I have always been at great pains in understanding what a hipster is

I thought it was pretty kickass. Like a scary looking battle scar to enhance your swagger.

kuya has this thread alleviated some of your great pains from your quest to understand the hipster?

On a similar note, a couple days back, I had my first case where I introduced myself as Christian and somebody got confused because they were a Jew.

Kohan and BRP and getting ready to engage in Mortal Kombat (with words.)

Kohan's vag of steel with a hookshot coming out of it VS. Wesker (BRP.)

**Conrad** · 2010-10-11 20:03

I hate so much about the things you choose to be.

**Antithesis** · 2010-10-11 22:49

What do you think of Flower, Kohan?

**Kiarax** · 2010-10-12 07:28

Lol.

"There" as in "in that respect", not those forums.

I don't need to read that entire swollen mess of mostly empty words to get the gist, and this is why reading anything you write is a fucking chore.

Right back at you. This is annoying. It would be better if you weren't going on and on against an idea which is still generally true. It requires a lot of resources to be equals among the best games. One of the main reasons videogame hipsters are so silly is because they value shitty(cheaply made) games more. (However, resources do not convert directly into quality. Throwing people and money at something doesn't make it magically better. Teams use resources very differently, some will naturally be more efficient or accustomed to small teams. In the end there is no Indie developer(or bum) so efficient he can compete.)

Indie developers do invest a lot of themselves, I definitely never said otherwise. Probably in all but the most disgusting examples they put in more than any single random dude on a team. That doesn't change anything though. Indies still aim low(hence the artsy 2D platformers which hipsters love). They are subpar vidoegames. Hipsters love them(the worst ones!) for all the wrong reasons. (The last sentence is the actual summary.)

And given that a videogame might have a single hundred million for a budget and be one of the most expensive games of all time, yeah... I was embellishing to make my point more obvious. I could have said billions of dollars and teams the size of a small army and it wouldn't make a single difference.

The stuff about 2D graphics vs 3D graphics doesn't matter. I am insulting 2D platformers(the genre) with 3D models as well. Even those few indie games which carry an art style well are usually vapid in every other respect(maybe, naturally so). I say in particular pixaleted because some people(the hipsters I've been talking about since the beginning) just don't care about looking like crappy 80's game when they do decide to do pixels. Take for example the many titles currently on the frontpage of the PIGscene website I posted. With no sarcasm in my tone, I am sure it took them a long time to do that. But who cares?

Do you still browse this website BRP?

**Kiarax** · 2010-10-12 10:29

FUCKING ARTFAGS

**Riposte** · 2010-10-12 10:33

Yeah, but I got banned though.

The rules for posting on his forum are dreadful to say the least. He doesn't even try to hide the fact that he is a complete and utter asshole.
