    Sorry, Musk. But the order goes like this:

    MySpace - Demon Souls, most popular precursor,aid a lot of the groundwork for the following series.

    FaceBook - Dark Souls, filled with mad and hollow undead all under the maniacal fist of an uncaring madman who refuses to let the world progress

    Tumblr - Bloodborne, the truth lies just behind the veneer for those who can see it, the porn is still there.

    Reddit - Lies of P, about half the people who said they played it actually did. Theres so much random shit shoved in here, is that Russian architecture with an old British cop bot? Uh, gnosticism?

    Instagram - its actually just the Painted World of Aramis, not a separate game. A beautifully painted, but fake, world that is degrading as time goes on

    Twitter - Derelict, low-res models that attempt to look like their inspiration but not well. Developed on an existing platform that already has a shitload of users. Tries to get you to spend money unnecessarily. Is free to use.

    Bonus
    Lemmy - Hellpoint, faithful to the original, with some unique features. Futuristic designs still impose a feeling of dark forebodence, slay cosmic gods like flies and bring humanity to apotheoses.

    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.

        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.

        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 of 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.

    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.

      Probably “Look at me, I’m the cool uncle that can reference some videogames! Nevermind that I evicted Grandma”

    I dunno, twitter was more a stardew valley running the Joja route; but then it turned into X which was more of a Concord - so much money pumped in and so little quality.

    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.
