DATA UPLINK ACQUIRED @Nine@awoo.space

@Elizafox wooo!

@Elizafox I like snuggles too! and giving them! :D *snugglechrp*

@Elizafox *chrph!s and floofs, blinkblinks, snugs!...with tail as well!*

@Firstaide bbasically it was chock full of pop culture references and was so 90s action movie it hurt, PLUS it ...was kind of embarassingly super macho sexist?

Duke Nukem Forever came out after ...what...12 years or something of delays? and almost being cancelled?... and took it way way further and was just...ugh...gross as hell. DN3d's main playerbase was largely 14 to 20 year olds?...

DNF forgot its audience from DN3d had grown up by quite a large amount since then.

@Firstaide Oh boy Duke Nukem is..an odd franchise. The first two games are old very early 90s sidescrolling DOS platformers, and they...kind of sort of suck, but are harmless? They're meant to evoke an action movie sort of ("Mad scientist" wants to take over the galaxy or some such, Duke's gotta stop 'em, with guns), and it's fairly harmless.

DN3d was an FPS game years later and whilst the modding tools were really quite cool, and some great maps were made, it uh... yeah... yyyyeaahhhh... :/

okay it's time for me to sleep so im off to bed yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

@Felthry I mean, it's my description that's causing the confusion, is what I meant.

@Felthry yeaahh that's probably my description of it honestly. I'm ....not so good with words. sorry ^^;

@Felthry I didn't mean to confuse though and I do apologise for that :( I hope you feel better soon.

If it helps any a "take" is someone's thoughts, what they "took away" from something they read/experienced/played/watched. a "hot" take is a good one, "cold" is consequently bad, "luke warm" likewise is mediocre at best. "realest", as in the most "real", is like "hot", or was intended to be so. Does that help at all?

@Felthry ack, sorry ><;; I'd try to explain but honestly I think I'd just make it more confusing since it's super late and I'm in a slight haze of painkillers and sleepiness at the moment D:

oh heck my internet is being AWFUL tonight. Imma reboot the router before I go to bed. also this amazing thread may or may not be trying to eat Awoo.space too ^^;; but I suspect that's just my internets.
