SERIOUS UNCLE GAMING

An uncle game is a game for uncles to play - there are uncle games about trains, uncle games about moving cargo, and uncle games about war. The important part is it's something crunchy, for the uncle to really get into, after the divorce. This is a story about the games uncles love - specifically the game Combat Mission Shock Foce 2.

    I think you should be able to understand the person you were ten years ago, but you shouldn't still be that person. There's a balance to be struck between change / development / growth on the one hand, and whatever "being yourself" is on the other. Some people think "being yourself" means resisting change. This attitude produces friction between the self and all the surfaces of life and time which, in moving around us, exert pressure and induce movement and cause change. To resist all this, to be an immovable object, is to be someone that others bounce off, hard. To be unchanged by events is to refuse to learn from experience is to repeat the same mistakes. I have known people like this. I believe our purpose in life is to exist in relationship to each other, to create community, to cooperate, to change and be changed until we take the shape that fits with other shapes. Tessellation. Metaphorically speaking.

    Sorta live reactions don't think to hard. It's so much better with the bad audio with that siffer thing😂. Really want to work on my monjonh video could be fun to something afterwards. Also now kinda wish i joined in but it's whatever they're be others and now i know and that's half the battle or whatever... The ships do look like shoes my god😂 I'll never look top left First battle everyone just hits themselves seems like the group that would fail the seed test I also must of got a low score first go as i literally talked to everyone like 5 times as i got lost...i was like 8 at the time. Oh my he's all legs 😂 How dare you criticize the gun blade it's perfect little boy imagery weapon Bad breath not being an all status effect thing after all my old ff playthrough is now strange I could go for a 10 siffer combat loop no mercy I would hope a 4hr murder spree would be higher than 10 Anime was only a teen thing for me i stopped but always think about trying it again then 1 min in i realise my mistake The monjong anime seems slightly interesting maybe good research into the game Leges is cool Fun fact my mom was 5 1 not anymore due to age but yea very short Biggs and wedge hype very important star trek tie in Something about the old cgi just looks bad ass with technology Sad to see wedge is bullied The bill of a duck 🦆 i can not un see now 8 year old me related to the bat god boss i never beat it until i got really lucky, also doing biggs and wedge and the cut scene before gets annoying. But that win i always remember Feather people they are just birbs in human costumes i know as i have one we're sorta like your "furries" just more necessary as humans are dicks to us superior beings for some reason and is why they improve overtime like fur suits for furries I'm sad to say i lost to that 30 min timer as a kid...more than once Dogo safe also dogo side quest later is cool The broken car is just a broken car never thought much more than that I like how attitude means antisocial Lol that voice recording of tall woman is perfect Fliping switch outside is cheating to get 600 Honestly i got the kill on the spider as a kid took forever but i thought i had to Dysty warriors i spell poor also 10 monjoghn thing sounds like more nessary research for my learning of the game God dam spoiler ill forget it anyways 3 or 7 out of ten good to know it work on me so must work on everyone every time So I'm mad lost my commets from here i was coping it so i wouldn't lose it and so i leave you with what i remember of the ones i want Glad you got the seed 1 such a cool reaction The meaning of life is to live If not for caplism I would be working twoards being a teacher but No i have to pay for food and housing and even though my bills are so god dam low i can't even afford to do that because teaching doesn't make something that sells so it's worth nothing to capitalism even though everyone agrees it's a good thing everyone needs IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!! mr beast said crows are good birds so he needs to be purged obviously I Sadly don't know about the car it's a true mystery that i honestly don't think exists and no matter how many screenshots you show me i refuse to acknowledge it 10/10 video love it wish i did lines and differently will do next time look like fun to do.

    You know what… sending you the bad takes was on me, that was my error. I should have expected this mischief! People are gonna think “is my mic on?” and “oh my god, he’s got a weird accent now” are lines of dialogue in Final Fantasy 8!

You should probably contact the kid from your primary school for answers. Also the literature lied to me about avoiding bridge crab. I am happy I now have the answer from video game expert.

