C'est la vie.
I don't understand why they take everything as a personal affront
BraveSteelDragon (BraveSteel?) - Yesterday at 11:27 AM
tbf if angel really understood the general stance of people in this discord, then someone wise would probably not try to get that topic into these chats
Focks-Bocks (=CJW=Ensalus) - Yesterday at 11:28 AM
Having an unpopular or controversial opinion is something I can respect. But you've got to grow a skin and prepare to take shit over it
It's not like I was even using ~harsh language~ or being particularly insulting. They have used mountain dew adds to target high school aged boys
So nothing I said in that was particularly inaccurate, lol

I don't think there's a "general stance" in a Discord of X thousand. Most people are very opinionated about mainstream gaming, mostly, I think, because of their (also, mine) bitter realization that mods of old games/indie games>>>mainstream games nowadays.

[12:24] Angel Unit 55: If you're really going to resort to insults to get your point across...

I'm done. You proved me right, the MWLL discord has an agenda against mainstream gaming, and if you try to go against it the insults fly. What a crushing disappointment.
Focks-Bocks (=CJW=Ensalus) - Yesterday at 11:32 AM
So they play it safe and recycle the same game as long as it will sell

for the same reason too

thing about the internet is... you meet people there, and they have their own opinions

Much like real life
BraveSteelDragon (BraveSteel?) - Yesterday at 11:36 AM
iirc, angel last leave was because "mwll discord is too toxic about mainstream gaming"
Thunderbird ([CC-SF] Thunderbird) - Yesterday at 11:36 AM
he does have mental issues
and while i can sympathize, sheltering someone from the real world is not productive
Focks-Bocks (=CJW=Ensalus) - Yesterday at 11:37 AM
Doesn't change the facts of life. You're going to meet people with different opinions
Thunderbird ([CC-SF] Thunderbird) - Yesterday at 11:37 AM
as for "gaming journalism"
BraveSteelDragon (BraveSteel?) - Yesterday at 11:38 AM
tbh, even if people here are actively hostile towards 'mainstream gaming', it's still a type of hostility that's a lot more tame than IRL
Thunderbird ([CC-SF] Thunderbird) - Yesterday at 11:38 AM
90% of it is clickbaity shit or low quality smut that i wouldnt print on a napkin to wipe my ass with it... and i can say that with authority, because my dad, which i happen to admire in his profession, is a journalist and a writer
im not half bad at writing either, but its not something i enjoy
Focks-Bocks (=CJW=Ensalus) - Yesterday at 11:39 AM
It's an echo chamber and they've been caught getting paid off. You can't have that important thing called journalist integrity while taking bribes
Thunderbird ([CC-SF] Thunderbird) - Yesterday at 11:39 AM
nope
so many people take bribes these days... its pathetic
Focks-Bocks (=CJW=Ensalus) - Yesterday at 11:39 AM
Secondly, gaming journalism is just like film review
It's all opinion pieces and subjective anyway
Thunderbird ([CC-SF] Thunderbird) - Yesterday at 11:40 AM
imho film review has slightly more integrity
probably because theres a lot less money in films
Focks-Bocks (=CJW=Ensalus) - Yesterday at 11:40 AM
I mean at it's base, it's media review
Thunderbird ([CC-SF] Thunderbird) - Yesterday at 11:40 AM
ae
aye
art even
art is subjective
can be better or worse executed, but that doesnt change the "meat" of the piece
Focks-Bocks (=CJW=Ensalus) - Yesterday at 11:42 AM
Yeah, I was about to add something along those lines
Yes, there are objective parts to game making, but most of that is back-end anyeay
A majority of it is "what do I like about game X? What do I dislike? What can it improve upon? GOTY. 10/10
Thunderbird ([CC-SF] Thunderbird) - Yesterday at 11:47 AM
well, design is pretty objective, but it still follows, and tries to achieve, the subjective vision
case in point, fucking MWO
Focks-Bocks (=CJW=Ensalus) - Yesterday at 11:50 AM
Early MWO was pretty good, when it was 3025 tech only
Thunderbird ([CC-SF] Thunderbird) - Yesterday at 11:50 AM
yeah, back then very few people suspected whats going to happen
Focks-Bocks (=CJW=Ensalus) - Yesterday at 11:50 AM
And had. Collision and repair and rearm costs
I've wasted more money than I'd ever want to admit over the years on it
Hoping they'd eventually steer it clear

this is the incident that made me realize PGI is just another shitty company holding my favourite IP hostage

Can't watch given the time/my phone. But is it the one where Paul's in a catapult and they just keep running into him?
Thunderbird ([CC-SF] Thunderbird) - Yesterday at 11:52 AM
yea
i gave PGI money back then too
even a few times after that
but, alas, every single time my hopes were trampled and my, at the time, pesimistic expectations were confirmed
Focks-Bocks (=CJW=Ensalus) - Yesterday at 11:53 AM
Yeah, I have a weakness for certain mechs
Like, if they added the thug, if probably buy the cheapest pack
Just because thug

I mean
We try to arguie that, yes mainstream gaming is in a bad shape
But that doesnt mean the whole industry is cancer
Just look at Into the Breach
Great games are being made all the time
Bad games where aways made
There a lot more bad old games than good old games
Its just the way things are, i still dont know why he gets so offended :shrug:

And being a sperg means it's your responsibility to keep your retardation in check, not everyone else's to walk on egg shells so you don't flip a titty biscuit because they don't agree with you.
