    The real cuck energy is never actually playing the games and just watching streamers

        The real real real cuck energy is buying the game on Steam without waiting for a sale, and then watching the let’s play of it while somebody fucks your wife

      Same with movies.

      It’s annoying when you ask someone if they’ve seen a film you loved. Only for when you start talking about it, they reveal they just watched a Youtube summary and ruined the whole thing for themselves…

        There are many movies I don’t intend to watch, but then if they are culturally significant I read the plot on Wikipedia.

        I just watch summaries for two reasons

        1. I don’t have the time to sit down for two or more hours to watch a story that’s riddled with plot holes
        2. Due to poor sound and visual editing from the last decade, I don’t have the patience to squint to see and read everything on subtitles

        if I’m going to read anything it’s going to be a book or a foreign film that’s at least original and edited well.

          I ain’t gonna disagree on this point.

          But I will say not knowing about whatever popular franchise isn’t a crime. And I’m tired of people pretending like they have to “keep up” with everything even if they have no real interest in it.

            absolutely not a way for me to keep up with the Joneses. more of a curiously scratching an itch if the movie is even worth making time for. surprise, 99% are not.

          Those are two (perfectly valid) reasons for not watching full-length films, but they’re not reasons to watch summaries. Watching the summary is worth it if you enjoy that experience, but even as another soul who barely watches any movies I am kind of curious myself to understand the appeal.

            I eat breakfast and lunch at my desk. while I eat I watch a recap.

            I actually have been watching less since most of them have been using AI to narrate and it does a shit job at it.

      Depends - i do not watch let’s plays for anything i am actually interested in, but i have no qualms with watching them for lower quality games just for fun. And that even lead me to some games i wouldn’t ever had touched without seeing the let’s play.
