im unsure if you occasionally get tortured into posting these things on fol and then have your memory wiped of the occassion or if you also have a pact to save the world no matter the cost of your pride
idk
balatro is awesome
astro bot is allegedly really cool
I find it hard to believe Metaphor isn’t worthy
and I’ve heard basically only good things about Black Myth: Wukong
I will admit that a DLC being nominated is kinda whatever but like its Elden Ring
you not having heard of fantastic games doesn’t make them not fantastic
astrobot is really cool but its like super mario being nominated
which is valid if the game is awesome?
video games don’t have to be linear cinematic setpieces to be game of the year
whilst super mario is cool its not winning more than a few “you exist” awards
somebody making apparently the best 3D platformer game in a hot minute (a genre that is widely loved for a reason, mind you) is entirely plausibly game of the year
no it does when they’re supposed to be game of the year lol
well orangeandblack5 i’ll see you at the ceremony
no it really doesn’t
metaphor fucking swept jrpg circles harder than FFVII Rebirth (because it’s a better game cough) and astro bot did the same for platformer fans (which again are like everywhere because the genre has such a massive legacy that making a new, innovating, awesome one is genuinely hard af)
game of the year doesn’t need to be the most popular in your little echo chamber on tiktok or whatever
very unneccesarily rude
wasn’t intending to come off that way, my apologies
can definitely see how that sounds demeaning af I just know you’re the tiktok guy
No I know exactly how you meant it
I’m not going to engage with you with this anymore
kyo it was only meant in the way you constantly call everything I like “for old people”
light ribbing at a small age difference with no genuine attempt to be malicious or insulting behind it
I’m sorry it didn’t land but I would ask that you look at the number of times you’ve thrown the same kind of thing at me in the other direction before you get genuinely upset with me here
i think i want a beef wellington
I don’t think you meant it horribly
I think you got frustrated that my opinion was what you perceived to be very misinformed and you posted a more charged than ideal message which you have proceeded to claim you didn’t mean to be charged when it very clearly was charged
Referring to something being “for old people” is a very common saying/trope that everyone knows is based upon generational differences rather than the actual underlying topic
What you’ve said is largely different because “echo chamber” has very negative connotations and in combination with your reference to tiktok it’s demeaning
also there’s a key difference in that I actually use tiktok, and that you’re not actually old
I’ll be posting about this in drama mill thread
