People never see attack torb coming, it's what makes him dangerous. Stacking some golds with my goo. Pair him up with shield boi or gurl, shiiit, you got a stew going. 

So, seems like a good time to point to the many comments (mine included) last month that pointed out that 2-2-2 would just create its own boring meta, because that’s, like, how shit works.

Farouk’s whole deal somehow makes even less sense when you factor in that he probably got erased from existence as part of it. So he...what? He’s happy his past self is...I don’t know...alive and maybe not homicidal anymore?

Farouk got to keep his body. Charles killing him originally is what led to him hiding out in David’s mind.

Earl is in there! Good character. Though he does need a belt.

I stand by Dark Half being the worst piece of shit King ever wrote.

This whole thing is incredibly weird, even by mass shooting standards.

WHY even mention the National Dex controversy? It’s just gonna get people riled up again...

I got plenty of issues with the Epic Games store but man that is not the fucking point here. An indie developer was utterly and viciously harassed over the weekend for no good reason and all you can say is how people don’t get why you hate EGS? Fucking hell, dude. Get some god damned perspective and GROW THE FUCK UP!…

Do you consider the things that this article describes happening to be “legitimate criticism”?

I’m glad you mentioned the disingenuous “consumer” thing these people keep saying because they were never going to buy this cutesy lo-fi game about collecting dancing plants on any platform. It’s just straight up lying to make yourself look like you have a stake when in reality you have none.

Here comes the wave of lunatics who helped normalize these behaviors by framing this as an anti consumer tactic, as if Capitalism itself wasn’t just one big anti consumer scheme inside of which it is impossible for any of us to be free. But hey, might as well threaten to murder the starving underdogs if it makes you…

Pity it isn’t City of Heroes

Let’s call this what it actually is. The most vocal part of the gaming community being the douche bag dumpster fire that it is. You want to bitch and cry about how unfair the mean old epic store is fine, but targeting developers for looking out for themselves identifies you as the massive piece of shit you are.

Gamers are an incredibly embarrassing group.

Don’t disagree with anything you just said, but how do we go about “policing our own” when the label of “gamer” is so broad as to include millions of people who we likely have little in common with, other than a basic ‘interest’ in entertainment that is interactive?

God damn this exactly. They get so worked up over absolutely nothing and have proven to be exactly what the Ooblets devs described. If gamers weren’t so predictable I’d say the Ooblets devs have some precognitive abilities.

This makes me SO FREAKING ANGRY. The developers are very sweet people who quit their day jobs so that they could work very hard making something adorable and wonderful and they don’t owe their harassers a GD thing, you absolute MONSTERS.

If that's your takeaway from this news, you should definitely comment less.

“thousands if not tens of thousands of hateful, threatening messages across every possible platform nonstop” sounds appropriate to you? If there’s a “real reason” to point to, it’s gamers that, pretty much since Gamergate (or at least that highlighted it,) have felt they can bully game devs and companies into…
