Nintendo fans are a fucking CULT both old and new systems. Picture the worst turn based unironic Codex Incline freak. Now make them worshipping a company with enough money in the bank to fund the purchase of a couple stealth bombers and you have Nintendo fans.
I've met them in real life. Folks who gave me the dirtiest looks for DARING to play Sega games or to mention that computer games exist and that Nintendo didn't much invent all the shit they get worshipped for. Some guy in The Videogame Years in the 1986 episode called the Famicom Disk Drive the GAMING INNOVATION OF THAT YEAR.
Seriously. A fucking floppy drive. This is the Nintendo fan. Nothing else exists. Kneel before Miyamoto. IDGI. There are good games on just about every platform and only a fuckwit cares if its a console or a computer or which fucking company who would pimp their sister if it wouild make them money and they could get away with it anyhow. (As is the modern company. We are fucking living in Shadowrun man. Except without the elf chicks casting fireballs and troll dudes with an AH-64 Apache gun cybernetically attached to his arm part.
This reminds me of when Anthony Davis blamed the 'dex for an invasion of tards on the OE forums, and of course it turned out not be Codexers.
Well the thin-skinnedness seems to be a two way street, considering that 4 people brofist someone for losing respect only because CRPGAddict poked a little fun at the Codex.
They're much more vitriolic in that thread than we ever were
I mean, I think I came down hardest on him out of the Codexers, and the worst I ever did was call his GIMLET scoring "silly". And considering how much I despise all scoring systems, it's hardly a personal attack.Not just that; the fact that they really believe this despite the amount of praise they get being MUCH higher than any dismissive comments. I mean I've made dismissive comments about some of his posts, but compare to how many times I've pointed to one of his blogs and said "you must go read it now, it's really good" (hell I had just done it this week). Most of the other posts in this thread are the latter actually, and octavius has frequently made (very very good and totally not antagonistic) posts on his blog. This is why I was reminded of Vogel. Back when Vogel accused the Codex of wanting him dead (or whatever that idiocy was) he was one of the most admired and best-reviewed CRPG developers here (keep in mind, that was JUST after Avadon was released, and until then, the Codex loved pretty much every single one of his other games. In fact Avadon was the only game he'd ever made that was more or less unanimously criticized here). It's not that I really care about their criticisms, I know what this place is like (all of it, the good, the bad and the ugly); I'm just baffled how they come to these conclusions.
I don't know, perhaps I don't know the history of this little feud enough, but to me this seemed more like having a little fun at the Codex's expense than seriously thinking that every spammer on the net is a member of the Codex.
Publicly shame them in Unreal Tournament?If he spent some real time here, he'd find out what we do to people we dislike.
