Gamer’s traditionally have less political sophistication than a dead dog. Recent highly visible gamer moves have included review bombing Helldivers, screaming about not being able to see both labia t the same time in Stellar Blade, and whatever that Sweet Baby/DEI thing I haven’t bothered to look at is. Idk what the scale of this roblox bs is, but i am interested in the phenomena of game rage campaigns where they get extremely self righteously mad over strange, often trivial shit and make it their entire life for a few days. Wtf is happening? Is this echoes of gamegate a decade later?
You basically make simplified games within the game engine/framework of roblox, then you can monetize it, so this described nonsense is confined to the roblox “place” “Welcome to Bloxburg”, some kind of life sim shit.
I never did manage to wrap my head around life sims, even back as far as GTA Life and various garry’s mod life sims.
Excluding when I was little and life sims let me do things I couldn’t in real life, the only time I’ve ever liked a life sim was “The friends of ringo ishikawa”, and that was for making me appreciate how much better it would be to try doing the productive activities depicted rather than waste time grinding for fake skills
