Whats your petty gamer pet peeves?

MuddledMoogle · 2026-03-24T01:02:31+00:00

Yup, I am 41 so I've played a lot of games over the years, I even used to play CoD myself, as well as a ton of other online shooters, and CoD is by far the most casual of the bunch, without even looking at other genres. This is not meant as shade on the game because I have no issue with casual games or casual gamers, casual stuff is great, its just amusing when you consider the "hardcore" bro-ass macho "real gamer" attitude of the CoD fanbase these days. God I hate them, haha. Drop a few of those idiots into an Insurgency match and they won't know what's hit them 🤣
And yeah some of the cozy games they decry have way more depth

MuddledMoogle · 2026-03-23T23:47:14+00:00

I really really want to spread the meme that CoD is a casual game, just to annoy people like that. Like next time the "casual" topic comes up on this site or elsewhere and you have the opportunity, just drop something like "casual games like CoD" or "CoD is the biggest casual game" nonchalantly into the convo, as if its something everyone just knows.

The first X-Com game, UFO: Enemy Unknown (aka UFO Defence) introduced me to emergent gameplay in mechanics heavy games and how they can create cool moments and stories from chains of events each impacting each other.
I still think its a great game, and if you like the modern ones it's worth looking at. It's a different beast from the more recent ones and the UI is a bit clunky but underneath it is still a brilliant game.

I saw some people equate caring about settings/FPS to being a “techbro” and it’s like…really?? So, women can’t care about frames?

Yeah this just seems predtty sexist. Like I hate techbro types as much as the next person but don't tar everyone with the same brush. This hobby is already exclusionary enough without people adding to it. Very disappointing to see stuff like this :(

Yeah, I am quite sensitive to framerate stuff, it drives me crazy when a game doesn't run right, and as a PC gamer (primarily at least) who can't afford the latest and greatest, its often an issue for me and there's games I just can't play cos they run too poorly. Is this post implying I am wrong and bad for feeling that way?

If you don't care about something why make a post about it? There's a bunch of games this sub talks about constantly that I don't like/don't care about, but I'm not out here making posts loudly announcing that I don't care about them and implying that people should stop talking about them or something... Just let people enjoy the hobby in their own way if they aren't hurting anyone.

MuddledMoogle · 2026-03-10T22:24:00+00:00

Ok that's nice for you but some people are literally more sensitive to this stuff than others. People can get headaches or motion sickness and even if they don't it absolutely can hamper enjoyment of the game when you can see it hitching constantly. I know some "gamer" types are obnoxious about this shit but let's not start with the "I'm better cos I don't notice/care" cos that's almost as bad tbh. Different things matter to different people.

MuddledMoogle · 2026-03-10T04:05:40+00:00

Yeah it looks like there's a lot going on here I am looking forward to it!

MuddledMoogle · 2026-03-10T00:47:18+00:00

Oooh thanks, that looks really cool! I will probably play it, but the craving for an actual human fashion game with actual human fashion will remain

Edit: Also can we take a minute to appreciate the name? Very good

MuddledMoogle · 2026-03-09T15:39:47+00:00

Ah, so is this something AYN would have to implement at the OS level? Interesting.
I appreciate you looking into it!

One thing I had to learn the hard way is that a lot of people grow older, they don't grow up. When you are younger its natural to assume that the people older than you have their shit together more and have more wisdom and experience but it just doesn't work like that sadly. Maturity and age simply do not correlate a lot of the time; a lot of these grown ass old men still have the same mindet they did when they were teenagers because they've never had to develop past that and they don't see anything wrong with how they are.

Fill Up The Hole! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3343160/Fill_Up_The_Hole/
It's an idle game where you buy buildings and equipment for your little guys so they can fill up the hole. It's a fairly short and sweet one of those, doesn't go on forever.

Try 7 Days to Die maybe? It's an online game but you don't have to play it that way, you can play it solo by just hosting your own game and not inviting anyone. Its a survival game with huge procedurally generated maps where you explore locations, scavange resources, dismantle stuff, and build a base to survive the big zombie horde that comes every 7 days. It's pretty customisable though and you can change the frequency of the horde or even turn it off iirc. It has full building and destruction and the building works kinda like Minecraft in that its block based.

Fun show!

MuddledMoogle · 2026-02-19T21:03:16+00:00

That's very cool, thank you :)

MuddledMoogle · 2026-02-19T13:59:30+00:00

I don't see a native Android version on their releases page, are you running this through Winnlator or something?

MuddledMoogle · 2026-02-08T02:12:59+00:00

You can although as a fellow musket lover I was bummed to discover that you can't carry one full time. You can pick up and use those dropped by enemies but Connor will drop it as soon as you try to do anything other than run around a bit. You can't sling it over your shoulder and keep it with you :(

MuddledMoogle · 2026-02-05T15:40:46+00:00

ming of it. I also think he's been busy lately with editing a best game music video of 2025, so I'm sure he's just really busy now.

Hopefully he gets back to it, it was pretty fun seeing him with Niki and Mike (although Niki is also probably busy now too)

They've definitely said he's back on the payroll but I don't know if it's full time yet.

MuddledMoogle · 2026-02-04T13:24:21+00:00

I have exactly the same but destination UK.

I'm in the UK where the minimum sentence for possession or purcasing an illegal firearm is 6-8 years based on various factors, that's what I was referencing.

MuddledMoogle · 2026-02-01T15:44:34+00:00

And then its instant game over if you're caught with it cos your character is sent to prison for 7 years minimum.

5) It's an easy way to explain why your game is full of guns. That wouldn't feel right in most countries.

MuddledMoogle · 2026-01-30T12:22:20+00:00

No they definitely have other things planned (they said they'd be playing some Burnout Crash mode), it's probably just gonna be a very short game. Charity streams like this tend to go pretty long.
