I am the Leisure Suit Larry of Lemmy.
That’s something the Gex of Lemmy would say.
What?
Holy hell it’s tail time
It’s time to break out a can of whoop-ass!!
I was too young to buy it myself but just old enough to “appreciate” it when I found it on my dad’s computer lol
Cracking the age restriction (a number of questions about US pop culture which an adult would know) was quite the challenge as a German 10-year-old.
Twitter is the pile of Atari E.T. games they found in a New Mexico landfill.
They tried to hide their crimes
Microsoft uncovered them
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.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
Fuck why are these all so correct
Because the Greybeards speak only truth.
So by this logic, twitter is a roblox game?
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).
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.
I was talking about Lemmy but thanks for the suggestion
Do Friendster now
Friendster is King’s Field (before the gaming platform rebrand).
It’s Demon’s Souls.
Devil’s May Souls
Reminds me of this picture
Your wife leaving you means you’re the npc
Not necessarily, it could be a scripted cutscene to introduce the second act and give you time to swap disks.
Twitter is actually 1982’s classic erotic Atari 2600 game "Beat 'em and eat 'em.
There’s Vladimir Putin at the top of the building, firing his pixellated ejaculate over the side and the player controls both Elon Musk and Donald Trump, running left and right with their mouths open to collect it.

I was also delighted by the little bonus “a” in that spelling! I’ve been trying to remember to use the æ symbol in those cases though i don’t get to use it nearly as fræquently as I’d like… At least not properlæ 😉
Hahaha. Oops. That one was automatic/accidental, but I’m not going to change it :)
As mentioned above/below, perhaps it should have been wikipædia :)
Yeah that’s just a funny quirk :)
I feel like there’s not a single person Elon’s comparisons would make sense to
He’s claiming Twitter is more or less “hardcore” and requires a certain level of mental fortitude to stick with. Instagram much less so.
I don’t know how Bloodborne compares to Dark Souls, so I don’t get what he thinks the distinction is there.
He’s just listing games he knows are beloved by their fanbases, hoping to get any of those fanbase’s bigots to support him.
I’m personally offended he’d ever make those comparisons. You made the site trash Elon. Reddit is trash, and instagram is scraping artists work for their ai. You all suck. All those video games are more worthy of my attention than any of those sites.
Anyway, I’m going to go continue my yearly October playthrough of bloodborne. Fuck you Elon. I hope you get hand foot and mouth disease and can’t type for weeks.
You need to parry more on Reddit
Not inaccurate, if it’s analogous to preemptively defending or disclaiming something about whatever point you’re trying to make, trying to avoid the downvotes and questioning that follow if you offend or confuse too many redditors.
Reddit is Bloodborne
Okay this might be the comment that makes Ted Kaczinsky’s manifesto take on new meaning and inspiration for me
burn it all down
Twitter is one of those shitty asset flip survival horrors.
He just paid an exhorberent amount of money for other other people’s work, gave it some basic connecting code and slapped his branding on it and ended up with a product worth less that the sum total of the assets bought to make it.
Oh and you’re constantly trying to avoid Elon and his right wing ghouls, but it just constantly spawns them in front of you and winning is basically impossible.
I am the Red Alert 2 of lemmy because I never shut the fuck up about it.
The internet would be better with more Red Alert 2
But can you wreck a conversation like a group of Kirovs?

What does he even mean by this???
Probably “Look at me, I’m the cool uncle that can reference some videogames! Nevermind that I evicted Grandma”
Bro is trying to act like we forgot about his disgusting Elden Ring build he shared
I’m afraid to ask but what?
A heavy load mage with 30 vigor (lvl 111) and 2 shields equipped.
LOL twitter is daikatana
“Twitter is gonna make you his bitch”
Lemmy is the Itch.io of social media.
It’s not a game?
I dunno, twitter was more a stardew valley running the Joja route; but then it turned into X which was more of a Concord - so much money pumped in and so little quality.
