I gave "Unleash the Avatar" a cursory Google search earlier due to it cropping up in this thread and happened upon an r/IndianGaming thread discussing the game. There wasn't anything interesting about the conversation itself, though what caught my eye was how big the subreddit was and how long it had been around. There's an equivalent subreddit called r/Indiangamers, though I'm only going to focus on the "Gaming" one.
What surprised me most about the subreddit was how familiar it felt. The mannerisms, talking points, nostalgia baiting and in-humour of the subreddit is almost identical to the circlejerking of r/gaming. A lot of the subreddit boils down to pandering gaming memes, though there are some curios buried in here as well.
There are a ton of awkward videos and images of parents playing video games and being "huge gamers", though I found the image of the ramshackle crack den on the right to be the most amusing.
Here is someone's "trailer" for the subreddit
AUDIOJUNGLE AUDIOJUNGLE AUDIOJUNGLE AUDIOJUNGLE AUDIOJUNGLE
Here's a jeet horror game, complete with riveting voice acting
A gloriously retarded PC setup
Another jeet game, this time about child sex trafficking. I don't know whether the game is a tactful representation of the issue, but I think it's amusing that the trailer awkwardly misuses a Polygon article to describe the game itself, rather than highlighting any areas of praise.
One would think that the jeet bloodline is scourged enough to the point of gaining a natural immunity to the soyboy phenotype, but mother nature continues to elude
I've noticed that Indians love to cordon off their own in-group communities on Reddit. I can understand if the subreddit is directly related to the arts, culture or country of India, but there are tons of random ass subreddits where the "Indian perspective" doesn't really add anything new to the discussion. Guess it just goes to show how much they love integrating.
