I've been passively boycotting AAA games for years now because they all suck* and I don't want to play them anyway

*Exceptions may apply

MilkLover ,

Closest one I've found to a AAA studio that doesn't suck is Techland. Dying Light 2 was a very underwhelming release, but at least they've mostly fixed the game and are still updating it and listening to the community.

The outdoors is pay to win trash anyway.

TheAnonymouseJoker ,

Reddit gamers invaded Lemmy. Its over. The brainrot has arrived in trucks and freightliners.

MonkderZweite ,

AAA games only on sale and from DRM-free sources.

kat_angstrom ,

Op, are you trying to imply that only peasants wash their hands after using the bathroom? I'm so confused.

hexortor , (edited )

These are all very normal things. The joke is that console gamers are normal people, whereas pc gamers are a bunch of hardcore nerds who never wash themselves, never leave home, don't have a job and don't know how to interact with women

Zozano ,

I don't get the toilet paper one. Is the joke PC gamers never have any, or that they are fully stocked?

In either case, what's the significance?

Corkyskog ,

PC gamers don't plan ahead and use the towel on the floor to wipe when they run out.

Zozano ,

Wait. You're telling me people don't have a backup floor towel?

moody ,

Isn't that what socks are for?

Zozano ,

Don't be gross. I'm not going to mix up my cum sock and shit towel

That implies that I’m interrupting my gaming session to go to the bathroom instead of just using my gaming diaper

Zozano ,

Get a load of this guy; not using the throne of victory.

The absolute state of irony these days

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT ,

It's funny because I always heard that the rich preferred perfumes over bathing, and looked down on peasants for their bathing, especially public baths.

No source. It's just what I heard. Even if it's true, who knows what era and people it applied to.

towerful ,

Peak life gameplay is getting the 1-shake RNG and hitting the handwash-skip

WhiteHawk ,

What is this, 2012? Grow up, OP.

Okay, what do social dynamics and personal hygiene have to do with console players and triple-A games?

The_Vampire ,

Yeah, the title of this post, the meme's upper text, and the rest are all at odds and I'm just confused as to what OP is going for.

Is the point that consoles are the AAA industry and services normal people with normal needs? How does this mean we should boycott it?

Are we being tongue-in-cheek? Are we not supposed to boycott the AAA industry?

Why does this meme single out 'console peasants' as normal people? Is normal bad? Is irregular bad? Is PC bad? But PC gamers also care about gameplay and are regular people? How much sarcasm is supposed to be here?

OP, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

Norodix ,

But but but... Consoles are the AAA industry. Indies have a chance because of PC gaming.

@umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

and nowadays im siding with the indies.

triple A has been pretty dissapointing lately.

UlfKirsten ,

Lol, yeah. Lately.

arudesalad ,

But what about AAAA?

What do you mean? We already have them. For example, Dark Souls makes me go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA all the time.

SkyezOpen ,

I think someone probably made a possum simulator.

the year is 2050
you are in a stadium
a man walks up on stage.
he yells at the top of his lungs for 30 minutes straight
the crowd goes wild
suddenly the lights go out
the lights come back on slowly
you see "The elder scrolls V: Skyrim"
The first AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...A game
Todd Howard has done it again

Honestly the XBLA (Xbox live arcade) kicked off a lot of indie games, that was short lived though it differently has the best chance on PC

Quetzalcutlass ,

The best thing to come out of Microsoft's push into the indie space was XNA, which even now stands as one of the best game development frameworks of all time. It's a shame they murdered it in its crib.

(I know Monogame/FNA exist, but I'll always wonder where the project could have gone with Microsoft-level funding)
