I hate how slop has entered the zeitgeist

No longer does it mean something produced with little thought or skill, but rather "thing i do not like"

Turnslop, friendslop, wordslop...

How about you stop jamming slop into your fucking mouth and learn to actually examine things!

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 32 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Sounds like you’ve got a problem with… anti-slop slop.

based and sloppilled

It's the enshittification of slop

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago (3 children)

That's how the internet goes now. No idea how to stop this. Seems like it speeds up every time. How many years were people using media literacy in an accurate way before it became a way to say "this person doesn't like a show I like"?

this is violence

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The worst part is I think we started it. I don't remember slop being used to describe content until I joined the chapo enjoyers community on reddit, then it was all PPB, post hog and snouts descending to the trough.

This is an issue of media literacy and of regular literacy.

How much slop could a slop trough trough if a slop trough could trough slop?

I'm honestly pretty mad that the entire world is trying so hard to make me care about opinions made by reactionaries. Reactslop is bad. No opinion has ever been above a C-tier while being made by a reactionary, and yes that includes Chomsky and Zizek. I normally just ignore reactslop but this one Empire's massive cultural dominance feels like it's shoving it down my throat.

The good version.

[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 48 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I had hand mobility issues and turn based games were pretty much the only ones I could play for a couple years. Now I play them 'cause I can smoke catastrophic amounts of weed in between turns

[–] uSSRI@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I always love loading up a save and having to spend 20 minutes figuring out what the hell i was doing when I was playing stoned lol

[–] juniper@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to write a comment about how close to home your comment hits lol

[–] The_hypnic_jerk@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yeah I love turned based because I don't necessarily want to be like locked in and engaged while playing a game, but I still like the vibes of an RPG. If I've got the energy then fromsoft has my heart, but for other times shit like this is great

That's such a good idea. I'm so shit at the RTS games I've been playing for 20 years because I play them with my family and we're all high as shit.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 35 points 4 days ago

"turnslop" is amazing ragebait

[–] refolde@hexbear.net 41 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Why can't these weirdos just make like an RPG and turn based?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 40 points 5 days ago (7 children)

This is 4chan /v/ contrarian brain gone wild. "Turnslop" literally no one in history has called combat this you deranged weirdo.

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 36 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's like a comic book fan calling literature "wordslop".

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago

Oh, I have to find that 4chan post about the guy being upset that the book his friend recommended to him was an actual book, not a comic

It's funny that people internalize advertisement as the entire world of other people trying to force them to do something. That's actually one or two companies invading your internet space to convince you to buy something. It's not even cultural dominance. The game awards are a corporate affair, a big commercial.

If people don't have a socialist explanation for how things work, then they are left to make this shit up.

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 21 points 4 days ago

Would Miss Piggy really do that? Get on stage and sell me products?

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

"some things aren't for you and that's okay" is a concept so foreign to some people you'd think it just touched down from outer fucking space

Turn based games are based, it's right there in the name!

[–] save_vs_death@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

as opposed to real cringe games

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Nothing with turn-based combat is above C-tier, that's why Go has only been played for a scant three millennia

these are words from somebody who will never know the joys of XCOM 2 and playing dress-up with your soldiers

why are all these games and movies and tv shows I don't like continuing to fuck my face

[–] MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

Aren't a lot of the oldest games in history, before computers existed, turn based strategy though? Chess, the infamous "turnslop" game.

As a turn based hater, fuck this guy. Play what you want man, no one is forcing you to play anything.

[–] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I was a turn based hater until I played In to the Breach

I once thought turn based bad until i played something other than pokemon, final fantasy and persona. I then discovered that turn based can actually be really fun

Do people like this go driving, see a billboard ad for something like an RV dealer and go “I’m not interested in buying an RV! WHY IS THIS BEING SHOVED DOWN MY THROAT!?”

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I do get mad when I see advertising.

It was actually the other way, action was pushed into every genre that originally started as turn based (or at least giving you time to think) - strategy, rpg, logic, adventure etc etc.

“This feels like! It makes me feel! Feelings!”

If they could ever hear themselves it would be impressive

My hands tremble as I come to understand my power. A simple suffix able to drain the joy out of anything it touches.
