playing games is counterproductive to understanding the state of gaming imo

Date: September 8th, 2025 3:36 PM Author: appetizing carnelian private investor in 1997 you would rent a Game from Blockbuster and if it kinda sucked then you would just grin and bear it and try to wring some fun out of it. it was all you had at that moment in time and only a few friends in your basement to whine about it with.
now there are 990000k Games in your Backlog and intellectually dishonest shitheads like cowshit will dismiss them all because of some recondite preference for a very specific kind of Japanese dynamic that hasn't been around since 1999 and every trailer for a new game has an endless comment stream of spittle-specked Nerd rage tearing it apart for every little perceived flaw, imperfection, or lack of verisimilitude. The Game is Dead a year and a half before it even releases or anyone has played it.
Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath, drown out the noise, make a nice cuppa tea and Play the Game. |

Date: September 8th, 2025 3:53 PM Author: brindle misunderstood university There have been games in the backlog since forever. There are more PS1 JRPGs than grains of sand on a beach. The thing is, the advancement of tech caused them to fall by the wayside a bit. Now that the tech has all but stopped advancing in terms of graphics/performance, games “stick” in the backlog forever since they never become truly irrelevant. And the internet doesn’t let you forget it exists. I didn’t play Chrono Trigger until like 2003. I knew it existed but it didn’t nag at me. Now it feels like the Kool aide guy is about to shotgun my door demanding I finish RDR2 or something.
Btw my backlog is mental. I don’t actually buy games and not play them. Only Consoomers do that. “Zomg steam sale!” lol all western games fall to $5 eventually. |

intellectually dishonest gamers like cowshit are a Joke who know nothing about the State of Gaming. they'll claim the Switch 2 failed when it's the best selling console of all time already. |
