    thinking abt @saintwalker98's thoughts about the balkanization of gaming discourse away from any kind of coherent anti-corporatist message toward a more lowbrow "hardcore gnat vs art gamer" message: honestly it's the AC:NH/Minecraft/Stardew Valley crowd I vibe with least of all

        The second video gaming as a medium drifted more towards this "fuck good writing, build a house and have your friends over" paradigm, I felt more alienated from it than I had ever been before That's not my ambition, in reality or in fantasy, I'm sorry

        It wouldn't be such a problem except I've often felt more frequently castigated by dedicants to these games for who I am than I have by hardcore gamers, speedrunners, people who only like short VNs about coming out of the closet to your grandma, or even Gaters

        I think what I resent is the tacit idea that this genre of game is exceptionally meditative in sort of crypto-eastern pop-Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh kind of way That your little island in New Horizons is just a blue-collar Zen garden and you're attaining enlightenment and I'm not

        You, making cute little costumes and hedge mazes, are much smarter and more productive than the lowly Penelope, who plays STRIDER 2 That's fucked, man That's actually a whole lot more fucked than being scorned by speedrunners or people who like DEPRESSION QUEST or CoD gamers

        Say what you will about "oldtype" gamers but they're not LESS well-adjusted about their gaming than the new blood or the converts Or even "casual" gamers; somebody who plays some goof-ass puzzle game on their phone will generally be more well-adjusted than a Minecraft obsessive

        "Garden gaming" has become this weird cult of enlightenment in this way that I never saw in gaming before Animal Crossing et al Nobody ever played Sim City 2000 and came away from it thinking they were superior thinkers for it, but cute animal villagers somehow instigated this

        there's also this idea that these games are "apolitical" and "wholesome" in a way that other stuff isn't, which, like... lmao As if Notch could ever make something apolitical

        Vapor Weyve Retweeted Philby

        I would generally agree with this, but for the fact that I've seen these people look down even on visual novel players/devs Like it's not the violence per se, because these games are about agriculture and colonization, which are both inherently violenthttps://twitter.com/fiddlersgreen92/status/1329128035531026433 …

        I sometimes can’t help but think it links back to this little movement in gaming, this call for “less aggressive” or “less violent” videogames, implicitly hinging their demands on a moral crux. https://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1329126282488066051 …

        Tempting as it is to link the Stardew Valley obsession to the various puriteenical "make everything soft uwu" movements we see everywhere I don't think the violence is really the focus here It's the idea these games facilitate bullshit self-help ideas of introspective betterment

        People, even self-styled "self-aware" people, are not, in my experience, sufficiently critical of what kinds of ideas of themselves the things they purchase and play are selling to them

        This is a very good point these people aren't "gamers" so much as a diaspora of a different and much older clade of Highly Annoying Person into the woodwork of gaminghttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1329233572486541312 …

        Well these people are just the gaming manifestation of "cottage people", who have always been all kinds of extra in meatspace -- there's no reason virtual cottage people would be different https://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1329115725156462593 …
