@SpecBlank hipster in gaming?

@Shiv Thrice That's what retro gaming has become!

@sortius Oh, bullshit. Just because something isn't straightforward or you don't instantly get it doesn't mean that it's instantly "hipster" or "pretentious".

@Dudimus24 Okay, once more: HIPSTERS WOULDN'T PUT THIS MUCH EFFORT INTO ANYTHING. "Real gamers" can also be appreciators of art and culture, a lot of this is awesome and has had real effort put forth out of love for games. You aren't an asshole, you just seem unable to appreciate anything beyond your couch, which leads me to believe that you're probably under the age of 22-23.

@Dudimus24

you can also see the mona lisa on google, it doesn't have the same effect. Joystiq is cool and all but you cant see each individual pen stroke or the streaks across the canvas caused by the brush. In short viewing art on the internet is the equivalent of cliff notes to books. And if you think that is a hipster statement i think you should learn the difference between art appreciation and hipster, and while we're at it can we please stop throwing around the term hipster? There were people in regular t shirts, not plad over shirts, here. I dont know whose worse the hipsters or the "gamers" who lump everyone in a 10 mile radius to a hipster as a hipster.

@ultrabean Haha, so I AM just being an asshole.

@Dudimus24
in this case i agree. just because i don't think the 'brush strokes' for this are the most important part. also, i think it becomes more contextualized on screen anyway.
