Friendly reminder that progressive gamers are the norm and Chuds are just loud when they cry

Gamers and humans alike.

They like to measure games' success by concurrent players on Steam, so here's a quick stat: Slay the Spire 2 peaked at over 150K concurrent players today, while their (purported) anti-woke poster child Marvel Rivals peaked at about 90K. Anita wins.

For those struggling to see the rainbow

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 40 points 1 day ago

Thanks. That's a pretty subtle rainbow. And I like it.

Oh man, that's almost completely lost to compression in the post...

Wow that's truly unacceptable. I now have to gouge my son's eyes out.

REEEEEEE A FAINT RAINBOW THAT BARELY SHOWS UP IN SCREENSHOTS ISN’T SUBTLE ENOUGH FOR ME. WHERES MY STRAIGHT WHITE MALE REPRESENTATION MONTH!?!?!

uj/ The devs should leave it there permanently. I’m done with these chuds trying to erase people and they should be trolled infinitely.

A faint, barely visible rainbow on a screen you spend maybe five seconds on each play session? How dare. The wokes have gone too far!

[–] Wimopy@feddit.uk 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I could've launched the game, but I had to go to the original Reddit post to see the rainbow pic. I don't actually know if I would've noticed that if it wasn't pointed out. "not-so-subtle" indeed. /uj

Maybe it'll get stronger as the month progresses?

I guess this is what happens when you stop reading books at 12 years old in favor of CoD or whatever other AAA-dogshit-jingling-keys-for-10-hours game you can think of. I bet this guy loves Assassin's Creed (still). Assuming it isn't ragebait.

Edit: I think it's pretty safe to say that if you have a problem with indie games being 'woke' then you should go ahead and forfeit your right to vote. Personally I think they should be forced to but 'muh freedum' with these people.

Did they write that post with ChatGPT???

Or I did hear that some "chatgpt-isms" might be becoming more a part of language due to people reading lots of generated text.

G*mers where a mistake

Don't tell them about Naraka Bladepoint. Their ideas about China challenging the woke West and the increasingly woke Japan might get shattered.
