@xgramiliki You can’t tell who or what this character is from because it’s from a game that was announced for the first time last week. A week after Clair obscur was announced no one knew anyone from that game either. What is this point?

@siderealsongs @TrueTa1ent 90-95% of the average game is gameplay and not cutscenes, so that’s 90% of the game that a person has no idea about Which makes your opinion on the game as a whole invalid. You can be a fan idc but you need to realize until you interact with the medium your opinion is invalid

@TrueTa1ent @TreeNihha Never said I was a tennis player bb. Just that I’m a fan OF tennis. And maybe I tried and played it and sucked, but I still enjoyed the concept of the game :) I’m going to watch others play and continue enjoying it, and maybe try again down the road when I want to even! Crazy!

@siderealsongs @TrueTa1ent The whole argument started because people who have not played the game were arguing about the game with people who have played the game. Which is insane.

@siderealsongs @TrueTa1ent You can be a fan of tennis that’s ok, but your opinion is intrinsically worth less than someone who has played tennis before. A gamer can be a fan of any series they want(I guess) but they’re opinion is worth significantly less than someone who has played the game

@LargoLentoVento @junmypookie Synopsis, video essay, playthrough, stream idgaf pick whatever you want Jesus Christ. You keep getting hung up on shit that doesn’t matter instead of engaging with what I’m saying.

@LargoLentoVento @junmypookie And you yourself asked said “did you watch commentary on that movie”. I than answered why watching a commentary cannot be compared to watching the movie.

@LargoLentoVento @junmypookie I’m being literal here, the ONLY thing separating games from tv/movies is the gameplay. If you remove the gameplay it’s a glorified movie. That’s why you can YouTube any game and add movie to the end and get 100 vids of everything but the gameplay.

@TreeNihha @junmypookie Video games are an audio/visual medium. Food is an oral/olfactory medium. What a terrible analogy lol

@LargoLentoVento @junmypookie For this movie example let’s assume you got 100% understanding of the plot/story from a video. A movie is more than a story -acting -soundtrack -direction -lighting -pacing -story -set design -makeup -etc Out of all of those you can only get one from watching a video on it.

@TreeNihha @junmypookie Did you watch commentary on that movie? Because that's what a playthrough is. Unless you actually think streamers just upload a black screen to youtube, in which case lmao

@LargoLentoVento @denimneverdies Yes gaming is an expensive hobby, but that’s what it takes sometimes if you want to be apart of it, it’s an investment for yourself. Collecting,traveling,photography are all expensive hobby’s but if you want to be involved you have to invest in it.

@djodjeee_ I can’t afford to eat at a Gordon Ramsey restaurant, that doesn’t mean my opinion about the food at that restaurant is automatically valid because I’m financially incapable of experiencing it. Doesn’t mean I don’t like food, I just can’t have an opinion on the food I haven’t had.

@mrRNAExtract I think if the discussion is about strictly the narrative it’s fine, but someone who has not played the game cannot have an opinion on whether the game is good or bad. As they cannot participate in 90% of the conversation outside of reiterating the plot of the game.

I meant u can call urself a fan or whatever you want that’s not a problem. The issue is when people who played the game are having a discussion about gameplay mechanics and someone who only watched a walkthrough is “correcting” the takes of people who actually played the game
ivy‏ 𖦹@pricefieldism

i don't get the "you have to physically play a game to say you're a fan" take at all like yeah obviously watching a playthrough isn't the exact same experience but i don't think you can't say you're a fan of it just because of that?

I’m not even trying to be funny and I do get that she was wrong, but why is there such an intense infatuation with making Becky Hammon apologize? Can someone explain? Because pundits are wrong all the time. Some cop to being wrong. Some don’t.
Jason Page@TheBackPage

The very first question to @BeckyHammon in her availability with the media had better be about Jalen Brunson. There should be a mea culpa. Will she swallow her pride or will she just try to dance? We shall see.

@JesterJasmyn @snoshi7 But your opinion on the album as a whole is irrelevant. Gaming is a medium people are passionate about and having to argue with people who refuse to actually participate in the medium yet want to talk about shit they know nothing about is the most annoying thing possible.

@snoshi7 This is just a semantics debate at this point. Unless you are implying people can’t like a game for different reasons which is ironically an anti-art stance. Claiming to be a “fan” of anything does not breach anything other than made up rules that no one off of Twitter cares abt

@JesterJasmyn @snoshi7 If your going to voice opinions on movies I at the very least expect you to watch the movies you are taking about, if you want to criticize an album you need to listen to the album before speaking. If you only wanna listen to a couple songs that’s great good for you-

@JesterJasmyn @snoshi7 You can still enjoy whatever you want and be a fan, but this idea that any and every person that wants to have an opinion on something should is ridiculous.
