Oh, this happened in the gaming community

Burger King bought Tim Hortons! Now how am I supposed to assert my national identity if Americans own my favorite disgusting powder coffee and stale doughnut franchise?!

Didn't they relocate the headquarters of BK to Canada because of lower corporate taxes or something?

It wasn't that long ago when pretty much the entire video game industry was in a massive slander-filled console war where it was less about promoting your products and more about asserting how your competitors are sodomizing your mother and replacing your dog with a Korean refugee. Pardon me if I find a squabble over an indie game that ten people have heard about is entirely underwhelming, especially when the whole concept of indie games is basically a console generation old.

b-but muh journalistic integrities

k bro. Keep caring about trivial bullshit.

I will! Thank you for your permission, my lord. I will not disappoint!

No but seriously, it's possible to care about multiple things at once. Including a combination of "trivial bullshit" and "more urgent issues".

I absolutely agree. It's like when people say "but we can't go to mars/the moon/outer space, we have too many problems here!!"

[idlehands]

I think that would be a great reason to go to Mars. Fuck it, let's try this whole human civilization thing again, see if we can get it right.

Y'know, I thought better of some people in this thread before reading it.

"Why are you caring about dumb video game shit when there are worse problems in the world?" is basically the same as "omg stop complaining about your life there are people who have it way worse." GJ sinking to the level of shitlords on Facebook with your faulty logic.

That shit is dumb. It's entirely reasonable to care about things pertaining to one of your hobbies (ie video games), regardless of whether or not you also care about other things happening in the world. People are capable about caring about more than one thing at a time, and big international problems do not make smaller problems go away or stop being problems.

-1 Jorick Respect Points for Dervish and Idlehands. I'd also deduct points from Sable, but I have no idea who the fuck he/she is so they're already at zero. Keep up the good work, fuckbunts.

Can I get a +1 for my post, Jorick-senpai? I know that asking for it would bring me right back down a point, but that's okay with me.
