@ZoeQuinnzel 100% agree, but I think we could do with fewer AAA manshooter-kill-a-thon-wargasms
Another shooting another video game blame movement. BRB screaming "correlation does not equal causation" in to the night til my lungs burst

@phosfiend I wholeheartedly agree. I am beyond sick of our medium only being seen by people outside it as killing spree simulators -
@ZoeQuinnzel@phosfiend I would play more shooters if they were less realistic and more like this tho http://i.imgur.com/iufeu.jpg -
@robrotic@phosfiend woah. I'm with you on that. -
@ZoeQuinnzel@phosfiend Serious Sam was actually the game that got me into development (in 2002) because it came with an editor. I made maps -
@robrotic@phosfiend map editors are the gateway drug -
@ZoeQuinnzel@robrotic@phosfiend My gateway drug was the form editors in Visual Basic 4; step aside number munchers, I've got BUTTONS. -
@schonstal@robrotic@phosfiend My gateway drug was an incubator, followed by a night of hanging out with game devs that really hooked me

@ZoeQuinnzel Not that I'd ever dare suggest that violent videogames reduce/moderate real-world violent behavior based on a silly graph. -
@celsiusgs because you're a rational person who understands how logic works -
@ZoeQuinnzel The irony is I will likely eventually be driven insane by illogical morons. -
@celsiusgs funny how that works!

@ZoeQuinnzel the problem is how shooty gun games tie into the overarching gun culture that leads to these incidents -
@PontiusPyrite it's a symptom though not a cause -
@ZoeQuinnzel yeah p much. my main point is just that its not wholly unrelated as a lot of gamers want to claim -
@PontiusPyrite yeah The problem is the attitude of wanting to be a huge badass that kills all of the things that triple A game dev caters to

@ZoeQuinnzel I'd say there's not even a correlation: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/12/data-helps-rebut-the-violent-video-games-cause-shootings-argument/ … -
@DevDaddyNick Of course, it's just the name of the specific fallacy of "well this guy did this thing so it must've caused it!" -
@ZoeQuinnzel Oh yeah, I'm not arguing that, just saying that they don't even have a real correlation, so their jump to causation is asinine.

@ZoeQuinnzel "Videogame Violence Claims Another Victim" -
@celsiusgs I wanna make a game where that pops up over the head of every soldier you kill -
