/tg/ loves badass, funny or peculiar one-liners, because /tg/ is dorks, and dorks love having the perfect thing to say pre-prepared, because they all have a tiny Travis Bickle living inside of them, and some of them even have NPC's to write dialog for, because some of them actually play games (so it is rumored).

So, for the epigrammist and the edgelord;
Take a one-liner, leave a one-liner.
Because good artists borrow, great artists steal, and there is nothing new under the sun.

I love them in non-interactive media.
When I have limited time to play a game, they're annoying and wasteful.

*are dorks, or "is full of dorks", ESL.

"Have NPC's" what?
What do the NPCs own, ESL?

>to write dialog for, because some of them actually play games
Having dialog takes time away from playing games.

Your one-liners suck, by the way.

are dorks is wrong.

/tg/ is a singular collective proper noun meaning it takes singular verbs. "is dorks," is grammatically fine albeit uncommon in speech or writing.

One way you can tell is by the fact that your prepositional phrase makes no sense when appended to your own correction. "/tg/ are full of dorks," is obviously incorrect which reveals that /tg/ are *blank* is incorrect because the prepositional phrase doesn't change the subject verb agreement. It's just giving additional information.

Although I'm sure someone better versed in English grammar rules will come along and point out some obscure rule that I've overlooked as well, probably.

tl;dr
you were the ESL all along, and OP was just making a funny.

>Having dialog takes time away from playing games.
My table is for roleplaying games, not wargames. There's always dialogue in those.

>>97439154
Any activity in which a person decides the behavior and character of someone who isn't himself is roleplaying.
>>
>>97439175
sure man, Legend of Zelda is roleplaying vidya because you play the role of Link :^)
>>
>>97438646
Both "/tg/ is" and "/tg/ are" can be correct, depending on whether you're treating /tg/ as a single unit (use "is") or as individual members (use "are"), with "is" being standard in American English for the unit and "are" more common in British English when emphasizing individuals. Use"/tg/ is"when /tg/ acts as one cohesive whole (which /tg/ definitely isn't), and"/tg/ are"when highlighting individual players or members acting separately.

>OP was just making a funny.
I just think it's funny to call out people for being retarded, so you shouldn't have an issue.

That argument is really bad because it completely and utterly diffuses the term roleplaying game into nothing. It ceases to be an identifier beyond “this game has a player character” which is an almost irrelevant identifier. RPG is an identifier used to differentiate, colloquially, whether the game has an overarching story or meaningful stories (and sometimes story defining choices within), and if the game has stats that actually matter in a character’s capabilities. Games like Baldur’s Gate, Dragon Quest, Cyberpunk 2077 are definitely role playing games. Telling people Zelda is an RPG is going to get people looking at you funny because yes you are playing a character, a role, sure, but it’s not like you can do anything to meaningfully change the role you’re playing. The story is taking a backseat to the action, the adventure, even, and progress and the strength of Link and his capabilities are entirely fixed based upon game progression and items.

Now based on how I described it the paradoxical part is how you could describe any of these games as either action adventure or role playing. In fact, you could even go as far as to want to look more like in describing them as action adventure role playing games. But nobody does that shit, on the whole we’ve agreed that parties and hitting things and leveling up story and is an RPG and rolling around at the speed of sound and dungeons more about puzzles and platforming instead of stat checks is action adventure.
>>
>>97439201
That is true, yes, but the sentence he used was referring to /tg/ acting as a unit of us all being dorks, making "is" (arguably) more accurate, and at the very least not incorrect as you implied. It's not about the relative conformity of the group on the whole just in the individual statement.

Also can't believe there are people that go on the internet and willingly admit to agreeing with anything Br*tish. Couldn't be me.

If a term is diffused into nothing, so to speak, then that is the fault of those who coined and perpetuated that term, and of those who parrot the term using ad populum as a substitute for a point.
Roleplay is the act of deciding the behavior and character of someone who isn't oneself. What retards have revolved their entire personalities around doesn't change that.
If I have a can of gasoline and write "TEA" in permanent marker on a sticky note attached to it, the substance inside the can doesn't magically become tea. If ten billion faggots start calling it tea, it doesn't suddenly lose the properties of gasoline and become safe to drink just because everyone decided to call it that.
Just like the lack of flowery description doesn't suddenly make every game a "WaRgAmE". If that were the case, by your own logic, the term wargame would be "utterly diffused into nothing".

Also, quite a stretch to say that Baldur’s Gate, Dragon Quest, and Cyberpunk 2077 allow you to do anything to meaningfully change the role you're playing.

TL;DR, call your retarded time-wasting voices and storyshit "narrative systems" or even "role adoption" as more apt terms, and get the fuck off the tabletop games board.

Exactly. It's the main reason all neighboring countries get pissed off when Japan starts singing the praise of these guys. They were basically just mountain bandits and serial killers living in a hole in the woods shooting random passerby and robbing farmers for supplies.

It is acceptable to pluralize an initialism/acronym with an apostrophe. It is impossible to cite grammar without sounding like an absolute dork, but while the Chicago and APA style guides agree with you, the MLA style guide agrees with OP.

OP's one-liners do suck, though. Why don't you contribute some better ones next time?
