What’s wrong babe? You haven’t even touched your onion plate

Tankie your for sharing your opinion!

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

Impossible.

The last group of the elite could be bracing against the steel door in their Hawaii superbunker while survivors of the climate apocalypse are breaching it open, and they still wouldn’t realize their wrongdoings.

They would scream, beg, berate, and lie to try to control and trick us, but we’d never get an honest emotion out of them.

This post is 100% serious, I checked comments and their other posts

Exactly. Humanity will not survive like this. I have no problem with somebody building a successful business and making a few millions, but excessive wealth hording needs to stop. These people are holding essential resources of our planet hostage, while billions suffer.

“PYRAMID.AI - Where eternity meets innovation^TM

We’re not just stacking stones, we’re building the blockchain of eternity.

Legacy monuments are stuck in the past with zero data, zero scalability, and zero cloud integration, while humanity still lacks a truly iconic, scalable, and AI-optimized monument for the Web0 era. PYRAMID.AI is leveraging proprietary AI-driven algorithms to design, optimize, and construct next-gen pyramids at scale. With our neural net, you can…”

Same. I was looking forward to it so much, loved the first one, but this ruined my mood for weeks during the already shitty covid & lockdown period. And not in a “sad story” way, but in a “I waited years and I got disappointed” way.

Now the negative reaction of general audience to the second season of the show demonstrates how the story just sucks regardless of the medium, but gamers were gaslighted into thinking that only transphobe incels hated the game. Well, I guess not.

I loved the gameplay and the graphics, but the story is just badly written and utter shit. My wife loves to watch me play, but was scratching her head in the final hours of this game, trying to make sense of this mess.

And this would be fine, art is subjective, they took a risk, it didn’t work out - but if you dare point this out, you get branded a hater/bigot/etc and your opinion is discredited. Well fuck them, I paid full price for this game on day 1, and I didn’t like it. My opinion is valid, so I’m going to repeat it as many times as I want to.

Revenge bad

Thank you!

I mean, not only they would, but they already do, multiple examples for that

How about we just don’t do that?
