Twitter is the pile of Atari E.T. games they found in a New Mexico landfill.

Sorry, Musk. But the order goes like this:
MySpace - Demon Souls, most popular precursor,aid a lot of the groundwork for the following series.
FaceBook - Dark Souls, filled with mad and hollow undead all under the maniacal fist of an uncaring madman who refuses to let the world progress
Tumblr - Bloodborne, the truth lies just behind the veneer for those who can see it, the porn is still there.
Reddit - Lies of P, about half the people who said they played it actually did. Theres so much random shit shoved in here, is that Russian architecture with an old British cop bot? Uh, gnosticism?
Instagram - its actually just the Painted World of Aramis, not a separate game. A beautifully painted, but fake, world that is degrading as time goes on
Twitter - Derelict, low-res models that attempt to look like their inspiration but not well. Developed on an existing platform that already has a shitload of users. Tries to get you to spend money unnecessarily. Is free to use.
Bonus
Lemmy - Hellpoint, faithful to the original, with some unique features. Futuristic designs still impose a feeling of dark forebodence, slay cosmic gods like flies and bring humanity to apotheoses.anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 years ago
What about train station graffiti? Or Wikipedia discussion pages? Or the linux mailing list?
You have really opened a can of worms we here.
Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Train Station Graffiti - Ghouls & Goblins, the original hard mode, get hit once and you’re done for, a true work of art (at the time)
Wikipedia Discussion Pages - Blasphemous, ancient and unknown beings wield extreme power over the common populace, theres a lot of blood and religion
Linux Mailing List - Salt and Sanctuary, an imaginary amalgamation of the real world, most people who end up here are castaways, the one with the most salt rules here
CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 2 years ago
So by this logic, twitter is a roblox game?
Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I’d say the quality matches, as well as the dark patterns. And I believe the goal of buying twitter was of a double pronged nature. Disrupt the huge enclave of leftists there and buy a platform already saturated with users, which is why you make a Roblox game in the first place. The users are already there looking to play shitty games. (Not you tho Creatures of Sonoria, I love you even if you are predatory).
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Do Friendster now
Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Friendster is King’s Field (before the gaming platform rebrand).
P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 2 years ago
I wouldn’t say it’s really that fateful, it’s pretty similar, but there’s still some differences and things missing.
Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I might be operating off of fresh vibes with that one. It was the most recent soulslike to consume me when it was on sale for like 4 dollars. Highly recommend.
boreengreen@lemm.ee 2 years ago
It’s Demon’s Souls.

Not necessarily, it could be a scripted cutscene to introduce the second act and give you time to swap disks.

Twitter is actually 1982’s classic erotic Atari 2600 game "Beat 'em and eat 'em.
There’s Vladimir Putin at the top of the building, firing his pixellated ejaculate over the side and the player controls both Elon Musk and Donald Trump, running left and right with their mouths open to collect it.

I was also delighted by the little bonus “a” in that spelling! I’ve been trying to remember to use the æ symbol in those cases though i don’t get to use it nearly as fræquently as I’d like… At least not properlæ 😉

Hahaha. Oops. That one was automatic/accidental, but I’m not going to change it :)
As mentioned above/below, perhaps it should have been wikipædia :)

The way it tries to be “anti woke” makes me think it’s probably willfully trying to be trash like this:

I feel like there’s not a single person Elon’s comparisons would make sense to
Comment105@lemm.ee 2 years ago
He’s claiming Twitter is more or less “hardcore” and requires a certain level of mental fortitude to stick with. Instagram much less so.
I don’t know how Bloodborne compares to Dark Souls, so I don’t get what he thinks the distinction is there.
JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 years ago
Bloodbourne is faster paced than Dark Souls. To me the focus on micro blogging with strict character limits would make Bloodbourne fit Twitter more than Reddit.
JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 2 years ago
He’s just listing games he knows are beloved by their fanbases, hoping to get any of those fanbase’s bigots to support him.
I’m personally offended he’d ever make those comparisons. You made the site trash Elon. Reddit is trash, and instagram is scraping artists work for their ai. You all suck. All those video games are more worthy of my attention than any if those sites.
Antqay, I’m going to go continue my yearly October playthrough of bloodborne. Fuck you Elon. I hope you get hand foot and mouth disease and can’t type for weeks.

gmtom@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Twitter is one of those shitty asset flip survival horrors.
He just paid an exhorberent amount of money for other other people’s work, gave it some basic connecting code and slapped his branding on it and ended up with a product worth less that the sum total of the assets bought to make it.
Oh and you’re constantly trying to avoid Elon and his right wing ghouls, but it just constantly spawns them in front of you and winning is basically impossible.

A heavy load mage with 30 vigor (lvl 111) and 2 shields equipped.
HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I dunno, twitter was more a stardew valley running the Joja route; but then it turned into X which was more of a Concord - so much money pumped in and so little quality.

OK, now hear me out first
Reddit is the halo of social media.
The wildness you used to get up to on the multilayer was on a new level. There was nothing like that before. On one level you were fighting back the orange hordes from the front pages, the next level you were fighting wealth hording dragons and ripping them off by playing them at their own game. On the last level they let you have freedom on, they were gearing up to try and kill a god. I mean, I don’t know how far antiwork would have gone in the end but it seemed to have been estimated far enough that action had to be taken and the threat neutralised. We might well not have killed that particular God but I reckon we could’ve given them a bloody nose all the same.
Then they parted ways with the people who actually made the game good and what you ended up with is a shite, soulless over corporatised shell of what it was before, thats little more than the skins from a game you used to enjoy transposed into one that you don’t.
Jumi@lemmy.world 2 years ago
You can put almost every AAA title in there at this point
undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Lol yeah but mine was halo…
Mammothmothman@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
Yeah im not reading any of that.
undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Of course, you do you. But, traditionally, in these situations people would just not read the comment and move on. They wouldn’t announce to everyone that they won’t be reading it because it’s a weird thing to do. I mean, could you imagin everyone writing that under every comment they didn’t read?
That would be a bit silly wouldn’t it?
Stern@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Twitter was the Final Fantasy 9 of social media, now its the Mystic Quest.
Lemmy is FF5. Reddit was 4 but now its Theatrhythm.
I will not elaborate.

X is Toki, something that only the weirdest weirdos can find any value in it but anyone with a bit of self love will immediately avoid.
Instagram is just Farmville over and over.
Reddit is Cookie Clicker, but you’re a worker in the cookie factory.
collapse_already@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
I am trying to think of a mildly entertaining game that was ruined after being purchased by a third party. Maybe Populous? Musk is definitely EA.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 years ago
The only thing I can guess what the fuck he even means by this is that it’s insanely easy to get popular on Instagram; you really just need to hit it 3 times to win.
Dasus@lemmy.world 2 years ago
InstaGram is Pokemon Snap.
Don’t be dissing Pokemon Snap like that, it was a first person photography game for N64 and it was brilliant back in 1999.
More like Pokemon Go — digital manipulation imposed on reality. False sense of community.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 years ago
Pokemon Snap is about photography. InstaGram is about photography. 🤷🏻♂️

Oh yes, that was from the times when any game that was a bit more difficult was compared to Dark Souls.
