I will use this as a reply to stupid IRL comments for a whole week now
Yahtzee is a fucking retard who has no idea what he wants from a game and just goes with the majority opinions on everything, just reworded in a way that sounds somewhat negative. The only thing he says that's even remotely different from what the typical shill sites say is that he doesn't give a fuck about multiplayer.
Shit critic, decent developer.

What's worth playing?
>>339519368
Didn't he shit on uncharted 4, I've already forgotten, but that is hardly a majority opinion.
>>339516456
I wish he wasn't so focused on the auteur thing.
The Consuming Shadow would be pretty decent if he hired a good artist to make it look nice.
>>339518205
might be ending before they can finish since Yahtzee is moving to America soon.
>>339519543
I JUST WANTED TO GO INTO SPACE
>>339519549
Who cares? Its fucking Uncharted, opinions are meaningless, it'll sell because its pretty.
>>339519543
If you like Point and Clicks, then the 4 trilby games are good. If not, Poacher is pretty good. Art of Theft is mediocre at best and I haven't played his new games yet.
>>339518216
They've both got a good point. Yahtzee thinks that games are an experience meant to be enjoyed being the sole objective of the medium, and as such the game you most enjoyed that year is the best. Gabe thinks that a games are an all-around objective experience and can be well made and better, but not necessarily the game that you found to be the most fun. Just two different ways of looking at something
>>339519543
Consuming Shadow is pretty good if you can get past the simple graphics
Poacher is fun too though the controls take some getting used to. [Spoiler] It also has a fucking insane secret boss that I still haven't managed to beat[/Spoiler]
i think nintendo is dead, or at least to me. they have their hits every once in a while. they should get rid of their motion controls and get a normal controller like microsoft, sony and pc.
>>339519528
>i wear cargo pants and a superhero t-shirt on formal occasions
>>339516456
so far they are not pleasing anyone but the figure collecting crowd and the casual motion cotroller games faggot crowd
they shgould maybe start and get back to making video games like a real video game company
>>339520086
>I bring my fedodo to informal occasions
>>339519905
They're both retards who can't even play fucking Resident Evil 4 on normal mode and think beating it on Professional is some achievement worth bragging about. Yahtzee's so fucking stupid he thinks that interception fire in strategy games is unfair and Gabe is so fucking stupid that he thinks JA2 is some unimaginably difficult game that only crazy people can play.
Neither of them can critique a game to save their lives.
>>339520086
>i live in a hot country am overweight and choose to walk around in 3 layers of shirts waistcoats and jackets and round it off with a trillby/fedora keeping my greasy as fuck bacon looking hair in check

>>339520332
it's been well known for a while that yahtzee is casual as fuck
>>339520332
That's what's so great about them to be honest.
That certain degree of incompetence just helps improve the experience of Let's Drown Out.
>>339520183
Except no one buys the actually good games that they release. Maybe if retards like you actually bought Codename Steam or Wonderful 101, then it would be profitable to make good games, guess we'll never know because there's no shortage of dumbasses going "they should make REAL games again" while ignoring everything that doesn't have Mario or Zelda in the title.
Fedoras and other similar hats should have an age restriction like alcohol and tobacco. Not to be sold to or possessed by people under 50 years of age.
>>339520703
>Codename Steam
:)
>>339520648
The degree of it is kind of shocking though, this moron thinks that the only reason people might prefer the original X-Com over the remake is nostalgia but he hasn't even fucking beaten the remake on fucking NORMAL (read: easy) mode. He claims to have played the original game, I find it highly doubtful, if he has then he's probably played like an hour of it, tops.
The fucking retard thinks that story and "auteurism" is the most important part of a game but hasn't even finished MGSV despite making a review of it.
Who are they trying to please by covering all these ankles?
>>339521017
you don't have to complete a game to know it's shit
>>339521126
Unprofessional retard
>>339521283
good thing he's a critic and not a proper reviewer then, eh?
>>339521126
He gave MGSV a positive review, he still doesn't know anything about its disaster of an ending. I love MGSV but that sheer level of ignorance and hypocrisy in a person who makes their living reviewing games is astonishing.
>>339521064
Their main customer in the western region; parents.

