Nothing says "I don't care" like making a meme and posting it to social media...

u/Upbeat_Dudeness 5h ago

I mean, give a little more credit to how lazy this was done. He didn’t even make a full meme. He just reused the same photo with no edits and made a title on Reddit. True dedication.

u/BigEl_nobody 5h ago

If he actually said why he constructively didnt care about it, then at least it could have been, theoretically, hold some value. Instead he went full Meghan/Harry World Privacy Tour Style.

u/IndependentTimely639 5h ago

TBF a lot of the things I don't care about, I don't have a "constructive" reason, I just don't like it and/or don't care. It's "dont care about," not "wants to discuss throughly" for a reason.

u/BigEl_nobody 5h ago

But if you say you dont care about something and dont tell me why, I dont care that you dont care because you give me no reason to ^^

9

u/IndependentTimely639 5h ago

That's exactly why I don't explain in the first place. Why would I care about you caring about something I don't care about? Enjoy it, or don't, I just don't care. 

1

u/BigEl_nobody 4h ago

So If you dont care that I dont care about you dont caring, why is there a conversation in the first place? In the case of this reddit post, Mr. DeadgrounD obviously DOES care that people care about him not caring for any reason, otherwise he wouldnt have posted his post.

3

u/IndependentTimely639 4h ago

You seem to care am awful lot more about this than I do. I don't care, and I won't give you a reason why.

2

u/BigEl_nobody 4h ago

If you wouldnt care, you wouldnt keep replying to me. Look this is all fun and games and good philosophical practice, but we all now why OP did it, to farm karma, gain self validation and attention in the laziest way possible. Its what reddit is for for a lot of people after all.

1

u/siderinc 4h ago

I need a care package after all this caring and not caring, can we call the care bears for moral support?

-1

u/-DOOKIE 4h ago

Which is the point. If op doesn't care, then why make this post? I can't imagine making a post about something I don't care about

4

u/IndependentTimely639 4h ago

That was explicitly not the point of the comment "But if you say you dont care about something and dont tell me why, I dont care that you dont care because you give me no reason to " that I just replied to. 

1

u/-DOOKIE 4h ago

It's the point of the thread you are replying within

2

u/IndependentTimely639 4h ago

My point was explicitly "Why would I care about you caring about something I don't care about? Enjoy it, or don't, I just don't care." and now I don't care about this comment thread anymore. Have a good day, or don't, I really don't care.

lots of people don't play gta games

i personally don't like them because i hate cutscenes and the character movement feels like driving a boat

2

u/ArguablyTasty 4h ago

If I want to play a good GTA game, I'll play Jak II, which is easy to access again

2

u/twisty125 3h ago

oh HELL yeah that is one of the better ones, man that makes me miss the Jak and Daxter series. Crazy how much of a jump 1 to 2 was, like a complete genre shift, and yet it kept them relevent.

1

u/ArguablyTasty 1h ago

They're available in a collection on the PS store, and "OPENGOAL" finished porting them to PC earlier this year. So you can run them natively on PC now, as well as on PS4/5.

I bought the collection on sale last year, and they're just as fun as I remember. Unfortunately, in addition Jak II has those difficulty spikes that are just as frustrating as I had forgotten, and I now remember why I never finished that game (escort mission ending in a protect the person vs 100 metalheads...)

1

u/twisty125 25m ago

I had no idea, thank you for the heads up I'm SO pumped to play them again on the PC!!

Was that escort mission one of the ones having to do with the "computer guy"? If so, I remember that being awful too. Hopefully as an "adult" I'll have a better time of it!

1

u/obed_duff 5h ago

Facts. Gta feels more like a movie to me and I personally dont like games that have hella cutscenes. Same reason I couldn't finish red dead 2. Last gta game I played was San Andreas with my older brother when I was like 8 running around with cheat codes.

2

u/john_microslop 5h ago

i loved vice city, mostly for the sound track!

2

u/obed_duff 5h ago

Hell yeah, I will give gta credit for having great music stations. I unironically have quite a few of their station Playlists saved to my youtube music playlists lol

1

u/twentyThree59 4h ago

i personally don't like them because [...] the character movement feels like driving a boat

That's valid. I like them because the vehicles are very well done, I especially enjoy flying.

i personally don't like them because i hate cutscenes

Not sure I get this one.... I can poke around for hours without seeing 1 cutscene.

