What is the most Meta video game in existence?

Smbc is much better. I agree.

ITS JOKE

Go away, Mari

LoL

That's right, you tell him. xkcd is deep and it really makes you think... Some people just don't get it like WE do.

ironic shitposting is still shitposting

5 years you son of a bitch.

Yes it's totally mature of you to be getting angry over a stickfigure webcomic becoming popular when most of its jokes/commentary go way over your head. Good job.

Poser.

>Calling people posers

poser high schooler confirmed

Does this really need to be a comic?

I mean, when your art consists of stick figures speaking on a white empty background, it's not playing to the strengths of a visual medium. It would work the same on twitter.

No user, it doesn't need to be a comic.

But considering it's one of the most popular webcomics ever made, it certainly helped.

fuck off randall

Undertale

...

Every fucking time

beer does taste disgusting who /cider/ here? but randall's such a cock about it

Who are we to tell a writer/artist where to dump his shit?

I say let them do their thing.

Guy must be a real insufferable prick with company.

Are you sure you want to take this route, user? We're posting on Cred Forums after all.

what is meta

>>this crudely drawn comedy webcomic purely designed as a vehicle for the artist's opinions defines this artist as a person
You made a little error there, champ. Just went and fixed it for you.

Well, the majority of beer is pretty damn bad, I can totally believe that he's only drank a small variety of beers and they've all been bad.

Now I live in the pacific North West of the US, where everyone and there brother has their own micro brew. They're ubiquitous.
Have you been to any kind of brewers festival?
You spend hours standing in lines for absolute piss water until you fine one of the 5 good ones out of the 100 micro brews that are there and you stick with it for the rest of the day.

I blame hops
You know who doesn't go completely overboard on that shit? The Germans. And they make some pretty damn good beer.

i used to hate beer and that comic used to make sense to me but then i started drinking it more and more after having some liquor and eventually i started drinking beer before hand because I'd be in the liquor store buying vodka or rum or gin and just be like "fuck, a cold budweiser would be nice right now."

now i fully enjoy beer. but not light beer, that shit tastes like liquid bread in the worst way. and i dont like IPAs either, they all taste the same and are too bitter.

I always thought that was him poking fun at the pissing contest that is 'who likes the beer that most tastes like someone made hop tea' that is most craft brews these days.

Then again, maybe the guy just doesn't like beer.

wow you managed to make it worse

>purely designed as a vehicle for the artist's opinions
Is it? Most of the XKCD comics I've seen are just jokes (some bad) and a bunch of introspective shit about logic and math. Are you sure this is not just a case of you not able to separate the artist from his work?

Whats the joke, he doesnt like beer?

Because once you get used to the slight bitterness, it tastes great.
How can fucking hipsters sip their hip south american teas and other shit, but fail to appreciate a good lager?

>I don't like it so everyone else must think it sucks too

This guy would be right at home here on Cred Forums

Yes anons, once you get over the fucking rank bitterness of beer, it tastes awesome :^)

>i don't like beer
>therefore everyone else must be pretending
That's incredibly retarded logic.

>the most Meta video game in existence?
There are a few flash games that are games about making games - which is nearly meta.

Undertale certainly breaks the 4th wall and is full of self-awareness and parody, but that's not exactly meta either.

My vote probably goes to Everlasting Summer. It's quite definitely a Visual Novel about playing Visual Novels. Not strictly a good game, but it's meta. The protagonist's journey is designed to mirror the player's experience, and for the most part it does a very good job of that. Play each 'day' on separate days if you want it to be as 'meta' as possible.

I've actually seen people express that same opinion on Cred Forums, that beer is all objectively bad and normies must pretend to like it due to peer pressure. I think it's a pretty easy conclusion to jump to if you're a poorly socialised sperg. Hence Cred Forums and xkcd.

i dont even mind the bitterness of normal beers but its the fucking disgusting grainy texture and hoppy taste that used to get me with light beers. tastes like the mop water from a bread factory.

