Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I fucking hate modern gaming
Don't buy AAA games at release, and instead try out popular indie titles. They're usually a quarter of the price and some of them have become my favourite games of all time. Indie games have small teams of passionate devs who have total creative control.
AAA games will typically release a "game of the year" edition a year or so after release with twice the amount of content the original game had for half the price.
SAY NO MORE! I'm on it, chief!
They also have 1/100th the bugs.
Nowadays buying games at release is doing yourself a disservice. You pay way more for way less than someone 6+ months later who gets it on sale with fixes already done

Great! But do they have memes?
If you wait they do
But then you'll miss out on the pre-order exclusives. How can you even play the game if you don't get that car with the special dickbutt livery? How will you defeat enemies if you don't get that special cabbage-shooting gun?
I never seen a problem with Sony games actually.
The exception to the Nintendo rule is Scarlet and Violet. That game was extremely buggy and absolutely unpolished when it came out. Yet compared to other triple AAA titles of coming out around the same time, it looked like a game with almost no glitches whatsoever.
Now it’s… slightly less buggy and still absolutely unpolished.
I hate how Nintendo doesn’t apply the same standard of quality to GF.
There are hundreds of awesome games available. If all you're doing is buying the few AAA bug ridden and money grabbing games that come out each year you're doing yourself a huge disservice.
never did. newest game I own is doom eternal from 2020 edit:grammar
Nice. I've heard good things about that one. I'll probably pick it up someday.
But yeah. Indie is where it's at.
Sometimes, I guess. What percentage of them ever get beyond years of early access limbo and actually end up releasing as finished games? What percentage of those actually end up either being any better than typical AAA games or offer a significant amount of play time?
Yeah, the good indie games are good, but indie games are no more likely to be especially good, or ever get finished at all, than AAA games are.
You're right. Don't play any indie games because not all of them are good. 👍.
What was the point of your comment?
My point is that it's stupid as fuck to rightly shit on part of the industry that mostly just churns out trash while verbally jerking off over another part that's only marginally better, if it's actually any better at all.
Work on your reading comprehension.
Aww someone needs a nap
Don't buy at release, be a patient gamer. Comes with benefits too.
This seems pretty relevant
Not playing Ubisoft games as a rule helps. Also works with EA, Activision Blizzard, and all mobile games.
havent played a single mobile game since like 2019
real (my passion for gaming has slowly atrophied from childhood as capitalism has taken hold, while passion for creating anything more than a busted cash-grab has long gone)
