Considering the article was linked specifically as a rebuttal to the whole Beatles thing I don't think it really matters what the article actually says, cause I don't think it ever gets used except as a counterpoint to Beatles stuff, sorry for the writer lol

Edit: I guess the Beatles are the Dark Souls of music if you think about it.

We are posting on a forum created by a wife beater, that doesn't mean every conversation made on it forever will need to bring this up. Try doing that in the PYF cute bunny threads.

I don't think you really need to take on the sins of every artist you enjoy. If it actually bums you out enough that you don't want to listen then hey, you don't want to listen and that's fair enough. But people aren't being immoral by listening to the beatles.

No one said that luckily.

I was just making a shitpost you could extend to any band tbh (imagine Rock Band Smashing Pumpkins where you have to deal with the consequences of your behaviour killing a close friend, that would not be such a party game) and then decided to call Beatles, The mid cause it riled people up real good lol

Also the Beatles aren't like the Bible cause they at least wrote their own songs, and also I don't think Lowtax/Lennon is a good comparison cause I don't really hear a lot of people singing Lowtax's praises. Unless they are in which case what the gently caress.

Anyway, I think Fromsoft should make a rhythm game. It would be the hardest one ever obviously.

Lowtax cultivated the style of humor that still permeates this place, though I'm completely open to the idea that this is a bad thing.

I think the Beatles are like the coca cola of music.

If anyone said "probably most popular soft drink" you'd think, yeah, seems pretty obvious, but if anyone told you coca cola was their favourite drink you'd think they were pretty lame.

Escape Academy needed more DLC and more work at developing puzzle concepts across puzzle rooms so not everything is one and done conceptual space.

It also taught me my puzzle partner just fuckin wings it when it comes to weight balancing puzzles which is fair cause if I gotta rotate falling blocks gently caress me its random spin time.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

lol, if you define your personality by what you drink. That’s pretty shallow and silly. In fact all this snobbery is pretty silly.

The Beatles are pretty sophisticated and have some weird and interesting songs with a lot of variety, but I mean, I suppose they sure are very popular and that makes them bad like Breath of the Wild.

I was absolutely shitposting but also nah Paul was not an innocent guy. Anyway, the Beatles were important for their time but overall mid.

Also I love when people bust out the onion article because it just always strikes me "okay, we all know, don't *remind* us about horrible things, because that might taint our ability to enjoy things" which is just such a swell attitude.

As the leader of the Beatles, the buck stopped with Paul.

Pffft, they would if they didn't make easy games for babies now. The only even slightly challenging Souls like game made recently is kgame Lies of P, much like how The Beatles were eventually surpassed by kpop.

I love Ozzy and Sabbath, despite the fact that Ozzy has murdered 1 bat, 2 doves, and multiple dogs with a shotgun, and Tony Iommi beat Lita Ford. But the music is still kick rear end and important.

The idea of a place being called "Chuck's Suck & Fuck" is, first of all, a little hard to believe
Beatles are the best band of all time and it really irks some people, for reasons I dont really care about.

Lennon was an arrogant piece of poo poo, and a great songwriter, who liked to smack his women around.

He's a 5/10 guy.

They're the second best band with an album called "Let It Be", but yeah, being performatively anti-Beatles is super-weird.

Loop Hero is the epitome of a "honeymoon" game where it feels really awesome for like 4 hours and everyone runs out to sing its praises on the internet, but then you realize you've seen pretty much everything it has to offer but there's still 40+ hours of grinding to do if you actually want to clear it. Loop Hero in particular really shows how terrible the "metaprogression" element roguelites are in love with can be.

I played Slay the Spire back when it started getting a lot of hype in early access, beat it easily on my first try, and thought "well I guess that's that" and refunded it.
