"Postal" is such a steaming pile of edgelord shit that even Civvie11 doing videos on the franchise doesn't make it any more bearable for me.
Critical support for this developer's message here, that said.
I appreciate Postal 2 because the premise is kinda funny. It's deliberately designed so you can beat it without doing any violence at all. You're given tasks like get milk, pick up your paycheck, etc. And it involves standing in lines or people berating you. You're stuck doing tedious annoying repetitive tasks, or you can get a flamethrower. I think standing in line to get Gary Coleman's autograph takes 90 minutes if you do it normally.
Otherwise it's very silly early 2000s edgy white guy dudebro humor
That premise, while cute, hasn't aged well for me. The ever-rising number of chanlords shooting up their schools (and elder chanlords murder-suiciding their own families) because no one would blow them behind the bleachers (or because the wife left him or the kids won't call anymore) sours the premise of "wouldn't it be funny to murder everyone that mildly annoyed you" white guy dudebro humor for me long ago.
Yo its a video game
"Yo its a video game"
Yeah, and that changes nothing about why I don't like it. You're giving a lazy thought terminating cliche here.
EDIT: Christ, you activated a long dormant alt account just to stan for your edgy video game? That's just sad.
This is my only lemmy account and I made it before reddit killed 3rd party apps as I quit going on there. Going through my post history to try and judge me is something weird to do though
Rising from dormancy while otherwise doing nothing with that account, just to announce how mad you are that your edgy game wasn't to my liking is weirder to me.
"Yo its just an opinion"
I comment when I have something relevant to say and typically delete mean shit after typing it out cause morons like you aren't worth my time.
Have a nice life man. Hope you find something you can enjoy your time at instead of whatever it is you're doing.
Surely someone must be a moron if they don't like your edgy video game! What an emergency! And I'm so not worth your time that you're still replying, you foaming frothing edgy gamer stereotype.
Your passive aggression and petty concern trolling attempt, because I didn't like your edgy video game, is noted and will receive all the consideration it deserves.
