O gamer é, antes de tudo, uma pessoa insegura com seu próprio hobby.
Na busca por validação externa de seus joguinhos (o sonho do gamer é que joguinhos sejam aceitos como cinema), buscam um realismo exagerado em tudo.
Precisa mostrar o cara abrindo a portinha pro game ser bom?
You are truly such a philistine, a total embarrassment to conservatism.
Do you really not understand the concept of artistic interpretation? Does every single work of art, literature or music ever made have to be reproduced precisely as it was created?
This is part of why they're killing physical games. Now they can charge full price for 10+ year old games. This makes games more expensive. Even if you wait for sales, it often won't get as cheap as buying it used. This is what we have to look forward to when they go all digital.
This year really feels like the end for traditional gaming. Consoles less affordable, layoffs galore and now physical media on PlayStation is dead. Really hard to feel any excitement for any new consoles given this - I'm sure plenty of you don't care, but it matters a lot to me.
"Mixtape isn't an indie game because it has licensed music"
You fucking idiots.
Beethoven & Dinosaur's first game, The Artful Escape, was a big hit for an indie (and it won a BAFTA). It's estimated to have pulled in about $3M from Steam alone, and that's not counting the subsidized licensing deals they got from Game Pass and console sales; which obviously spiked after the awards it won.
They're a small developer. Your local supermarket employs more people than they do. They also got assistance from VicScreen, which is the government of Victoria agency that assists with movies, shows, and (yes) games.
So a small developer's debut game is a big hit, they get money from that, and then they get assistance from their local government for more funding.
There's no conspiracy here. You're just dumbasses.
This is not normal discourse.
We don’t have to accept this as an acceptable line of thinking. In fact, you should reject it with every fiber in your being.
These people hate normal Americans and the social norms that make our lives enjoyable and safe.
"Focker' sounds a liiiittle too close to another word I will not mention. Definitely will be interested to see how they navigate this, seeing as how it appears to be one of the character's names.
2 pictures side by side of the start of Smiling Friends 8 years ago and the end with @psychicpebble and I at Yum Yum donuts in Burbank, California. We would wander around different places in Burbank talking about the show and coming up with episode ideas, which consisted of a lot of imagining what Mr. Frog would smash and destroy around us. We’re so proud of this show and continue to be blown away by the fandom which loves it as much as we do. It was such an insane, amazing journey to make this and we really appreciate everyone who watched it and the incredible crew who worked on it, and of course @adultswim for making it happen. We love you all and thank you for allowing us to make you smile, you made us smile even more!
I'm genuinely starting to think some people legit do not have the cognitive ability to understand how Tourette's works. Like it's just too abstract for some people to understand, and no amount of explanation or education is going to get through to them
The flaw with this approach is that it involves a minutes worth of time and effort to understand something, whereas instinctively labelling people racists requires none.
