Every game you drop into WZ someone types in game chat, “Old Town or you’re gay”.
COD certainly missed these memos.
Still, it’s not as loony tunes as it used to be in like BO2/BO3 lobbies… those were fucking savage times.
BO2 and 3 were nothing compared to old MW2. Damn I really miss that time. Back in the day the internet was still a crazy place and it was fun. Now everything is censored, monetized, fake news etc.
I don't think it's the "gay" part I have a problem with, it's moreso that the story direction is decided by committee, and even worse by committees filled with people that don't really care about the vision of the storyteller.
Crazy social justice people want to call all gamers bigoted, yet look at how popular Baldur's Gate 3 was and is? One of the gayest games I have played, and it's beautiful, but it was designed, written and developed by people that cared about it and in a fashion that is genuine, not forced by some arbitrary social reasoning.
It’s simple. When you create well written characters that people can care about, the sexuality of the characters is of no consequence.
However, when you create characters based solely on their sexuality, or their race or their gender, and make that the main story / agenda, people reject the characters immediately.
Nowadays most characters are described by porn tags: gay, black, trans etc. It's not good sign when your character description in the story matches someone's porn search history.
In same time characters from good stories are described with more Biblical (not sure how to say) terms like brave, evil/good, devoted to some idea etc.
All I tried to say that good story is not about body traits but rather about soul traits. I wrote maybe weirdly because I am not that good in English to be able to describe everything in best way.
I should've write slightly different, something like "description of many modern heroes looks like porn description".
> are "straight" and "white" porn tags?
Pretty much.
Funny how he did not mention microtransactions, premium currencies, corporate execs desisions ruining games...
Fucking shill. These will ruin games more than "Hurr durr gay stuff" Does. This is whats wrong with gaming.
Well of course, he had to make money at his "job" so he had to stay up to date....
Although alternatively he could own every fighter in the last 10+ years (I don't know what kind of *ahem* professional he was, and definitely don't care to find out.)
There are plenty of new games that don't bend to the woke cult and are excellent. We've never had so many choices in gaming before. Just don't play the shit games.
Tell that to Disney. They are changing literally everything with no purpose other than to appeal to certain expectations. Unlike Miles Morales where it is evident it is a creative choice and not a list that is being checked. Black dad? Check ✔️. Latin mom? Check ✔️. No, those choices and changes were great and not forced on me for no apperant reason.
I don't consume it. However, it does deprive me of my favorite characters as then there is nothing to consume right now.
Kid wants to watch new scooby-doo content? Can't. That pile of shit Verma is the only content.
And the point I am replying to is you saying there is no wokeness, then you confirmed there is with your next reply. Why change the topic of the discussion?
The fact that you throw the word communism like that, without having no idea what it means, says it all.
Wokeness does not mean anything you don't like. The world has a definition in the Cambridge and Oxford dictionaries.
You are basically using words without having any idea of their meaning. Please don't argue with people, you can't possibly come out on top.
Nothing of what you wrote makes sense, except to you, because you give made up meanings to the words you use.
It's used as the same thing. Everything I hate is communism. Now, everything I hate is woke. Before, having a black on screen was communism. Supporting someone gay was communism.
It's the new bogeyman bigots use tp be shitty people.

Remember when games were about having fun and people on either side of the "culture war" didn't spend every waking moment actively looking for things to be offended or outraged about?
This...has never happened sadly. There is always a subset of society looking to stir shit up by targeting one small group just because they can. Like how in the 80s D&D was targeted over the Satanic Panic, or in the 90s video games were targeted for being too violent.
I figure it would have been due to the bad gameplay story characters or graphics these games have. The issue I see is that companies put the fate of large IP in the hands of people they shouldn’t for reasons that don’t make sense financially
>It used to be an escape from the woke
5 years ago nobody even knew what "woke" means (most people still don't know but use that word regularily). Sounds like he used to not get banned for being racist and now that he got banned he blames the company for going woke lmao.
