somebody making apparently the best 3D platformer game in a hot minute (a genre that is widely loved for a reason, mind you) is entirely plausibly game of the year

#1824

no it does when they’re supposed to be game of the year lol

#1825

well orangeandblack5 i’ll see you at the ceremony

#1826

no it really doesn’t

metaphor fucking swept jrpg circles harder than FFVII Rebirth (because it’s a better game cough) and astro bot did the same for platformer fans (which again are like everywhere because the genre has such a massive legacy that making a new, innovating, awesome one is genuinely hard af)

#1827

game of the year doesn’t need to be the most popular in your little echo chamber on tiktok or whatever

#1828

very unneccesarily rude

#1829

wasn’t intending to come off that way, my apologies

can definitely see how that sounds demeaning af I just know you’re the tiktok guy :sob:

#1830

No I know exactly how you meant it
I’m not going to engage with you with this anymore

#1831

kyo it was only meant in the way you constantly call everything I like “for old people”

light ribbing at a small age difference with no genuine attempt to be malicious or insulting behind it

I’m sorry it didn’t land but I would ask that you look at the number of times you’ve thrown the same kind of thing at me in the other direction before you get genuinely upset with me here

#1833

i think i want a beef wellington

#1834

I don’t think you meant it horribly
I think you got frustrated that my opinion was what you perceived to be very misinformed and you posted a more charged than ideal message which you have proceeded to claim you didn’t mean to be charged when it very clearly was charged

Referring to something being “for old people” is a very common saying/trope that everyone knows is based upon generational differences rather than the actual underlying topic
What you’ve said is largely different because “echo chamber” has very negative connotations and in combination with your reference to tiktok it’s demeaning

#1835

also there’s a key difference in that I actually use tiktok, and that you’re not actually old

regardless my point in general is just that just because something isn’t popular in your specific circles doesn’t mean it can’t be game of the year

I’d buy this if any of the nominations had been big enough to hit the mainstream big time, but none were

No you don’t understand if we don’t have beef we won’t get any drama mill content
(I’m not actually upset, it was only bad enough to make me want to stop talking to orange)
