- Comment on Bully Online, the ambitious mod that brought multiplayer and more to Rockstar's classic school sim, shuts down a month after launch: 'This was not something we wanted' 2 weeks ago:
what would you even do in online bully? Roleplay as pretentious teenagers? Sounds even more cringe than GTA and Red Dead RP, which is difficult to accomplish.
And to clarify, I’ve spent most of my life RPing so the call came from inside the house.

Don’t those games largely get removed from the platform?

- Comment on YSK about Israel’s “Samson Option”: The Nuclear Target List that includes American and European cities… 3 weeks ago:
Might be relevant in a world where it wasn’t the first comment I made and where we aren’t literally talking about a fascist dictatorship actively committing genocide.
You’re too stupid to participate in conversation, you can leave now.
- Comment on YSK about Israel’s “Samson Option”: The Nuclear Target List that includes American and European cities… 3 weeks ago:
We are also critical of the US for these things, though, so it’s crazy to act as if we aren’t consistent.
“Whatabout-” yes they are bad too, now stop pretending that you aren’t defending a genocidal state and intentionally conflating criticism of the state with criticisms of all Jews. (Not saying you, but the other guy)
- Comment on YSK about Israel’s “Samson Option”: The Nuclear Target List that includes American and European cities… 3 weeks ago:
Ah yes, it’s anti-semitic to criticise modern Hitler’s use of nukes to bully other nations into staying out of international human rights violations.
- Comment on YSK about Israel’s “Samson Option”: The Nuclear Target List that includes American and European cities… 3 weeks ago:
If Hitler had nukes we would have been upset to learn about that.
Sorry, you are too stupid to participate in conversation. You may leave now.
- Comment on Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason 5 weeks ago:
You must not know a lot of kids or have a lot of world experience. Onion is a top picky eater food. Why do parents force kids to eat them? Perception of table etiquette.
Pretty easy thing to explain, if you are over the age of 15.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 weeks ago:
Okay.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 weeks ago:
The parry button is a core concept of the game that you are interacting with multiple times in a round of combat.
To say the late game is “parry or die” is analagous to saying the late game is “attack or die”, “level up or die”, “use potions or die”, “learn builds or die”, etc
Yeah. You have to interact with the core mechanic.
No, it does not convey your actual opinion at all, in fact.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 weeks ago:
“Parry or die” came from you verbatim, actually.
Which is not your criticism.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 weeks ago:
Okay. I disagree with your criticism.
Now let’s go back to the beginning. Wow, looks like… that’s not what you said in the beginning.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 weeks ago:
Your problem boils down to:
“I was forced to use the parry button to progress in the game.”
If this became an issue for you, then you probably should have changed the difficulty to be lower.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 weeks ago:
…no, that is quite literally not a valid example of criticism. Sorry.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 weeks ago:
…dawg, I think you’re just dogshit at the game. are these issues you had on the lowest difficulty? Because if so, then no, at no point did you ever “get good”, I promise.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 weeks ago:
They’re just incredibly bad criticisms tbh. The first one is only subjectively a “criticism” in the first place, and the other is- at best- a poorly made observation.
So yes, let me double down. If whenever a game says “this is how you play the game” and your response to that is “it shouldn’t be”, maybe gaming isn’t for you.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 weeks ago:
What are the odds that a mechanic introduced to you in the first combat is a required component of the game? Crazy.
I think you should probably give up on gaming. Doesn’t seem like your scene: it’s for people that have the ability to process information and learn from it.
- Comment on If you want to get into handheld gaming, but don't want to spend a lot, buy one of these. 1 month ago:
Any game. It’s a remote desktop app, basically. If it’s a steam game, it will come with a default phone touchscreen gamepad set up and usually there are also official and community layouts you can use. The layouts are… not as good as you might like, and I am frequently having issues with my custom ones disappearing or not loading. But it’s not the worst thing ever and I can play modded skyrim on my phone at work.
Non-steam games can be added to the steam library and you can manage their controller schemes the same way- sometimes they will even have community layouts available also. MMV with non-steam games. For example, Valorant won’t recognize my mouse click on my phone. And certain apps apparently force you into a “local input only” mode and might kinda break your setup until you play around with it a bit (don’t go into task manager lol).
But yes, you can also easily connect a bluetooth controller to your phone and any game that uses a controller works great.

Their point seems to be that you misunderstand the word hubris. Hubris is a negative trait, not a positive one. Maybe you meant humility?

Lol you called me juvenile because you personally don’t like one of the most objectively popular games of all time? Yeah… anyway, sorry. Skill issue. Get good.

I mean, dying in Dark Souls just isn’t very punishing at all. Idk, not every game is for every person, after all.

Yeah, probably just not your game. Not everyone loves every masterpiece. shrug

Yeah, I haven’t played Silksong myself, but it was obvious from it being the most highly anticipated game of the year to getting a bunch of mixed reviews and then basically fell off the radar. Like I’m sure it’s a great game, but it doesn’t seem like it’s even going to be a contender.

Not. Even. Close.

Btw everyone check out expedition 33. It’s the only game that should even be considered for goty and it’s not even close. Don’t @ me.