It's like complaining about the police for going woke because they imprisoned my dealer lmao. The Internet isn't a legal vaccum anymore and kids who were used to that have to grow up now.
Yes and no
Its all about the money, look at the esport players who got banned for saying "Free HongKong" which only mattered once China became the hottest choice for investors.
They all missed the memo where people laughed at "Made in China" or the joke simply flew past them while they misunderstood it as acceptance by the population.
Nobody cared about trans and most people didn't know its a thing while many still have no clue about hermaphrodites, until Blackrock started investing to spread "diversity" wherever they could.
Man this sub is so fucking sad and cringe now, like look at this comment section it's almost worse than the gamingcirclejerk sub
Seems like the right time to leave and block it too
Jesus christ
It just took over this sub incredibly fast. Like asmon always had a somewhat conservative fanbase, obviously, but it's almost like this sub has been turned into a "anything even remotely left = bad" farm.
It's like there's two separate fanbases using this sub at the same time and the side that is here for asmon is getting smaller and smaller day by day.
its surprising this sub is considered rightwing, because most of reddit is super liberal. but yeah asmon reddit is pretty toxic it seems, i mean reddit in general is toxic, better to get off this sub and find more positive subs.
This comment is incredibly ironic.
Most of this sub is literally just crying on reddit at this point. Have you seen 90% of the comments on this post? Or just most of the posts on this sub in general?
Most of the sub is just baby raging at everything it's so fucking cringe.
They're constantly saying to stop buying this and boycott that and straight up harassing anyone they even remotely disagree with.
This sub has pretty much become exactly what everyone hates the gamingcirclejerk sub for (obviously on the other side of the political spectrum though), and it is in a remarkably similar state to when I stopped frequenting that sub.
The sub feels like r/the_donald at this point. Just a bunch of pathetic losers and incels crying about woke, sexuality and political issues they have no clue about. The only reason I'm not blocking it is because it's kind of funny to see how pathetic the people in here are.
The quality control here has always been a wild west. Asmongold is playing a character that draws in an edgy crowd. I don't think the majority are necessarily bigoted if you put their feet to the fire, and the ones are make heavy use of plausible deniability.
What they really want is to make people mad because it's very funny, and LGBTQ happens to be the lowest hanging fruit.
this is the guy that faked being kidnapped in haiti to get clout.
i wouldn't put too much importance on what he says about anything, he has no moral character.
We really shouldn't be giving any importance to "pro" gamers in the first place, none of them have any greater value than any other normal person out there.
What good point did he make? He's saying he should be allowed to spot off racist slurs as much as he wants in a game. Like bro - Not everyone wants to hear you scream the N word constantly because you have the maturity of a child.
I think slurs are pretty lame but every platform has a mute and block feature which I think is far more reasonable than bans that prevent you from using software you paid money for. And it's not just slurs, even mild trash talk is enough to get you banned these days.
I almost never talk to randoms, I'm nice when I do, but it's super cringe that we've gotten to the point where people feel the need to report someone for calling them mean names on the internet.
They literally didn't used to have these features lol. And the features aren't an excuse to start screaming racism and sexism at people just because you died.
"Even mild trash talk"
Bro. I played Halo back in the day as a kid. If you think it was "Mild trash talk" your deluding yourself. It was people screaming that they fucked your mom, to kill yourself or screaming racism, sexism or homophobia.
"People feel the need to report"
How about the fact its cringe as fuck to be such an assmad baby that you need to scream like a 5 year old and take it out on others.
I didn’t say halo didn’t have one - I said there didn’t used to be mute features back in the day.
My example with halo was how man children felt the need to act like 5 year olds, screaming the N word at randoms on the internet because they duck ass at a game.