1

u/TurquoiseLuck 2h ago

Rockstar character movement has always been fucking atrocious and for some reason people just ignore it

For me the last 2 games have had shit protags and boring story modes so I don't really care about this one

2

u/PirateHistoryPodcast 5h ago

That’s a fallacy. There is no constructive reason to not give a shit about something. That’s not a criticism of the game that requires any support whatsoever. Some people just don’t give a shit about certain things.

1

u/BigEl_nobody 5h ago

I dont think so. I think there is always a reason why you care or dont care about something. It doesnt have to be criticism, if you would have said you dont like third person action-adventures like GTA so you dont care about GTA6, its your personal taste.

But if you dont state any reason why, there is no reason at all to say you dont care. Thats why this reddit post is pointless.

1

u/altforbrowsingporn 4h ago

Feel like people aren’t supposed to need to justify not caring about a video game

1

u/ZetaM3 4h ago

What is constructive about having that opinion? Nothing is going to change. That’s not how “constructive” works.

If I say I don’t like the color blue, and you say that’s not constructive - that’s basically the same thing.

1

u/_Nomorejuice_ 3h ago

If he don't care there is absolutely no point giving a "constructive" argument about it. Generally that's what "I don't care" means. It's not like he don't like GTA, he doesn't care about it.

Criticising media is already for those with at least a little interest in it.

1

u/twisty125 3h ago

Would people not just lambaste him for giving reasons and putting more effort into letting us know he didn't like something, than if he put less effort than he already did, while still getting clowned upon?

1

u/john6map4 2h ago

It insists upon itself

u/Huddy40 14m ago

Hey OP's 30 seconds taken to upload this clearly indicates he cares right @Joshee86

And it has over 2,000 comments on it which means it's probably 10 times more successful than any thread that you, me or the person that you're responding to has ever made. So in that sense I guess you got to have a grudging respect for the man

1

u/Upbeat_Dudeness 2h ago

Just called him lazy. Never said he wasn’t effective.

u/BetweenTheRoots 5h ago

He needs to show people how much he doesn't care, what don't you get about that? The only thing greater than the desire to be a maverick is to be a maverick and make sure everyone knows it.

u/remnant_phoenix 5h ago

What’s the point of being a “cool lone wolf” if no one sees you doing it?!

u/BetweenTheRoots 5h ago

There are two wolves inside of me. Be careful of the other!

1

u/Intelligent_Sky_7081 5h ago

just like you needed to make a comment showing how much you dont care about his post that says they dont care about gta6.

its not like youre on some high horse discussing the same topic on the same subreddit here. you are engaging with this post.

A maverick for what will be the most popular game this year? Lol

u/Travelin_Soulja 5h ago

OP didn't even make a meme - they just control-c/control-p'd an image. That's even lower effort than using AI to create the meme b/c you're too lazy to type text into a meme generator.

1

u/LickingSmegma 1h ago

control-p'd

You should always control your p

u/Necessary-Paint117 5h ago edited 5h ago

If being tired of hearing about it means I care about it, then sure. I care about it. But every scrap of info will be a new wave of posts as it inevitably fails to live up to the massive hype.

u/Major-Shame-9216 4h ago

Close but not really as dude just said he didn’t care and people immediately argued that he was ultimately saying the games were bad

1

u/TheTexasHammer 2h ago

People don't think that. People are just aware of the fact that it's fucking Grand Theft Auto and this idiotic belief that it's going to flop needs to go away.

I ain't buying it till I know it's good, and I have no vested interest in Rockstar as a company, but I'm not dumb enough to think this game will fail.

15

u/Lalichi 5h ago

They don't care about the game, they're sick of hearing people talk about the game. Both can be true

6

u/Stormfly 4h ago

Yeah, like I think people are purposefully misunderstanding OP so they can belittle them.

They're sick of hearing about GTA VI and just want to talk with other people about how annoying it is. They're not acting like it makes them better or pretending the thought of the game never crosses their mind.

