But we can still see the shift in gaming scores to almost all 6-10. Back in the 80s and 90s, game mags grilled games no problem with terrible scores. A 6-10 scale to me means every game in this range is above avg which is definitely not true. So few games get scored lower than 5/10 theres not even a point most of the time.

In movies they usually use 4 or 5 star ratings for their reviews. But probably no movie critic uses their scale giving out minimum 2/4 or 3/5 stars like gaming sites giving mostly 6-10/10.

Movie reviews stayed true to bad and good scores like nothing changed.

Most movie reviews fall in the 3-4 range. You pretty rarely see a 1 or 5. Naturally when you extrapolate that to a 10 or 100 point scale then the 7-9 becomes common

Reviews are also heavily rely on historical precedence for comparison. I believe it became 7-9 as common because back in the day they used to score based on components of the game. Eg gameplay, graphics, sound all got their own ratings that contributed to the score out of 10. In most cases a game is doing some aspect well so would still get scores weighted up

These days reviewers rank in that range because that's what users expect for comparison. And users get really annoyed when it's outside that expectation

Elon Musk is still an obnoxious asshole / wannabe oligarch with too much money. This, in addition with his actual autism, which doesn't allow him to fully understand human society, actually makes him dangerous.

They're not showing the hand across the chest before his arm is extended, either. So, both doctored?

It's called a nazi salute, he did it twice in a row and there's video of it.

When the dog whistle is so loud humans can hear it, might be time to pull it back a bit.

 

[RCX]

He needn't worry, there's only about 5 real ones (ie actually making a living) left and that should be down to one or two by the end of the year.

The rest are chained to desks in the IGN basement, forced to write wiki entries for all eternity.

Good enough for the cunts.

 

[Lethal01]

He isn’t but imagine this guy is the richest man in the world and he chooses to spend his time to troll on X.

goes to show how fun being talkingj to people online is, as fun as what millions of dollars can buy

 

[LordCBH]

He is correct.

Remove "videogame" and "journalism" and we have the correct sentence

Social media ostensibly made all journalism crap.

Never had to take meds. Sounds like you might be projecting.

Get help buddy.

 

[Evolved1]

Going to cry about it? Another for the Ignore list, bye loser LOL.

You're like one of those fucking dipshits who dressed up in garbage bags and held signs reading "we are trash" in an attempt to own libs... jokes on you, fucker.

But maybe an echochamber is what you're looking for. You seem a little emotional.

Do the world a favor and go sit in a closet by yourself. Be bathed and coddled by the sound of your own interal dialog.... if you can hear it over the echo of your furious fapping to your ultra entrepreneur superman.

People still trying to say he did a Nazi salute ? ....

 

[Jsisto]

For the love of god shut up and run your companies. The fact this man feels the need to inject himself into every cultural debate on earth is incredibly tiring. Let the people that actually play videogames and don’t hire others to do so debate the issues in games journalism. I’m so over this fucking imbecile.

If you hate anyone to point it seething anger you have the mentality of a toddler whom does not yet have the mental capacity to understand basic concepts so they get frustrated and throw tantrums.

...Are people here not aware that he is just vying for attention as per usual?

...Are people here not aware that he is just vying for attention as per usual?

Yes. His M.O. is "Oh ahhhh look at that booster catch" while he crashes another rocket into the Gulf of America on taxpayer money.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Elon is right and it seems like it’s getting worst by the day.

 

[RodriGames40]

I laugh so hard at the Musk haters. Thanks to you who posted crying though as it shows who the democratic pussies are here at Gaf so I can add even more to my ignore list. Seethe and cope harder losers. LOL

Seems Elon Derangement Syndrome has become more contagious than the more traditional TDS

EDS and TDS are related disorders, like Hepatitis A and B. Once you get them both they become ultra powerful in combination like some kind of Super Hepatitis

You’re an idiot. He said “my heart goes out to you” he then put his hand to his heart and waved it out to the crowd. But keep trolling (probably from your Russian troll den), it’s people like you that will keep the left losing. Yall have learned nothing. While we stack win after win. Love it!

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Musk is more of a Metal Gear man, it seems. Based.

He needs to work on the consistency of his 'my heart goes out to you' gesture IMHO

This feels a bit: "Thou dost protest too much"... idk... maybe they should check your ip address.

I just enjoy watching the death spiral for gaming "journalism". About the only thing they had left were more direct connection to people in the industry working on the games, and now increasingly youtubers/streamers are getting those connections. Most of them are useless people that are being replaced with AI because the majority of them just regurgitate stories taken from other sites, or just straight from social media.

Also enjoying the people that waste so much headspace and energy hating Elon. I'm not a fan, but the people trying to extrapolate a hand gesture made by the guy who is continuously awkward every time he's on a stage as some secret dog whistle that he's a big fan of the ww2 villain is just asinine. He's not even doing the salute correctly, the ADL even defended it early on, and it's clearly just people who already hate him for other crap wanting another reason to confirm their hatred.

 

[Vandole]

I do share the opinion, but now that he said it, I feel like I need to reconsider it.

 

[Bernardougf]

Yeah definitely Elon is doing a Nazi salute.. I would love to see he do this salute exactly this way to any Nazi German General and see what happens to him ... perfect form I would imagine. ..you people are crazy.

 

[Azelover]

People still trying to say he did a Nazi salute ? ....

Are you dense? It's exactly what he did.. sky is purple now?

I mean he got it pretty close, so the generals probably wouldn't be too unhappy with him.

 

[Joramun]

he's not wrong.

generally speaking though, journalism as a profession isn't what it used to be.

these days a majority of them get told what to write and say. they're beholden to multinational global media corporations.

if they don't tow the line they get fired

 

[Dutchy]

I just point and laugh.

be careful cause thats a hitler salute according to your own definition

are you people actual retards, or pretend to be retards, or think everyone else is retard by posting these "examples" as some sort of gotcha
that part im trying to figure out

Flat-earth levels of retarded. I wouldn't put too much energy into talking to them since their attention span only lasts for a sentence or two.

Not knowing the difference between waving and saluting is exactly the kind of behavior you'd expect from someone who lives on social media platforms and don't actually interact with other people. It's a sad reality.

 

[Bernardougf]

I mean he got it pretty close, so the generals probably wouldn't be too unhappy with him.

Yeah if you know anything about military.. there is no "pretty close" .. more even so at this time

But maybe he did something on purpose.. trying to piss off the snowflakes.. and was very successful.

 

[Dutchy]

"Even with a misspelling error you still look the fool."

Well ok then.

Did this mfer really fail to type out a cohesive sentence twice in a row LMAO

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Haha, so it needs a COA from a Nazi general? Phew, Elon got lucky there!

 

[adamsapple]

So which is it ?

 

[Bernardougf]

Well its something very military specific...so or he is doing or he isn't ... if you are talking about a military Nazi salute.. no he is not doing.... is wrong... and is something pretty easy do to exactly right if you want... sooo ... whatever rocks your boat and your imagination allows you to see buddy .

 

[Bernardougf]

So which is it ?

Dont know.. go ask him. Personally i dont think he's done it.

Yes, 'my imagination' ... anyway, as you said in your edited post, perhaps he did something on purpose to piss off snowflakes. Whatever his intention, he did what he did.

Another triggered fool. LOL Listen, Im not sorry that my post made you cry but I promise if you just scroll on by youll be more than ok.

I think I'm going to print this screenshot and hang it in my garage to point and laugh at when I'm having beers with my buddies. Too funny.