I did buy that, thing is Nintendo didn't market the fucking thing. They had, what, a direct? That doesn't count for shit as marketing. The problem is Nintendo themselves don't market shit that isn't Mario, Zelda or Pokemon.
>>339521283
Have you ever read a shit book that suddenly becomes good at the end? Ever seen a horrible movie that redeems itself in the last ten seconds?
No?
Of course fucking not.
You don't have to see a game through to the end to know if its shit or not. If you are 1-2 hours in and it feels like you would rather be doing anything fucking else than play it, its a shit game.
>being cynical
>>339521627
I've played games that were shit in the beginning and have gotten better over time though. I've also played games that were good at the beginning but had extremely shitty ending or late game content.
>>339521559
Look at the reviews of the damn game. You think it would have sold if it was marketed more? No, people would just cry about how it doesn't control like a generic third person hack and slash and the game would tank based on negative word of mouth from retards. Wonderful 101 is proof that a game's quality is completely irrelevant to how well it'll sell as well as being an indictment of anyone who whines about Nintendo not making enough new IPs or not taking risks.
>>339521559
I think they learned their lesson with Fire Emblem and Splatoon
Hell even Xenoblade X got fucking ads nowadays (Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS had some ads to but they were so rare as hell)
Plus The Wonderful 101 had a garbage demo (which has always been a problem with Platinum Games) and reviews didn't help it so that game was destined to get fucked over especially when NoA didn't give a shit about it aside from one direct
>>339521332
Even movie critics watch the full movie before slamming it.
>>339522382
Yeah, a movie takes one and a half to two hours tops.
Some games can take well over 20+ hours.
Would you expect somebody to complete all of a Disgaea game before reviewing it?
>>339521381
Yahtzee is living embodiment of the smug, detached Gen-X ethos.
I'd venture to guess he has felt a single sincere conviction about anything since childhood. He exist as polyps upon the colon of culture, satiating himself on the perceived failures of others (i.e. "The Man") while adding nothing new to the discourse aside from ironic complaint.
He is an insecure, lost, rapidly aging burnouts who silently believe he could do a better job of making games than the professionals in the industry. Yet he lacks the ambition and ability to actually enter the very industry he is obsessed with. He choose instead to fuck around and make student game piss-takes well into middle age.
He is an awful, awful person. I've met thousands just like him, and the last thing we need is for these people to gain any attention for their navel gazing.
Please, /v/, do not aspire to become anything like this guy. His is a lonely and pathetic road leading to depression and a life devoid of real purpose.
I hope he disappears and his disaffected followers stop subsidizing their lifestyle. Perhaps that would force them to do something productive with themselves.
>>339522674
If it was your fucking job to play games, yes.
>>339516456
Sony is selling consoles exactly because they found that middle ground.
Do you think only hardcore players buy a PS4? LOL.

Faggots need to learn that the weather should be the main deciding factor in what you wear on a normal day. Even if that outfit did look cool, the fucker would still also look like a moron for wearing it if it's blistering hot out.

>Yet he lacks the ambition and ability to actually enter the very industry he is obsessed with. He choose instead to fuck around and make student game piss-takes well into middle age.
Ambition to join soulless corporations instead of creating his own career? The games aren't student games but exactly what he wanted to make at the time. They are what he thought other people may want to play. Do you only respect the biggest AAA developer companies?
>>339522754

