sigh yes you’re the third or fourth person to make this joke. Yes I agree.
The point is that nobody calls them terrorists for doing that. Putting words or art on weapons and ammo is considered “normal” as twisted as that is. So Luigi’s doing it does not make him a terrorist.

Makes sense
- Comment on Performative Perp Walk 8 hours ago:
Don’t worry I agree lol
- Comment on Performative Perp Walk 10 hours ago:
I mean I’d agree lol but I doubt this person equates Luigi and the average American soldier painting a bomb. That’s my point
- Comment on Performative Perp Walk 10 hours ago:
American soldiers regularly painted imagery and words on the bombs and vehicles they use to kill people. Are they terrorists too?

If you entire argument hinges on such a myopic view of things then your argument is not very good. We also both know that I am not saying “literally zero people ever“ and that it is patently absurd of you to interpret my point that way. It’s dishonest and ridiculous.
You know what my actual argument is, hiding behind a flagrantly dishonest interpretation of it is not the slam dunk you think it is. Unless you are truly that ignorant and only able to read things hyper literally, in which case I apologize for expecting too much of you.

I just wanted to come back and apologize. I’ve been in a pretty shitty mood the last few days and I’ve been letting a lot of stuff get to me.I shouldn’t go online and take it out on other people and just spread that misery.
It doesn’t matter whether or not I think the word is flexible. I shouldn’t talk to people like that, I don’t know a thing about you and I just started attacking you. Again I apologize

You’re absolutely right. Indie is a murky term that people use very liberally. I’m glad we agree that being pedantic and rigid about a definition when the rest of society isn’t out of some weird need to be a contrarian online “well AKSHOOALEE”-ing folks is not only unproductive, but it kind of makes you a tool.
Have a great rest of your week

It’s already muddy dude I can’t believe we are having this debate in 2024 lmfao

Oh come on are you really going to play this game?
Do you think all “indie films” come from independent filmmakers/tiny studios with no big connections?
Do you think all “indie rock” only comes from independent bands without studio deals?

I can tell you firsthand that companies are lowering their advice and pulling away from Twitter. It is not 2015. You are not going to lose your house if you lose Twitter.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Is Being Review Bombed By Chinese Gamers After The Game Awards 4 days ago:
Fair point!
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Is Being Review Bombed By Chinese Gamers After The Game Awards 4 days ago:
“Indie” is a very nebulous term regardless of the medium. “Indie rock” is a sound now. “Indie movie” is a style/genre now. “Indie game” is definitely a style.
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 4 days ago:
also, who is being dramatic blah blah I’m a contrarian
The dude above me literally said that if you don’t lose Twitter you might lose your house. Are you being serious right now?
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Is Being Review Bombed By Chinese Gamers After The Game Awards 4 days ago:
so are you saying they don’t like the genre of indie games or that they don’t like independent studios?
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 4 days ago:
Plenty of people make plenty of money and have plenty good careers without ever making a twitter account.
Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. Twitter became worth leaving a long time ago but anyone who is still on after the changes over the last 6-9 months just doesn’t value their time enough. It’s a self-respect issue.
There are very few people/businesses/things that will fail simply because they leave twitter. And let’s also not fail to realize that if your life or livelihood depends on Twitter to succeed, you are tied to a really sick horse and one day you’re just going to fail. You better look for second option stat. But again, there are very few people who absolutely depend on Twitter in the first place.

If a core argument (your first argument at that) for “the best game made all year” is “it’s decently-made” then you’re not off to a great start.

It Takes Two won 2 years ago.

Man people in this thread really excited for a free pass to be racist towards Chinese people lol

Nah. You either do the right thing and lose a little exposure or you stick with it and accept that you’re a part of Elon Musk’s political machine.
Blue Sky is a perfectly viable alternative. Hell half the podcast I listen to now rattle off their blue sky now instead of Twitter. The seas are shifting and there is plenty to gain over there. Leave Twitter. Blue Sky is not perfect by any stretch but it’s a hell of a lot better.

Exactly you never actually commit to any sort of wager or even an imitation of financial risk.

For starters we are talking about concepts, not actually built and tested reactors
Oh so you’re saying you’re completely full of shit because you’re talking about the theoretical consequences of theoretical devices that don’t even exist yet?
- Comment on nuclear 4 days ago:
Put them in more appropriate places (not like everything has to be nuclear) and don’t act like the USSR.
Nuclear is a very valuable component of a mixed energy structure. There are absolutely use cases for it and we should not avoid it.

Flippant “it sounds truisms” are not useful for discussion and can even spread misinformation.
So please: explain your comment or stop repeating it

Let’s compare it to oil, gas, coal…
The body count and environmental damage doesn’t even compare. The bad examples are just more spectacular and singularly horrifying in the moment. It’s a perception issue.