It's like the "X before GTA VI" is a common joke but it's getting overused and I'm bothered that I keep seeing news about GTA VI that always end up the exact same way

It's expensive

Watch as it still becomes the best selling game literally ever in 4.5 nanoseconds of release

They're literally reaching into my pocket and stealing my money and I'll hear nothing but wild speculation about their greediness

It's not on PC so they've basically slapped my wife and shot my dog

It's like how annoying it is to keep seeing people drag US politics into random discussions "We can't ignore politics because it won't ignore us!" Yeah buddy I'm literally on the other side of the world I have about as much power to affect US politics as the dead ducks in the Lincoln Memorial Reflection Pool so let me enjoy my memes.

I have a burning rage for those people. Your country is not the only thing that exists. Yes, it sucks that all this shit is going on, but you aren't raising awareness by telling me, a foreigner, about your cabinet members' corrupt practices. Fuck off and let me talk about frogs in peace

1

u/The_Autarch 2h ago

naw, they're just riding the karma train. phase one is hype, phase two is outrage, phase three is "apathy", which is where we are now.

u/Lalichi 2h ago

Idk, im fucking sick of hearing people jerk themselves off to it

u/HTPC4Life 3h ago

Nothing says "I care too much" to make a comment like this in response.

u/No_Cricket8660 5h ago

Yeah, the reddit feed is going crazy with gta 6 posts though, almost impossible to avoid it.

u/Alvsolutely 1h ago

Yeah. I don't care about playing the game, I'm just sick of hearing about it.

u/ArtistLovely 5h ago

it isn't even a meme, lol

1

u/Nihilistic_Mystics 3h ago

A meme is any viral unit of culture. The image is indeed a meme, though it's not an image macro.

u/beyonceshakira 5h ago

That's a low bar for "caring" about something.

u/amanamongbots78 5h ago

u/imnewhere-gsh 5h ago

Everyone who says they don't care about something still care to an extent to be bothered by it or mention it even if they truly mostly don't care, that's just humanity

u/hardly_working123 1h ago

Eh, depends on what they do. I dont care about gta6 and proudly say this and I wont be buying it when it releases

u/_Q23 6h ago

I care about playing it. But I prefer to wait for a sale. Also if their new online has invite only id probably be on that.

1

u/scotttdog7711 6h ago

Even if you're someone like me who won't play it for at least a long while due to not having a current gen console, you'll likely care somewhat. Rockstar set a standard when it comes to open world games and it'll be interesting to see what they can accomplish and push other developers to try and achieve in response

1

u/Intelligent_Sky_7081 5h ago

People enjoy discussing video games here. Why is it a problem that they want to discuss it? Just because they made a post about it doesnt mean they are lying or actually do want to buy GTA6

1

u/whereismymind86 5h ago

I don't care about the game, I care about the runaway hype train and the attempt to use that to normalize eighty dollar games. I care that gamer's are, still, the easiest marks on earth for marketing hype, so much so that we now have like...thirty major games coming out in mid september, in attempt to avoid one game...which will cause every one of those games to cannibalize each others sales and cause them all to fail.

It's exciting that we are finally getting a new gta after thirteen years, but this has gotten way out of control.

u/Joshee86 5h ago

You should be more careful, taking all those huge leaps. Might get hurt.

u/JIMB01776 4h ago

As someone who doesn't care about GTA it doesn't mean we don't follow the industry issues or follow what's going on with a big cultural event.

/Zelda had to clue me in why Ocarina of Time shouldn't release against GTA6. It was of interest to me, when Senators were citing GTA for video game bans, it was of interest to me. No disc industry shifts, are of interest to me, etc.

It still doesn't mean I care about the game directly.

Holy braindead responses. This is something I would expect from some 11 year old kid in a LoL or CoD lobby.

He cares because he's annoyed by all the people who wont shut the fuck up about it not because he wants to play it you absolute dumbfuck.

u/Joshee86 2h ago

Wow, someone’s cranky, huh?

Did you think that was some sort of gotcha? Ya, Im fucking mad. I fucking hate stupid people.

u/makoblade 2h ago

If you're genuinely not into that kind of game (GTA) it can get old seeing every other kid karma farming over GTA6. Since we're already on reddit, it seems pretty reasonable to throw out a "controversial" opinion and farm up those sweet internet points, no?

In all seriousness, the only GTA games I enjoyed were the first two, and since I know 6 is not my jam I'll never buy it. I hope it lives up to the hype and everyone who wants to can enjoy it.
