    Ive seen that many adds for idiotic games where the stupid fuck in the add is obviously just playing the game poorly and I KNOW its a tactic to get me to prove how smaht I am by getting the game and doing better than the shitstick in the video. I KNOW its a manipulation tactic.

    But I kind of still want to prove it.

      There’s a subset of those that end up actually being SUPER CREEPY. Ya know the ones where there’s, like, a pack of Albert Einsteins or Socrateses (Socratepedes???) all chanting and waving their arms? And saying some weird shit like “ONLY LEFT BRAINED PEOPLE CAN BEAT THIS LEVEL” or whatever wack-ass shit, like that?

      That shit is somehow, like, actual nightmare fuel for me. It’s just too surreal and weirdly threatening. Makes me want to just not look at it, instantly.

      Vinny from Vinesauce on twitch will often play the most horrible mobile games/ads on Sunday streams and him and chat are always just absolutely shitting on them. It’s a great laugh, I highly recommend.

    It’s gotten so much worse recently. Now you gotta wait 30 seconds, then you gotta wait another 15 seconds to “play” their demo, then once you click on the x or take you to a pop up ad page. Click on the x right after and then it takes you to one more showing of the ad where you gotta sit there for 5 more seconds, and only after all of that can you click on the x to move on with the game.

    These dumb ads have gotten more annoying than they have already been before and it makes me even less likely to try any of their shitty games
