    Twitter is the pile of Atari E.T. games they found in a New Mexico landfill.

    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.

    Train Station Graffiti - Ghouls & Goblins, the original hard mode, get hit once and you're done for, a true work of art (at the time)

    Wikipedia Discussion Pages - Blasphemous, ancient and unknown beings wield extreme power over the common populace, theres a lot of blood and religion

    Linux Mailing List - Salt and Sanctuary, an imaginary amalgamation of the real world, most people who end up here are castaways, the one with the most salt rules

    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.

    Reddit is Bloodborne

    Okay this might be the comment that makes Ted Kaczinsky's manifesto take on new meaning and inspiration for me

    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.

    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.

    OK, now hear me out first

    Reddit is the halo of social media.

    The wildness you used to get up to on the multilayer was on a new level. There was nothing like that before. On one level you were fighting back the orange hordes from the front pages, the next level you were fighting wealth hording dragons and ripping them off by playing them at their own game. On the last level they let you have freedom on, they were gearing up to try and kill a god. I mean, I don't know how far antiwork would have gone in the end but it seemed to have been estimated far enough that action had to be taken and the threat neutralised. We might well not have killed that particular God but I reckon we could've given them a bloody nose all the same.

    Then they parted ways with the people who actually made the game good and what you ended up with is a shite, soulless over corporatised shell of what it was before, thats little more than the skins from a game you used to enjoy transposed into one that you don't.

    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.