>once you get used
It's fucking alcohol, you dingus. It's addictive as fuck. You don't get used to it, you get hooked on it.

if you're an alcoholic that's hooked on beer you're not an alcoholic
call me back when you down a bottle of vodka for breakfast, beer is weak shit and isn't worth the money if you're looking for a buzz

>live in a country with some of the best beers in the world
>even those are all shit
I guess I just don't like alcohol

>all these people who missed the point

Because the majority of beer drinkers don't drink it for the taste, they drink it to get a kick from the drug.

Ar No Surge.

it's an aquired taste. i don't know why you'd want to force yourself to like beer, but i'd recommend drinking mixed drinks first, such as a rum and coke or sprite/7-up/citrus soft drink mixed with vodka, once you have a decent buzz going you should be able to handle some beer. drink a few of em and eventually you wont mind the taste. keep that up on enough separate occasions and eventually you won't mind beer's taste by itself.

alternatively just go out with people and buy beer and drink it til you like it. it'll happen, eventually.

Because it leans heavily on the introspection, and there are consistent non-contradictory narratives within the comics themselves, not to mention a lot of them lean heavily on the commentary with a half-hearted attempt at a joke at the end to make it relevant to the whole 'web-comic' thing. I recall an interview where Randall stated a webcomic is better than a science blog because it breaks up the exposition into digestible parts, implying that it really is just a visual blog to him, admittedly for both science and his own world view.
But really, I'd rather not debate a comic I grew sick of over half a decade ago.

>a kick from the drug
no, not everyone who drinks is an alcoholic user. beer is a light buzz that's fun in a social setting, it's not always about fulfilling a high. it's just a drink to have in a social setting that won't completely fuck you up.

Spoken like a true poorly socialised sperg.

If that were true then they'd just skip right to the vodka, and alcohol-free beer would not exist.

I cringed

>beer is a light buzz that's fun in a social setting

Accomplished thanks to the drug (alcohol), yes. Exactly what I said. You don't need to get completely wasted to enjoy it, though plenty do.

Can you stop being triggered for one moment and rub a few brain cells together?

Nigga, I like my hard liquor piss-ups just as much I do a single Corona and slice of lime with my dinner but for different reasons.

>beertards getting triggered again

Thank god alcoholics die young

>Le pepe !! xD
>cringe
Fuck off

Alcohol is addictive, that's a scientific fact. Whether beer is weak shit as you said is irrelevant. My point is that you don't actually get over the shit taste of beer. It's your brain getting hijacked to make it think beer is alright.

>first beer I ever had was a higher-shelf German beer

It was great. But now I have expensive taste for beer.

I drink too but come on man. Alcohol tastes bad and just gritting your teeth through enough times until you do like it is retarded.

The flash games with the little blue elephant get really meta at times

Achievement Unlocked and This Is the Only Level, I think. I'm sure there are others.

...

Would you enjoy it just the same without alcohol? Because market studies say you wouldn't!

>alcohol is addictive

You're a retard.

I enjoy it just the same with a lower %Alc cider or with just a fruity soft drink, so... yes?

You're missing the point.

If you eat dog shit enough, you eventually get used to the taste.

The only reason to drink alcohol is to get drunk, but for that, you have to tolerate the awful taste.

I cringed

fpbp

God damn this thread got way off topic.

I think a great meta game is Zero Time Dilemma. Granted, the end segments were awful due to the creator sloppily tieing up loose ends using supernatural bullshit, but some of the meta parts were quite a trip.

My favorite: When Carlos told Junpei "But you picked 'Betray' last time!"

explain non-alcoholic beer then you dumbass
it's an acquired taste. acquired taste is a real thing, you know. beer is one of them. just like rare steak, caviar, UFC, and root beer.

Ever 17.

I tend to like the vast majority of beers I try. But then again I avoid anything described as "hoppy"

>Can you stop being triggered for one moment and rub a few brain cells together?
Can you? I'm the one bringing up rational arguments.

I could also just tell you I like the taste of beer. There's literally no way for you to prove me wrong. Maybe it's just time for you to admit that most people aren't functional alcoholics but just have different tastes from you?

No one liked brussels sprouts as a kid either. I guess that means they're objectively bad and adults have been conditioned into pretending to like them?
