I couldn’t give a shit if a game has been out 40+ years YOU CAN TALK ABOUT A GAME WITHOUT MAJOR PLOT POINTS, TWISTS AND SPOILERS AHHHH!!! Stop being shit people because you gotta let us know you’ve played it and you know what happens, it does not get you cool points. 🤡

I'm always super careful, because that first experience is the one that matters the most.
Feel for em. 😔
Bro avoided everything all this time for some ass hat to meantion That! Bit.
On his post about starting the game.
I don't know how to see because it's just gone entirely from the thread for all I think.
It's fine that you don't want spoilers. But to call ppl who just talk about games shit ppl. 🤦
But to call someone out as a shit head?
From what I saw, that person seemed pretty genuinely excited in what they said about the game.
That makes them a shithead? It's a video game, it's not important, at all.
Yes. spoiling a game, movie, TV show, etc, makes you a shithead.
What we have to realize as a collective is not everyone values video games or entertainment so highly. One person sharing their opinion of the game, with the "bells & whistles" does not make them shitty.
Words matter. That's ultimately my point. Call them out, sure, but no need to be calling them a shitty person.
Tell them it's not cool, in their post or even sub post.
If someone says hey I just started this game and someone says cool this character dies, that is not talking about the game, that is intentionally spoiling and you know this so what are you doing? Come on dude be better, not boring.
For a community that says they are super uber positive respectful people (which I see as a false flag anyway, cause nobody is that positive).
Don't like spoilers, stay off the internet. Don't make public posts. Don't try to curate a billion followers.
Don't say a character dies right when someone says they just started something and if you don't like being called a shithead for doing it, stay off the internet!
👉👈😢
But yeah it is really easy to not talk major plot points in a public place.
It was 22 years old at the time. I knew it would tank the engagement, and I knew most people had already seen it; but that doesnt matter. Someones first experience matters more than our yapping.
Sucks especially when you just started playing it , your mind can no longer come up with what might happen as you just know how it ends !
It's like they assume we have all this free time to watch everything !
It's not like sb voluntarily googled an old game and got mad when they came across spoilers.
At least the really REALLY amazing games don't get ruined just because you know the twist.
Friend Posts: hey I’m playing this game
Random: OH SO THIS PERSON DIES THIS PERSON DOES THIS BLAH BLAH
What happened to "Awesome, can't wait to hear your thoughts when you're done" ?
This is me to gaming social media every, single, day.
But if you haven't played a 40 year old game that gets accidentally spoiled, it's also on you and can't get mad for not playing it sooner. 👀
And also just a dick move 😅
But I'm just saying you can't be annoyed at someone if you put off a media for years then see it spoiled somewhere.
and it's weird telling people cos the reaction is either "I know" or "you just spoiled it for me"
There's so many better ways to handle that than blurting out the entire plot and not a little bit but two fucking posts.
It's about civility and respect
I've got the same policy when I'm playing a new game and I HEAVILY enforce it if I'm streaming said game
"If you spoil important points in the game, you will get banned"
I don't care
/HEAVY SARCASM LOL
LOOK I EVEN MADE THOSE SPOILERS UP JUST BECAUSE THATS HOW EASY IT IS TO NOT TALK ABOUT SPOILERS
If you mention a spoiler in your own posts, it's bad enough. But to go into someone's post and purposely spoil it for them, that's just disgusting behaviour.
It’s hard but you want people to get the same chills you did going through certain story beats
Nah, I hear that. At least give a heads up.
I feel like my mantra is if a game is less than 5 years old, I basically avoid spoilers.
Past that, I'll let people know if spoilers are coming or not, and let them dip out if that matters.
Sammmy: hey I’ve just started part 2
Some random: so here’s all the spoilers for you. 🧍🏼♀️
But that game is still very recent! There's no real excuse to be casual about it under any circumstance.
… it’s not fucking hard 😂😂
I liked the game a lot but the discourse during launch made me feel bad about discussing it on twitter.
Glad I don't have to worry about that no more 😄
I’ve never understood people spoiling with the rationale, “it’s an old game.”
We all constantly agree that there’re soooo many games out there. We all have massive backlogs. Nobody should be expected to have played every old game to this point.
And especially with so many older games getting remasters and remakes nowadays, many of us are gonna experience *a lot* of these games for the first time.
Imagine being excited for a game and some random literally spoils it for you thats the one thing you shouldnt do!! sucking stupid 💀
Sadly it doesn't stop people's mindsets being shitty but it would help things along.
This is literally a thing that i've seen people use as a counterargument 🤦♂️
But yes, it isn't hard to just talk about a game without going into plot at all.
You don’t need spoiler tags just don’t talk about the major plot points and talk about literally anything else why is this hard for people.
That'a just absolutely shitty.
Thankfully my memory is short but it’s a hypekiller for sure.
It’s always why I rarely share my main game I’m playing unless it’s brand new😭
Spoiling is rood >:(
If it's any slight consolation, I had the same game unwillingly spoiled for me pre-release by an ex-friend thanks to internet leaks and still loved the game regardless 🙏
All you need to do is put yourself in their shoes and think of you would have liked to know what happens before you experienced it for the first time 😤
Hey I’m starting a new game and some random being like OH SO THIS PERSON DIES AND SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER. 😂😂
Person: Did you get to where *Blank* dies?
Me:......why?.....
It’s so easy for people to of missed a piece of media
So even if a game is old and "everyone knows already," nah, not everyone does, and some people want the surprise/shock/feeling of learning the plot twists first-hand themselves.
It was very clear this was his first time playing..
