It's great that Carter got elected and he seems like a great guy in politics and in real life, but he's embarrassing himself in the way that Trump's embarrassed himself by feuding with all the celebrities and journalists he's mocked even after taking office. It shows that even given an extraordinary amount of power and responsibility, he can't rise above publicly engaging in petty Twitter bullshit with F-list celebrities because he doesn't have the personal fortitude to simply ignore them.

This is why you hire a social media manager. Even if you have nothing better to do than post and track your enemies' posts, and even if you love doing that kind of thing, you don't want people to know that.

Just that there was a rash of games with objectives like “explore this old house and read their mail.” Which they think is lame because games are about throwing a lance at a ghost and falling into a pit. They’re wrong but whatever, Will is the closest thing to a gamer and he wasn’t there to remind them that some of the best stuff in Breath of the Wild is when you’re just screwing around.

I mean, he wasn't wrong though? Like the trend of 'walk around and be sad' games with a pretty lovely little chunk of time because so many of them were just cheap emotional tricks on the level of those dumb dog movies where it's clear the dog dies at the end and no poo poo it's gonna make you sad if you're not a sociopath but that doesn't make it a good movie with anything to say inherently. It's dumb that a bunch of cultural fascists used that as an excuse to demand women and queers leave the medium but that's a different thing.

Chosen because I know Will has played it and it’s a game where you can just wander around and look at stuff. I’m not suggesting that normal play for both games looks very similar.

They didn’t, but I don’t know if you think that because you thought they were poor executions of something worth doing, or because you think all games should be fun and allow you to turn off your brain.

In my defense, I’m not sure if gripweed thinks all games should be fun. I don’t care that Amber thinks games are ghosts and goblins any more than I do about friends who think movies are the marvel movies. It’s boring, but whatever, I’m not trying to be dismissive I’ve just had this conversation before with them. I’m also probably doing a poor job because my ceiling started leaking from the rain again at 3:30 after I went to bed at 2:00 so I’m not perfectly lucid.

e: sexpig has eaten a probe so for the next 6 hours everyone has to agree that the video game equivalent of “doing your taxes for the first time since getting a divorce” belongs in the Louvre.

Maybe holding a decade-spanning grudge over the concept of a subgenre of media existing that you personally do not enjoy but other people do is far more deserving of introspection than whatever cork board you've been putting together that's the modern equivalent of calling someone gay for playing Final Fantasy.

Battlefield 3 is pretty fun though.

It also came out in 2011, but I guess you could argue it fits with all the expansions and poo poo.

Still, Felix played Fortnite on PC with a gamepad, so you know he isn’t ready for an XCOM or maybe even Dishonored

The whole are games art thing is a moot conversation because from the outset people can by their own subjectivity decide if they want to read something as art or not. So which is true? Both and neither because really art is just some garbage we project all these values onto.

Yeah Dark Souls came out the same year as Battlefield 3 so Felix proves he's a fake famer boi once again. Plus the best Battlefield was BF2142 and that came out in 2006.

Yeah but if someone plainfaced tried to say “books aren’t art, paintings aren’t art, movies aren’t art” you would be able to immediately distinguish them as a moron spouting nonsense.

the subgenre gone home belongs to is full of amazing games like return of the obra dinn, firewatch, and what became of edith finch. gone home is a straight-up bad example of the genre. it has nothing going for it. its thoroughly mediocre, the videogame equivalent of the world according to garp
e: the john irving book. never seen the movie, it might be good but i doubt it
