    Wouldn’t a “first person shooter” be where you’re playing as Adam rampaging around Eden with an automatic rifle, shooting those lions that hadn’t figured out how to eat meat yet, and shooting the heads off of snakes and shit?

    It’s like, a race to try to kill God before he kicks you out of Eden.

        The joke is that you’re shooting the first person

        It’s difficult for me to believe that you actually thought I didn’t get their joke. But since you obviously didn’t understand my comment, I’ll turn it around and dumbsplain it for you.

        You see, a First Person Shooter is called that because the player is in first person mode. “First Person” is describing how the player sees things from their character’s perspective. So, if your perspective is actually that of the “first person”, then you’d be seeing things from Adam’s perspective, not from the perspective of seeing Adam. There are other types of games that use the term “shooter” to describe things like the control scheme (twin stick shooter, for example), but “first person” is specifically about the player’s perspective.

          Yeesh, you must be fun at parties. Do you condescend to everyone you interact with, or only from behind the anonymity of the internet?

          Try taking a deep breath and get less butthurt when your bad joke falls flat next time.

            You seem to react negatively to me for imitating your comment back at you, so I only imagine what you must think of yourself, since you’re the actual one who is acting that way. I only copied you.

            My final advice, since I’m blocking you directly after writing this comment, is that you should try to act like a human who is deserving of dignity and self-respect, and I hope that someday you might grow to like yourself.
