Just had someone on Bluesky tell me who I am and totally rewrite my lived experiences as fake because some complaints I had about the game were recurring complaints they had seen from a bunch of people online. What am I supposed to say to that?



I'm a pretty thorough complainer about Mixtape, but I've never even considered going up to someone who loves this game to tell them they're lying and their reasons for feeling how they feel aren't real. Absolute madness going on with this game.



I'm just happy anyone enjoys anything anymore. But I'm not going to pretend that I think this mixtape is even remotely realistic and relatable as an American who has been on this earth for nearly 4 decades. This mixtape isn't a 1999 teenage mixtape. It's a 40-something music buff's nostalgic streaming playlist. There are no radio songs. She can name drop "This Is How We Do It" but she couldn't add "The Crossroads"? "Waterfalls"? The game literally takes place the moment Ricky Martin was exploding and Santana was having a massive resurgence. It just doesn't work…for me.

Did this happen? I report, you decide (Yes, I have included every single reply he's gotten):






Thanks to that daniel guy I found some great Mixtape discourse on Bluesky:
