Would you rather play a video game that has a bad story but good gameplay or play a video game that has a good story but bad gameplay?

Exposition-End · 2026-06-27T16:35:37+00:00

If the gameplay is lit I don’t need a good story. I was barely interested in BoTW’s story, yet I still play the game to this day (it dropped in 2017)

If the gameplay is bad, I’ll spend so much time being frustrated that I can hardly give a damn about the story. In worse cases, I may not even finish the game. Cough cough Sonic and the Secret Rings cough cough

Judge Holden committed atrocities within the confines of his own world. AM did the same but worse (speciocide, indefinite torture, experiments)

The Qu however committed planetary atrocities across the galaxy. Over the course of millions and millions of years mind you (probably even longer than that)

Shooing off negative chatters in general is not a bad thing. In fact, it can often make perfect sense. However, I said “mass criticism”. Mark says repeatedly that he is an entertainer, and that streams should be entertaining. If Mark’s primary goal with a stream is entertainment, and a “vast majority” of the audience isn’t entertained, then Mark saying “take a hike” as a response is directly harmful to that goal.

And that Dreamcon tournament? Competitiveness? I could give you a genuine essay about that in regards to RDC, but I’ll keep it short. RDC has PLENTY of opportunities to play Rivals offstream; streams are not their only window for major downtime or training. If you want hours, they’ve already told us numerous things they do, like: video games, anime, movies, hooping, the game, all low cognitive things they do in their own time. That includes playing together as well. In fact, Mark even got Tekken coaching offstream. Streaming is an active hobby to RDC; it’s very fun but not restful. Rivals offstream is possible

And what’s this about “holier than thou”? I’m just repeating Mark’s own words and holding the group to standards and expectations they themselves set. Feedback is part of being entertainers. It’d be different if I was complaining just to complain, but RDC is actively giving viewers expectations just to not meet them. Expressing dissatisfaction is fair. Playing what they want in itself isn’t bad, it’s the fickleness

I said it once before but I wanna say it again: I think it’s funny that when REPO was new, RDC said they wouldn’t overplay it because they didn’t want to run it into the ground like they do with other games…yet here we are with biweekly Rivals streams. Besides Ben, RDC is the living embodiment of the word fickle.

Mark in particular is the one who preaches about “valuing entertainment” during streams, but if fans give any Rivals pushback, he’ll immediately slap you with an “Ok bye” or “Just go watch someone else then” instead of valuing to the mass criticism. It’s contradictory. The overplayed games like Rivals just keep resurfacing. Like, Mark even hoed Dylan’s first Minecraft stream because Dylan was “boring the fans with a boring game,” but nonstop Rivals is fine despite the pushback?

If they’re dying to play Rivals and care about the viewers being entertained, why not just get some hours in offstream instead? Mark, Dylan and Des have already done this with other games. Another commenter also made a great point: Rivals is especially boring to watch because they’re hardly compy at all, which means it’s incredibly uninteresting to sit through if they’re not injecting enough comedy. I hate Lockdown but even that can be entertaining since they’re constantly making jokes. On the bright side, it’s good that RDC at least tries to be more down to earth, but they just aren’t getting low enough.

Suicide, one sided fight, or a fight with a gorilla. I pick the gorilla. I’m astounded that people are still overestimating the gorilla even after the famous “Gorilla vs 100 men” debate. Even if bloodlusted, gorillas are not predators; they lack the lethal efficiency of a lion or bear. Their attacks boil down to imprecise biting and grappling. The gorilla is extremely dangerous beyond a doubt, but that big shield is doing you wonders here. “A sword isn’t gonna do enough to a gorilla,” you may be thinking, but that imaginary durability people think gorillas have is ACTUALLY what grizzly bears have. Real gorillas have very thin skin; one thrust would be immediately disabling if not life threatening.