I feel like these are contradictory points trying to contribute to the same opinion. Compare W101 to Fallout 4, which was half-assed as hell despite an enormous budget but succeeded as much as it did greatly because of its hyper aggressive marketing campaign.
>>339522832
He's writing reviews, not god damn walkthroughs.
Also he always points out when he doesn't complete a game in his reviews, and usually gives his reasons why. Sometimes its a shit excuse, sometimes it's completely legit.
>>339518216
How can anyone defend gabe after that?
>>339523135
I'll wear a flannelette shirt over an undershirt with jeans on a humid 110 day and not mind. It varies from person to person.
>>339523478
I liked it since it reminded me a lot of the bad post apocalyptic paper and pen RPG's I used to play in high school with somefriendswith the levels of ineptitude all the characters and the obvious DMPC spec ops commando who gets killed when the GM overlooked something.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug
>>339522754
At the risk of being accused of being the yahtzee defense force, have you seen any of his stuff outside of Zero Punctuation? He's not nihilistic or smug.
>Yet he lacks the ambition and ability to actually enter the very industry he is obsessed with
He's made multiple games dude. Actual games. Actual novels, too. He's a workhorse.
>>339522674
>two hours tops
You mostly watch cartoons and comedies I take it?
>>339523661
That's not THAT bad, I would lose the undershirt if I wear you, but all that shit is basically all purpose as long as the flannel shirt is thin and short sleeved.
Something you should keep in mind however if you often feel the urge to cover up your body from head to toe: Covering your body and being afraid to reveal yourself is a symptom of depression and anxiety, if you find yourself wearing unnecessary clothing all the time you really need to start cutting back.
>>339523539
Sure, if you're willing to go full media blitz but I'm just talking a modest marketing campaign just to get more awareness out for the game. W101 was poorly marketed, no denying it, but even if it had better marketing it would have failed just as hard. Of course if they threw hundreds of millions at it then it would have at least broken a million but there's no way a Platinum game would get a marketing budget like that.
>>339523631
His position makes sense, i don't get how Yahtzee misunderstood. It's like saying Transformers 3 is your favourite movie when you acknowledge its garbage and completely zero quality. No one would claim Transformers 3 was the best movie that year.
>>339522674
Yes i would. If you are going to review a game then you should play the entire thing.
It's not my fault games take longer to compelete than watching a movie or reading a book. That's the problem of the reviewer and choosing to review games.
I sure as hell will never listen to someone who only played a couple hours of the game. It be akin to listening to someone who only read the first chapter of a book.
Bottom line is, don't bite off more than you can chew.
>>339522754
>that overanalysing and pretentious attitude
>Caricature of a millenial tries to accuse someone of being a caricature of a gen-xer
>>339524002
It's thick and long sleeved. I don't cover up on principle, just happened to throw on those clothes that day and got stuck in the city much longer than I'd hoped.
I wouldn't say that it's indicative of depression at all, just indicative of being a pussy. The change you're referencing I've best experienced when I first started cutting my hair short.
Covering up full body is actually quite good in extreme heat, it combats dehydration and sun damage. Why else would the sandniggers do it?

>>339524352
Sandniggers dress in light breezy fabrics though, that shit is not retaining heat or sweat, it's just keeping the sun from directly hitting their skin.
Thick and long-sleeved flannel is fucking preposterous for 110 degree humid heat, I definitely would have thought you were an idiot for wearing that to be honest.
Unless you're from Seattle there's no call for dressing like a bay area hipster/lumberjack.

>>339524943
I never got that impression of him but I guess defending him any further would be crossing into fanboyism.
>>339524102
Once you've sunk enough time into a game to understand it you have a good idea of what it is going to be like. if its a 200+ hour grind-a-thon you can call it a 200+ hour grind-a-thon. People who want it will buy it regardless of the time you've put into playing it.
And that is the ultimate thing, game reviewing is pointless today. People will buy a game based on what people they know say about it, or wether they
Think they will like it or not.
If you truly believe that the game review industry has been anything but lazy and corrupt since the get-go then you are really fucking retarded.

He is paid to output one video a week. That means if it takes too long to ramp up, it is time start writing the video's script. If he was not obliged to have a strict regular schedule, he could but in a much larger amount of hours, but it would come out later.
>>339522674

>>339525730
I beg to differ.
>>339525730
I want to go back to when the nation was fighting over who's the worst European race. Whiteness isn't a fun concept.
Yahtzee can be entertaining, and that's about all you can say about him. He's good at that side of things, but he is shit at having any sort of consistency. As other anons have stated, he regularly does not finish games (Monster Hunter is the notorious one; he never got past the fucking tutorial). Go watch his Demon's Souls review and then his Dark Souls 3 review. He jerks off the Souls games HARD but that nigger hated them when he first played them. Many of the reasons he cited hating it are now the reasons he claims to love it.
He's retarded, but at the very least he's honest about his opinions.

watch his lets play series on youtube and you can see just how pathetically nihilistic and selfish he really is whenever he spouts his views on anything
he's made games but they're all painfully mediocre, he doesn't have the conviction to really make an effort to do anything remarkable
>>339526231
One of his big complaints with Demon's is that when you die, it's unforgiving. He then cites that he likes that about Dark Souls, and now he is a rabid fanboy for the series. While it's possible to dislike one game of the series, he just isn't consistent with his reasoning.

