There's nothing about comedy that can only go in one of two boxes, unless you have a really surface perception of comedy. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you actually known this and just made this topic in reaction to something specific without actually thinking of it making you look like you don't understand comedy at all. You can enjoy Comedy in a non-complex way, but don't come at others like they're doing it wrong because they understand subtleties that can either detroy the humor in the joke or elevate it to an even more potent level of humor.

Most humor these days is reactionary. But if you're reacting to something with a response like "They don't like being called bitches, so it's funny when I call them bitches" it's not gonna hit like a joke that exposes systemic issues that's been going on for 100s of years. Which can still be offensive on the surface tbf. Because you can keep digging into the latter joke and finding ways it works and exposed truths. While, the former is just on the surface and there's nowhere to go by digging into it. It's offensive because there was no other reason for it to exist other than to be offensive. There's no art or self awareness in it. You just think you're doing what great comedians are doing, which is being edgy. But you don't understand how their product actually works on the inside. You're building a shell of it and calling it just as good. Which reasonably, people see through and realize there's no merits, it's just offensive.

Obviously there's people who don't understand this on both political sides tho. If you want to make it political. And this is just one small thing about a much bigger picture. I don't even know if I covered the right topic, because comedy is so complex and I kond of just got lost in one my rants lol


Youre really digging too deep into this bro.

Of course a joke being tasteful and/or clever matters. Thats what im getting at. Being offensive for the sake of being offensive is not funny. If theres a clever take on a sensitive subject, I welcome that in all forms.

I was absolutely devastated when Kobe Bryant died, but when someone said Well, at least Kobe finally passed. as a basketball fan I lost my shit.

Meaning, can there be a way the industry standard is forced to meet a minimum requirement before release? Or is this just something we all have to accept and theres nothing we can do but hope we buy a good game on release day?

In the old days before patches were a thing developers were forced to iron out the kinks because there were no do-overs, where now they can just shit out a pre-alpha and deal with it later.

Yeah I was able to get Beelzebub by completing the story mode and he was also available for instant access at a price. However when I bought everyone else there werent like downloads to add them to the game. I just clicked purchase and when I opened the game the lock icons were gone and that was it.

Only thing I can think of is they just add the character data to the game with the patches so its just ready to go upon purchase, which I guess isnt technically the same thing as on-disc DLC, though it basically is paying to unlock them.

fighting games are my favorite genre of video game

the FGC is a dumpster fire


Same here, as ive aged and now have a full time job/family ive leaned more towards games I can pick up, play for a little while and put down while having a feeling of accomplishment, and fighting games fit that bill perfectly. However I stay FAR away from online and/or ranked play in every fighting game I play.

Me: I love these characters and their cool moves, also the single player story mode was a lot of fun.
