and then you get a divide that can be exploited

2018-01-22 18:05:41 UTC  

Like the last US election Ill assume

2018-01-22 18:05:49 UTC  

Kinda wierd to say at least.

2018-01-22 18:06:18 UTC  

Dunno how wrong but I saw people change left to right when they realised games were threatened by the left now.

2018-01-22 18:06:49 UTC  

I mean, I changed my perspective as well.

2018-01-22 18:06:55 UTC  

well, its cuz like in reality, 90% of the world just wants to be left alone, and live their own life without interference from outside

2018-01-22 18:07:22 UTC  

gamers especially, cuz they just wanna game, they don't care about politics at all or who's in charge, just let them have their job to stay alive and game in their free time

2018-01-22 18:08:04 UTC  

Youre telling me of all people lol

2018-01-22 18:08:07 UTC  

but the progressive left somehow decreed that a middle ground no longer exists, and until the "enemy"(whoever they decide nowadays) is utterly destroyed forever, theres only us vs them

2018-01-22 18:08:27 UTC  

Well, lets say that theres people out there that gave zero fucks about politics

2018-01-22 18:08:35 UTC  

Now hate it with a passion

2018-01-22 18:08:48 UTC  

Kicked the hornets nest as they say

2018-01-22 18:10:00 UTC  

well, its literally because those people don't care they literally say "leave me alone" and these political people barge in going "No! there can be no more aloneness until you fully realised the world as we see it", and these people now just hop to anyone that announces they'll make the loud political whine-ists go away

2018-01-22 18:10:19 UTC  

Cringy messages in cartoons?

2018-01-22 18:10:23 UTC  

I remember those.

2018-01-22 18:10:28 UTC  

eugh, new Marvel comics

2018-01-22 18:10:34 UTC  

Well I meant back then

2018-01-22 18:10:39 UTC  

😛

2018-01-22 18:10:42 UTC  

Moral games?

2018-01-22 18:10:49 UTC  

Remakes of the violent ones?

2018-01-22 18:11:04 UTC  

Those were cringy. So seeing how they are basically doing it with all these walking sims

2018-01-22 18:11:23 UTC  

what was that game again? "Gone Home"?

2018-01-22 18:12:18 UTC  

about walking through a fictional home and discovering messages about a lesbian pre-adolescent kid that ran away cuz she was unhappy unless she was with her army gf?

2018-01-22 18:12:33 UTC  

Well, problem I had with is wasnt the game itself

2018-01-22 18:12:56 UTC  

I mean I thought the game was just well, okay. Okay 2-5 bucks for one playthrough

2018-01-22 18:13:16 UTC  

It was novel, interesting for a first time. But forgettable in the end

2018-01-22 18:13:28 UTC  

I only had issues with the journalism around it

2018-01-22 18:13:44 UTC  

Like I literally know nobody who has played it

2018-01-22 18:13:55 UTC  

well the issue is that it was poorly made, had no game elements to it, no replay value and no "believable" message

so people just went "what is this crap and why am i paying money for this?"

and disliking it means you don't like it, hence you hate the creators suddenly because hating a product is somehow hating on the maker

making you literally hitler or something 😛

2018-01-22 18:13:56 UTC  

but the journalists would harp on about it

2018-01-22 18:14:34 UTC  

I mean, I back then was real liberal (the real kind) when it came to what can go into games.

2018-01-22 18:14:45 UTC  

Still am actually, not implying I am not that now

2018-01-22 18:15:02 UTC  

i understand you, but sadly the word "liberal"is just tainted now into being a crazy person

2018-01-22 18:16:07 UTC  

Well, we got rape sims, a columbine sim, and even a mass shooting sim. Still was okay with all of them.

2018-01-22 18:16:31 UTC  

So no reason for me to not tolerate Gone Home. I just, didnt like the journalism around it

2018-01-22 18:16:33 UTC  

and the reason journalists harp on about it is because they need media shock

they can't break the news because of twitter tweets etc beating them to it, meaning they can't be the "first to report"

hence they have to draw an audience from somewhere else, which is by actually creating the news by making problems where there are none

then getting that bullshit pointed out, and whining about being harassed for "reporting the news"

2018-01-22 18:16:58 UTC  

Well, problem is that journalism around games is basically obsolete.

2018-01-22 18:17:11 UTC  

We got actual gamers submitting entire playthroughs

2018-01-22 18:17:22 UTC  

Speedrunners.

2018-01-22 18:17:43 UTC  

look at Jim Acosta with trump, he's being rude, interrupts anyone else, won't listen and only makes bait questions, and when trump tells him to F-off, he reports on CNN "boohoo, president is mean to me and censors journalism"

2018-01-22 18:17:48 UTC  

and yes
