Tetris is clearly Marxist art, dumb rear end, it was made in the Soviet Union.

Yeah, all those posts ignore that the articles are being written in the context of all the previous games in the series being about shock sex and violence and teenage ideas of what cool is. The new one is about fatherhood and has a more grounded story, so of course that's how the articles are framed. The contempt "gamers" have for games journalism is very tiring.

The new game relies heavily on the previous ones so ignoring them is kind of dumb and none of those articles really do anything other than lip service to them.

They were a failure because they were immensely popular with the wrong people.

Exactly. The people who grew up on Star Wars wanted adult Star Wars with more violence and mature themes and Lucas was all like, "nah nah it's a kiddie movie". I think Jar Jar being so terrible set the trilogy up for failure and people just found excuses not to like stuff from there. Like remove Jar Jar and the diner scene and maybe NOOOOOOOOOOO and the films get immensely better.

My kid loved the movies. She had a vague notion of the original Star Wars and knew that Darth Vader was a real bad guy, but didn't know his origin story. So she had genuine shock when Anakin became Darth Vader and was angry about it. Like a real emotional response. So I guess they weren't as bad as my nerd rage likes to believe they were.

It's kind of funny to see people insult the older games for being "teenage ideas of cool" for drawing inspiration, themes and tone from Greek mythology, while lauding the new one because it's about Being A Dad (And Not Murdering Your Child In Rage This Time).

INCEL -> involuntary. Meaning "you're too ugly" or "you're too stupid" or "you're too angry" or "you're too ____ (blank) where ____ (blank) is something females don't like. It's really preying on a fundamental entitlement of females: which is even if your'e an ugly, stupid, angry, ___ female, there is ALWAYS someone that will F you. That's just a fact. If a woman wants sex, regardless of those factors, she can get sex. It won't be with brad pitt but she can have it if she wants it.

One cannot say the same of males. It's the opposite. It's very difficult for males to have sex, any male really. This idea is that even if your'e brad pitt, you say one stupid thing, or do one slightly wrong thing "to turn her off" or "make her upset", and "you're in the doghouse" or "you're on the couch"

Sex is always on female terms.

So INCEL is really a term that brings that difference to the fore and hammers it home. Its actually quite mean, when you think about it. It's a kind of female-domination or "fem dom" type of S&M made public through the magic of 'social fracture' ideation and 'social fracture' creation (provocateuring)

People wouldn't hate you if you didn't try to meddle in other people's culture. Keep to yourself and the pogroms will stop. It's because you are a parasite that latches on to a civilization and exploits it's people through usury. Why do all of your elite work in law, media, and banking at a disproportionately over represented level?

Usury is the reason your people are hated. The parasitic nature of your race is your downfall. Learn a lesson from you neighbors. Plant an olive tree instead of burning one down.

I guess pattern recognition is anti Semitic.

I'm not saying the new one is better for being more "mature" or anything, just a bit different. And the older games took from Greek myth, but they were definitely aimed at 00's teens. Yeah, the myths were violent as hell and filled with sex, but the tone generally wasn't "this is all loving awesome! Now do it again but wearing a cow suit and skateboarding!"

And "be a dad while trying not to murder your child in rage" sounds like the most Homeric poo poo ever.

I'm not sure what the audience is for most those articles anymore. It just seems to be for other writers.

Maybe they're winning the "War" since I never ever hear anything good about game journalists. With the exception of people working for youtuber or maybe making content for youtuber on behalf of the publication. (I really like Here's A Thing from Eurogamer)

I've heard the phrase 'gammon-faced' referring to your typical automatically-enraged dickhead, and to David Cameron's former lover, but that's about it. It hasn't got anything to do with skin colour or age, just to the pinkness of one's cheeks when you're mad about poo poo. Or if you're David Cameron's former lover, in which case I guess that is your skin colour. And also a descriptor of your flesh.