    So I have a story about dioxine. . I met him in a pub once. I was surprised to see him there, considering that I don't often go to pubs, im usually online. Also, what are the chances? But there he was. he had a pint of Guinness, which helped me strike up a conversation without too much awkward trouble. I knew it was him because ive seen his photos shared by him on discord. I also had a pint of Guinness. at this point you are going to need to know that I had a massive obsession with tractors. Ever since I was little I played with little tractors. And ever since I was big, I have enjoyed seeing big tractors in tractor fairs. This is important because on this day, I still had a tractor badge on my bag. You should also know that when sober I get quite stilted in conversation. After commenting on our shared choice of drinks, and that I liked his watch, I didn't know what to say. I'd asked him where he got it, and I got a simple answer. Meeting new people is terrifying. But dioxone is very polite in person, despite his online behaviour, and was very good at moving past my awkwardness. He helped me out by asking about my tractor badge. Turns out, dioxine likes tractors. Fun fact: when he was a kid, he got a poster of a tractor and he put it above his bed. And, like me, he had a few toys of them when he was little. I however, took off my once-prided tractor badge, and set it down on the bar. I tried to give it too him saying that I didn't want it. Truthfully I had meant to take it off that morning. I ordered more beer. I had split the G on my Guinness already, and I wasn't planning to slow down. Now dioxine seemed curious about my obsession with tractors, and to his credit, asked me about it. It's weird to have someone youve met online ask about your life, but I hadn't actually said that I knew who he was. So he was fine Also I seemed to be just in the right space of mind to respond with over sharing. I told him about how I used to collect tractor stickers and keep them in a book, how I got a little model engine, and tinkered with it with my dad. I told him that as soon as I could i dropped out of school to get an apprenticeship with a local tractor engineer. I regret this now, as I didn't have the brain for it. So, I told him about how after a few months I got work as a farm hand. Which admitedly was great fun as I could drive the farm forklift, the quad bike, the pickup truck, I could herd cows, and best of all, I could take my employers tractor out for a spin. By this time I felt a little weird. I had been talking for a minute, and he wasn't looking at me, so while he seemed present, I wasn't sure he wasnt just enduring me. So I ordered a third beer. He asked why I'd gone off them so suddenly. Which brought me to why I was on my third pint in quarter of an hour. At the local ceilidhs, I had met the love of my life. She was a farmer's daughter, and plenty experienced herself at the wheel. After dancing together we went to a tractor fair, where I decided she was the one. She was the love of my life Fruity. One of those people you only meet once. It's pretty hard to say this, but it's important because I had ended up telling all this to Dioxins. Pouring my heart out in public over a bar. Pretty sad. Especially to Dioxine.... Im still sore about this, and really running into someone like him at this point was not ideal timing. Especially not for my dignity. He seemed to encourage me. I guess he was in the mood for a random guy to start trauma dumping on him that day. perhaps he was just stuck listening. A month before I ran into him, me and her went on a camping trip. Id forgot to mention but I had got my own tractor, and it turned out she was pregnant. So this camping trip was meant to be a celebration. We both had insomnia, so that morning, when all was still misty and twilight gloomy, we decided to go for a ride. When we came to the gates of the camp neither of us wanted to get out and open them. I was slightly scared by the spooky light and so I made her go and open the gates. At this point dioxine, who I repeat is weirdly polite in person, and was holding my tractor badge actually asked if I was ok. It was a gift from her. As she valted over the gate, and pushed it open, ginning in her lively way, the accelerator pad on my peddle slipped up, jamming into the joint in the accelerator housing. The tractor jolted forward and I didn't react in time. The ambulance came within two hours. I had to wait. They got her to the hospital. She passed within two days. The guilt from this is still something that keeps me occupied when I can't sleep at 5 am. I didnt want that tractor badge anymore. In the pub we realised that thick black smoke was billowing out of the kitchen. We heard literal screams as the regulars realised the pub was on fire. Dioxine is not exactly an IRL action hero and was in a state of panic trying to get me to escape the pub with him, but at this point I would not budge. I started angrily at the smoke, I couldn't get out of my head about how everything he loved was going to be destroyed. And Dioxone was not doing well either.. like, I know this sounds crazy fruity, pubs don't just set a light. But I assure you everything in this story is absolutely, definitely true. I stood up finally. And dioxine stopped yelling at me But instead of leaving, I wordlessly started breathing in. I sucked in the air, drawing in the smoke, kept breathing in; sucking in the air with a massive lung capacity. Soon i starvd the room of oxygen and the fire died out. I then matched us out of the pub into the fresh night air and breathed out; all of the smoke I had inhaled billowed out from my mouth in front of a stunned nazi and a small congregation of pub regulars. When all the smoke had finally dissipated, dioxine finally spoke. "how on earth did you manage to inhale all that smoke and not die? It was unbelievable!” I turned to him and said solemnly: “It’s easy when you’re an ex-tractor fan”

Alternatively, they just intended to make thieves the ultimate lifeform.

