I wish Jess had spent more time talking about what Scorn is, as opposed to defending a work against internet discourse. I don’t care what other people think, I want to hear your thoughts and opinions.
Amen! I listen to the Bombcast to hear what GB thinks about games, not what twitter thinks. Have more respect for your own thoughts and experiences and don't elevate annoying rando opinions!
It's totally valid to like or not like Immortality. I'm not sure why we need to spend so much time talking about whether *other people* like it the right amount (why are people calling it a masterpiece when I don't like it?!) or making guesses about the real intention of the creator (they definitely must be taking this seriously even when it seems silly and are surely just trying to win awards!). I'm interested in everyone's feelings about the game, not their feelings about other people's feelings about the game.
YES! THANK YOU!!! I'm still ride-or-die for GB but one thing I do miss about Jeff G. is that he actively steered people away from couching their opinions in reaction to popular consensus. I listen to this podcast so I can spend a few hours NOT reading twitter, I don't need twitter's opinions read back to me
