Like, no, the algorithmic tools the studios used to speed up the line work in the Spider-verse movies is NOT interchangeable with the slop-machines spewing garbage onto video sites.

You're right and you should say it

The worst example was the same people trashing Game Cube & PS2 games for being ugly calling Oblivion gorgeous.

I still feel an urge to fight about it but these days everyone agrees that Oblivion is a weird & kinda ugly looking game and that's part of its CHARM.

Yeah, sorry! I just can't muster the energy to defend OoT from what is mostly fair criticism against one of the most overhyped games of my childhood.

Also I remember the frustration of the mid 00s listening to people praising anything with normal maps for being pretty so... tech demos...

Honestly crazy watching sites do this shit still.

All these grown adults expecting people to walk them through how society works from first principals. And they still kick and scream at every new piece of info.

My main through when fighting it was: This is one of the best bullfight bosses I've ever seen.

Yeah, it has only two moves but it turns out they're real good moves when they move that fast and hit that hard! Gave me an actual feeling like I was becoming a matador.

Yeah it's so freaking frustrating. It feels like just setting out some ground rules for clearly defined tags would serve the community's actual needs better.

But maybe I'm just another weirdo who doesn't see why would-be authoritarians and hand-wringers need to be catered to.