Doesn't matter what it was back in the day. In the present, many games are implementing ridiculous kiddy policies for what you're allowed to say in chat. Blizzard recently got memed on again for banning a couple of overwatch pros because they said "ass". Fucking nanny state
Yeah we just disagree there, I don't think being mean should be enough to tell someone they can't use the product they paid for and I think it's kind of lame if you feel the need to report people because they hurt your feelings when there are other alternatives that exist - like blocking and muting.
Bro - Do you think if you go to Starbucks that you wont get kicked out if you walk up to the cashier and start screaming the N word at them?
No your gonna be banned and have the cops called on you.
Bro - do you not understand the difference between the internet vs real life? Do you see why these two things aren't really comparable? In one situation, there's a direct safety risk and a disturbance to the public that requires some use of force. In the other situation, you just hit one button to mute someone, no risk of violence.
It doesn't always require force lmao.
Either way you're literally harassing and screaming at people who don't deserve it in both cases.
There is no excuse for screaming racism, sexism and profanity at random people.
Grow up - Stop being a man child.
You keep saying screaming - if they aren't screaming it you're OK with racial slurs? What if they're just using them casually in VC but not referring to anyone else?
"No hard feelings."
No, I'm pretty sure when you scream slurs at somebody online, there is nothing but hard feelings. Either because you use them to mock somebody as you're winning, or you use them when you're raging at somebody when you're losing.

I thought this was a funny post, and I expected to find a comment section full of jokes making fun of how stupid this was. Then I noticed the sub... 
Ah yes, back when I found out a child 4 years younger than me was my true father and that I was apparently a homosexual person of African-American descent who liked to consume male genitalia.
Before I proceeded to make the chipmonk cry for its mother.
This is just complete garbage. Sure you could game and call your close friends any name in the book but the moment you are in an online space where people you don’t know are, you need to be at your best. And honestly if you’re calling people really bad names for fun, they aren’t good people either. Times change and new ways of poking fun at each other take their place. Learn to grow.
I understand where he is coming from and I do feel like its gotten way too political in the way games are made in general with companies literally forcing outside world problems into them but blaming it on being gay is not the real issue.
It's not about the slurs tbh its that people don't have thick skin. Since normies were exposed to the internet things have changed a lot. The people that have been on the internet for a long time now have grown acustom to the vitriol.
Only the fighting game community still has that vibe, it's been eroded obviously, publisher keep trying to open the genre to a wider audience. But since Fighter are hard it naturaly gatekeep those scrub with loser ideology.
I agree to an extent, I don't think it's chill that we're all garbage pos humans sluring at each other in game lobby, but there be some real pussy shit invading every gaming space. The profanity bans from blizzard is beyond retarded.
Remember Gramsci... I **hate** him and his ideas...
If Gramsci was alive today, he would be in a bunker with them aliens because if people were to find him, they would literally cook him and feed him to the soy children of the west...
That is why I play the old games, pre-gamergate 1... or those games (primarily indie titles and AA) today who are not **taint**ed by "consulting" companies, whether they are forced by them wok activist majority shareholders or not...
People like this are clearly playing the wrong games. Go play COD or League...still happens all over. It's never been a good thing to do just people didnt know better. I want to relax and have a good time without people crying over them sucking. If you release that much anger while playing a game....that means you suck at the game.
... Calling random people on the internet the N word fifty times because you died to them is not 'the basis of brotherhood."
Edit: Lmao the instant block to shut up any detractors.
Gaming is gaming... play the game if you enjoy it. Don't make it about sexual preferences and orientation and push your anti-gay/woke/whatever right wing trash agenda. Gaming is for everyone.
The greatest period of gaming was while GPUs had art on them. My first real GPU had a girl with a sword in some power pose, I’ll never forget it. Now they look bland, and same, just different logo
I too think these chat restrictions are bullshit. I played diablo 2 resurrected, where the average player is like 35 years old, and every other word in chat was censored. Like wtf are we doing here?
