Women wearing head coverings and having pronounced nose bridges always seems to make them hotter. If I was better at it, I'd hit up middle eastern and indian girls direct

The worst songs that are also weirdly catchy are The Corner by Common and Temporary Secretary by Paul McCartney

@Logo_Daedalus And then "no one know what it means but it's provocative" gets sampled and popular on N-words in Paris by Kanye and Jay-Z

[low profile 🏗💻 @lowprof1740]

@Logo_Daedalus It's all so puerile posturing. Boys just had to loudly proclaim they didn't like the most obvious boy appealing to girls music - Justin Bieber then One Direction. And for rap, speed and "saying something" = better so Eminem is the rap god compared to party boy Lil Wayne

Looking back, millennials grew up during a genuine golden age of AAA innovation, and somehow, we responded to it with some of the most dogshit criticism imaginable. A lot of the industry's current problems are the direct result of studios trying to "fix" complaints that never actually mattered in the first place.

Look back at some of the most common complaints from our time, and you'll see for yourself

"The campaign is too short. It’s only 8 hours!"
So now every game is padded with endless busywork, crafting systems, collectible spam, and pacing-destroying filler designed to artificially inflate playtime. We traded tight, replayable campaigns with memorable set pieces for 60-hour slogs that most people never even finish.

"It has a tacked-on multiplayer mode!"
A huge number of beloved multiplayer experiences started as “tacked-on modes.” Developers used to experiment because they could. A lot of those modes existed because parts of the team had downtime while waiting on other departments, so they built weird ideas for fun. That kind of experimentation is how entire genres are born. Thanks to this criticism, we barely get interesting side modes anymore. Singleplayer games stopped experimenting with multiplayer, and multiplayer games stopped shipping with campaigns.

"The game is too linear and on rails!"
Uhh, yeah? Sometimes that’s the point. Linear games allow developers to control pacing, tension, balance, atmosphere, and spectacle with precision. Not every experience benefits from being an open-world sandbox. Now everything has to be “go anywhere, do anything,” which usually just means bloated maps full of repetitive content where players accidentally skip important moments or experience the story in the worst possible order.

"There’s nothing to do after you beat the game!"
This helped create the live-service mentality where games are expected to become permanent hobbies instead of complete experiences. Seasonal progression, daily challenges, battle passes, rotating shops, login rewards. Games used to end, and now they’re designed to be work.

"The cutscenes take control away from the player!"
So now stories are delivered through endless walking sections where characters slowly talk at you while you hold forward. Ironically, this often feels less interactive than a well-directed cutscene because you’re not really playing, you’re just pretending to.

"The game is too repetitive, you just do the same thing over and over!"
This criticism pushed studios toward constant novelty at the expense of mechanical depth. Older games would give you a solid core mechanic and let you master it over time. Modern AAA games are terrified you’ll get bored, so they throw gimmick after gimmick at you instead of refining the fundamentals.

"It’s just another brown military shooter!"
This criticism was understandable at the time, but it led to every game becoming terrified of sincerity. Everything had to become quirk chungus, self-aware, colorful, ironic, self referential, and stuffed with marvel-style dialogue. A lot of AAA writing lost the ability to be earnest because studios became scared of being called generic.

I could go on and on, but you get the point. A lot of people (rightfully) blame sarkeesian for the current state of the industry, but we really dont blame yahtzee enough, seeing as he got everything he asked for, but not what he wanted.

The reason Drake is the best is because his best lines are these very simple bits of wordplay that feel effortless & obvious until you realize no one else said it before: “My mind on my money / I’m racking my brain” etc

@Fr33Kingdom Because he doesn't do lyrical spiritual stuff but rhymes similar sounds at the end of words with mixed metaphors to make a clear point
