@Elizafox @chr@cybre.space @vahnj @Felthry @Nine @ajr @Terrana@tootplanet.space duke nukem forever: turns out macho sexism doesn't age too well

@typhlosion @Terrana@tootplanet.space @ajr @Felthry @vahnj @chr@cybre.space @Elizafox the realest take holy crap. That game was gonna be bad anyway but WWOOOOOOWWW...

@Nine @Elizafox @chr@cybre.space @vahnj @ajr @Terrana@tootplanet.space @typhlosion

I have never heard of The Realest Take. Mind explaining? o.o

@Felthry @typhlosion @Terrana@tootplanet.space @ajr @vahnj @chr@cybre.space @Elizafox It's like a hot take except it's so on-point it's gone beyond.

@Nine @Elizafox @chr@cybre.space @vahnj @ajr @Terrana@tootplanet.space @typhlosion I still don't understand. Is The Realest Take a game? I'm starting to think it isn't, but what were you saying about it then? Was that in reply to something specific? The whole thread isn't wanting to load now so I can't see what was right before that

@Felthry @typhlosion @Terrana@tootplanet.space @ajr @vahnj @chr@cybre.space @Elizafox Oh! Right sorry, no it was in response to the one about Duke Nukem Forever by @typhlosion awoo.space/@typhlosion/1086081

@Nine @Elizafox @chr@cybre.space @vahnj @ajr @Terrana@tootplanet.space @typhlosion

Okay. I still don't really know what it means. I don't know what a hot take is either. So much jargon I'm unfamiliar with x.x And the whole stuff-not-working thing has me not in a good place right now mentally so gah.

@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:

@Nine It's not your fault, it's just my own ignorance and mess of brainweirdnesses making things difficult x.x

@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?

@Nine uh. Sort of? I am still rather confused.

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

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