🐱 Polygon game reviewer/editor removes zelda from top three games

 

[Secret Asshole]

This is my first exposure to Polygon, so my impression of them so far is that they’re neurotic and have dumb friends.

Edit: actually the friend isn’t even dumb, he started a game in an empty save slot. Like this entire series of tweets should have been an internal thought process culminating in the realization that nothing happened.

You are in for a treat

I bet the friend was Dean Takahashi

Wild that it's possible to overwrite saves.

How about you stop letting your dipshit friends play on your console? Once I deleted my brother's Super Mario 64 120 star save because I didn't understand what "erase" meant. I'm baffled how adults are friends with people as stupid as a 5 year old.

It baffles me that people act like spergs because of some remedial shit, I mean I know these are gamers so of course they aren't gonna have a brain here.

Bugged saving mechanics. GG Nintendo! Aahahaha! *clapclapclap*

Yeah, this is some mental illness level response to someone saving in an empty save slot. Huge reaction of anxiety and anger, "I'm taking my ball and going home" childish rage at the manufacturer of the device. Imagine what happens if this guy's girlfriend gets a text from a wrong number with a "hey babe" -- he'd have her body dumped in a cornfield before he realized there was no message history and the dude had typed "shit wrong number" as the next line.

 

[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

What a faggot.

 

[The Fool]

Game journalists are just trying to top each other now. I swear to god mark my fucking words, soon there's going to be an article about a journalist who intentionally snapped his game in half and then complains that it won't fit in the console anymore because he snapped it in half. Then it'll say it's the worst game ever made 8/10.

 

[The_Truth]

Can we be honest that faggots like this never would have made it in the NES days when you had to blow out your game cartridge to make sure it worked and sometimes it just crapped out on you anyway?

Or when you couldn't even save games but you had to write down a fucking code on a piece of paper.

That's basically every tweet that anyone ever twitted.

 

[Dysnomia]

Can you imagine being friends with this guy? He lets you play around on his Switch, suddenly you're like "hey I think I did something wrong." He goes silent and is glued to his phone for the next 20 minutes, you can tell he's pissed and panicking but not attempting to do anything about it in real life. Then you look at his twitter and see this cluster.

Dear God. My younger siblings would accidentally erase my games all the time. Yeah it sucks. But that's life.

This guy just explodes on social media.

Don't let morons mess with your consoles. This is why I no longer let people use mine.

Want to hear a joke?

Game journalists.

Journalists.

I remember one that was like 24 spaces long, numbers and letters, and was like fuck this shit. Even the NES version of Zelda had save spaces.

That doesn't actually do anything but oxidise the contacts and damage the cartridge. If you want to clean them properly, use rubbing alcohol and a q tip.

 

[Kyria the Great]

At this point I am honestly wondering if these paid games journalists have ever played games in their entire lives aside from mobile.

 

[Elysian]

This reminds me of the time Jim Sterling sucked at Hellblade so he flipped the fuck out and gave it a 1/10.

When you were a kid, you just did this shit because it worked. You probably didn't know chemistry. And if you did, you only used it to blow shit up with those awesome chemistry kits you could get as a kid before America turned into cuckland.

They watch Let's Play videos on their smartphones and write their ten daily required articles on their Macbooks at Starbucks.

I can't wait until they ban rocket clubs because some idiot might get hurt.

I hope Nintendo removes polygon from their "childish tantrum-throwers who shoot their mouths off before learning basic facts that we're still willing to talk to" list.

Fun fact: blowing in your Nintendo cartridge did nothing, and in fact its efficacy was a lie propagated by Nintendo themselves to cover for the real reason your cartridge wouldn't load sometimes: they were designed to be top-loaded - the front-loading design of the American NES put strenuous pressure on the cartridge's connector pins every time you inserted it, gradually bending them out of alignment and making successful loading a crapshoot.
