why "flip back and forth"? it make perfect sense kids are too young to play video-games, and adults are too old to play them. clearly video-games should be played by absolutely no-one, it's meant to be a hobby you don't engage with. kinda like peoples who collects vynyles to never listen to them. the way you're meant to engage with video-games, is to buy a shitton of them on steam during sales, and never ever play them. you're supposed to take a look at your steam-page, gaze upon the hundreds of vidyas you own, sigh and then say "damn... i got nothing to play". that's how you're meant to enjoy video-games.

"The PictoChat Killer" The movie opens with a group of friends, who are all avid gamers, excitedly discussing the upcoming release of the latest console. As they chat, one of them mentions a strange message they received on their Nintendo DS through the built-in messaging program, PictoChat. The message is from an unknown user and simply says "I'm watching you." The group brushes it off as a prank and continues their discussion. However, as the days pass, the messages become more and more sinister and specific, mentioning the friends' names and daily routines. The friends start to realize that whoever is sending these messages is somehow watching them and knows their every move. As the friends try to uncover the identity of the person behind the messages, they begin to suspect each other and their relationships start to unravel. Meanwhile, the messages become more and more violent and the friends start to fear for their lives. As the tension builds, the friends start to disappear one by one and the remaining ones find evidence that the killer is among them, using PictoChat to communicate and manipulate them. In the climactic scene, the remaining friends finally figure out who the killer is and confront them. But it's too late, as the killer has already set in motion a deadly plan to kill them all. As the friends desperately try to escape, the killer taunts them through PictoChat, sending messages of their impending doom. In the end, only a few of the friends survive the night, but they are forever haunted by the memory of the PictoChat Killer.

But who wouldn't want a plaque? People with self-loathing issues! Now, low self-esteem is a problem I don't have, but I do have anger issues. And so does Donald Duck, known for being a terrible healer in the Kingdom Hearts series! And he's the only character to ever use Zettaflare unassisted in any Square-Enix game. Zettaflare is basically if a laser was a nuke. And when have nukes been a problem? Since World War II, a war associated with the political party that ran Germany at the time! But Germany is now one of the most openly-hostile countries to that party's beliefs, so who can we blame for those beliefs making a resurgence? Perchance. Ergo, Twitter debates cause Charlie Chaplin to grow stronger. Someday, he may even win a plaque for unleashing a spell beyond Zettaflare and freeing us from the tyranny of the Moon!

[@nananamamana3591]

People sleep on our Dorito Pope, but he has, unironically, been one of, if not definitively, the most vocal advocates for gaming as more than just this thing for children and geeks. He has *never* entertained any sort of disparaging of it, even from members WITHIN the community -- there's this great encounter between him and Angry Joe at a VGA where Joe tries to apply "funny meme haha call of duty, more like, call od DOODY amiright Mr. Mountain Dew Dorito guy? Haaaa!" logic to an interview and Keighley no-sells the whole thing. It's like, Joe wanted to break the ice with a joke, which would have diminished the view of gaming, and so Geoff just demolishes him by taking the entire encounter as seriously as he does this interview with this professional psychologist. Sure, it's led to some obnoxious things. Like how ya boy Geoff tends to only get very *photogenic* people to be advocates with him, and tends to shoo away the average "gamer". It's led to a lot of Gaming "Journalism" being an insular space where everyone knows everyone else and either you're "In" or youre not, and it's led to the VGAs being kinda cringy at times as they disproportionately favor the most broadly appealing games over the truly great games (sometimes there's overlap, not always). But, it's also led to *GAMING* being recognized as the largest emergent entertainment industry on the planet. It's led to games being officially recognized as _ART._ It's helped bleed out the stigma of video games being just for children and basement dwellers, and to direct it more specifically at our main man Geoff? It's led to the VGAS pulling more ratings than the Oscars, routinely, for the past 8 years. Geoff get's memed on because he's mainstream.

When I was a kid in the 90s, I remember seeing a magazine that said "a new videogame lets you chainsaw babies." I kept reading to see which game they were talking about, and lo and behold it was Zombies Ate My Neighbors, which I already owned. I had to think for a while what the hell they were referring to, and then I realized that they were talking about the NPCs, which were just little sprites that gave bonus points if you touched, but would "die" if you hit them with *any* weapon in the game, causing a cute little ghost animation to appear and costing you some number of points. So given that there was an NPC which had a baby carriage, and there was a chainsaw weapon, technically yes, you *could* "chainsaw babies," but that description is mind-numbingly misleading. Thirty years later and the mainstream media is still shilling the same distorted nonsense... Correction: It was an enemy who had the chainsaw, and if they touched an NPC it triggered the ghost animation. No significant difference really.

This type of stuff reminds me of when friends and I started a D&D group at school. We had what was called "Commens Groups," where peers could start groups at the last period of the day. We chose this, and the school granted it. And all was good. Fast forward about a month, the whole school had a presentation to go to where a pastor came in and told everyone there how playing games like this were gateways. Gateways to Satan and damnation. You know, for the 12 of us in the group. But furthermore, he went on to attack harmful music like Van Halen, I wish I was kidding. Long story short we had a group of 12. The pastor said it was bad. More people joined the group. And then they shut commons down. And many of the people in that group became lifelong friends. Thanks, Pastor.

[@magolor152]

Sounds less like God told him to say any of that and more like the pastor was offended by something HE didn't understand and used God to justify HIS lack of understanding on certain things which is ironically not something a Christian let alone a pastor should be doing as it's straight up a deadly sin to use God's name like from what I understand What I'm saying is that pastor is not only out of touch with youth, but is essentially a massive hypocrite for doing that

That's the guy who got in a bad skiing accident in hs and spent his recovery playing vidya and ended up getting into Halo despite his parents disapproving (they were religious) They then took his copy of Halo and put it in the father's gun safe to punish him for bringing it into their home.
