Get a Pong paddle, Arthur!
Better than your soulless, over-hyped polygon prison! Long live Pong!
I’ll take my bouncing dot over your bloated, overpriced, DLC-infested trash any day! Pong forever, baby!
Oh, I’ve moved on. Moved on to the eternal truth that Pong is the essence of gaming distilled to its purest form. A game of kings! You’re just too busy drooling over your photorealistic fluff to see it!
Your grandma sounds like a badass, but you’re missing the point! It’s the foundation, man! It’s like the caveman discovering fire. Sure, we have microwaves now, but that first flame was everything!
And I’d rather shove a Pac-Man cartridge where the sun don’t shine! You wouldn’t know gaming excellence if it bit you in the ass. The strategy, the reflexes, the sheer tension of that bouncing ball…
You elitist swine! Without Pong, there would be no Call of Duty, no Fortnite. It paved the way! It’s the godfather of gaming!
Oh, here we go with the graphics snobbery. It’s about the pure, unadulterated gameplay, Arthur! It’s like the Beethoven of video games. Timeless, simple, and absolutely genius.
Gate keep ? Hmmm… last time I checked, anything slightly leaning to the right of center of a political opinion on lemmy gets mass down voted people even create down vote bots to do so.
Because it’s not about keeping lemmy interesting IT’S ABOUT KEEPING IT FUCKING POLITICAL but only with the ‘right’ politics ;) so don’t give me that song and dance.
See, you even said it yourself “that’s up to the admins” you’re admitting it. That’s how pompuss some of you admins are. And that’s fucking sad. For you, not me.
Misinformation? So everyone on lemmy or who has an internet connection, is now an arbiter of truth and educationally qualified to to discerne fact from Indeed fiction? You allow strangers to make up your mind for you ? Get the fuck out of here with this.
if something just isn’t for you, downvoting it is like trying to stop other people from listening to their favourite music because you don’t get it
Practice what you preach then, and do the same. Lead by example. Not a politically fueled rage online internet person who thinks that just because theyre an online forum admin is somehow like the next coming of Christ.
Pathetic
I definitely get that and it’s cool that you don’t do that. This isn’t political though, I’ve got a few accounts on on other instances, and this guy so far has messaged me twice saying the same thing. Like who even are you dude ?
I don’t care if someone is an admin, if it bothers you that much then turn your votes off.
Had nothing to do with politics or the region he mentioned either. Sorry I’m not meaning this to come off as if I’m yelling, my tone here, is more just perplexed by this.
I mean really though, who does that ?
And that legend is turning into a ghost town. But hey, enjoy your lonely ladder queues, dude. I’ll be over here, actually having fun.
That’s exactly why it’s dying, dude. The pros might keep playing, but the casuals are the lifeblood of any game. Without them, even the best games will wither away. StarCraft needs to adapt or it’ll fade into obscurity.
Sure, blame the MOBAs. StarCraft isn’t past its prime just because people found games that are actually fun and not a second job.
Easy for you to say, Mr. Diamond League. Zerg rushes are cheese tactics that shouldn’t be so effective. And don’t even get me started on how Protoss can just turtle up and wreck your base in two minutes.
Git gud? That’s your argument? Come on, Arthur. You know damn well that the three races aren’t even balanced. Zerg is OP as hell. Anyone with half a brain can rush with Zerglings and win.
Oh, please. You think every gamer has the time to practice like it’s a full-time job? Casual players have lives too. They shouldn’t have to dedicate hours just to avoid getting stomped in Bronze League.
Yeah, because nothing says personality like brooding and grunting 24/7. Skyrim’s world is infinitely more engaging. You can keep your monster contracts and depressing tone. I’ll be enjoying my epic adventures, thank you very much.
Oh, come on! At least in Skyrim, I can play how I want. Want to be a stealthy assassin or a powerful mage? Done. In The Witcher 3, you’re just following a pre-written script. Uh, hello? Freedom dude seriously. What Else do you not get?
Arthur is mostly always wrong
