>>384347720
It's just harder for me to be impressed and get 'hooked' by a game nowadays.

Happening to me with longer, grindier games.
I can finish games that take 2 to 3 hours to finish, especially if they're plot heavy.

One game I'm stuck with right now is Legend of Grimrock 2, which I'm playing blind, no map, ironman and one use crystals. It takes so much effort to go through especially since dying means I lose an hour or more of progress. So I'm really putting it off.

Shadman's art is the greatest. Only cucked redditors hate it.

>>384347720
if I can't finish a game in a couple sittings I quit.

>>384347720
its not new anymore its the same recycled plots with a different skin as you've played them so long. its like movies unless it has some insane effort put into it you just go "ehhh", it is your age simple as everything remains new and fresh when your young because....well your young you havent seen it/experienced it before

I finish 30 games every year.

>>384349650
Is there an archive of this guy's pictures I'd check it out.

Shadbase. I don't remember if it's com or org or what, I just keep it in bookmarks.

Kind of but I blame the game usually. Shelved BotW because a more satisfying experience was released in Crash N. Sane Trilogy.

>>384349958
Every character is caked in makeup, his tits have no sense of mass, piercings, smoking, running mascara, tattoos and in general everything other artists try to avoid because they don't want to be associated with drawing truck stop hookers.

I only play old games and I mostly just play for ~20 minutes 2-3 times per month. Sometimes I'll play a game I really really like and do a pseudo-speedrun of it.

It's because video games aren't valuable to you anymore, especially if you buy stuff from sales you have easy access to hundreds of titles you can play whenever you like. You've likely flipped from having more time than games to having more games than time, so it's harder for you to feel excited about playing them.

It's the same deal with pretty much everything, humans have a hard time valuing things that are omnipresent and taken for granted. Like health, or loved ones, or access to the internet.

You don't need to be especially good if you cater to enough fetishes or have good enough marketing. Also, art in general is pretty hard, and it's very easy to plateau if you're not trying very hard to improve yourself. At a certain point, just drawing more isn't enough to get better - you have to actually look for what you need to improve and make a conscious effort to improve it.

Though it's very strange seeing Shad just... stagnate. I've been following Shiin and Markydaysaid from day one and their improvement is ridiculous, for example.

You're not wrong. What is the most fucked up thing Shadman could ever make? Someone should pitch that to him.

>>384351263
t. slice of life enthusiast

My biggest problem with Shadman is how all the newfags think he's so hardcore and so fucked up when he's really pretty entry level. I mean, I guess since he draws actual people, you could make a bit of an argument, but he's never going to even come close to even an entry level guro artist like Uziga Waita, much less some of Wabaki or even Jagausa's more fucked up shit.

And that's fine. He certainly doesn't have to draw guro, but I just wish people would stop calling him so hard core and fucked up.

>>384353098
uhmm because he's not really into things stupid shadman is as vanilla loli as you can get

>>384349958
art-wise, its the weird kind of shading that straddles the line between comic book and anime that makes his characters look like they're covered in Vaseline.
Content wise, Shad is a total edgelord. He always adds smoking, piercings, and heavy makeup and a random off beat fetish just for the hell of it.

>>384349002

I'm operating under the delusion that I can recapture the sense of wonder if just the right game gets made.

>>384352504
or maybe some people actually have an idea of how good art is made and how anatomy works. But clearly shitman and his fans don't know anything about that

>>384352715
Is this a reference to something that actually happened? Did a girl get eaten by a sealion? Because I wouldn't be surprised if Shad heard a kid died and then drew it.

>>384353098
Shad is like CNN or Fox News. Something will happen, and he'll do something on it that tries for kneejerk reactions which his fans will vehemently defend. It just so happens that Shad's fans are even bigger retards, see >>384353204.

Yeah, I've kinda always been like that. I don't binge-play games anymore, I play them in short bursts and on rotation. Some games get dropped and never finished. I dunno, having played as many games as I have, unless it's something that really tickles my bum the right way then I prefer to have the variety of playing a couple of games over playing the one game for long stretches of time.
