It's Just A Game (The Jimquisition)
Added 2020-02-24 14:53:13 +0000 UTCInfluencers are like proper celebrities now, so we have to listen to everything they say.
Ninja is an influencer, and he has plenty to say. Recently the Mixer Man caused a fuss by extolling the virtues of anger and deriding the notion that a videogame is "just a game."
This sparked up the age old Hardcore Gamer debates, and I've got bugger all else to do this week, so let's talk about competition, attitudes, and Cucumber Succulence!

I'm guessing that Ninja was way more eloquent about the idea of winning and competition in his book because he didn't write it.

Sounds like one of those over-testosteroned manchildren we should have pushed into the army to get over his aggression constructively.

2020-02-25 22:05:01 +0000 UTCVery good points. People with such attitude are the main reason I rarely play any multiplayer games. Also, a quick drawing of Cucumber Succulence, because drawing is more fun than getting angry over a game XD https://imgur.com/a/ckd0Zrd

2020-02-25 13:45:14 +0000 UTCI played 1 match of the Bleeding Edge Beta, minutes after it went live in Australia. One of my fellow countrymen was swearing and complaining about how bad we (the other 3 players in the team) were, he was quite personally offended that we were losing. Multiplayer games, like Ninjas beloved Fortnite, can't be lumped with other games when this zealous behaviour is the norm.

2020-02-24 17:45:17 +0000 UTCIndeed I appreciate Jim for not taking the easy way out and totally trashing Ninja as a worthless human being like i've seen too many pundits out there do, I get where he's coming from and I do hope the debate makes him think more carefully about his attitude and his own responsibility with having such a huge and mostly young and impressionable audience. Also i'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least partially jealous of the guy.