    Fruity is real and so is that spooky distress signal. I'd praise the mod for its scrapie opening, using whatever you have at hand and having to look around for bits and bobs to replace your staring gear. I'd praise the mod for making melee combat something that is not just "an opportunity for casualties" like most other mods. Praising the "fan service" is never something I can get behind, if I'm looking for "name your fun" I'll go looking for "fun by name" I'm not saying you can't have "vary specific anesthetics" on the side, I love old 40k after all but pointing to this mod and saying it's good because of all the stolen art is a choice I just can't get behind. Then you get to the "writing" and "world building" and I'm not sure we're dealing with people anymore, yes this was all written down and presented to us without a shred of self awareness but I'm not sure that should be praised. There's a very real difference between wearing your inspiration on your sleeve and just taking an idea from elsewhere adding a sprinkling of your own idea and calling it a day. As a side note I really hope that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is based on Roadside Picnic is still a well known fact and not deep lore, I already feel old.

      I was worried I might sound crazy talking about picnics but I figured the music change would hint to folk that I knew what I was talking about :P Not sure how common that knowledge is, hadn't really considered that Stalker itself is kind of niche and old and that I'm old at the time, heck. I guess it never was intended to be or even could have been a commercial project so why not just throw all your favorite things into it? Just be the guy who combined Stalker with anime porn? I'm not like morally opposed to the stealing, it just makes it hard to take anything seriously, as do the boobs. The more critical reviews praise the scope and amount of options rather than the writing, and you can't not agree with that because the scope is insane. I think this mod is fascinating and at every point, maybe in any single screenshot, there's like one really cool thing and one really dumb thing happening. I'm glad you liked the distress signal xD

    It's difficult for me to understand feeling uneasy about a wargame being used to simulate and prepare for real war. Shouldn't it be more troubling to find oneself capable of enjoying a wargame divorced from real-world context? Isn't our ability to tell ourselves "this simulation of violence is acceptable because it's only a simulation" kind of just mental gymnastics to justify enjoyment of violence? I say this as someone who enjoys playing many video games containing violence.

    • @FruitySpruce
      @FruitySpruce Місяць тому

      I dunno, almost all videogames are violent but once you remove every layer of abstraction they kinda start to get heavy. I think wargaming and uncle gaming generally ask for a level of role play on the part of the gamer too? It's really the 'pretend invasion of some random third world country' that I think is further on the side of ghoulish. Like "We were all just sat around thinking really hard about what might happen if we were to drive a tank through your house - it's not gonna happen, it was just a thought experiment."

    Fruity is real, It's not as dramatic to say but agriculture is nearly as old as conflict, less flashy but more necessary. I am frequently a war gamer ant the idea of combat mission's control scheme is something that really appeals to me, especially since I've begun a very one sided grudge with people who must be in full control of everything at all times and even a moment of interruption has them throwing a tantrum. Your opinion of conflict in general and the people who are in the the trenches is, in my unqualified opinion, perhaps a bit simplistic but I'm going to call that a limitation of the format, this was a video you made for your own reasons not an essay on your personal beliefs. I'm willing to bet your thoughts and feelings are much deeper and more complex than would be responsible to put in a video, this has been a very long winded way of saying "I disagree with you, but I still respect your." Cheers from a guy who's taxes fund k*IIlng fewer bapies next time.

      You can offer pretty detailed instructions to the little guys, but once they're in contact with the enemy their AI takes over a lot of the decision making (they're too busy trying not to get shot to be worrying about pausing for five seconds and then putting ten seconds of fire on the third building from the right). I really like in X-Com and stuff where you've got the player phase thet you're in complete control of and the enemy phase that you just have to watch and cross your fingers, so I think the 'give orders, lock in, see if anybody actually did the orders' system of Combat Mission extremely spoke to me - there is a real time mode too but nobody plays it because turn-based is so good. I'd at least watch some of the other uncles playing if you're interested, it's a hoot. I try and be pretty open with my beliefs and stuff - I want the videos to be part talking about videogames, part telling stories, and part weird musings about the world - this does mean I wibble in and out of topics a lot but I never mean to be vague, so if I didn't get my stuff across good that's on me. As for War, I really just think that following a half-century of our nations not doing good on the world stage, I don't trust our nations to do good on the world stage any more.