Can you prove him wrong?
>>339527156
The Americas have some terrific land, it'd be their Asian genes that denied them success.
>>339526504
I think the difference is that he gave Dark Souls a bigger chance then Demon's soul. In Demon's soul he died and quit because he had other things to do, but in Dark Souls he decided to push on instead and is considering to finish Demon's Souls.
But I think that everyone has to admit that the Soul series is not the easiest one to get into.
>>339527261
whats you're problem?
>>339525759
Then maybe he should review small games that can be compeleted in that time frame?
Again, don't bite off more than you can chew.
>>339526504
The context is slightly different between DeS and DaS. The number of archstones available and the distance between them is less and more than bonfires, respectively, and DeS is a far less polished game than DaS in generalAlso, it seems like he suffered from the stupidity of not knowing you could do the worlds out of order, whereas exploration of different areas is much more apparent in Dark Souls, so it doesn't feel like you HAVE to mash your head against a particular wall to advance
>>339527313
Well he completely misinterpreted the entire thrust of the story in Valkyria Chronicles that was a memorable fuck up of his. He acts like Isara is supposed to be fap-bait for the main character when really the whole adoptive sister thing is so that they can have more personal discussion of Darcsen prejudice. Hardly surprising he misunderstood the intentions of the story since he only played like 3 hours in.
>>339516456
I don''t agree with Yahtzee on every point, but It's nice having a reviewer who emphasizes the strength of pacing and atmosphere in an interactive medium.

It's literally his job. What better things did he have to do than to actually complete the game he was being paid to review? If he can't find time to play the fucking game when all of his income is based around playing the game then there's something severely wrong with him.
He had at least a week to play DeS and he played it maybe an hour. That's shameful.

Well yeah, if you want people to take your review of anything seriously, you should dress how you normally do, instead of like over dressed caricature clown trying to seem professional. Its the same as a anime reviewer reviewing while dressed like Sephiroth, it just seems fake and makes them look stupid. Trying too hard to impress visually first, and verbally second.
A good example of this when it comes to movies is Brad Jones, also known as the cinema snob.
His midnight screenings have him review a movie in his car, dressed as he was when he went and saw the movie. Like a normal person.
While his cinema snob reviews have him dressed basically in as many stereotypes as possible. Because its not him, its a character he plays.
>>339527641
He reviews what he is told for the most part, same for most "reviewers"
When you are handed a 100+ hour game, and have 4 days to finish the review you do what you have to.

He did say that he initially went into Dark Souls with the same mindset of his dislike with Demons Souls, but he gave it more time to get into it and eventually passed the initial learning curve.
Then he acknowledged that there was more to appreciate the series for than just the multiple frustrating deaths that people kept clamoring about.

So is Gabe ever gonna fuck off from drown out so it's just yahtzee?
Because holy hell is Gabe awful and stupid.
Unless you yourself are a mongoloid, he is the very definition of insipid. Goddamn.
>>339528658
At least they are more sane then the people who created Bane posting

>Those comments
>>339528620
He looks a lot better more recently, he stopped wearing those hats a long time ago too
>>339528746
I need 2-4 people talking over gameplay footage to properly enjoy it.
>>339528746
They're both pretty stupid in a lot of ways.
Are monster hunter/smash fags still this mad ?

