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

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.

Reddit is Bloodborne

Okay this might be the comment that makes Ted Kaczinsky's manifesto take on new meaning and inspiration for me

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.

The way it tries to be "anti woke" makes me think it's probably willfully trying to be trash like this:

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

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.

Retweeting something on Twitter is like Bowsers Big Bean Burrito.

Social media I like is popular difficult game 😏

Social media I dislike is popular easy game 🤬

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.

I feel like there’s not a single person Elon’s comparisons would make sense to

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Could you elaborate on that?
