  • Good question. But so hard to put a percentage to it. If 50% of it is Twee but the other 50% is pure Dark, is it still Twee? I don't know.

    I'm gonna say 30% Twee... 20% Black As Sin and the other 50% assorted Others.

  • I like serfer0's post, so I'll go with that.
    Although I'd possibly go for a little more on the hobnobs and a little less on the napping.

  • Wait - is that a new quest?  One, two, twee, four?  

    I hear the wood twee is the hardest one to find, so start with that.

  • this is tweetarded

    lol just kidding. maybe 30% in chat and 10% in game. I like to be nice and friendly, but not sickeningly so.

  • Based on the urban dictionary link, I like definition 3.

    The noise a sparrow makes the moment it dies.
    Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, twee.

  • considering what a negative connotation twee has, I would cap it at 3% max.

    3%   twee
    11% Wash (curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, whoah, good bible)
    22% Nicely malty Assam 
    18% Mad World cover, sung by Voldemort
    34% Afternoon naps 
    12% Thousand layer lasagna with fresh homemade noodles

  • Here's how I would think about the question. If Animal Crossing is 90% twee and Grand Theft Auto is 0% twee, how would you rate Glitch?

  • please answer magic panda's question.

    i would have to say that currently glitch is *at least* 30% Twee, so from my perspective almost everyone here is requesting a substantial reduction in Twee.

  • I put Glitch far closer to majority-twee status, I'll randomly assign it 66% on the magic panda scale.

    My husband is curious, but has proclaimed Glitch "impossibly twee" and likely won't play as a result. A reduction in tweeness would be acceptable and maybe welcome, but I'm not sure it's feasible at this point, and it's almost surely unlikely.

  • rofl - I loved serfer's post! +1
    There's tweeness definitely. How about we analyse which things aren't twee - I want to know where dark chocolate hobnobs and Voldemort come in.
    * Tree poison is dripping in dark treacleness (should thast be treacality?)
    * Its a terrible shock the first time you come home to find all your pigs have turned into bacon - thats definitely Voldemort.
    * Hell is not twee - the music is way too cool!
    * You could argue that killing rocks is harsh - especially when hitting them in the face...
    * And what about crystalising fireflies - what kind of tweeness is that? We'll have a league against cruelty to fireflies next and all plain crystals will be banned. As for baking them into bricks in one of those infernal machines........ Plain devilish!
    * And messing around examining and picking up piggy plops and guano is definitely way down dirty.
    * And what do they do with all those hog-ties piggies we donate to projects at times?
    * And do you remember the Interrogation Room? What kind of dark was that? After Eight Mints!!!!!

    Definitely some dark, non-twee elements there!

  • Twoodle, disagree with you on some of those.

    Subject matter isn't what Twee is founded on, it is all in the presentation.

    ~Not Twee~

    Tree Poison : Actually not Twee in any way. Legitimately dark. Proof that "cartoony" doesn't automatically equal Twee.
    Pigs/Bacon : Nibbling is about as Twee as it gets, but starvation death isn't 'presented' as such, thus not Twee.
    Fireflies : Not Twee.
    Hog Tied Piggies : Not Twee.
    Interrogation Room : Not Twee .. also not at all prominent.

    ~Twee~

    Hell : is Twee. Takes a normally dark subject and makes it kyoot by having you scramble around Tweely squishing stuff and poof! no harm done.
    Killing Rocks : They grow back quickly and while they complain about being hit with a pick, they do so humourously. Twee.
    Piggy Plops: Twee as heck. Taking something normally gross and poopy and turning it into good clean fun is totally Twee.

  • Fudge Yeah Kukubee: 1000% Twee.
    Posted 18 months ago by Hburger Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hmmm, take your point on some of those Striatic. They aren't dark because they've been made humourous or harmless.
    I'm not sure I'd say twee thought either - that makes me think of cottages with flowery curtains and little ole grannies with yappy dogs and plaid rugs.
    Maybe a new category - I'm sure serfer could come up with one?
    Its an interesing question Striatic, I think I've been trying to push the tweeness away because I like the game and am generally NOT into anything twee.
    Maybe the humour also makes the twee into something slightly other? And therefore more acceptable? There is something pretty dodgy about nibbling and petting piggies after all.
    I guess somewhere the Devs have some overarching balance they are trying to keep (or maybe not!). Does Glitch have a philosophy?
    Sorry Striatic - hope you don't mind if I differ with you a little on this one. Shucks, we can't agree on everything after all!
    ;) Conclusion - 60% twee

  • agree with ER that it's about 2/3rd twee, and think it's at a pretty good sweet spot.  the rook might change things, but then the twee-lovers amongst us will have a fun game to save the twee!

    in conclusion, tweeeeeeeee.

  • +1 for Nanookie's post, then add another million for the Wash reference.

  • I was unaware that twee had negative connotations. I've never considered it a negative thing! 

    I'm bad with numbers but did recently describe the game as "twee as fuck" when a friend was over and saw me playing and asked me to tell him about the game. 

    So, that's my answer. Glitch is twee as fuck. And I like it that way.

  • yeah, Twee does have some negative connotations.

    fits into the "infantilization of culture" meme that's circling around these days.
    Posted 18 months ago by striatic Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh that meme's been going around for decades :) I never really lumped Twee in with that. To me it's more lighthearted, sincere, and nostalgic than it is immature or infantile. I guess I can see the crossover though.

  • Yes, 11% Wash is about right, Nanookie! But an additional 6% River Tam would also be appreciated. Perhaps a pretty bonnet on which to swear revenge in the wardrobe?
