Gaming posts on here are so chill. There’s no Console wars, there’s no crazy people calling everything Woke/Mid/Trash. It’s just people wanting to have fun.

NGL, I'll probably sound a bit bad saying this, but "woke" does exists and it does hurt modern gaming to an extent. What I hate are those Anti-Woke grifters who like to paint anything they don't like as "woke." It makes a mockery of proper criticism
Well, I think it's because the app is new and toxic people haven't arrived. I hope that they won't ever come here because we need a peaceful platform for once in our lives
I honestly think bots on social media pit so many ppl against each other abt games. Thats just me after finding out about the kind of bots they had making profiles lol. Im so glad bluesky is as open and chill tbfr :3
Everything is woke now. And dance everything sucks. But at the same time only bad games are bad because of woke and but when game is good like BG3 for some reason that's not woke.
I never understood the aggression against what people play. As a friend of mine says, "Don't yuck on someone's yum." Play what you enjoy. That's the point of video games.
Fr, its the first i havent been scared to post anywhere except on tiktok, i feel like if i accidentally say the wrong thing on twitter ill end up on a memorial page😭
this is why I came here. I logged into xitter for the first time in a long time and my feed was just him. him. him. then more of them, and more gaslighting. Logged out, cleared my cookies, found bluesky.
Being able to preemptively block entire groups of people is great. But I suggest using yes as more of a guideline than a hardline. You muggy might always agree with the moderator.
I hear opinions I "don't like", all the time.
I'm not in the mood to spend any more of my downtime trying to explain simple reality to dipshits.
You won, now fuck off to Elmo's social media bullshit before it dies.
The fact that in your paranoia you think I voted Trump is kind of just proving my point, the last thing you need is further insulation from dissenting opinion
Nah, I'm done with people calling me a troon, woke, hamas-lover, and a bunch of slurs I won't be repeating here. Differing opinions is one thing. Flat out nazi/racism/abuse shit is another.
I strongly suspect you don't actually see any difference between disagreement and "flat out nazi/racism/abuse," when prompted, you'd probably just lump it all together. Can you provide an example of a racial or gender based issue someone can disagree with you about, but you wouldn't call hateful?
Easy. Let's take the current Israel situation. Someone could disagree with my stance on Israel's aggression without calilng me a Hamas Whore, or Antisemite. It's not that hard, really.
No there is lol. I just joined just made an account I'm transgender I don't even care if people believe that I still have friends that don't vibe with it and I'm cool with that but I made my account and there's haters on here I met them this morning.
It is probably my favorite thing about this app. Everyone I’ve seen on here just wants to talk about the things they like and support other people in doing so
They talk about the “woke mind virus” all the time but not being able to enjoy literally anything because you think it’s “woke” in some way is the real mind virus that leads to isolation and misery.
Agreed reminds me of early reddit days when you could go on a sub and unabashedly praise a game and not get shit from maladjusted weirdos. I love that I can talk about how much I love ff13 and it's sequels and not get accused of having autism as if that universally makes my takes bad.
What I like about Bluesky is that it reminds me of the early days of social media when people were interested in things, and were supportive. I’m not naming names, but I’m so sick of online toxicity. I feel more relaxed here.
I saw this in the real world a few years ago. Two guys got way too heated over their XBox vs PlayStation debate at a party. Everybody got quiet, they were ready to throw down.
Honestly I love good video games discourse. Some ppl like something, some don't, and then that's just games we can generally agree are bad (Kong anyone?) but at least have a discussion without baiting clicks or having an agenda.
I have to agree I love the discourse and discussions. But hate how it always devolved in to who can insult the other person the best on Twitter. Then that group of people calling everything woke 🤢.
It's the same as console wars, never understood. Granted I always played games on PC mainly (I started with the good old commodore 64) and yes the dei/woke/dog whistle stuff and ppl like Grummz, I loathe it. I prefer normal discussion.
Like I'm playing DA Veilguard and I'm not blind to its flaws.
I’m also playing it doing a mage which is rare for me and I having fun so far. I was going wait til I finished my platinum playthrough of inquisition but it just eventually became a slog to get through.
I got platinum on Inquisition when it first came out, it does have a bit of grind behind it.
And I'm playing a rogue in DAVG and having a blast with it. Mostly playing ranged and being bad at aiming 😅 I'm closing on chapter 3 without spoiling anything.
No idea what chapter I’m in I been doing the side quests and currently at level 35. Just beat a level 50 dragon like 3 levels ago davrim really comes in handy with the shield.
But I prefer just discussing stuff with other ppl about what works for me (and others) and what doesn't. Instead of making lists on Steam about what game might be 'woke' and should be skipped because of that, like 💀
100% support discussion of personal preference in games. No game is 100% perfect. As someone on the other side of ideology, would it be safe to respectfully share game opinionions on bluesky without automatically being labeled phobic etc. Cause that happened alot on X with me personally. For example
