People lament about the death of the Nintendo cult classic from gamecube -wii era but thing is. Games like that still exist. Yall jusr ignore them
It’s annoying to post a list of fun games for a system and have someone comment there’s no “system sellers” in the list. So what? System sellers are great but there is fun to be had in games that may score in the average range, or sometimes even worse, as well.

I'm not a big fan of the "X character is good and Y character is evil" thing in 3H discussion because I think the setting is designed (well!) in a way that makes it so there is no one-stop easy solution to its problems and thus no flatly universal "good guy" that solves everything.

21. Related but internet in general has a huge generalization problem where people assume a community is all bad because of a few bad apples. Most of time a majority of community either isnt bad or isnt bad all the time and people just focus on the loud minoritu.

20. Fandoms can be awful and I completely understand not wanting to interact with them, but I find people who make a big deal of how they're above fandoms and dont need fandoms can be just as annoying, if not even moreso than toxic fans.

Man, given how every female FE lord tends to be a discourse magnet, I'm curious whether or not Leda and/or Theodora will cause huge ass discourse for the sole reason FE fans can't be normal about women.

19. Woobifying villains is good and fine, as long as you're aware of woobifying them.
It's harmless fun ad often done for mental health/comfort/projection reason you ain't hurting anyone if you imagine your blorbo as a sweetie regardless of canon.

Fire Emblem fans want it to be a game where you get hours of exposition during the main story coming from every single playable character while still somehow having permadeath and that's what the series has never been.

The high school that I graduated from had a huge walkout protest today with some of the staff saying close to half of the students in the entire school participated. Adolescents don't have many outlets for their voice so I hope we continue to see more like this and support the students walking out

Of course people like you want to scapegoat Miyamoto as if he's the big Nintendo boogey man he's not perfect but he isn't some villian then i used to think.
Keep in mind Miyamoto did say that they should go home for their health and the devs chose not to.

As a reminder and as warning: DO NOT PUNCH DOWN ON CYL LOSERS.
We had some great wins, but DO NOT kill the mood by using it to bash Engage, Engage fans, whoever.
I don’t care who it is, I WILL resort to mutes/blocks to save my peace if people start to kill the mood en masse.

Some people need to learn that them being bad at a game is not the same thing as the game being bad. Having a tough time with a game is not immediately indicative of its quality. It might mean you just need to improve your own skills. And if you don't want to, that's fine, but don't blame the game.

Truth be told, it also bothers me immensely when people act like video game remakes, or any remakes for that matter, are inherently bad.
Personally I like the idea of comparing both versions to see what qualities theu both have. None of this vs crap.
We all have our preferences but you shouldn't ever invalidate the original when a shiny new remake comes around
We kinda got that with RE4 seeing people love and enjoy both equally.

This video is probably the primary example of how damaging these mindless rant videos can be. It because there's people with so little individual thought that they decide to take the opinion of someone they've never met as fact instead of forming their own opinions. Just watch the show yourselves!