      @@FruitySpruce Sorry about the gap, UA-cam didn't tell me you'd been so generous as to respond to my comment, I know you generally do but I never expect it. Strangers and the internet and all that. I've looked at the whole combat mission franchise on steam, the World War 2 ones are on my wishlist waiting for a sale, anything more modern always feels a bit one sided if not straight bullying. WW2 seems more fair(?), sometimes. It usually depends on when in the war the game is set, most video games want to be right at the end where all the cool recognizable toys are, personally I'd like to see more early/mid war stuff but that's just me. As for your opinion on our current political leaders, I completely agree, I wouldn't trust most of them alone with (redacted for comedic effect) much less a full blown war. Many of them give me the impression they have sold their moral compass for an extra tearm in office. On further reflection I believe something you said hit a subconscious nerve and I was suddenly paranoid you had become one of "those" all conflict, even fictional conflict is bad and should be illegal "types". This is irrational and dumb, and I apologize for jumping to conclusions, it's a bad habit that I need to work on, I swear I'm not this flighty in person. Anyway I'm about to start rambling so I'll cut it off here and wish you good luck.

    I played FF8 for the first time just a couple of years ago, and I bounced off it hard because the systems were basically the only part of the game I liked. Drawing, junctions, GFs, transmogging items: cool. However, the story is abject nonsense, as you say, and I didn't particularly like any of the characters. I stuck it out till the end out of principle, but I think I'll never play this game again.

      Yeah the characters are all weird children and the only one who gets a lot of characterisation is Squall, who is deeply unlikable. It's also got the FFX thing going on where it keeps illuding to a much more fun-sounding adventure that already happened with Laguna's gang - Laguna is so much more compelling than Squall I wish it was his game. The situations just keep getting weirder and weirder though, I think if you make it past the orphanage reveal and into the space part you've kind of passed the point where it makes sense to quit and you're along for the ride. :P

    Fruity is real. Firstly I too played croc and gex on the original play station, those were days, who knows where I'd be if I had encountered FF8 at such a formative age. Secound creation and expression can be very rewarding my main trouble is after making something I want to show it off, then most people are supportive and find something about my work to compliment, compliments make me uncomfortable, this negative loop hasn't stopped me from making things or showing them off. Not yet anyway. Three, there are many words to describe your attention situation, some of those words come with life long subscriptions to medications that you will be assured are absolutely necessary... according to the man selling the pills. Use your own judgment and stay safe. Four. I came hear for the deeply strange, horny, and oddly fever dream like XCOM mod. I subscribed for the unapologetically human fruity. You do what you want and I'll put eyes on it.

      I do have more Xcom mod recorded and a partial script. I've been all over the place recently but that was my favorite of the series I was doing (because it was closest to this mess). It's definitely still on the backburner. I've actually got a ton of half finished projects that were bothering me but this one took over and I loved making it. I do get nervous that people who aren't in the gang and don't understand my weird nonsense will stumble in when I do one of these but I also feel like hitting the publish button is part of the process and needs to happen. Video isn't real until people can see it. I don't know what stuff you're making but surely you could just tell people not to complement you if it makes you that uncomfortable that you feel like it's a spiral? Its an odd request I guess but I'm sure folk would understand. I do personally like complements though, so thanks for being lovely :P As for attention situation I have had a really bad experience with antidepressants which makes me very nervous to try any sort of medication again. Right now I just feel like the brain gremlins aren't hurting anyone and I can even lean into it when hobbying, go to new weird places and make even stranger nonsense. FF8 was one of my main things as a baby! My best friend also played it so we'd mime swordfights on the playground and he'd lie to me about the video game.

    • @duanewegener1293

      The thing about complements is, if I had to guess, a form of imposter syndrome. Small complements are fine but once people start being generous with their words then I start feeling like I'm being played to and begin worrying where this is going. I know my work has flaws and everyone can see them but hear they go saying more and more nice things. My brain is broken and simply will not except that this is a complement with no strings attached. Most of my friends are kind enough to limit the number of nice things said at a time, but I appreciate your concern and feedback and don't worry I don't have a job where people give me complements very frequently.
