hey guys. anybody want to take a guess at why atomic heart is such a fucking breath of fresh air in the absolute pile of pig diarrhea that is modern AAA single player games? Any guesses? nobody wants to guess?
I don't think this exact toxic belief system existed 20 years ago. It has been built piece by piece by successive generations of increasingly unhinged alienated weirdos.
If these people had ended up in a another internet community with a different culture they might still be alienated but not ...this.
It absolutely existed 20 years ago, and not much about it has actually changed since then ideologically or even stylistically, but it was mainly confined to UseNet, which the vast majority of internet users could safely ignore (or could not figure out how to access) and which mainstream media almost never covered.

Well yeah. Because they had way too much time on their hands. They wouldn't have in the past, even if the internet had existed.
