[QUOTE=BlackRaven117;45298709]I personally like Gone Home and feel the vast majority of people complaining about it receives is little more than discounting everything it does because gay people are icky lol we r lejun czech ur privlege
Now, Gone Home has a lot wrong with it but arguments directed at it regarding whether or not it's a game are largely self defeating and delivered with what I believe to be the intent of giving faux-legitimacey to people not liking it because l̶e̶s̶b̶i̶a̶n̶s̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶g̶e̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶d̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶j̶e̶n̶n̶y̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶c̶h̶e̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶e̶a̶m sjws are trying to invade our perfect post-sufferage society where feminism is totally pointless and w̶o̶m̶e̶n̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶w̶h̶o̶r̶e̶s̶ ̶w̶h̶o̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶a̶s̶s̶h̶o̶l̶e̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶t̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶n̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶g̶u̶y̶s̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶m̶e the LGBTQMNOP pc womyn police want to arrest my penis on charges of rape e̶v̶e̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶l̶e̶s̶b̶i̶a̶n̶s̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶i̶t̶'̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶m̶a̶s̶s̶i̶v̶e̶ ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶d̶e̶a̶l̶ ̶s̶t̶o̶p̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶[/QUOTE]
Just watched Gone Home on youtube. Not sure how much I missed out by letting someone else interact with the game for me, but considering the style of the game I assume not a whole lot. Not that it's a bad thing.
Seemed like an extremely niche thing, I couldn't enjoy it not because of the themes, but simply put, it was just boring to me. I just felt like I was everything except their target audience, it's like reading Danielle Steel or something. Maybe they got everything right, but I can't see it because it's not for me.
This style of narration isn't bad though. Iji has something extremely similar, and I loved it - mostly because the story was more in the vein of Mass Effect than Danielle Steel. So yeah I think exploration narrative-based games can be 9/10-worthy, maybe even Gone Home, if it suits you. Not for me, though.

It is indeed a game that a lot of people will not be engaged in for various reasons, and it does have a large sum of issues of it's own, but what just sucks is that instead of legitimate criticism regarding how it's rather excellent story was executed or how the pacing was handled are instead held back by arguments on whether or not it even is a game so people who like it will seem less legitimate and be easier sorted into the massive all-eveloping label of SJW
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;45298817]You're fine with earrings but they're the same as piercings, you again do the "I don't see the appeal of..." proving you're an ignorant person by not even reading the post I made. Tattoos and piercings, as same goes for clothing and jewelry are for the person's own personal comfort and style, it's not for you, a tattoo is for the person's intent, the significance of the tattoo is for them and them only and not for you to judge whether or not that person should've gotten or not a tattoo of their daugther's name or a more artistic tattoo with a deeper meaning to it, people value these things because they aren't idiots with keyboards on the internet with nothing to live for, it's not a dye on your skin.

It's a harmless opinion yet it judges the way people are in general, the way they look, that hasn't caused any harm ever?
The only thing I'm giving him shit for is the fact that he is constantly ignorant at what people say to him.
Explain being "heated".
i think tattoos are cool
nipple piercings are hot aswell.

you're typing with caps lock and you're saying dumb shit like "this is why no one likes you"
If swog said something like "people who wear tattoos are morons" then you can criticize him for being judgemental
what do you mean "typing with capslock"
I didn't say I think people with tattoos and/or piercing are morons nor did I judge them.
You're taking shit too far. Period.

I wrote 4 words in caps lock, are those words all you see?
It's not dumb shit when it's the truth, go ask people why they don't like Swog, go search the other posts about Swog explaining why they don't like him, come back and tell me it's dumb shit.
Just because he didn't insult people, doesn't mean he didn't say something ignorant, you can't tell me when and when I can't criticize someone, who the fuck are you?
Stop trying to protect someone just because you feel sorry for them, there are limits.

To his defense, he did say he didn't find it appealing, not that there were something wrong with the people who had them.

Those blue words in caps lock are a link you can click to see that swog hasn't learned from the last time that he tried to oversimplify anything
Basically swog assumes everything he doesn't like is meaningless, which is incredibly childish

Swog is either a massive troll or a really ignorant little kid and I'm not going to bother with it anymore, these are my two cents on him, people have already spoke about him, judge it as you like, I could give two fucks but I won't.

[QUOTE=Swog;45300348]Unpopular Opinion is a cesspool.[/QUOTE]
"I hate everything."
The fact that people are this willing to attack and constantly curbstomp Swog is really upsetting and shows how vicious this community can be at times
No, Gwoodman, this is an instance of exactly what I described in this thread earlier. Swog says some dumb things, but his opinion on Tattoos being worthless is not one of those dumb things (He never said people who got them were, just that he doesn't see the point in getting or having them). You went out of your way to attack them, and then to defend your attack when you got called out on it. Just add him to your ignore list already.
Sorry, I don't see the appeal in acknowledging other posts if they are criticizing me.

We're reading your posts and we don't think you have a valid point which is why we're saying you don't have a valid point.

That is true, personally though I couldn't ever go through with getting a Tattoo or piercing. I'm too much of a pussy for that.

Could you please elaborate here, I don't understand. What do you mean "this only applies to me"
Nirvana, its good music but it's not "Rolling Stone cover" good. Listening to them has become a guilty pleasure because of all the "hurr kurt is the rock martyr" nonsense I hear.

I think he's trying to justify it by saying that's how Swog acts, at least occasionally and we're only attacking him for acting like that.

Two wrongs don't make a right. It's that simple.

I don't think any of you has a valid point which is why I say you don't have a valid point.
Opinions in a nutshell, I don't like what you like, let's end this stupid drama, Swog will end up like everyone else.
I understand that they influenced a lot of popular bands today, but I fucking despise The Smiths.
[QUOTE=The Jack;45295254]I say racist, sexist, offensive, politicaly incorrect things all the time In real life, but only when they'd probably be laughed at.
And that's totally Ok.
Not sexist.
Not racist.
To force myself to be politicaly correct in this country would be wrong.
Also, only weak people are offended by the things i say.
Being 'offended' by humour is offensive.[/QUOTE]
this isn't exactly unpopular nor is it reasonable
