If you put a mechanic like the blue shell in your game, you’re out for blood, man. You’re not making friends.
In a way it’s kinda good that it was a game mostly played by friends in the first games. Can you imagine if Mario Kart 8 had voice chat? The fits, the hair ripping the tirades the sounds of controllers and TV…

The whole point of Nintendo multiplayer games, specially Mario Kart, IS the constant ruthless betrayal of love and friendship

I didn’t play until 1.6
In online gaming there will always be some unpleasant people.
But i didn’t think it became generalized and normalized until maybe mists of pandaria.
There were more positive vibes then. Now it seems even fans of the game, have mostly negative experiences.

It really depends on the day. I actually kinda admire how he’s virtually impervious to the demented following he has on twitch and takes lots of mockery in stride.
He’s mellowed out a lot

*livelihood oops

Not that simple. He has this idiotic peeve about store mounts, like very disproportionate reaction to the actual thing. Like it’s a grave sin.

Anyway, he’s pretty chill since the past couple of years. He’s annoyed the game went south because it was pretty much his livelyhood, playing it.
But he knows the community is…

Sooner or later everything dies.

Let it die.

These two really look like the squeakiest cleanest dudes

Absolutely insufferable. Jesus christ.
I don’t give a flying fuck about what she feels now.

But dude really messed up when he didn’t press charges.
That was a teachable moment that this idiot needed.

Man, what a disappointment.
For years, when i was younger, my dream was to work at Blizzard. They seemed like the shining house on the hill, good pay, good benefits, great atmosphere (ALLEGEDLY back then), great talent to be around, great infrastructure and culture....

This spiraled out of control in a scale i never…

OK
atta boy.

Holy shit.

I know that, but it’s not UNCLEAR how they did it. They were executives on a rich company. The pervasive harassment culture is a fact separate from that end.

I didn’t belittle other people’s contributions. I’m aware that companies are built on the backs of workers. What i meant is that he got rich because he was on a leadership position inside a very rich company. So it’s evidently clear why a handful of guys can retire at 42 to be with their families.
They were paid a lot…

Also, it’s not immediately clear how many of them can retire at 42 to spend more time with their families.

Always noticed a creep vibe on this dude in cons and interviews.

Hey, it me!

Nostalgia is so powerful in the sense of how it warps people’s perceptions.

Because i absolutely DESPISED that game. It was SUCH hot harbage even for it’s time.

And while the Song N.2 thing was cool, this game also inflicted a lot of Chumbwamba’s Tubthumping on kids’ minds.

I’ll keep it short and sweet.

Very few things are as pathetic as the racist neckbeard military Call of Donuts cosplayer / bootlicker
