I don’t care about the fediverse being successful, I care about it being useful. In fact, I wish for the tiktok “influencers”, the click bait “journalists” and the drama driven “creators” to stay in their own propaganda funded hellhole

I mean, de gustibus non disputandum est, so if one likes battle royales one likes battle royales and that’s ok, but I don’t really agree your argument.

It gives me weird vibes, kinda like saying that lightly bullying someone helps the victim build character.

To me, wasting my time is, in a sense, a form of abuse.

Regardless, as I said I’m perfectly ok with people liking this genre, and I’m more than happy that they get to play what they like. What I don’t like is the fact that it’s getting harder and harder to find shooters that aren’t battle royale or contain battle royale elements.

I can’t even think of a somewhat modern shooter with a deathmatch mode off the top of my head, but to be fair I haven’t looked super hard in the last few years

Rome wasn’t built in a day. But people forget that it also didn’t collapse in a day.

Reddit higher ups have shown their hand. Will this end reddit? Not in the short term I think, but I believe whatever reddit will be in a year or two will be very different from what reddit was up until now

I want to upvote you a thousand times. I mean, I don’t have 900 hours logged in a battle royale game, but I have tried a few.

The suckiest part to me, the bad, is how fucking long it takes to go from joining a match to the next.

I suck at these games, and that’s fine by me. I realise that being good comes from experience, and experience comes from failure. I know I need to fail one thousand times before I am decent, and I know I need to fail ten thousand times before I am good.

Therefore, if the gameplay experience is to wait two minutes to find a game to join, wait a minute for everyone to queue, wait for a minute to hit land after the drop, run around searching for anything to use for 5 minutes, run around searching for anyone to fight for 5 more minutes, and then lose the fight? I just spent 15 minutes doing nothing.

Compare that to a shooter that has a game mode in which I can respawn in 5 to 10 seconds. Much more fun.

I hate battle royales because I very much dislike the gameplay loop, but because they are popular every new shooter is a BR. Bah.

You are doing the lord’s work
