    Twitter is actually 1982’s classic erotic Atari 2600 game "Beat 'em and eat 'em.

    There’s Vladimir Putin at the top of the building, firing his pixellated ejaculate over the side and the player controls both Elon Musk and Donald Trump, running left and right with their mouths open to collect it.

    I feel like there’s not a single person Elon’s comparisons would make sense to

      He’s claiming Twitter is more or less “hardcore” and requires a certain level of mental fortitude to stick with. Instagram much less so.

      I don’t know how Bloodborne compares to Dark Souls, so I don’t get what he thinks the distinction is there.

        He’s just listing games he knows are beloved by their fanbases, hoping to get any of those fanbase’s bigots to support him.

        I’m personally offended he’d ever make those comparisons. You made the site trash Elon. Reddit is trash, and instagram is scraping artists work for their ai. You all suck. All those video games are more worthy of my attention than any if those sites.

        Anyway, I’m going to go continue my yearly October playthrough of bloodborne. Fuck you Elon. I hope you get hand foot and mouth disease and can’t type for weeks.

        Bloodbourne is faster paced than Dark Souls. To me the focus on micro blogging with strict character limits would make Bloodbourne fit Twitter more than Reddit.

          Not inaccurate, if it’s analogous to preemptively defending or disclaiming something about whatever point you’re trying to make, trying to avoid the downvotes and questioning that follow if you offend or confuse too many redditors.

    Twitter was the Final Fantasy 9 of social media, now its the Mystic Quest.

    Lemmy is FF5. Reddit was 4 but now its Theatrhythm.

    I will not elaborate.

    X is Toki, something that only the weirdest weirdos can find any value in it but anyone with a bit of self love will immediately avoid.

    Instagram is just Farmville over and over.

    Reddit is Cookie Clicker, but you’re a worker in the cookie factory.

    Reddit is Bloodborne

    Okay this might be the comment that makes Ted Kaczinsky’s manifesto take on new meaning and inspiration for me

    Twitter is one of those shitty asset flip survival horrors.

    He just paid an exhorberent amount of money for other other people’s work, gave it some basic connecting code and slapped his branding on it and ended up with a product worth less that the sum total of the assets bought to make it.

    Oh and you’re constantly trying to avoid Elon and his right wing ghouls, but it just constantly spawns them in front of you and winning is basically impossible.

    The only thing I can guess what the fuck he even means by this is that it’s insanely easy to get popular on Instagram; you really just need to hit it 3 times to win.

    If I was comparing SM to video games:

    Reddit would be GTAV Online because it looks really fun until you actually start playing it a while and realize how fucking abysmal it truly is.

    Twitter would be whatever the current most popular mobile bullshit is. Everyone plays it, but nobody would ever say it’s actually fun.

    InstaGram is Pokemon Snap.

      InstaGram is Pokemon Snap.

      Don’t be dissing Pokemon Snap like that, it was a first person photography game for N64 and it was brilliant back in 1999.

      More like Pokemon Go — digital manipulation imposed on reality. False sense of community.
