You sound like the guy who wears a fedora and makes hour-long videos about Weezer albums using such criticisms as "this song only has TWO CHORDS!"

Not liking things is fine but not liking things in such a reductive and intentionally dismissive way is kinda dumb.

not so much "PERFECT" as "comparable to the standard set by other games that may be regarded as a 10 out of 10"

it's a joke comparing gone home to a mario galaxy or an age of empires 2 or whatever

please stop making sense i'm trying to deflect attention away from the fact that games journalism makes pakistani goat herding clans and deep south right out of the eyes have hills families look like the gold standard of genetic diversity using lazy hyperbole

pretty sure the standard was "i really enjoyed that game and there wasnt really anything about it i disliked a whole lot. namaste"

As a reviewer, you're not only supposed to tell whether or not you personally liked a product but also factor in whether or not potential buyers would like it for the price.

Haha, yes, fedoras, congratulations on arriving at that one

I can disappear just as far up my own rear end about high-concept stories as anybody, but I can't help but feel that the current overblown hype over these "experience games" is a result of lowered expectations as long as a group you like is being finally depicted

She's legit crazy, I don't think she actually realises or cares how she comes across. Plus hard to really know how messed up you are when you have a group of people constantly fellating every word you type.

I think patreon is not a bad idea, but I really can't see an artist I'd trust enough to give money without garanteed return every month. In itself it's a good way to support artists you like but I guess it's too easy for them just to rake in the bux and not produce anything.

Coming from him, this tweet confused me. In the responses he acknowledges he's mocking the idea of the "Sarkeesian Effect" movie. Those guys do come across in their announcement video as humongous cringe worthy goobers, though, and I can't imagine their movie being anything other than amateurish and uncomfortable at best.

I agree.

Now it's time to break up the big question. Why is there nothing on Quinnspiracy posted on the main page of Something Awful dot com? I also remember that a review of Gone Home posted on the main page of Something Awful dot com was very positive.

It'd be a good idea if she actually did something. Patreon is supposed to give people money with every piece of work they do, like a video or an article. If your Patreon is set to $X per month you're basically saying "I don't really do enough work to quantify it but give me money anyway.

her entire career is pretty much just her roleplaying out what she imagines a career to be on twitter


ironically enough people have gone along with it that it's now a self-fulfilled prophecy and she's making a small salary entirely off of text posts
