ITT people have been playing videogames too much and it has warped their mind

in addition to the booze, i think i might have been influenced by watching a speedrun of dragon warrrior (NES) completed in 27 minutes at Awesome Games Done Quick, using no glitches or cheats, but instead exploiting an intense understanding of the game's underlying logic for "random" encounters.

i'm definitely into the TAS scene and i find it utterly fascinating on a meta level. i don't watch much streaming speedrunners because i never know which ones of them will be awful people, and even if they're not twitch chat is awful, but multiplayer gaming has never been something i've cared about. for me it's very much player vs. game programmer. i like seeing, in a pkd sense, just how badly most of these games can be broken.

for real, you should check out that dragon warrior speed run. the way he explains it as he goes it brilliant, too.

You mean guys that act like assholes during their stream?

^literally 90% of twitch streams that have more than 100 viewers^

There's a lot of extremely popular girl streamers who have legions of trolls following them.

If you’re surprised that chat is awful you must have been born yesterday

Looks like another medieval peasant simulator but this time with magic and weird monsters is coming, hopefully not made by racists this time: https://www.pcgamer.com/outward-rpg-preview/
