I believe that blackpantslegion is SomethingAwful allumni (at least j4g) therefore I will not go jihad against trad games. But lmao it's full of crazies. Magic The Gathering thread was a TOXIC hive that should have gotten the Blizlols treatment.

Oh really? Cool, that one guy makes chill videos and one of these days I'll sit down and let him redpill me on Battletech lore

I am sure that, following the trajectory of every mockthread, they got wound up into a hyperbolic tizzy over everything and if someone said they were going overboard they were accused of being a blizzard-loving chud

The thing is that it didn't run out of terrible things to hate. New mock worthy release came out one after another. But doing that for so long fried brains. There was a hypocritical paypig vibe because people went to the thread to hear about the games they hate while having WoW on the second monitor.

At some point you need to stop playing the game or else the mocking just becomes sad. They never stopped

long lived mock threads always find a way to run the content well dry even if the content itself doesnt run out...its a sort of reverse miracle

Yeah, exactly. Like I had grievances with D3, Hearthstone, and Classic WoW. Everyone should have. So I just didn't buy Diablo Immortal or D4.

I remember seeing folks have strong takes on Diablo 4 patch notes and at that point it's like, whining about stuff that only matters if you're super into the game.

I saw quite a few people bitching nonstop about D4 pre-release and then immediately shifted to talking about playing the game once it was out

yea, I remember seeing someone brag about how they had over 100 hours in the game just so that they could properly talk about how bad the game is (definitely an excuse, they were loving every minute of it)

I'm a normal gamer so I bought D4 at launch to play with some friends. Had a decent time of it, will return to it someday when they've made it better just like how D3 became so much better a year or two after launch.

agreed. it's one thing if it's not immediately apparent but a bunch of folks were definitely going into it convinced it'd be the worst thing ever.

This was a big thing in WoW, the power levels got so ridiculous over the expansions till about Warlords of Draenor where they had to squish all the stats because the numbers were getting comically huge. A lot of people got mad when it happened
