Not trolling, being harsh but helpful. If you want an example as to what a troll looks like, open nearly any thread and see the exact poster who comes running in to shit on whatever topic or game is being discussed within the first 20ish posts. You know exactly who I'm talking about because they're a regular here. Somehow, they hold an immunity from the forum rules. I don't get it, but I don't question it.
Speaking of immunity, I have an immunity to any insults and attacks, so I'll address the following earnestly...
Sometimes I can be, but honestly I find forum conversation fun at times.
Unfortunately, that luxury ran out for me when I turned 26. Parent passed. Admittedly those were good times though.
Sometimes I can be, this time I genuinely wasn't trying to be. We've seen so many of the same 'gaming is dead' style posts here that it has become a broken record at this point. You have literal threads and posts pointing out fresh new experiences (they're literally curating new games for busy people like yourself to play) and yet some of the same posters will just come in to vent and whine that the popular AAA game they bought wasn't as good or fun as they wanted it to be. It's kind of funny when you think about it, and kind of sad a little too.
I didn't insult you at all. I said this "It does if you are either" and listed 4 categories. If you happen to apply to one of the 4, I think it should be a moment of reflection, but instead you took it as a direct insult and lashed out
I will continue to be human and stay classy, not classy, asshole, not an asshole, childish, not childish, etc. Whatever you want it to be I guess. No offense is taken either way.
So was it the jaded category that made you lash out at my post? If you can explain who 'someone like me' is, I'm open to discussing it because I very much doubt I was the type you're describing.
If you're already playing indie and AA, then are you simply not enjoying the hobby as much? If you hated childhood, do you love where you are today? I have a lot of questions... let's discuss.
