Dark MAGA.
I am trying to think of a mildly entertaining game that was ruined after being purchased by a third party. Maybe Populous? Musk is definitely EA.
Social media I like is popular difficult game 😏
Social media I dislike is popular easy game 🤬
Sorry, Musk. But the order goes like this:
MySpace - Demon Souls, most popular precursor,aid a lot of the groundwork for the following series.
FaceBook - Dark Souls, filled with mad and hollow undead all under the maniacal fist of an uncaring madman who refuses to let the world progress
Tumblr - Bloodborne, the truth lies just behind the veneer for those who can see it, the porn is still there.
Reddit - Lies of P, about half the people who said they played it actually did. Theres so much random shit shoved in here, is that Russian architecture with an old British cop bot? Uh, gnosticism?
Instagram - its actually just the Painted World of Aramis, not a separate game. A beautifully painted, but fake, world that is degrading as time goes on
Twitter - Derelict, low-res models that attempt to look like their inspiration but not well. Developed on an existing platform that already has a shitload of users. Tries to get you to spend money unnecessarily. Is free to use.
Bonus
Lemmy - Hellpoint, faithful to the original, with some unique features. Futuristic designs still impose a feeling of dark forebodence, slay cosmic gods like flies and bring humanity to apotheoses.
I wouldn’t say it’s really that fateful, it’s pretty similar, but there’s still some differences and things missing.
I might be operating off of fresh vibes with that one. It was the most recent soulslike to consume me when it was on sale for like 4 dollars. Highly recommend.
What about train station graffiti? Or Wikipedia discussion pages? Or the linux mailing list?
You have really opened a can of worms we here.
Train Station Graffiti - Ghouls & Goblins, the original hard mode, get hit once and you’re done for, a true work of art (at the time)
Wikipedia Discussion Pages - Blasphemous, ancient and unknown beings wield extreme power over the common populace, theres a lot of blood and religion
Linux Mailing List - Salt and Sanctuary, an imaginary amalgamation of the real world, most people who end up here are castaways, the one with the most salt rules
I’d say the quality matches, as well as the dark patterns. And I believe the goal of buying twitter was of a double pronged nature. Disrupt the huge enclave of leftists there and buy a platform already saturated with users, which is why you make a Roblox game in the first place. The users are already there looking to play shitty games. (Not you tho Creatures of Sonoria, I love you even if you are predatory).
The only thing I can guess what the fuck he even means by this is that it’s insanely easy to get popular on Instagram; you really just need to hit it 3 times to win.
If I was comparing SM to video games:
Reddit would be GTAV Online because it looks really fun until you actually start playing it a while and realize how fucking abysmal it truly is.
Twitter would be whatever the current most popular mobile bullshit is. Everyone plays it, but nobody would ever say it’s actually fun.
InstaGram is Pokemon Snap.
InstaGram is Pokemon Snap.
Don’t be dissing Pokemon Snap like that, it was a first person photography game for N64 and it was brilliant back in 1999.
More like Pokemon Go — digital manipulation imposed on reality. False sense of community.
Pokemon Snap is about photography. InstaGram is about photography.
I thought this would have been obvious lol 🤷🏻♂️
