I heard at some point that the pattern of hammers that the final Bowser throws out is dependent on the in-game clock (I’m assuming the number of milliseconds, which can only be a limited number of things because of refresh rate). When the player defeats Bowser, the hammers freeze in place, so they can tell by the…

Yeah. Among friends, competition can be immensely cathartic. Among friends who play fighting games, gloating and checking each other is a way to get excited about competition, make the stakes higher. It’s performative. Good friends often poke fun at each other as a demonstration of love and understanding, and that…

So there’s fun shit-talking (I’m notorious with this, even when it’s unwarranted) and there’s what OP is talking about. Part of the game for the average player--and what you’re referring to--is the fun type. But some of these serious/competitive/pro players are that bad extreme. To them it’s not just a game: it’s a…

It’s why many adults stop or scale back - because no self respecting adult would put up with the rank shithead man babies that also game.

It doesn’t have to be a part of it, but it *is* part of it. When male (and even female) players shit-talk one another, the language is remarkably gendered: competitors are called pussies, winning is often referred to as raping another player, and any number of comments are made about the sexual behavior of…

Jesus Christ, for real.

Yup! Nerd culture is full of some of the most vile, women-hating, impotent pieces of shit on Earth.

Is that Twitter critic serious? “Toxic ideaology” in your fighting scene? Really? The only toxic train of thought being presented is that crap.

It’s sadly always a polarizing topic, even in major media. Pidgezero_one hit the nail on the head, a lot of people don’t like being told they are wrong, and will write something like that off because of it.

When speaking out against sexual assault is considered “toxic” in your community, it’s time to check yourself.

Chhetri closes the piece by justifying the relevance of “Smashers Against Sexual Assault,” arguing that “Sexual assault isn’t a women’s issue, or a gaming issue, or a men’s issue. It’s a human issue. Do your part to keep our Smash scene safe.”

Theres a huge problem with your community if discussing sexual assault and consent within the community is “polarizing”

It’s a videogame around which large gatherings occur, both officially and unofficially.

I’m with it.. Mgs had wormholes.. so calling it far fetched is a stretch(even had zombies to some degree plus different dimensions if you include the monster hunter plug in peace walker) . Not “feeling the following the survival trend” but it doesnt look terrible.

But everyone is going to hate train it. To me its a…

This will be a tough challenge, citizen. On one robotic hand, people watched her streams because of the sex appeal she has, the main selling point of watching her streams, much like people enjoyed watching me get blown to pieces by small arms fire.

@ifandbut: I suspect that noting that you are pretty severely clinically depressed would probably earn me a giant "no shit, Sherlock," but at the same time, well, you are posting here. Which means at least a part of you cares enough to crave human connection. That's a good thing. It means you haven't completely…

@ifandbut: Go get some therapy.

@Hamster Poop: Geeze, way to be a jerk. ifandbut needs a wakeup call though. If that's being homeless, it sounds like it might have already happened by the time you commented.
