It's not a bad product and I'm not being an edgelord just because I don't want to sit and watch 60 minutes of a serialized drama. Its not a dig on any specific show its a dig on the medium in general, I just find sitting staring at a screen watching a story play out to be chronically uninteresting.

fine. but comparing breaking bad unfavorably to lost, much less to a video game twitch stream, is, like, objectively stupid. breaking bad is not 'junk' tv. it's one of the best long form american dramas committed to film.

Sometimes it makes me kind of ill to see how infantilized adults have become with the entertainment they consume, and then I remember that I like all sorts of dumb bullshit for babies too even if most of it involves guys shooting each other. Which is weird because I didn’t 10 years ago.

I think we are all becoming giant idiot babies and anyone posting in a games thread is probably just as guilty as the next guy.

People that literally freak out over new Nintendo games are loving mutants though.

Twitch is actually good if you find streamers that are funny and/or knowledgeable about the games they're playing (assuming the game that they're playing isn't dogshit). BroTeamPill is usually good for a laugh, for example. Slowbeef is also p cool because he plays weird and rare stuff that's been largely forgotten

I read everything you've said, and I don't think you're dumb or wrong, I just think you have a very short attention span. That kinda sounds like an insult, but to me it's more like "your hair is red". I kind of relate, in that for me, I care 99% about a show or movie having new ideas, and 1% about all the poo poo people ever talk about. It only ever really comes up in discussion as "world building", which is usually where it's obvious. But to me a film that I can understand is not especially great like The adjustment bureau or I <3 Huckabee's, that at least has different ideas in it than the next film, is BETTER than something like "The Wife", but I can still appreciate why the wife would get critical acclaim over the others. I think actually it's because I don't care about human drama and that's what drives 99% of movies. (I'm saying you should watch the Crank movies).

Anyway, dumb game opinion is that I feel the same about games, so anything with a gimmick is GREAT, and as such Clive Barker's Undying with it's scry mechanic and weapon / spell load out is the best fps ever made.