I've never outright hated or trashed a game for it's message but have pointed out if I felt something was forced and out of place from a writing stand point to me personally. But mostly focus on flow, mechanics, world building, continuity (franchise sequels) etc.
I just spend a day playing cult of the lamb and I have finally taught my followers to USE THE FUCKING WHORESTRANGLING TOILET INSTEAD OF SHITTING ON THE CLOWNBUGGERING GROUND
Yeah! I've posted two or 3 different places about playing sims and fallout shelter, and i have not had a single incel insult me for playing the greatest games in the history of humanity!
The only game genesis did better was MK3 but only if you had a six button controller. Nothing on sega can tough super Mario land or Zelda. It can’t be touched. SNES all the way.
No question, good games. But if you can pick one system would you rather play Zelda and Mario or mlh and road rash ?? It seems like an easy choice to me.
Honestly didn't get into Zelda until Ocarina of Time. Mario is an awesome game, and Mario World is worthy of getting the system for. Maybe we just need to swap systems every week or so. 😉
That sounds nice. I just made the transition over. Or maybe not *transition* specificially but I wanted to see what this was like. Meeting a lot of really nice people so far.
I get the same level of interaction on my posts either way so it's very nice clicking on gaming posts and not having to scroll past all the people either calling it trash, calling it woke, calling OP trash or woke, or accounts that are bots. Makes interacting with others way nicer lol
I encourage folks to say something wasn’t for them. Okay, so you think the Xbox was cooler. You can just say you prefer the Xbox and PlayStation wasn’t for you. It doesn’t make the PlayStation bad or the Xbox “better”. Different people like different things. It’s fine.
without making it a console war, can someone still help me out in choosing between a computer and playstation 4 (for games like ‘life is strange’, ‘fallout’ and ‘red dead redemption 2’) and choosing between epicgames and steam for some games that are on both platforms?🥹
If you don't know what you're doing, go pre built. Based on your games, I'm also assuming 1080p, not 4k/1440p. A good black Friday deal around $500 would suffice (just the tower) it would get you by with some modern games and more than enough headroom for PS4. A RTX 3060 would be more than adequate.
I tell you... Things haven't been the same since the Commodore 64. Sure, it took a while to load the eight disk sides to play Pool of Radiance, but *that* was gaming!
This is true with every category in this app at the moment, but is it guaranteed to stay that way? There’s nothing wrong about having different opinions and rationally discussing them after all 🤷♂️
I LOVE DRAGON AGE! 💜 (granted I have only played a small bit of Origins) but I am currently working on Inquisition! Who’s your favorite character and what class are you? ☺️
Console wars are only a thing if there's actual differences between consoles. PS5/Pro and XBOX Series X/S are all exactly the same and have the same games as Steam. Nintendo Switch at least has exclusives. If there is still a console war, it's Switch vs. Steam Deck. :p
I mean Playstation & Nintendo are peak. Xbox is and has been for a while now, straight trash. Their golden days of the 360 came to an end long ago, sadly.
Console wars are so silly now.
Play what you want on whatever you can play it on.
For me I am getting so drained by people on FB fighting about the ps5 pro...
Ok we get it Final Fantasy 7 looks amazing.
I never understood the console wars. Why defend a console with such fervour when it's abundantly clear both Sony and Microsoft couldn't give two shits about their users. Yet people seem to love defending these billion dollar companies when they wouldn't lift a finger for you.
I think the Palworld devs put it best when they said “if you truly hate Palworld (or can be replaced with any other game)… stop thinking about it. Who wants to dedicate time and energy to things they don’t like?”
Im not a gamer, sadly could never get used to the controllers past the Sega console lolol ( omg that’s embarrassing) But, peeps having fun is great to witness
Calling games trash is fine (just an opinion). But the console stanning and woke fear isn't even opinions. I love bantz but how the fuck am I supposed to have a back and forth against that??
Facts! We’ve let the 4chan incels into a neutral playing field for way too long. It’s 2016 gamer gate x100 with the amount of propaganda these idiots push
I am very interested in finding gamers over here, I had a whole network on the other place, but over time it became infected by some sort of idiotic awfulness, seriously someone is going to have to do some studies on the gaming to red pill pipeline.

Socialism. Got it.
If Bluesky gets popular enough, shitty people will start using it, too.

On Xitter though? Yeah, no.
And eventually I saved enough money from my job at McDonald's to get two 1541 disc drives so I could copy as many floppy discs as I wanted.

I have played and finished all DAs
So that's nice
I've had some questionable takes at the other place, but here it's a clean slate, and I hope to keep myself in check.
Video games are for everyone.
I really wish for companies to come around and get older titles available for cross-play on a higher percentage. ✨
SO DID YOU GUYS KNOW THAT SONICX Shadow Generations IS WOK-
*Get shot out back*
....What do mean that's a different kind of sonic x shadow??
No hard feelings
Glad this and Cara are the only places I engage the general public.
Genesis or SNES which one should we get out to replay this winter? SNES had the better shadowrun, but Genesis has Sonic...
Happy?
Your mom...
Happy? 🤣

on our Bsky shores,
then we will eliminate them,

Play what you want on whatever you can play it on.

I love how humble bluesky is compared to that
I don't know how to interact with people who haven't resort to disparaging remarks about my mom.
im glad, exclusives and dumb "wars" are very bad for the customer
