you're saying there is a resemblance? 🤭

pride, huh? can't say that I felt that 🙃

I agree. what's possibly gonna top this

no granny 😥😥

thank you for this comment!! loved reading it, for real. don't feel I need to add anything, just wanted to say thanks 🙃

gave it a quick glance and I'm sorry but I don't think that's my kinda game 🙃

let me tell you about the time I tried to befriend this gang of lemmings...

it really is at this point

coming from my perspective, I would say there has been an epidemic of people taking things too seriously for far too long rather than there being an epidemic of people not taking things seriously now. it's crazy to me that taking video games seriously is the norm when that norm is literally people taking a thing seriously that is a game. this goes back to stuff like monopoly where people taking it seriously were kind of the problem. same goes for like magic the gathering for me. I used to play that in groups where I was always the chaotic jokester with ludicruos decks and the people I had the least fun playing against were people that were playing decks that they did not come up with themselves with the goal to win the most consistently and possibly the fastest. I'm not saying you are wrong or you do not have a point, I'm saying that I wish people would stop wanting me to take video games seriously. They can do whatever they want but I would ask them to also let me do whatever I want as well and I don't believe that makes me extremely toxic.

@@queendopamin I just said in situations it is very toxic. It's like imagine you're playing a game that is designed to be competitive and you're queue'ing for a game mode where the assumption is that everyone playing is going to put out their best actual effort. One of your teammates is clearly not taking the experience seriously and when you inquire why they are basically trolling their response is " it's just a video game." It's just kind of like not respecting other peoples time. I guess that's more of what I'm eluding to.

@@Pizzanomicon well that's just not what I was ever talking about though e: like, of course I'm not going to places that are specifically made for people to compete and be like "uh why are you guys taking this so seriously" lmao

@@queendopamin I was in a rush so I didn't elaborate further, but I think it applies in some regards because you gotta know more or less what you're getting yourself into when you agree to do activities with other people. Like if you actively agree to do activities with other people and they do things a certain way, and/or follow metas etc, and you actively do whatever you want even though you know it doesn't align with other peoples interests, it's like what are you even doing ? Like if I was trying to play coop BG3 and someone kept trying to be like we need to X because " it's good," like I would just not be playing games with that person/people lmao. BG3 is a game , that I personally like to do as a more free form experience, with the exceptions of doing solo tactician runs, in which I do have to take it a bit more seriously. I just find it concerning when people have the 100 percent attitude of " games aren't serious," " I always do what I want no matter who I'm doing it with," and then complain when other people don't like it. I mean it sounds like you need to find people who align more with the experience you want, so you can be goofy and chaotic together. I have various friends/acquaintances who I do varying gaming activities with with different intentions. I would never troll my friends experience for my own personal entertainment and try to pretend it's anything but. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but from what I understand, that's just how I feel personally. Ultimately I think it's good to be mindful of what you're doing and who you're doing it with and respect peoples time accordingly because that's the currency of life lmao. I can also tell you with a large amount of certainty with the extreme amount of gaming I've done over the 40 years of my life, people have only become less serious about everything to do with gaming. There may be tons of content on min/maxing your experience but 80 percent of people dgaf about any of that. I'm currently playing New World again and trying to get people in dungeon finder to just run the dungeon remotely efficiently is like the most nightmarish experience I've had in recent memory. Again it goes back to people just not respecting peoples time at all. It's like if you want to slow crawl dungeons make your own custom group with people that want that experience. It's like do you know how many times a week I get called a " nerd " in a game for knowing a lot of technical shit about games. Like there is an epidemic in modern gaming of normal ass people thinking it's not nerdy to play video games and " it's just not that deep," and they don't respect peoples time. It's only gotten significantly worse in the past 10 years or so. This also alludes back to mentioning it outside the bubble of gaming with the culture of the western hemisphere and how people treat everything like it's a joke or a meme , and people can't even try to do anything serious anymore without it being trivialized by lukewarm brained normal people. Like imagine calling someone a nerd in a fantasy game and the intention was to bully xD. I know a lot of this is off topic but for whatever reason my brain thinks it feels relevant and related even if distantly.

@@Pizzanomicon idk it's fine. you do you

nop, not one bit

but I am?! 😂

I doubt it, I'm watching them 👁👁

oh yeaah also you mentioned MTG and I like that style of play too instead of Just going for the built deck, whatever it may be called

@@nosaurian sometimes a title is too good even if it's clickbatey and I can't help myself 😅 I like hanging in this vent with you guys. maybe we can make something out of it 🙂‍↕️

@@queendopamin yeeea this title is awesome and I'd Love to, I'm sure the others as well

I did and let me tell you, it's not any better than what you're doing and what I'm doing now

the what now

have I indoctrinated you yet

to be fair, I warned people about the fan a couple times before and put it up to a poll when we got there. so it'd kinda be like inviting people to watch a movie, warning them that I have this frame I really love and then when the frame happened asking everyone if they would want to stop there, right? actually this exact same thing has happened to me with cloverfield where there's hidden frames in the movie lmao but truly, I think what johnny said is true. if people want to experience bigger and better things, they should do that themselves instead of getting upset at me for not doing it. I'm just one streamer out of countless others, most of which are doing things the way you're supposed to do them. there is probably more value in me doubling down on not doing things the way you're supposed to, because there is only one person that can do things the exact way that I do them (like stacking all the garbage in a deus ex map to get back to a pointless side mission)

what i said was not specifically just about the Alien Isolation fan I agree that doing things your way may be way more interesting than completly compromising and turning into yet another let's player in a sea of let's players I think that some amount of conflict when breaking expectations is to be expected and also somewhat valid there's "always" a cocktail of trust and expectations present when doing things with/for other people challenging those in any way is naturally likely to provoque a reaction doesn't mean it shouldn't be done

@@Wafawel yeah, I guess I still just don't understand why the norm is the norm

nothing to add to that! tysm johnny. I love the positive reinforcement for being your own unique self

not very familiar with the bob 😅

a sticker? like, you mean an emote?

@queendopamin yes! sorry i meant an emote xd

@@warsimph I'm not sure if Semik makes the cut, it's not really a meme on the channel or anything 😅

@@queendopamin yeah thats fair, i just think he looks hilarius sitting like a dog

@@warsimph it's true, but I don't think semik's gender is confirmed
