@Lol8ball you've left out "play to earn". videogames are all equally a waste of time so why would you be playing anything but the ones you can make money off of?
like the ultimate "grown out of videogames" type of opinion

Aside from the ugly apes, the main thing I'll remember from NFTs is how out of touch tech dudes who "grew out" of games tried to prove their utility in gaming.
"You can take a sword from Dark Souls into Skyrim! You retain ownership of it even when the servers go down!"

Someone bought Jack Dorsey’s first ever tweet NFT for $2.9 million in 2021. Today, it is worth less than $5.

@DevteamL it's because the journalistic apparatus is giving it 10/10. the game is a medium to shit on journalist and content creators. i think it looks awful, but i will just not play it and move on with my life, but it is definitely 100% pushed, more than likely, through unethical means.
English
I don't get the Mixtape discourse.
Games can be deep gameplay, small cinematic experience with one button, easy, hard, whatever.
Categorizing what should be interactivity is just shrinking the variety.
Play Elden Ring or Firewatch. It's cool in their own ways.

@Figglewatts it's really funny because i remember when the prince of persia reboot came out, and it didn't have lose states and everyone hated it
English
Please can we get better discourse on here than ‘games need to have a lose condition to be considered games’.
This hasn’t ever been true really. It’s fine to dislike games lacking it based on your own taste, but broadly applying it to an entire medium is ahistorical.
English
@ManaByte it's not that it's "woke" that people have issue with. it's that's it's barely a game and looks like shit. it's obviously also being shilled.
English
I’m losing my mind with the absolute state of "gaming discourse" right now.
There is literally nothing "woke" about Mixtape. If you actually look at the game for more than two seconds, it’s a pure, nostalgic love letter to being a teenager, skating, and the music that shaped us. It’s about as universal as a story gets.
But of course, the usual circle of grifters is out here inventing a complete fantasy narrative just to farm engagement and stir up fake outrage. They aren't even playing the games they’re yelling about anymore; they’re just lying to your face because rage-bait pays the bills.
It’s exhausting. Stop falling for the grift and just look at the actual game. I'm begging you.

Paid reviews discourse in 2026 if you don’t laugh you shit yourself and die.
The problem with IGN isn’t “paid reviews”and it never was.. the problem is that you have a group of 35+ reviewers with wildly different tastes all represented as one “face” of a highly influential company.
It isn’t weird for a group of 35 people to have one who isn’t sold by Mouse PI & then one who LOVES Mixtape, the problem is how from the outside people just see one face (IGN itself) rating every game under one banner, which provides wildly inconsistent record of reviews that then always provide viral tweets as people just laugh at the inconsistency rather than do any research or critical thinking into how those conclusions come to fruition.
BasicallyImSimon@BasicImSimon
How much were they paid to give it a 10. Like never take IGN reviews serious, they give the most wtf reviews ever. Like the cartoony mouse game "Its too unrealistic and has too many cheese jokes" and give it a 6 Watch them give stranger thn heaven like 6 because they werent paid

@o_sneedy oh yeah it's infinitely worse seeing an australian say it. the cultural contamination is fucking awful.

@podopriguez in a truly perfect world she wouldn't need to contact the council. she would just merely stop her self from trying.
English
@Riffwraith exactly, who does she think she is?!
choosing games without consulting the gamer council first 😅
English
classic gate-keeping.
when The Artful Escape came out I knew it’d be perfect for my wife: music lover, feel-good stories, not a hardcore gamer. she finished it in two evenings and immediately started again. I already got her Mixtape.
gamers need to grow up and understand that the medium has gone a long way. a good game isn’t just reflexes and lose conditions.

Explaining why I, personally, hate Mixtape in just under 3 minutes of totally uninterrupted "gameplay" (Spoilers):
English
This tweet single handedly proved to me why games will never be seen as a proper art form.
Gamers are genuinely too stupid to perceive it as such.
Christina Tasty@ChristinaTasty
Last years GotY was literally named after an art painting technique. Gamers like art. It just so happens they like... well, y'know. Games.

@D00k3n @ThePosieParker i never said any of this. i never even brought up immigration. i said you are willingly ceding your culture for some reason. what reason is that? your immigration system is fucked, but the actual problem i am talking about is much more spiritual than just immigration.
English
@Riffwraith @ThePosieParker We haven't given any of our country. Why is everything about giving things up? Is our immigration system perfect? Fuck no. Is every brown person evil? Fuck no. The rehtoric that all immigration is bad is exactly the problem this country has.
English
It isn’t. Fuck off.
British Indians Voice 🇮🇳🇬🇧@BritIndianVoice
Britain's national dish is Chicken Tikka Masala. Not fish and chips. Not a Sunday roast. Not a cream tea. Chicken. Tikka. Masala. A dish invented by British Indians. In a restaurant in Glasgow. Because a customer complained the curry was too dry. And now it outsells every other dish in Britain. We didn't just feed Britain. We changed the way Britain tastes. The way Britain smells. The way Britain eats. You're welcome. 🌶️🇬🇧🇮🇳 #BritishIndians
English
@D00k3n @ThePosieParker how much of your country do you have to give to remember colonization?
English
@Riffwraith @ThePosieParker I think ots certainly fits. Yes, a curry is not what traditionalists would consider British. But colonisation has to be remembered, as well as the fact tikka masala was created in Scotland. It's as much chance as anything else.
English
@D00k3n @ThePosieParker why do you believe, then, that tikka masala has been deemed the national dish? i am sure it is popular there don't get me wrong, but do you think it's so ubiquitous that it it would be agreed upon as "this is the dish of britain". i'm not british so i wouldn't know.
English
@Riffwraith @ThePosieParker I do yes, on personal preference. As I'm sure most do. That doesn't mean I, or they are right.
English
@D00k3n @ThePosieParker do you think there are any british dishes that would better represent the isles better?
English
@Riffwraith @ThePosieParker ...I don't hate myself. Quite happy with me actually. And enjoy living in a multicultural society. I don't ask anyone to agree with me, just not to force their opinions on others.

@Balder998 @HapistRitler presumably the onlyfans models are actual prostitutes.

@D00k3n @ThePosieParker as a brown person, they are subverting your culture and making you hate yourself. it's been done many times before.
English
@Riffwraith @ThePosieParker It's being done because people like it? The vast majority of this country couldn't give 2 shits about where something or someone comes from.
