what is going on

I love Austin. But the dude is running Waypoint like a Tumblr account.
 
Is a bit unfair to ask for a kibosh on the waypoint chatter / insults here?

Would be nicer if we could just roll past stuff that we don't like rather than being kinda mean about it.

All the side stuff in Deus Ex is good though. Especially the murder mystery.
yeah

even if the main story was a wash, the side content was really good and I loved my time with the game because of it

but from what I played (and heard), Dishonored 2's story seems really lacking

Would be nicer if people would just stop posting their stuff on here. Isn't there a thread for them on GAF? Or just go to Tumblr.

I don't think I have seen anything mean. Also some people seem to misunderstand this inhere. I love Austin and Patrick. I also really like Danielle. I wish them all the best and so far I thought they have done pretty well with Waypoint. This Waypoint High stuff though is super weird even for them. Itjust seems like a terrible idea that somehow got through the brainstorming phase.

I'll at least give them credit for doing something different for their end of year coverage, especially if it ends up finding an audience that the other game sites don't attract. Waypoint has only been around for a few months so them doing a normal GOTY presentation wouldn't mean much. But yeah, for me the fanfic stuff completely missed the mark.
 
man

we're rapidly approaching the point in internet culture where there is a huge divide between shippers/fanfic/all that shit and people who think that's dumb/unhealthy/whatever

I never thought that in 2016 the old men sitting on their stoops would be complaining about people fantasizing about the relationships fictional people would have as if it was rock & roll in the 50s and 60s

and I never thought that I'd approach old man status so soon

We should seriously stop talking about Waypoint. It's too divisive of a site at this point to actually lead to decent conversations, and there's already a thread for it.

I have no idea why some of you are so against Waypoint talk when it's more relevant than half the fucking bullshit that gets talked about in here, especially considering there are two ex-Giant Bomb people on that site and Austin still pops into GBEast occasionally.

That's what Valve WANTS you to believe.

It's not Giant Bomb. That literally it. I'm sure Waypoint has got its fans and some of the stuff they put out is great. I'm also sure that there's enough room on the internet to talk about Waypoint. Like in the Waypoint thread.

People can fantasize about movie/comic/video game characters all they want. I think it's dumb but WHO CARES. Video games are dumb too.

I love how you change your avatar and I miss your Christmas avatar already.

People can ship characters all they want. They have an emotional attachment to the characters and that's fine. Who cares. People here ship the GB crew all the time and I won't judge you....much.

What does 'ship' mean? I never heard this expression until like 2 weeks ago and now I can't get away from it.

Oh, like relation'ship'?

I feel very connected to you right now.

FlashGAF taught me what shipping is but I still don't really grasp how important it is to some people.

I ship HumanTrashcan and bad opinions.

yeah that's great and all but you have some topics that end up being like 30% that sometimes and it's insufferable. it's like Persona threads devolving into waifu wars. nobody cares what your headcanon is but you. it's a weirdly selfish thing to do in what should be discussions.

You're not wrong.

imho one of the reasons people talk about shipping is not that they want to force their ship on other people but because they want to find other people to talk about their ship with. whether that's people who agree with them or want to fight them is probably besides the point.

But why do people have to be so serious about this stuff? We fight over video games and we know it's dumb. Is is like that?
