i think its fun and good that people pick an internet name for themselves these days but i kinda miss when u had some fuckass username and ppl just extrapolated from that i used to be on a star wars forum where my handle was ProfessorMug and ppl just called me prof. u know like there was a guy w vader in his handle so he was just vader

sometimes the moral of the story really is just "you cannot go back and what happened to you is going to be with you for the rest of your life. but it's still going to be okay" huh

rb to give prev the mysterious orange drink that keeps them from falling into a deep slumber

sometimes a video game with a bad story has a good secret story that you can unlock if you pretend the bad parts aren’t there and make up a bunch of stuff

tshirts that say shit like "I ❤️ PICKING AT OLD WOUNDS" "I ❤️ REPEATING THE CYCLE" "I ❤️ CHANGING FOR THE WORSE" but instead of a heart there's a snake devouring its own tail

even the top blushes and giggles and kicks her feet

"Are video games art?" They're actually so not art that they're negative art. If you play Diablo 3 for an hour and forty-two minutes you've no longer ever seen Casablanca. Every 100 levels you beat in Candy Crush deletes all your opinions about an exhibit in the Tate Modern.

I'm sorry to all the tone-indicator people, but "/hj" will always mean "end of handjob" for me

now that za/um has canned everyone else and cancelled all of their alleged projects they can finally make that game about a witch in the alps trying to find her neighbor's c

to be clear i don't think it's funny that these scammers fired huge chunk of the remaining devs (reportedly fucking with some employees' immigration status) and wiping out your entire project slate -- including a sequel that the devs genuinely believed in and were close to finishing despite being mistreated every step of the way -- in favor of an ill defined 'wide scale RPG' that doesn't even take place in elysium (pcgamer source) like this is hurting a lot of people. but management deserves infinite mockery for buying the golden goose farm, killing the goose that laid the golden egg, and then killing all of the other geese who lay normal eggs, while announcing to the public that theyll serve a giant omelette at some point in the future. this has to be some kind of money laundering thing

ITS A HAND FAN!!!! IM INNOCENT!!!!!

I don't have an issue with video games that focus more on narrative and story than gameplay or replayablity, but i will always be annoyed by people who use the existence of 'narrative driven art games where you don't die and you don't kill people and there's no dialogue and it's actually not for kids this time" as proof that video games "can be art" as if the "game" part of video games ia getting in the way of that.

like in general i hate this idea that in order for video games to be taken seriously as "art", you have to completely ignore the parts that make the medium unique and instead just focus on what makes it similar to other mediums that people agree is already an art form, because it's how you get people acting like all video games were just pong until The Last of us part 2 proved video games can be more than games for babies i guess
