Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮Of course this one is sticking up for Elon, what a surprise 🙃

🪛@gamingonlinux the track record of not being a narcissistic man child
marius@gamingonlinux is that going to stop you playing his games though?
@mariusor I actually don't play his games
@gamingonlinux fair enough.
Despite hating most of Blow's twitter and a lot of his Twitch rants, his esthetics and dedication as a game creator is enough to grant him respect from my part.
Demon Queen Lucretia@mariusor @gamingonlinux I would like to reiterate my previous statement about hating The Witness perhaps more than any other game I've played, so I don't have any interest in ever playing Jonathan Blow's further works.
@rezzyreksya I'll grant you that I was more into the Witness as a technical and pretty piece of abstract art than as a game (I think I didn't reach the half of it). But to hate it, I can't say I understand. :D Can you give an abstract?
@mariusor I posted something about it a while back but it's a faff to find that stuff. Basically the game felt deeply antagonistic to me and did a load of stuff I *really* hate like hardly ever explaining it's own rules and then still telling you you're wrong over and over again, plus the whole environment felt dead and sterile. I spent a few hours on it and my initial intrigue with the concept developed into a deep hostility toward the entire experience. It's like it was built specifically to frustrate me.
@rezzyreksya yeah, I agree that once the witness grows into an "open world" it can become confusing, but my impression on Blow's puzzle building experience is: if the current one seems to be using different mechanics than you've used so far, it means that you're off the path he planned for the players, and it's just a matter of finding that. Maybe that's a terrible combination with the "open world" concept, but I see him using it again in the game he's working on currently (a Sokoban like).
@mariusor I think it was just this unnecessarily obtuse approach to puzzle design alongside the horrible atmosphere of the island that really put me off. I don't mind a game where you have to do lateral thinking and note taking and very little text or descriptors (I absolutely loved FEZ) but for me The Witness was just drawing lines on grids in a variety of unexplained rulesets.
Jaime Herazo@jherazob Braid and The Witness are the two better known ones.

Would be my answer

Jamoflaw@gamingonlinux of course, clever bloke but a single track mind that can't see an array of viewpoints very well.
I actually managed to see that tweet, and I get notifs for yours on Twitter, but I can't actually view them anymore when I goto the app. Quality app
Jacob@gamingonlinux I have a track record of not buying a notoriously difficult to manage social media platform and fucking it up in every way possible, therefore, I am smarter then Elon.
@gamingonlinux personally I have a great track record of never losing 44 billion dollars. Not even once.

@gamingonlinux I'm not going to call him Jonathan Blowjob at all.

Elias Mårtenson@gamingonlinux I know I recently asked the same thing, but I still want to know what it is about the gaming community that they are so invested in proprietary platforms, and will defend them no matter what they do.
Pelayo@gamingonlinux the Venn diagram of *people I know who has weird ideas about women and gaming* and *elon fanboys* is a circle.

Fahri Reza 🍉@fingerless @gamingonlinux ew gross, anti-vaxxer
Robert Kist 🇦🇹🇸🇬@gamingonlinux Oh, no! The stupid "you're only allowed to criticise the food if you're a chef" argument. Anyway...
Omurettu@gamingonlinux Jonathan "I am very intelligent, you're all super dumb" 😌
Disco Cat@gamingonlinux What's Musk track record anyway ? He was born in a rich family, faked an engineer diploma while only having a business one, he bought some companies, he sold them at a higher price, he bought other companies, most of them are not profitable, and he's toxic to work with, and created nothing himself cause he's not an engineer.
Meanwhile I'm there for my friends and not ruining lives so I'd say I compare pretty well compared to that guy, thank you very much Jonathan "blew up the opinion I had on him years ago" Blow.
Kiloku - Secretário do Caos@gamingonlinux gods, I remember when I used to think Jonathan Blow was cool
ToAllPointsWest@gamingonlinux I didn't overspend by double on a well running social media platform that I then destroyed... So I've got that going for me!

@gamingonlinux "What's your track record, comparatively?"
"Well, I have never singlehandedly destroyed a whole company."
Thierry@gamingonlinux Jonathan Blows
Michele 👾 🔭@gamingonlinux Jonathan goes by “Job”, as far as Elon is concerned.
WarpScanner@gamingonlinux His games were always mediocre and I should of had to balls to say so when Braid released before we all learned that the creator was a fucking moron.
