“I don’t understand these guys. They’re not following the objective. It’s like they’re not even playing the game.”
“Oh they are playing a game, just not the one you’re playing. They’re playing a game where the goal is to piss you off.”
“WELL THEY’RE REALLY FUCKIN’ GOOD AT IT!”
I think it’s simpler than that. They suck at the game and can’t accept it.
What’s this from? O:
Penny-Arcade. Couldn’t find the specific strip it was from with just the joke, though. :/
5d tic tac toe with multiversal time travel
Who would win? Stick man vs. Squiggly man with updated game rules for casuals
Ever since Games for Windows Live went down Lost Planet 3’s multiplayer has been bricked. I know nobody cares but me but dangit Sony please fix it!
The fact that using different symbols and colors are legal moves implies that this isn’t simply tic-tac-toe afterall
Tic-Tac-Tryhard
Anarchy Tic-Tac-Toe.
And on the other side I’ve been ddosed multiple times for trying to start a casual conversation in CSGO deathmatch lobbies.
Don’t forget the “sweaty” slur also. Like, JFC, I am trying to show you how to win. I swear it’s like a Russian psyop or something.
Ivan, I say clever new phrase in American game chat. I make giving effort sound not cool to impressionable young men. They fall for it. We destroy America soon, comrade.
I don’t get it and yet it’s funny?
It’s tic-tac-toe-two
Tic-tac toe blitz
Tic-tac-toe Saga

What’s the point of playing a dead game like tictactoe? Queue times are forever, no battle pass, no microtranactions, no community, no hotas support. Clearly the only winning move is not to play.

Also it’s not had an update in god knows how long, and it’s fairly unbalanced.

I think people who are bored with the game are just playing it wrong. Imo, if we take into account the potential for user created cosmetic skins, it’s better viewed as a kind of creative sandbox. I’m running a stars and squares theme at the moment that looks so good, but I’ve rarely seen anyone else use them.
I feel like comments like this are completely missing the point of the game — the metagame is what turned so many players away, and that’s probably for the best, because we want people who are in it for the love of the game, not just winning. It’s why reskins are great, because it forces me to view the game in a whole new light without having to sacrifice any of the core gameplay that I love.

Doesn’t the player who goes first always win anyway?

Wouldn’t know, i gave up on the game a long time ago. Haven’t kept up with the latest meta.
