Stop laughing at them. They got a kinda big number on an online petition, which means that Gabe Newell is going to travel to each of them to apologize to them personally before fixing TF2 then releasing Half-Life 3.
@AntifaCostanza
Also when you consider they show more naked, seething contempt for things like "saying mean things online," "being rude to a group I've decided is off-limits," and "drawing things I don't like" over, like, actual violet stuff that's a real crime.
@AntifaCostanza
Didn't someone basically debunk the whole "you can't translate the pun names" by going through them and being like "oh yeah, here's at least 3 alternatives that is better wordplay that is more true to the original" for pretty much all of them.
@pizzahutjapan
If these people really wanted to stick it to Scott Cawthon they should start charging him rent 'cause he's been living in their heads rent free for a decade now.
@AntifaCostanza
Oh, we're supposed to feel sorry for Lindsay Ellis, whose main gripe was that Doug wouldn't let her walk around in yellow face while bucking her front teeth out.
@Hoxtonator47
Putting forward that this is another case where people don't even understand words anymore and think things like "Lost Media" is just a generic intensifier. Y'know, like what happened with "Lore Accurate."
@AntifaCostanza
I used to know a guy who would frequently go on about how he was such a good person and how people should have "basic human empathy."
He believes that certain combinations of race and gender make people inherently evil.
@Sprocketguys
This'd actually be pretty cool if Capcom hasn't been dead set against ever doing anything aesthetically appealing again for the past decade+
@AntifaCostanza
But remember: Male privilege is a real thing. After all, women sometimes have to deal with the horrors of occasionally getting unsolicited compliments.
@LumpyTheCook
Fun fact: With the start of the theme song for M.A.S.H., Suicide is Painless, the lyrics "the visions of the things to be. The pains that are withheld for me"? That actually happened to be written with this very scenario being envisioned.
@boghogooo
I think "gameplay loop" is typically fine since that's worth discussing and there's not really any better terminology for the concept. The rest are red flags though.
@LumpyTheCook
Sitting at a computer, highlighting "fucking crushed it" to try different combinations of bolded words, looking to the crowd for approval between each attempt.
@LumpyTheCook
During the lead up to the release they said stuff like "the game wasn't even fun to play until X months ago" in the marketing. Wasn't 2022 *before* that point?
@LumpyTheCook
So... *Is* there anything they earnestly enjoy? I know I ask that sometimes as a gotcha but have they ever watched or played something and felt moved? Felt entertained? It really does seem like they never have.
@LumpyTheCook
That "Better Call Spinelli" bit seems like something I would come up with as an intentional joke about something having a painful lack of any intelligent wordplay.
@rustedair
There has not been a person to unironically sprinkle in Japanese phrases when speaking in the past 20 years, and they were always universally hated. Yet people who never left their gated community use AAVE non-stop.
@rustedair
Um actually anime has always 100% agreed with my political views which is why I think anyone that is involved in any way with it is a p*do and that it needs to be censored to an extreme level.

@exclaimcimota
Yeah but those are mediums that are unduly respected that people can't be brain dead drooling illiterate retards over to feel (once again, unduly) superior for no reason. + Also OP is a cunt.
@DDDstroyed
I remember that part of Japanese history/mythology when Konohanasakura-hime looked directly into the camera and said "vote blue no matter who."
@vasanthseshadri
@tazwake
That's so much projection it's playing in 50 theaters. Your presence, for your entire life, has been exclusively negative for anyone that has ever had the displeasure of knowing you.
@LumpyTheCook
"It's just a developer build though."
I also love putting high detail into placeholder assets that no one outside of the dev team should ideally ever see!
@patrician_tv
There was a video essayist that said something to the effect of "imagine a writer being simultaneously the edgiest and safest they could be" about one of the Modern Warfare games. Wish I could remember the guy's name.
@Necksplitter
No, no, you're confused. Let me help: If it originates from Japan in any way it's cringe. Anyway I'm going to go watch Kick streamers harass widows now.
@AntifaCostanza
You could say the most deranged, easily-disprovable-by-having-eyes shit about East Asians and Americans will 100% believe it. Anyway they're the Anti-Racist side.
@LumpyTheCook
There's something about the people bitching about it getting exactly what they wanted leading to the era where video games are the most visually repulsive they've ever been.
@gamesarentart
Yeah but see that game is old so thus inherently shitty and also it doesn't use modern rendering techniques so therefore looks awful. New thing good old thing bad.
@bahlivern
I remember that one fantasy movie where during the middle of the intro narration about the setting they slipped in an "also I hate the Jews."

Me realizing that the people who are obnoxious cunts are living in a Hell of their own making and to truly enjoy the victory I should focus *even more* on the things I enjoy.
@NutritiousButtr
Thank God it's only 10,000 times. If they started up for the 10,001th time he'd roll up his sleeves and be like "I've had all I can stands and I can't stands no more!"
@JoeLongBalls
You see, uhh, River, you may be named after a body of water but, uhh, you aren't getting on my yacht. Life finds a way, uhhh, but without my money.
@Sprocketguys
"why would most people want to know the director of a tv show" is probably the most nothing-behind-the-eyes, complete NPC response I've ever heard.
@Necksplitter
People (quote unquote) that spent the past 15 years screaming and crying and shitting themselves about boob armour with the cope excuse of "it's impractical" then turn around and say expecting any level of verisimilitude is a bad thing.
@ghost_jenkins
@guess_noob
@thicc_stick_boi
You took, like, the one example in the past 10+ years where that's not applicable. It's clear you're just assblasted about it. You're, like, actually genuinely sub-sapient.
@JoeLongBalls
I feel like I've been struck with a lightning bolt of insight. But I want to add my own take on the theory:
"Aloy is an attempt at a YA protagonist... Done by people who are incapable of figuring out what YA target demographic wants."
@joeyfordic
Think I saw someone say one time "there is going to be an entire industry around people just keeping an eye on people who grew up watching SKibidi Toilet."
@BiologyCert

@Necksplitter
You clearly have nothing going on in your life if you're here crying and screaming and shitting yourself because on twitter because people badmouthed sony.
@AntifaCostanza
That one SFDebris joke about if the characters could hear the soundtracks and goes: "Huh. I don't like the sound of that. Let's just wait this out instead."

I chuckle to myself as I quit the game after leaving another "secret ahead" message in a completely random location, not knowing that next time I'll be spawning into

Reminder that these """people""" secretly idolize that guy and have, multiple times, covered up for and defended actual p*dos for the sake of shitting on anime fans. The guy being QRT'd saying that is 100% projection on his part.
