Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

no one called you an idiot, though. you keep saying that, but no one called you a fucking idiot for not knowing what "moba" meant. this whole stupid thread literally started because an anon assumed because they didn't know, no one would know.

you may not even know the name, but you know what elements of a game you like and don't like, but you at least recognize it as something you're not into, even if you don't know the name. so you'd be able to look at two games and say "this one is a thing I like, and this one isn't" even if you had no idea what the labels were. that's all I'm saying.

anon, I don't play these games and don't care to, but that doesn't mean I don't know what they are.

you guys are acting like knowing stuff makes you an elitist, and pointing out stuff must mean you think everyone who doesn't know it is an idiot, when in truth it's none of this. chill out and stop getting so defensive.

nice backpedaling since people are calling you out

go back to the jinx tag on danbooru

funny how multiple anons are "getting defensive"

it can't possibly have anything to do with the condescending tone of people, not just here on rpanons, who screech about mobas and how they're TOTALLY NOT A FPS.... NOT.... YOUR AVERAGE FPS...... HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT A MOBA IS......

if you weren't invested in this you wouldn't be commenting so why don't you shut up about your stupid genre distinction knowledge that 99% of people who don't play ~mobas~ don't care about

>random people on the street probably aren't looking to know what the difference between Overwatch and Battleborn is so they know which one they'd wanna buy.

THAT WAS LITERALLY THE FIRST POST HERE

YOU STARTED ARGUING ABOUT IT

WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID

you, or someone else, insinuated it and outright insulted people that didn't know it.

"MOBA isn't an obscure term, it's been used for years to describe a number of games, including several of the most played ones of all time. just because you and some other out of touch dinguses haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's some arcane acronym."

the point people are trying to make is that hey, even people that like and play games don't always know what it is. it doesn't make them a fucking moron or a dingus. it just means that MOBA isn't as popular or well known as you seem to think it is.

this is coming off like someone using a really obscure meme and then throwing a fit when no one gets it and blaming them for being useless assholes who don't know pop culture, when in reality, unless you watch x show or movie or were interested in y thing that was involved in an obscure meme, you're not going to have a clue what this idiot's talking about. got any cheeeeeeeeeeese?

less invested and more just astounded by the overreaction, but given where I am, I guess I shouldn't be shocked. outie

good riddance, dumbass

BTW thank you so much for updating the rpa google sheet. That made this ten times easier. There are probably a few to add and remove that I'll poll the comm for once we have a fresh new rpa post, but I've at least got a basic list thanks to you.

1, the first post is lamenting that no one's talking about it. the second post is someone just saying they're the same type of game, when they're not. they weren't someone asking what the difference was, they just assumed there was none because idk why

2, that wasn't me

3, this abortion of a thread has gone on lone enough. we get it. you're mad someone got condescending over game shit. go to bed.

i know the term and i STILL equate it with "neckbeardy games i have no desire to play" because that's really what it is

sometimes it's okay to just call a spade a spade

fair enough, I missed that comment, and yeah, that's out of line.

'm not mad people don't know what the term means, I don't play them or really care about them, I'm just astounded people got this mad over what was essentially a nothing point. people looking to buy overwatch or battleborn will probably either know enough about either game's genre to make a decision between the two, even if they don't know the labels, or know the labels and move on with their lives anyways. either way, this thread's an embarrassment to look at, so I'm out.

do you really think the majority of people care about the minute genre difference

all they see is "stylized multiplayer game with a million characters to play"

good fucking god, anon

that's the comment that started all of this

glad you're leaving since you're the one who made it this way

jfc

apparently neckbeard anons care a whole lot about the genre difference

which is NOT!!!!!!! minute!!!!!

people don't like being called stupid, anon. especially not by someone stanning for a culture that's kind of hugely at odds with ours

i really don't understand how you could be surprised by this

because TO THE LAYMAN, they are. that's what you don't seem to grasp. unless you're balls deep in the types of games, they are going to seem the same to you. so when someone goes 'they're the same thing' going 'NUR NUR MOBA IS SO VURRY DIFFRUNT' doesn't magically make anyone understand dick.

then it was explained. then someone went 'well, just saying 'it's a moba' isn't going to really explain anything'. and that's where we are now: someone deciding to be butthurt that no one knows what moba is off the bat and that makes us all ignorant dinguses.

yeah

and it's a stupid comment. they're not minute differences, whether you know the words for them or not, and people looking to buy either game are gonna care, whether they know the words or not.

the stupid thing isn't not knowing the genre, the stupid thing is assuming no one would know because you don't. are we done now?

filthy unwashed casual detected

lmao you said you're leaving and you're still here arguing that ~isn't not a minute difference it's special~

literally go back to reddit and scream about casuls and/or women so you can get your gold already

you say "to the layman" but I'd think anyone who cares enough to buy either game would know, even if they don't know what mobas are called, what the differences are, and they ain't little. but it's okay to just say "oh I didn't know" or "it's okay you didn't know"

there is definitely several butthurt anons on both sides in this thread, though, I need to stop wasting my energy on this.

what exactly is the difference from your standard multiplayer fps and why is so hugely different that it requires turning a thread into an utter shitstorm

this is what i need to know

same tbh. i know what an rpg is, a fps, mmorpg, rts, and other assloads of gaming acronyms that get thrown around. moba was completely new for me and i still don't quite get what sets it apart

almost 10 million individual people on planet earth played the overwatch beta

it's not ~anyone who cares enough~ like it's some elite fucking club, the games appeal to pretty casual fans and hardcore gamers alike

seriously you're making yourself look really stupid rn and i'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here

another anon posted why, but it's probably lost in this mess now.
