will do my part. Blessed be the maker.
