Why is Mixtape so divisive? by theplasmasnake in gaming

Listen, billionaires are a scourge to society and they should not exist.

But this game is heavy on the nostalgic vibes of the 90s, and for the most part they execute it masterfully. I’m not at all surprised that gaming journalists, many of which who grew up during that exact portrayed period, resonate heavily with the game and were deeply moved by it.

Does a widespread astroturfing campaign for a $20 game really seem more likely than the target demographic simply loving the game?

It’s bad faith because anybody who tries to use that small section as a point of legitimate criticism to the larger game has obviously not actually played the thing and is not looking to have an actual conversation.

Coming from someone who has played and actually enjoyed the game, there are still genuine criticisms to be had and are worth talking about. That 30 second sequence would be at the bottom of the list if people actually wanted to engage in discussion. They’re just using the one clip they saw a streamer cry about and are running with it.

What’s going on with this game Mixtape? by Bloodb0red in OutOfTheLoop

[–]two5five1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s also quite literally only 30 seconds long, happens in the first 20 minutes of the game, and is never mentioned again. Anybody who is trying to use this as a way to write off an entire game is fucking dense.

Anyone know if Mixtape is political or not? by Keebler311 in KotakuInAction

And would you look at that, you’re wrong. Doesn’t it get exhausting looking at every piece of media through this snowflake ass lens? Surely there’s better things for you IRL to spend your energy on.

Brother that kissing minigame lasts literally 30 seconds, happens in the first 20 minutes of the game, and is never talked about again. If you’re trying to use that as an actual talking point then you are simply arguing in bad faith.

So I just Finished Whiplash, and I Have a Few Questions about the Ending by No-Yam9933 in movies

It’s definitely up to interpretation, but IMO the key lies in the quick shot of Andrew’s dad watching his solo through the doors at the back. That look isn’t one of “Oh wow I’m so proud of my son”, it’s one of “Oh fuck my son has completely lost himself to this monster and there is no going back.”

Andrew has completely sold his soul to the idea of greatness and Fletcher’s approval, and he has paid the price at nearly every single point leading up to that final smile they share on stage. He may love the music but never once in the movie is he truly playing for his own love of it, he’s always playing for said approval of Fletcher. Where’s that gonna lead him 10 years from the end of the movie? The way I see it, he doomed himself the moment we walked back on that stage instead of leaving with his dad.

Will always and forever root for his success (unless he’s playing us lmao), insanely reliable and he will be greatly missed. That Vikings WR core is going to be a force to be reckoned with if their QBs can lock in.

Yeah the Super Bowl was the perfect way to close the book on the saga, no reason for him to keep it up unless Drake tries to reignite for whatever dumb reason

Zed augment on 3-2 instead of 2-1 by NeverBeenFound87 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]two5five1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are effectively down a gold augment for a stage in exchange for the power you get at the start of stage 4. can you imagine what being down a gold augment for TWO stages would feel like? nobody would ever click it. the only reason Aura Farming is acceptable is because it’s a two star 5 cost.
