How about puppies? Do you have the heart for a puppy?

 

Well I always have the heart for puppies. 

[Dio Demon]

But it's so fun

Yeeaaaaaaaah. No.

 

I'm argumentative but it leads to more anger and makes you miserable in the long run.

Tali sweat fanatics are an oppressed group. Heh.

I don't care about Tali - or her sweat - I don't even like the ME series (too much shooting - despite my renewed efforts).  My point was they (the RPGCodex people)  singled out  that post as proof of this place's weird/deviant/toxic nature, which in turn demonstrated the nature of their chapel/faction mindset.

Is it, really?

I mean for you, specifically. It always seems like you're positively incensed by the existence of anything you don't approve of, even in a safe fictional context. Are you not as furious as you seem, or do you somehow enjoy being angry?

Not really. This forum is just full of people I think are douchebags so I treat them as such. Also, considering that some of the people outright endorse genocide, support nazis, and more, I tend to not like them at all.

However, I've befriended people with different opinions. Colonelkillabee and Xil have different opinions than me on certain things yet we are amiable. Heck, I even seemed to be getting along with steelcan over mutual hatred of n7moron.

Look me up on Reddit or the Bethesda forums if you want to see how I discuss things on other sites.

I can pm you my usernames if you really want to know

Yeah...I get the sense that Dean will never be irrelevant for some people.

Nice to know I'll always be in your heart

People cared about somebody's grandpa?

Man, this place was even worse than I thought.

Oh hey guys, what's going on in this threaaand we are off to do something else for now.

It's like having a fan, but less sycophantic.

 

Not your best work. I think this sort of thing needs too much processing to actually insult the target. Though I guess it will play well to the gallery of people who have already filed Dean away as one of those nasty cruel feminists or whatever. But I'm not sure how big that class is.

Wait, I'm a cruel feminist now?

 

Since when?

[Vigilant111]

Nah, you're pretty much a mosquito. Or Don Quixote, tilting at windmills and calling them dragons.

 

'Injured party'? The only injury you suffered was not liking a poor ending of a mediocre fiction series. You've lost magnitudes more time bitching about ME3's ending than you ever spenty playing through it, and that's no one's fault but your own. You've spent years making contradictory assertions of what Bioware must do, and then pointing at whatever they did as 'mistreatment' as if anything but your ego was bruised. You spent years being bitter, letting it spill into the Andromeda forums where people actually interested in the next game tried to look forward to it, and complained about anything (and nothing) so long as it gave you an excuse, all while whaffling about whether you'd actually ever even play the game or not. Probably just so you could get into the 'bought game only' parts of the forum, rather than relegated to the irrelevance of general topic.

 

Your 'bad PR' is good PR for them, because you're practically a charicature that validates letting this place die.

 

Few, if any, people are going to go 'wow, this new guy Iakus has an entirely rational, well-reasoned opinion to still be criticizing ME3 years after it happened.' You're either going to end up in a cauldron of like-minded people equally fixated on imagined slights as you, or a bunch of people far less 'hard core' than you who go 'Dude, it's been three four years, and it wasn't that big a deal back then. Get over it.'

 

At which point, going by past trends, you'll either continue to stick around and largely be ignored by all but a few people who like poking at your frequently over-the-top claims and diatrabues, or you'll go off to a like-minded cauldron of resentment and stew before going back to bother people who'd generally prefer to talk about things they enjoy, rather than fixate for another half-decade.

 

Why go through the trouble of posting so many words? You could have simply just said "So and so is crazy.", ah because the world NEEDS to know about this vile, despicable person who destroys corporate reputations and personal dreams?

I don't know...I think it's just normal "romance is for sissies" snobbery combined with normal "biological functions are gross" instinct.

I've never quite understood how/why things like combat mechanics (which are always an abstraction) are an oh-so-important part of role-play whereas a character's relationships with other people in that world are not. Seems a bit backwards to me.

[crimzontearz]

Now with this in mind how much do we wanna bet EA commissioned Andromeda by the numbers and it will "borrow" a crapton of mechanics from DAI because their telemetry told them people loved them and then turned it up to 11 because "the awesome button was actually a good idea and it only failed because the toxic toxic community made it fail?

But actually pointing it out with painful precision to the developers will be nearly impossible because, lo and behold, now the only way to communicate with them is on social media platforms where we are drowned by the white noise.

All in all one has to admit it is a clever way to APPEAR like you are trying to have a meaningful conversation with the fans while really trying to avoid anything that is not positive "you are awesome" feedback that drowns any dissent.

Combat mechanics are the bread and butter of a TPS like ME or an RPG like DA, whilst a couple of minutes of poorly written fan service fluff like the "romances" are just... well, fluff.

Sure, if your primary reason for playing is all about combat. For some people, role-playing is about making in-character decisions, and how they relate to and deal with other people in that world is a big part of that.

Personal attacks are classier when you use a lot of words.

[A post unrelated to an apparent bickering going on above]

 

Well, since I've spent a fair bit of time on these forums in the last couple of years... though much is taken, much abides et cetera...

 

See y'all, Space Cowboys.

To be fair, I understand that if you do not expect to have to interact with someone anymore nor the place where you interacted with them to just get it out of your system and burn bridges.

 

I have done it a couple times before and I get that people change, and that I could meet them again nowadays and get along just fine but at the time? It was cathartic to finally say what I had beel holding back for months.

When it attracts people like Tali's sweat guy (which admittedly is a very bizarre thing to research), I can understand how people would feel alienated by that degree of fixation. 

 

But then sometimes they take this one example and kind of run with it, referring to it as a "group," like this was some kind of club of sweat obsessed posters.

 

But it wasn't. It was just one strange man. Picking out the eccentrics within a group and trying to cast them as representative of a whole is just bad discourse. 

[Star fury]

Looking forward to discuss Bioware games alongside angry Trump supporters on Reddit and with Tumblrinas on their social network.

[Puddi III]

I kind of appreciated where Tali's sweat guy was coming from after taking organic chemistry tbh

[Furisco]

Everything needs to be good.

 

If the gameplay of a game isn't that fun it's really difficult to get invested on it.

[AlanC9]

And bad discourse is kind of what the Codex does. That link was not unrepresentative of them.

True, but I'm not sure where that leaves Seboist's point. It's hard to imagine a development environment where you could trade off gameplay for romance in any kind of organized fashion; they involve different skillsets. You could trade romance content for other kinds of plot and character development, of course.

There's also a fairly high quantity of bizarre romance/sex threads that pop up in these here forums. Never mind that the vast majority of them are trolls doing it to make fun of those who appreciate romance content.

Wait a minute. Even if we say that the message of Dean's post was "Iakus is crazy" -- a correct interpretation for some values of "crazy" -- there's a huge difference between posting "Iakus is crazy" and "Iakus is crazy for these reasons."