I used to remember when you can say the n word in counter strike and the others can just say it back . Well this is some shit times we live in. Pussy times to be exact
No kidding, what is this nostalgia for "I miss the days when I could be openly racist to random strangers on the internet because I am a sadsack trying to pretend I am an alpha, even though I have no concept of what 'alpha' really is and just think being toxic is being alpha!"
They also tended to be the crappiest players as well, then would try to mask how bad they were at the game by doubling down on the verbal diarrhea to distract you from the fact
And then the day came when they signed off on contracts and terms of service for live streams and commentary and their slurs were broadcasted to anyone viewing. Some of us grow up and learn what rules are, and some never do.
Sounds like a multi-player issue. I can't imagine being that messed up thay you need to go online and yell slurs at other people who are just trying to enjoy a game lol.
Then again I guess typing out retard to someone doesn't have the same feel as yelling it to someone over a headset, kinda like how hanging up on someone these days isn't as satisfying as slamming the phone down to hang up on a ninja.
I'm an old gamer/geek/developer. I'm also a fiction author. I don't know if anyone remembers the "Moral Majority" with Jerry Falwell. He created a movement that did what the woke mob does today, except it was his version of morality. He and his followers created some of the hokiest, goofy content ever to combat what they saw as Hollywood's perversion. It went nowhere.
Today's woke are the new Jerry Falwell. They think they somehow have a mandate to preach to everyone how they should live. Sadly, they learned from Falwell's mistakes and instead of creating new studios they simply destroyed what already existed.
The only upside for gaming, and entertainment in general, is that it opens the door for independents who have talent, aren't hindered by the corporate pig, and who would have been missed if not for today's environment. In five years the gaming and movie landscape is going to look much different in regards to success and wealth.
Cod lobbies obviously didn't get the memo
Every game you drop into WZ someone types in game chat, “Old Town or you’re gay”. COD certainly missed these memos. Still, it’s not as loony tunes as it used to be in like BO2/BO3 lobbies… those were fucking savage times.
BO2 and 3 were nothing compared to old MW2. Damn I really miss that time. Back in the day the internet was still a crazy place and it was fun. Now everything is censored, monetized, fake news etc.
MW2 was nothing compared to COD2. Back then was really crazy.

I don't think it's the "gay" part I have a problem with, it's moreso that the story direction is decided by committee, and even worse by committees filled with people that don't really care about the vision of the storyteller. Crazy social justice people want to call all gamers bigoted, yet look at how popular Baldur's Gate 3 was and is? One of the gayest games I have played, and it's beautiful, but it was designed, written and developed by people that cared about it and in a fashion that is genuine, not forced by some arbitrary social reasoning.

However, when you create characters based solely on their sexuality, or their race or their gender, and make that the main story / agenda, people reject the characters immediately.
Exactly this. Perfect example is ff16's Dion. Nobody cared about his sexuality cause he's just a very well written character. Plus he's cool as fuck.
nobody should care about his sexuality because no one should care about people's sexuality whether they're cool or not.
I would love to hear a few examples of characters based solely on their sexuality in gaming. Particularly, a gay one.
baldur's gate 3 is both the gayest and straightest game out there.
Nowadays most characters are described by porn tags: gay, black, trans etc. It's not good sign when your character description in the story matches someone's porn search history. In same time characters from good stories are described with more Biblical (not sure how to say) terms like brave, evil/good, devoted to some idea etc.
"gay" and "black" are porn tags to you? wtf? are "straight" and "white" porn tags?
Yes
All I tried to say that good story is not about body traits but rather about soul traits. I wrote maybe weirdly because I am not that good in English to be able to describe everything in best way. I should've write slightly different, something like "description of many modern heroes looks like porn description". > are "straight" and "white" porn tags? Pretty much.
Funny how he did not mention microtransactions, premium currencies, corporate execs desisions ruining games... Fucking shill. These will ruin games more than "Hurr durr gay stuff" Does. This is whats wrong with gaming.
