It might be nothing, but there's an Internet meme titled "gamers rise up" which generally juxtaposes edgy gamer quotes next to photos of the Joker or stuff like that. I think I saw a photo of some display for the recent gaming convention that depicted a photo of the Joker right in the center.

News came out extremely quickly on how the shooter is Yehuborim. Yehuborim are scrambling all over twitter to replace "Yehuborim" with "White male" that's how desperate they are.

Yo i just checked out your soundcloud page and that shit is on good old satanic blue fire ;D

Umm, thanks. I'm trying to come out with a Double Album.

Last but not least. Fuck Fox news. I saw them reporting saying their was *12* shots fired and followed up with saying they THINK the shooter used a semi-auto *rifle*. They really make their agenda obvious.

You would think Fox News wouldn't join the CNN bandwagon on demonizing the AR15 rifle since they're known for conservative approaches to journalism.

That's what I thought too but then again, controlled opposition.

I don't like it. Games should never be a sport, in my opinion.

For all you gaymers here, what do you guys think of E-sports as a whole?

For all you gaymers here, what do you guys think of E-sports as a whole?

I personally think it's dogshit. And it's negative as a whole imo. I can't watch E-sports I think it's the most boring shite you can watch. It's also taking something that was originally created as a hobby for people to have fun and relax and it's turning into this super competitive mess that makes people obsess over video games on an unhealthy level.

I remember the times when you could play a game with people and everyone had a good time. But now it's all gotta be high stakes and super serious. It just brings frustration, anger and general toxicity to something that was previously just about having some fun.


They want to turn video games into a sport but is that really what you want...looking at other sports and the kind of retards who obsess over them for the Yehuborim to profit from?

There's this constant screeching that video games need to be pushed into the mainstream and multiplayer games must be like sports and single player games must be like hollywood movies. This has been where the industry is moving and look at the results. Shit games. Toxic communities. Underage gambling schemes. False advertisements and scams. And so on.

As a gaymer, I agree with this sentiment. In addition to this, in many games that can be made competitive, there are countless "right" and "wrong" choices where there previously weren't. I.e., some characters in a fighting game are just naturally better than others due to balancing issues, so you gotta go with the high-tier characters. The way you customized your class/profession's talents or abilities or whatever the fuck? That's wrong, you can't optimize DPS with that build, all people who use that build are stupid and won't be invited to raids.

One that really got under my skin was when I was playing Rocket League; I thought all the cars just flying around hitting a giant soccer ball looked stupid to the point it was funny, so I started playing and made myself a Polish vehicle with a wings decal and a Polski flag. I liked the model I used for it as it looked elegant and could make use of that decal, but lo and behold, I learned from a friend that that model was one of the worst for competitive play and that I'd have a hard time with it. This was enormously frustrating to me, not only because I have a tendency to favor the worst or weakest things in games without realizing it and once again did that, but because it's to the point that even seemingly cosmetic changes like that make a difference, and if I wanted to figure that out for myself, I would've had to dedicate so much fucking time to trying to get good. Fuck that.

It's all well and good to have a competitive nature to games; in many ways you need it. But to this level where people are dedicating hours upon hours to figuring out the exact science of which fucking car model can hit a big soccer ball easier in the air, how every single LoL champion fares against each other, or whatever else, all in the name of becoming one of the pro players who live together as a team in the big team house, where they continue to practice their game and refine this shit down to the gnat's ass...It reminds me of when I played WoW, which I got heavily invested in to an unhealthy point, and I never even approached their levels of obsession. I learned firsthand that it truly isn't anything that enriching for you. I'm happier for having shed this behavior.

On the subject of this Katz character, I'm truly loving the media's attempts to portray him as a white man. A white supremacist man, at that. Pretty much every reaction I've seen to such is "Naaah, nah, that's a Yehubor, buddy. Definite Yehubor." Even the sleeping "anti-Nazi" Gentiles are putting the puzzle pieces together. Starting with the border pieces, of course, but eventually they'll fill it in to find a Star of David glaring right at them.

This has been where the industry is moving and look at the results. Shit games. Toxic communities. Underage gambling schemes. False advertisements and scams. And so on.

The current E-sports scene is utter trash for various reasons. Let me elaborate.

First and foremost, 90%+ of the big, popular games out there are terribly balanced and made in a way that dampens skill expression. There's various ways that the Yehubor does this. One exaple is league of legends, where the individual power of each champion is dampened far too much. It's at a point where one person feeding on your team is enough for you to lose the match, but one person getting fed on your team is not enough to win the match. You cant just 'destroy' the enemy laner and 1v5 the enemy team. Even in lower elos that's only possible if your skill level is massively above that of all the other players in the match. Because of this, the e-sports scene is complete bullshit. Even top players like Faker cant carry games on their own anymore.

Another way to ruin competitive play is introducing a high amount of randomness, 'so that new players can win some matches too'. This is possibly THE most retarded thing you could possibly do to a video game. It's literally saying, 'let's make every game a 50-50 coinflip so that new players can win without getting good at the game.' This is the case for a plethora of MOBAs out there (including, again, league of legends, because it's a perfect example of an absolutely terribly optimized game).


There's more ways besides this, but those are more common in mobile games, like ultra-strong weapons/characters that you can only get through real-money lootboxes (don't pay for the item, pay for a fucking CHANCE to maybe get the item), and so on.


And just to clarify, I'm actually a very, VERY competitive gamer and I don't agree at all with others here saying games shouldn't be a sport. The competitive scene is where games get their meaning from in the first place. If you just play games to kill time and sit there like a braindead zombie for some laughs, then you're wasting your time in my opinion. When played seriously with an indomitable desire to beat your opponent and WIN, games will train your mind more than anything out there.

Yes, at the moment E-sports are trash. But that doesn't mean that gaming competitively is trash. Just in the same way that, even though modern-day music is bullshit, the concept of music in general isn't bs at all. It's in fact a beautiful concept when done in a satanic way. E-sports are the exact same.