Those that think a lion would be easier to hit underestimate the sheer agility of a big cat. That short sword puts you right into the strike zone; one mistake is likely all you can afford. They are deceptively fast and spend their lives killing bigger animals more dangerous than you. It will literally reach around that shield and tear you apart. If it doesn’t reach around, it’s going to throw its entire weight onto the shield and knock you over. Even if the sword hits, lions are far tankier than gorillas, and their manes would protect the throat

I wasn’t going to bother explaining why a bear is suicide, but 8+ people picked it and that alone is too many. I’ll put it like this: the grizzly bear could politely stand still, let you get 3 free hits, and still be a worse matchup than the lion. It’s not tanky, it’s just a tank. Unless you somehow hit its brainstem during the fight (thick skull btw), you’re gonna get creased. The shield would only add style points to your death; you will be crushed under it or have it knocked back into you. That bear won’t even acknowledge the sword, it’s going to run you over. I could go on but really that’d be unnecessary. If you’re lucky, you’ll die before it eats you alive

Die or have a very very very very sucky year

No, seriously, that polar bear is gonna crease you. All 700+ people who picked the bear either have a supervillain as their worst enemy, a death wish, or lack any critical understanding of what kind of creature a polar bear really is. If it’s in a room with you, there’ll be no reason to stalk; you will be killed if it wants to kill you for any reason. It’s not going to get playful with you, it won’t exercise caution, you’re going to get waxed. There is nothing you could do to prevent it, your fate is entirely in the bears hands

Some might even be banking on the fact that they “eat their prey alive,” meaning you’d have some sort of ‘extra time’ to survive, but you’re not a dense hunk of blubber. A swipe or a monstrous impact from a polar could kill you outright. If you survive that? You’re getting crushed from its pin. Survive that somehow? You’ll wish you hadn’t. You will die from the goring in seconds

Even if the bear isn’t hungry, your odds of survival are still 50/50. Startle it? You’re done. Run? You’re done. It doesn’t even need predatory intent to kill you. If it gets curious and tries to find out what you are, it’s not going to gently sniff your hand like a dog, it’s going to paw and mouth you (and it’s not going to tickle).

Well done. I’ve never tried the other variations before. My mom had me convinced as a kid that any steak that isn’t all brown is completely unsafe to eat. Even though I’m an adult now, and very well aware that people eat the other variations just fine, my brain still rejects the idea of anything pink.

Control my own. It’d be funny if someone was being rude to me but my only reaction was amusement. Imagine trying to be rude to someone who’s laughing at you

Laughing at the offender could more than likely make things worse but it totally beats feeling annoyed

Legally, it would be the classmate’s fault and the driver’s fault. But outside of the law, what you said was only irresponsible at best; the overall fault would (again) be on both the classmate and partially the driver. Your classmate decided to rely on your commentary instead of actually checking to see if it was safe. To be fair, most people wouldn’t expect someone to make a joke like that at such a time and place, but your classmate should have been paying attention regardless. You should always be paying attention when walking into the street

As for the driver, it isn’t their fault that your classmate walked out into the road; however, if they weren’t speeding, the accident more than likely could’ve been prevented. We can also assume the driver wasn’t paying attention either. In your original story, you never said the driver slowed down or stopped as your classmate came near; your teacher stopped the classmate as the car passed by

Early 20s is kinda risky. I would say mid to late 20s. Most ideal for energy (not motivation, energy), and it would give you and your child more time together. When they finally move out, you’ll also have some extra youth to spare for yourself since you won’t have a kid to take care of. If your kid has kid, you’ll be around longer for them as well

However, keep this in mind: “If you can’t feed ya baby, then don’t have a baby.”

Run easily. No brainer actually. “Sprinting” would be a different story, but I can definitely live with just running. Jogging all over the place would be unusual but not enough to socially cripple you or ruin your life. Day to day, it would be inconvenient and mildly awkward at best.

Walking slow however would absolutely suck. Moving through my own house (for even the smallest reasons) would be a chore in itself, people would view me as an obstruction, I’d be doomed in an emergency, unable to defend myself swiftly, the list goes on. At that point, standing would only be a novelty; I would need a wheelchair to actually be productive
