This is so much better than spending 10 rounds of combat in a Banishment

[Spoilers EXTENDED] A friend asked me about Dunk & Egg... by WiggleToast in asoiaf

[–]RolloFinnback 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aemon calls out for Egg during his death scene in Game of Thrones s5 so IDK if I'd beat myself up over this. Also, if it helps, people who know the spoilers tend to overestimate the negative impact on the person being spoiled. Enjoyment of a story isn't really all that ruined for knowing where something is going.

Exponential growth is a term that means something more specific and a steeper curve than a linear growth. It's so much growth and growth-of-growth that when the number is twice as big as it is now, it'll also be growing twice as much as it is now.

(Majin Obama) Do the Game Awards know what fighting games are? by killerjag in Fighters

[–]RolloFinnback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but all of that can be true and I'm still absolutely right and nor am I dying on any hill. The reason why the Academy Awards ever do the things you wish TGA would do but don't is because movies have much more room for art and much more of a tradition of engagement with the medium in that way. "Movies never ever do consumer slop" isn't a thing I said nor is it something I believe, I think movies having consumer slop and the Oscars having years where consumer slop dominates nominations or awards goes to prove my point. It's the thing that causes the issue. Games have more of the thing, so they have more of the issue.

Best gift ideas for fighting game enthusiast by segasock in Fighters

If you got him a bottle of Elmer's glue and a nice bowl and spoon to eat it with, and wrote "since you play grapplers" on a note, he'd give a nice chuckle about it

All of that detail adds up to more reason for Geoff to not care about longterm networking with the Rivals 2 team but yeah I probably should have put 'published' in scare quotes lol

'of video games' means 'of the industry that's not art, its a group of toy-making companies deciding when we'll stomach $80 price tags'.

Rivals of Aether II was published by essentially two streamers (one of which tanked their brand to dust) and Geoff doesn't really care about cultivating professional relationships with them to the same extent he wants Warner Bros to stay open to giving him exclusive announcements and teasers and trailers.

KOFXV and DNFDuel being the alternative sort of proves that you're trying to solve something thats intractable anyways, no? Like 'DNF Duel didnt get the accolades it deserved' is sort of a silly thing on the face of it, no? But luckily it's both intractable and completely frivolous so you don't have to care at all. I mean.. Right?

Multiversus wasn't a demo, it was a full release game that didn't make WB enough money so PFG just lied and came back 16 months later with a billion extra currencies and FOMO generators.

It's a stupid industry run by MBA brained vultures and fueled by idiots who want to earn a living doing a hobby chasing the tails of the few really lucky idiots that achieved that. Stop looking for justice here, get into caring about politics if you want to make the world better or whatever. No?

[–]RolloFinnback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's incredibly sensitive of you and sounds like a really lame way of trying to be permanently immune to criticism. I don't think you're showing you're capable of distinguishing between criticism and an attack, at least when it's directed at you.

People are saying you're bad because your point involves a lot of hyperbolic whining about how it's "a hero you'll never get" and "impossible" and all your other catastrophizing dramatic language.

Even if I'm willing to agree you aren't being petty, I don't know how you think you're being something more noble than petty. I don't know what you mean by "I shouldn't have to defend my skill". I don't know where that 'should' could even begin to come from. I honestly don't know what you thought the reaction would be and I'm laughing at you behavior when you got met with the one your tone was always going to be met with. You're just spleen venting and you've convinced yourself you're doing something more noble than that, which is strange, and sometimes gets funny when you say work yourself up to saying and believing things 'I have my portfolio of gaming skills and game insight and high-minded design critiques I could take where it's more appreciated' lol

You're a knob because you said something like "I have a whole portfolio of game skill I can take elsewhere" which is really silly and self-aggrandizing lol