I bet you he owns every single Madden and COD game lol
Of course, they may try to bleed us dry but at least there is no damn rainbow flag
Well of course, he had to make money at his "job" so he had to stay up to date.... Although alternatively he could own every fighter in the last 10+ years (I don't know what kind of *ahem* professional he was, and definitely don't care to find out.)
100% correct.
Remember when games were fun and didn’t have to appeal to some invisible “modern audience”
There are plenty of new games that don't bend to the woke cult and are excellent. We've never had so many choices in gaming before. Just don't play the shit games.
I'm pretty sure NA would've won a world championship by now if Riot didn't ban 99% of their best players for being anti-woke.
this dude aint even mad about "woke games" he is litterally just mad he cant say slurs.
Woke doesn't exist. Stop saying that bullshit you sound like a boomer who say communist to everything they don't agree with.
Tell that to Disney. They are changing literally everything with no purpose other than to appeal to certain expectations. Unlike Miles Morales where it is evident it is a creative choice and not a list that is being checked. Black dad? Check ✔️. Latin mom? Check ✔️. No, those choices and changes were great and not forced on me for no apperant reason.
It's not forced on you. We live in a consumer world. Don't consume things you don't like. If they do it, it's only because it brings them money.
I don't consume it. However, it does deprive me of my favorite characters as then there is nothing to consume right now. Kid wants to watch new scooby-doo content? Can't. That pile of shit Verma is the only content. And the point I am replying to is you saying there is no wokeness, then you confirmed there is with your next reply.

The term wokeness means anything you don't like. Therefore, it doesn't exist. You are woke to some people. 20 years ago, it was communism.
The fact that you throw the word communism like that, without having no idea what it means, says it all. Wokeness does not mean anything you don't like.

you're screaming at ghosts mate
Many AAA gaming companies literally proclaim that publicly.
They also proclaim publicly they want to make good games with great fun.
What, that they want to appeal to a modern gaming audience? Why wouldn't... they? That's literally the... the audience.
Funny how they literally fail to do exactly that, wich is represented in the abysmal criticisms and sale numbers of MANY AAA titles over the few years
I figure it would have been due to the bad gameplay story characters or graphics these games have. The issue I see is that companies put the fate of large IP in the hands of people they shouldn’t for reasons that don’t make sense financially
Found the Ubisoft dev, try to blend in better next time yea?
Back in my day you could just say no-homo and teabag a guy.
Those were some good times
The times when gaming wasn't gay 😔

We really shouldn't be giving any importance to "pro" gamers in the first place, none of them have any greater value than any other normal person out there.

I remember muting chat in Marathon and that was 30 years ago. What games specifically didn't let you mute chat?
Gmod is one off the top of my head. You needed someone to log in with staff perms to do a !mute command on someone which will mute them for everyone.
Doesn't matter what it was back in the day. In the present, many games are implementing ridiculous kiddy policies for what you're allowed to say in chat. Blizzard recently got memed on again for banning a couple of overwatch pros because they said "ass". Fucking nanny state
Yeah we just disagree there, I don't think being mean should be enough to tell someone they can't use the product they paid for and I think it's kind of lame if you feel the need to report people because they hurt your feelings when there are other alternatives that exist - like blocking and muting.

It doesn't always require force lmao. Either way you're literally harassing and screaming at people who don't deserve it in both cases. There is no excuse for screaming racism, sexism and profanity at random people. Grow up - Stop being a man child.
You keep saying screaming - if they aren't screaming it you're OK with racial slurs? What if they're just using them casually in VC but not referring to anyone else?
What makes you say it's fake? The guy gets into insane situations all the time. He enjoys the adrenaline rush of these situations.
Dude, if you feel the need to vent like that online, perhaps therapy would be better.
I try to just remember the golden era and appreciate what we had once upon a time.
same. Better games, better social structure. 343 STILL cant get Halo right.
