Data Graham was using the dril quote to illustrate that even though they acknowledged that the chud understood that Kaepernick's protest was about the police and not Are Troops, regardless, "you do not, under any circumstances, 'gotta hand it to [the chuds]'".

For those who don't know what a Direct is, it's a prerecorded video that Nintendo puts out occasionally to announce games and stuff about already announced games.

These people are furious that Nintendo is delaying a video.


gently caress gamers.

So because Nintendo delayed a PR video, Nintendo needs to give out free games?

Do they just ask for free games for every perceived slight like an overwrought soccer player trying to get a flag?

no forum is safe, this weird angry screed was posted in our very own quake thread:

Pomp posted:

phasewalk is the most spiteful thing ever put into an arena shooter, why the gently caress is it instant, why is its only purpose outside of duel to generate blue balls, why does it have to slow duels down to a crawl? it single handedly makes every match its in worse. Does it exist to counteract all the stupid press f to get kills stuff? How many leaders at Saber saw these loving piece of poo poo skills and thought "yes, this is a thing you should definitely be able to do at least once a minute in a skill based, fast paced arena shooter." Is it the same people who give characters passives whose only purpose is the counter themselves? How did they ever get promoted above code slave? How can the low level staff tolerate working under people this clearly incompetent? Why are all the good arena shooters dead? The world sucks. I'm gonna key sponges car

I like video games, I play video games, and I used to call myself a gamer because that made sense, but now I don't because "gamer" apparently means "I have no other interests or skills do the extent of being a sociopath" so there goes one perfectly good word.

Video game marketing broke the brains of a generation. Lack of moderation for early multiplayer games broke brains. The need to tie self worth to the games you play broke brains. Having to defend against legal restrictions on games, and that coveted "Is Art" status broke brains.

Gamers are the most reactionary beings on the planet. I'm only kinda joking about that.

If clearing weeds doesn't make me a gardener then playing games doesn't make me a gamer is how I reason :v:

Same. No matter how much I try video games are my hobby of choice that I spend my money and free time on. Also... trying to make games and stuff. But I've never wanted to be completely done with a concept as gamer as much as I have had felt since Gamergate.

Yes, and all those people also tend to be people who will be insufferable about their hobby and talk to to you at length about it without prompting. Especially runners.

There's a difference between being someone who enjoys games, and being a gamer.