He reviewed MGSV without knowing about the cut Eli mission, without knowing about the Venom twist, without having played the second outbreak, and without having seen how unfinished the whole second chapter is. What value does a review have when the reviewer decided to cut out without having finished the damn thing?
>>339529002
>What value does a review have when the reviewer decided to cut out without having finished the damn thing?
It tells you that the product is so bad that not even the reviewer wants to finish it
>>339527993
He isn't paid to review seriously or accurately. People expect funny hyperboles and nitpicking. Watch his Zelda ALBW review he didn't even talk about the game.
>>339528442
>>339528267
He has a long history of disliking Uncharted for retarded petty reasons. They're terrible games but he doesn't like them because he thinks the main character is obnoxious. I'll grant you that occasionally he'll diverge from majority opinion, but its always for the stupidest of reasons.
Wearing a different kind of autist hat doesn't make you not an autist, Yahtzee.
>>339528746
I like Gabe well enough. It's nice to see Yahztee working with a counterpoint.
>>339528746
they're both fucking stupid, yahtzee is just a bit less so
>>339529094
His MGSV review was positive dumbass.
>>339528813
He said on his personal channel that he had no idea they were going to shoot a video and he just wasn't prepared or in a good mood for it. He has an anxiety problem too. Really doesn't seem like an 'in front of the camera' guy.
>>339528936
Yahtzee's stupidity isn't staggeringly, unfathomably anger inducing though.
Gabe is a fucking dunce and he knows it and he will be the first to let you know, so you can't possibly talk shit to him.
Goddamn after the first few drown outs I was tolerating his awful garbage opinions, but I forget where I stopped, think it was a little after that SJW mention/discussion, it wasn't even that material, just him being a giant boring collection of opinions no one asked for or cares about whatsoever.
He never knows when to shut the fuck up and move on either, fucking Yahtzee has to call him out on his blathering bullshit constantly like Gabe is literally a fucking child who can't move on with the story of how he got drunk that one time but now he's sober and he also did some drugs and stuff.
He's so fucking awful.
>>339516456
>Nintendo in charge of hiring Western developers to help create games the fans want
>>339528913
Its not the hat, its like his whole actual face that just I dont know has that whiff of turbotist about it
>>339529002
He only has a week to make each review. I played MGSV for a month solid and I only just finished sahalanthropus.
Besides, if you ask him he'll tell you they aren't serious reviews, it's entertainment.
>>339529260
Only the base management
>>339529359
Holy fuck are you ever judgmental. I'd be surprised if you have any friends.

he and Giant Bomb are the most popular plebs on v. Literally Bioshock Infinite game of the year tier people.
>>339516456
I didn't expect him to be a socialist
>>339518404
Every single time the word "fedora" is used in that way it's actually referring to a trilby, since the people who wear them don't know the difference.
>>339529848
he's right though
gabe is a moronic fuck
even more so when you're australian and you can pick out his "trying to sound smart but is actually a fucking moron" accent like i imagine english people feel about totalbiscuit
>>339528125
>When you are handed a 100+ hour game, and have 4 days to finish the review you do what you have to.
And that's why you don't listen to his review.
It's not dependable if he isn't allowed to finish the game.
Besides he likely spends 3 out of 4 days working on his little shitty flash videos.
>>339529969
Bioshock Infinite never came close to Yahtzee GOTY.
>>339529480
Huh. I dunno, just looks like a slightly geeky British guy.
>>339529848
He's 100% right.

He's playing a character in Zero Punctuation though.

to be fair here, neither did kojima
>>339530134
>Besides he likely spends 3 out of 4 days working on his little shitty flash videos.
Yes. That's what he said he does. His schedule split between producing the current video and playing the next game.
>>339530329
I do not understand. Bioshock Infinite is a movie. I thought he hates movies.
>>339516456
>Unfortunately Nintendo are fucking kidding themselves if they think they can please everyone at once
Fucking nonsense.
What he's saying is you can't have a low skill-floor and high skill-ceiling which is absolutely fucking retarded.
What he's saying is "Why don't they PANDER to NES/SNES kiddies? WAAAAAH"
>>339521064
I don't Nintendo Treehouse is staffed only by SJWs so much as localization teams are trying to rationalize their existence. By "adjusting" the games for Western audiences through censorship and memes, they can keep doing shitty work while claiming that they are making all these worthwhile improvements to the game.
>>339530531
Even more reason to never listen to his "reviews."
I usually agree with Yahtzee but he's wrong in this instance because Nintendo never gave two shits about the "hardcore" fans in the first place.
They only care about children and nostalgiafags.
>>339517015
he doesn't wear it anymore, and has even gone on record saying he's embarrassed by all of his fedora photos

>>339534494
I remember the GOTY dick sucking power hour that was 2013. This, GTA5, The last of us. It was so much.
>>339531134
he doesnt, he always prefers games with a strong narrative in which he can immerse himself over arcade style, gameplay focused games. he isnt even good at videogames.
>>339534494
I'll say this much for infinite, at least it isn't as shitty as the original Bioshock. Infinite tried to do its own thing instead of being a pathetically shitty retread of a far better game. It failed miserably but at least it made an attempt, that's more than Bioshock 1 ever did.