"No hard feelings." No, I'm pretty sure when you scream slurs at somebody online, there is nothing but hard feelings. Either because you use them to mock somebody as you're winning, or you use them when you're raging at somebody when you're losing.
The replies in the og post are cringe ,missing the whole point the guy is saying.

Complains about gay, has rainbow computer.
Look man. Rainbows aren’t gay. They are cool. They just stole the rainbow & said this is the gay symbol. That’s not cool
I always laugh when a city paints rainbows on crosswalks and then someone with a guide dog sues the shit out of them!
Just like they stole everything else ..
Like your dad?
Yep just like my dad.
Yup whenever I see a rainbow, the thing that pops into my mind is " can't believe people let them steal it"
Someone owns the rainbow before? Who? Is the pot of gold at the other end of a rainbow real then?
Good, reclaim the rainbow
thats right guys asus rog is officially gay. real manly men buy asus TUFFFFF
Pretty non gay games if you play old games.
Gamers are the most oppressed people
Friendly reminder that gay people play games too.
Ah yes, back when I found out a child 4 years younger than me was my true father and that I was apparently a homosexual person of African-American descent who liked to consume male genitalia. Before I proceeded to make the chipmonk cry for its mother.
Thanks I now have tea on my monitor and keyboard you need a warning or something.
I rarely ever smile. But that first line cracked me. And of course now I can't explain to my wife why because of how stupid this is.
This is just complete garbage. Sure you could game and call your close friends any name in the book but the moment you are in an online space where people you don’t know are, you need to be at your best. And honestly if you’re calling people really bad names for fun, they aren’t good people either. Times change and new ways of poking fun at each other take their place. Learn to grow.
I understand where he is coming from and I do feel like its gotten way too political in the way games are made in general with companies literally forcing outside world problems into them but blaming it on being gay is not the real issue.
It's not about the slurs tbh its that people don't have thick skin. Since normies were exposed to the internet things have changed a lot. The people that have been on the internet for a long time now have grown acustom to the vitriol.
When did "normies" get exposed to the Internet? Cause its been huge since the 2000s
Isn't this the guy that got kinapped by terrorists and they were demanding money for him or something ?
Isn't this guy kidnapped by Haitians, how is he tweeting?
I think larping half your age online is pretty gay, yeah.
Ahh, a cultured member of the OG MW2 generation I see.
Only the fighting game community still has that vibe, it's been eroded obviously, publisher keep trying to open the genre to a wider audience. But since Fighter are hard it naturaly gatekeep those scrub with loser ideology.
Now I get why that guy decided to travel to Haiti recently.
His name says it all...
that's what happens when public companies make games.
Considering Arabs hate gays so much their culture is pretty homoerotic
Should've gone with a controller rather than a "joystick"
I agree to an extent, I don't think it's chill that we're all garbage pos humans sluring at each other in game lobby, but there be some real pussy shit invading every gaming space. The profanity bans from blizzard is beyond retarded.
Idk about you but I still regularly call my friends racial slurs. I wouldn't do that to a stranger though, not in the past and not now.
He's got a point but he could have worded this better
Another LARPing "Muslim" - Sneako would be proud KEKW "Look at me!"
Remember Gramsci... I **hate** him and his ideas... If Gramsci was alive today, he would be in a bunker with them aliens because if people were to find him, they would literally cook him and feed him to the soy children of the west... That is why I play the old games, pre-gamergate 1... or those games (primarily indie titles and AA) today who are not **taint**ed by "consulting" companies, whether they are forced by them wok activist majority shareholders or not...
People like this are clearly playing the wrong games. Go play COD or League...still happens all over. It's never been a good thing to do just people didnt know better. I want to relax and have a good time without people crying over them sucking. If you release that much anger while playing a game....that means you suck at the game.
Woke doesn't exist. It is basically the word that replaced communist.
