It's just ironic because the dialogue was "Yeah its okay to play HotS or whatever, that's fine" followed by "JUST BECAUSE A GAME IS SIMPLE DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT NUANCED AND WORTHWHILE" followed by something about insecurities.

It is okay. HotS is a simpler game than dota. It is designed to be a simpler game than dota. It is designed to be more pick-up-and-play than dota. It has merits. You should not feel bad for having played HotS. You do not need to defend HotS. It is not chess. That is okay.

We're okay. Its okay.


I believe you have mischaracterize the tone of this discussion. At no point did I ever infer that HotS was not a simpler game. I embraced that point in talking about it and said it was lower impact that Dota as well. And at no point did I post anything that would confused with yelling or being in all caps.

But lets not let the carefully crafted comments by H-dog’s post get in the way of reviewing his history as a passive aggressive shitposter who likes to stir up trouble. Like most edgelords on the internet. Tic-tax-toe is a bad game. It is broken on a fundamental level. By going from chess to checkers and then to tic-tax-toe, he is effectively shit talking while making a vague effort to sound polite. And the last line can be translated to “Just don’t act like you are playing a good game like Dota 2.”


Haro's an expected shitposter though, and your response was super insecure, which is why it was ironic.

Who gives a fuck if people think HotS is a baby game for babies. People also enjoy Mario Kart and tic-tac-toe. Which are for babies.

I also approve of H-dog, let's hope we get the eventual evolution to H-god :D

And now we are taking Mario Cart’s name in vain. Git Gud Gamers are the pious vegans of the gaming world.

Don't be ashamed of who you are, P6. We accept you anyways.

I mean look at ITH, he consistently professes his love for visual novels and anime in the face of several GD dwellers declaring anime not only bad, but an actual life mistake. We'd all benefit from being a lil more like ITH. Minus the anime consumption.

Yeah I can live with being told my hobbies are degenerate but that my confidence (or lack thereof?) is a good quality. :D

And claims that crying about anime girls is a hobby*

Apathy towards other human opinions. That is the quality of yours that I aspire towards ITH.

so I feel like this quest to regain the biggest thread on LD/TL will require more shitposting. Keep up the good work team!

Scotch is Tomatin 12, apparently. I'm not classy and don't know anything about anything. I have a guy for that, he tells me what to get.

Mario Kart is 100% for babies. Being good or bad or whatever is totally irrelevant and the game makes sure you're reasonably competitive anyways. Its like the opposite of fighting games, which are the least for-babies and that's why I basically don't play them.

I want my games to be like 30-40% for babies so I can play them and not feel like it requires practice.

30-40% for babies is why I play Diablo 3. Which is probably closer to 70-80%, depending on my mood.
