@mouseMSPDraws @NineOuh90 So this is the point we're at lol? Dick measuring over who consooms more? I accept your concession gracefully.
English
@DougiePJones @NineOuh90 I'm sure you're keeping that needle moving. How many games do you play? How many do you own? How many consoles?
English
No fr, someone tell me what we need "passive" consumers of video game media for?
Please, I'm not even being bad faith, break it down for me like I'm stupid.
Zombo (the #1 undisputed FakerSky fan)@Zombotnic
If we gatekept gaming fandoms to only people who purely played it there would be fucking NOTHING we NEED passive consumers and engagers, and if youre well versed in the series despite not playing the games, YOU ARE A FAN. (Minus gameplay discussion)
English
@mouseMSPDraws @NineOuh90 Okay but that's happening with people who buy and play the game themselves regardless, the people who watch LPs and engage in "fandom" (homosexual, parasocial waste of time) are not making up even a quarter % of that, like I said, people who buy the game move the needle retard
English
@DougiePJones @NineOuh90 If everyone is talking about it. Someone is going to be interested. And another. And another. Then hundreds of people buy it because they heard of it - then thousands. Because it must be good if everyone is talking about it.
English
@mouseMSPDraws @NineOuh90 Youre arguing people who don't play/buy the games but "consume" them and are a part of the fandom give "free advertising" for these games. If anything theyre a lost sale, not some kind of bonus for the publishers, people who actually buy the game push the needle, not fan art cmon
English
@DougiePJones @NineOuh90 Open up the "Reading Comprehension" tutorial. Come on, gamer. You know how to open the menu, right?
Because I never said anything like that whatsoever.
English
@mouseMSPDraws @NineOuh90 Says the person arguing for their right to literally not but the game, stfu.

@SportsRadioWIP "Constructively Insightful" is a polite way of saying lying out their fucking ass about the guy
English
REPORT: "Some close to Jalen Hurts feel that the Eagles did not support him enough when some constructively insightful stories came out this postseason about some of his deficiencies on the field...No one spoke up publicly on Hurts’ behalf as they did [Carson] Wentz [back in 2019]."

@RoseMarieAnon I legitimately can’t even tell there’s input lag my man. I just press the button, and the character does stuff. It’s that simple.
English
No offense, but I'll never understand how people are excited to play games on Switch Online with five extra frames of input lag.
You can download a Dreamcast emulator right now that will run better than anything Nintendo/Sega officially releases.
Keion@KeionJ05
WELLLLL you could always just
English
@mouseMSPDraws @NineOuh90 I'm not getting royalty checks bro lmao, who cares that some media property is getting "free advertising"
English
@NineOuh90 Free advertising. It's obvious.
If everyone is talking about it, making art for it, fan songs for it and engaging with the media. That means more people will be exposed to it, more people who can buy it will see it, and it will accrue more sales.
This is the ideal model.

@notgonnasayany1 @homolumen wow *owned*, sorry for insulting the honor of your surrogate father figure
English
@DougiePJones @homolumen So do you putting that much effort into your intellectual review of a sketch you didn't even like
English
This is all I have to say regarding Sam Hyde. Most have not truly engaged with his work and make superficial judgements without context. He might be retarded and pretentious but he is our pretentious retard. As an artist and comedian he has been supremely impactful. This clip is what got him taken off the air, he flew too close to the sun lmfao. This was in 2016 btw
English
@notgonnasayany1 @homolumen You understand you sound like a leftist saying that, right?
English
@DougiePJones @homolumen It's not meant to be funny. It's meant to educate those who don't know
English
@mhc_76 I mean, are they wrong tho lol? Phillies are the only other of the 4 that has the same level of support
English
One of the most annoying things that has happened on here since the Knicks series has been the Eagles only fans running with the "Philly only really cares about football really" as if they speak for the entire city
John From South Philly@JoFromSWPhilly
@mhc_76 Im a diehard eagles fans but these eagles only accounts are so annoying. They’re not real fans. Real Philly fans support all 4 pro teams and NYC, Boston, Dallas, and Washington are cities you should despise.
English
@revenant_MMXX Extreme Peace sucked, I was willing to put up with most of the shit he put out in the years leading up to that sucking balls if EP was worthwhile, it wasn't. I'm tired of pretending he's this brilliant mind, he's someone who's been incredibly lucky.
English
Many such cases. People think if you get more than a few followers on here, you now some kind of "duty" to lead them. Sam never struck me as anything other than a guy blowing off steam and, if read correctly, that's totally fine.
ちっちゃな大物 (Little Big Shot)@ermactuallyiuh
@revenant_MMXX It was only a matter of time, he got everyone on board and then just refused to use any of the energy or the momentum to do or really say anything at all. I think people are rightfully just accepting he isn’t interested in being some type of leader and they’re abandoning his ship
English
@NKujikawa @junebugparadise Okay well my point is it doesnt matter what game specifically it's focused on, because its happened so
often its clear now that every game has people like this, it's on general principal that these people are barnacles on the industry and medium as a whole that's making it worse
English
@DougiePJones @junebugparadise See,Resident Evil is a entirely different creature since that series radically altered it's core gameplay and that is a much more valid reason to be concerned since it messed with the gameplay. The current focus is Persona.
English
i feel like i’m going crazy whenever this comes up because there’s this insistent insinuation that you’re gatekeeping when you want people to interact with the interactive medium and there’s always some kind of “well some people want to consume the content that way” statement
English
@NKujikawa @junebugparadise This "discourse" get's microwaved every 3 months, and it's increasingly clear it's about every genre of game, last time it was Resident Evil.
English
@DougiePJones @junebugparadise I feel like you are talking about a entirely different set of games then what this discourse is focused on. Turn-Based JRPG's is the main focus of the discourse and those have basically always been heavy story type games since very early on.
English
@zermatist I would agree with this if the only worthwhile things he's made since WP got cancelled weren't just him boomer rambling advice for fatherless teens in a car, that again but sitting in a room with Nick and coughing, and one of the worst sketch shows I've ever seen.
English
I really hate the "what have you done for me lately" attitude among social media dorks. Sam Hyde isn't doing his best work now, but what he managed to do as a legitimately persecuted artist is nothing short of inspiring, and people being goldfish-brained about this are useless.
English
@NKujikawa @junebugparadise "behaving this way also makes nobody want to get into the series"
GIF
English
@DougiePJones @junebugparadise behaving this way also makes nobody want to get into the series because it makes the fans looking freaking miserable and look like a terrible group to be associated with. It's depressing to see people not want to touch the series because people act this way.
English
@NKujikawa @junebugparadise This is just retarded dude, you can say these people are fine or whatever, but mindless fandom faggots are the reason the industry has tipped toward the type of story/lore heavy movie games, and I'm not just going to be like "Yah man that's chill, ruin my hobby!"
English
@DougiePJones @junebugparadise Playing or Watching makes little difference to get into anything. You forfeit being able to speak on gameplay till play the game and nobody is arguing that. Thats a stupid reason to throw "superiority" around as a way to be a jerk on the internet and trying to use it as a excuse
English
@NKujikawa @junebugparadise "Someone trying to get into the franchise" wrong, they're actively arguing for their right to NOT to do that
" except to fuel a superiority complex" That superiority being playing the games that I'm a "fan" of.
These people are slugs man, you're giving them way too much credit
English
@DougiePJones @junebugparadise Yelling that at someone who is trying to get into the franchise is incredibly stupid and being a ass on the internet for no reason except to fuel a superiority complex they have and to gatekeep. But sure,continue to make the fandom look terrible.