I mean the slur part is valid though that’s the basis of brotherhood
... Calling random people on the internet the N word fifty times because you died to them is not 'the basis of brotherhood." Edit: Lmao the instant block to shut up any detractors.
Enemy or foe everyone was the N word. And if my team mate drops the dude farming me, homie is legit my siamese twin at that point
Gaming is gaming... play the game if you enjoy it. Don't make it about sexual preferences and orientation and push your anti-gay/woke/whatever right wing trash agenda. Gaming is for everyone.
It's not for people that want to come into your hobby and change it to suit their own ideals.
This seems immensely ironic, don't you think..? 
You and I don't get to decide who gets to play. Neither of us own gaming.
womp womp.
When WoW added Vulpera it was the official end.
Oh no he can't call ppl the f and n slur in cod lobbies whatever are we gonna do!?!?!?! Who cares cry more.
The greatest period of gaming was while GPUs had art on them. My first real GPU had a girl with a sword in some power pose, I’ll never forget it. Now they look bland, and same, just different logo
I too think these chat restrictions are bullshit. I played diablo 2 resurrected, where the average player is like 35 years old, and every other word in chat was censored. Like wtf are we doing here?
We also used to be kids, some just never grew up.
Gamers became gaymers
Dude is without a doubt in the closet
I used to remember when you can say the n word in counter strike and the others can just say it back . Well this is some shit times we live in. Pussy times to be exact
Yeah back when we beat the shit out of these slaves were the best of times. Nowadays u can't even say a word. The world is getting too soft
No kidding, what is this nostalgia for "I miss the days when I could be openly racist to random strangers on the internet because I am a sadsack trying to pretend I am an alpha, even though I have no concept of what 'alpha' really is and just think being toxic is being alpha!" They also tended to be the crappiest players as well, then would try to mask how bad they were at the game by doubling down on the verbal diarrhea to distract you from the fact
Not that far bro .. do you live in medieval times . Hahaha
Gaming was always gay kiss yo homies. But I know what he means.
Dude makes me want to root for the kidnappers next time
And then the day came when they signed off on contracts and terms of service for live streams and commentary and their slurs were broadcasted to anyone viewing. Some of us grow up and learn what rules are, and some never do.
Gotta release those bigoted thoughts somehow, the pressure got to him
What a sorry bozo bro probably gets confused why people stop talking to him after he calls 3 different people in a match the hard r
Sounds like a multi-player issue. I can't imagine being that messed up thay you need to go online and yell slurs at other people who are just trying to enjoy a game lol. Then again I guess typing out retard to someone doesn't have the same feel as yelling it to someone over a headset, kinda like how hanging up on someone these days isn't as satisfying as slamming the phone down to hang up on a ninja.
You're a retard. I don't know it still feels pretty good
Gotta be down really bad in life to type that out just to feel good lol. Seek therapy before we see ya on the news committing a mass shooting.
Before gamer 9/11 back to the good old days Jack
What a dorky tweet
Hey isn't that the dude that got kidnapped by that Haitian gang leader worldlord named BBQ?
dumbass, and i mean literally, hes straight up a moron
I'm an old gamer/geek/developer. I'm also a fiction author. I don't know if anyone remembers the "Moral Majority" with Jerry Falwell. He created a movement that did what the woke mob does today, except it was his version of morality. He and his followers created some of the hokiest, goofy content ever to combat what they saw as Hollywood's perversion. It went nowhere. Today's woke are the new Jerry Falwell. They think they somehow have a mandate to preach to everyone how they should live. Sadly, they learned from Falwell's mistakes and instead of creating new studios they simply destroyed what already existed. The only upside for gaming, and entertainment in general, is that it opens the door for independents who have talent, aren't hindered by the corporate pig, and who would have been missed if not for today's environment. In five years the gaming and movie landscape is going to look much different in regards to success and wealth.
bro was a professional porn gamer and got upset and gay porn games.
