what the digital circus ending shows to me is that fandom culture is a net negative and can genuinely ruin your experience with certain media. if you simply digest the content as it releases instead of every waking hour, you'll end up appreciating it way more.
“I cant play games because all i have is a vr headset that i use to post on twitter or watch videos on youtube” is either the most immaculate bait ive ever seen in my life or this is genuine and is the only person on the planet with this problem
@VeryClumsyMage Sorry but I just don't see it that way, I'm not gonna say you're objectively wrong but I really don't think we should be equating people who watch games and people who play games as the same type of fan, it's just fundamentally different
@VeryClumsyMage Yeah that's why I was talking about being a fan of watching or playing games, they're two separate things, they're two different ways of interacting with games that should be specified when you're not just having a surface level conversation
@VeryClumsyMage You're not a fan of the game as a whole, only certain aspects of it because you haven't touched the most intrinsic part of what makes a game, the gameplay
@VeryClumsyMage I wouldn't say it's objectively wrong, how can you say you're a fan of the game when you don't play it, you're only watching it which is a different experience
@VeryClumsyMage If you love watching plays so much then maybe you want to be an actor in one, and if you figure out that you don't want to then you're just a fan of watching plays, not acting in one.
And some people are fans of watching games not playing them, there's a difference between them
@VeryClumsyMage If you love a game so much then play it! It will mean so much more to you being able to interact with the game itself
And if you don't enjoy the gameplay then it's fine to just watch it, but you can't say you're getting the exact same experience as a player, that's the difference
we should ban teenagers from ALL media. and then on their 16th birthday they are brought to a theatre to be shown a movie of a train coming directly at them to see if they react and flee in horror like they did in 1896
Touhou fans used to call fans who didn't play the games "secondaries". Like yeah, they're fans, but they're secondaries. You're a fan of the secondary media, not the actual game. That's just kinda how it was.
@VeryClumsyMage@BigDaddyWio@DmarcusBaus Being a fan of a play/musical is actually a much better comparison than looking at art, the person who is a fan of plays/musicals is someone who watches people play co-op games, the actors in the play/musical are the ones actually playing the co-op game