Except sony always makes risky decisions and nintendo plays it always safe. Sony took the risk of selling the ps3 at a huge loss nintendo would never do something like that and would rather jew you on another reiteration of a gamecube processor to cut costs.
>>339535912
>and nintendo plays it always safe
The Wii was a pretty big risk, not so much in power but in building their whole console around an unproven gimmick
>>339535912
The PS3 was designed the way it was specifically to make it MORE difficult to develop games so that developers would port less games to the 360 and Wii. It was the ultimate in hubris, assuming that the market they had with the PS2 would just buy a 599 US Dollar piece of shit for the playstation branding alone.
And it bit them in the ass since the PS3 is a colossal piece of shit with maybe ten good games max.
>>339536150
The console wasn't build around waggle as everything needed for it to work was a peripheral. If it panned they wouldn't even need to switch controllers.
>>339536334
Funny because the ps3 is selling better than the Wiiu and gets more games too. Not to mention the ps3 was the wii's competitor but outlived both systems.
>>339536337
>all the marketing was centered on the controller
>every game was a showcase for the controller
>lol, waggle wasn't a risk
>>339536337
They went all-in on a blue ocean strategy. If it had turned out that the ocean was empty then they would have been royally fucked.
>>339536503
Cold Steel 1 & 2 are the only notable PS3 releases in the past several years. Of course even those two games alone are far more than the PS4 has gotten.
>>339516456
It seems more likely that Nintendo is working at achieving their own niche marketplace, where they have a sustainable audience base and don't need to worry about the bullshit surrounding Sony/Xbox undermining their position.
>>339518640
He's telling us how based he is, just using the magic of subtlety, anon.
>>339523153
Both books were quite good
but this is wrong, they exclusively appeal to casual shit now
whats the last "hard core retro" thing they've made?
>>339540397
Mario Galaxy?
>>339518404
I want to be Gyaru-ko chan'scustomer!
>>339540460
Mario Galaxy had mode where you little brother can pretend to play.
>>339540397
Star Fox Zero, it may be many negative things, but aimed at casuals is not one of them.
>>339516456
>Motion controls
>Casual
Oh, I guess Splatoon is less skillbased for requiring you to actually aim at your targets?
>>339521346
because he isnt a faggot who cares about the MGS story
>be Australian
>relentlessly bash America in your videos
>move there anyways
>>339541340
Then he's a hypocrite for constantly obsessing over how story is the most important thing in everything else he reviews.
>>339541520
you don't have to like a place to live there
>>339541550
Saints Row 4 and Just Cause 3 had the least narrative in their series and he loved those.
>>339518404
Which is just what fedora-wearers use when they don't want to be fedora wearers.
>>339541663
Then he clearly makes an exception for the shittiest entries in series so that he can further his reputation as having the worst taste in vidya. Anyway, his MGS4 review was focused mostly on the story so his review of MGSV not addressing any of the story's problems was retarded.
Yahtzee is right about 80% of the time
butthurt Monster Hunterfags can suck a dick
>>339523631
They're both idiots who don't understand eachother.
>>339521380
You mean the same people who think Call of Duty with voice chat is a suitable babysitter? Let Timmy call that man a poopnigger while mommy has a drink.
>>339516456
sounds like it. They tried that with the Wii U and it didn't turn out so hot. They catered to the casual crowd which quickly abandoned them. Now they're in one hell of a pickle.
>>339541663
Because story wasn't important in those games, you fucking idiot. Gameplay was.
I don't know where you got that idea.
>>339517120
Or feet.
>>339542905
And couldn't care less, it seems.
>>339542905
>catered to the casual crowd with the Wii U
It launched with fanservice to their classic fans with Nintendo Land, they've published 3 platinum games on the console, they've rereleased two zelda games with big improvements and SM3DW is an improvement over Galaxy in every way, including difficulty.
Meanwhile the casual pandering things they've done with the console: released Wii Fit and Wii Sports updates. Is there anything more retarded than a Nintendo fan who shunned the wii u due to their dislike of the wii?
>>339539117
Who makes up that niche though? The people who flocked to the waggle play iPhone games now. The people who liked 80s-90s Nintendo feel betrayed. And today's little kids would rather play Minecraft

The real anthropology definition of culture (i.e. not the 4chan meme) is human behavior and its expressions. It's impossible for any human, or group of humans, to not "have culture". It's akin to saying they have no ability to interact, emote, prefer one style of door to another.
Something like a handshake is culture, as are the color of roofs on houses.

>>339544890
That was obviously a statement about the fat shit's opinions.
Who cares so long as Nintendo are such censorship-abusing fucks they'll never make a good game.
>in original Japanese game, this girl's mental trauma is rooted in being a gravure idol
