D&D 4E Are powers samey?

That statement is false. That is not the conversation you are having here, except maybe with yourself.

You're right, because in a conversation involving @Maxperson, there should be an appeal to a Dictionary-supplied definition of "David Bowie" somewhere in the mix.

I kid.

LOL I know, but that would be cool.

So, this might come as a surprise to you, but there exist people out there that both do not like things that are awesome, and like things that suck.*

Now, these might be people you or I know in real life- not just people we scream at on the internet. You know, friends, family members, significant others.

At a certain point, you have to do one of two things:
A. Decide that this person isn't worth being in your life, because it is absolutely imperative that they understand the awesomeness of David Bowie; or
B. Realize that, dude, it's just friggin' music. People like what they like.

Sure, you can cut these people entirely out of your life because they refuse to understand the cold, hard, objective facts that support your completely correct and unassailable opinion that Batman, given enough time, would totally take down Super Man.

Or, in the end, you can say, "Okay dear. I'll just go to the Taylor Swift that weekend with the dudes, and you and the ladies can catch Gwar."

I mean, there's no accounting for taste, is there?

So .... what were we talking about again? I think it was terribly important, right?


*Things that are awesome, by the way, is an objective standard; aka, what lowkey13 likes.
Things that suck is also objective; aka, what lowkey13 doesn't like.

Dude, I would LOVE to be able to just let bygones be bygones. Water under bridges and all that. But, the cold, hard truth is, EVERY time anything 4e gets brought up, these same arguments, usually from the same people, get trotted out. So, every warlord thread or whatever 4e wild hair people have a bugaboo about, gets drowned out by people who don't play the game, hate the game, and feel the overwhelming need to tell me again and again that they don't like it.

It would be frigging fantastic if I could talk about things in 4e without having to dive down 50 page rabbit holes.

Hmm. Maybe if I link a conversation to Kevin Bacon I just win.

your comrades asked the question. Maybe tell them to stop instead of telling people to not answer their question.

Probably worth keeping in mind that this is a spin-off thread, with even Lowkey noting that how in the original thread the OP began by firing shots against 4e.

I admit I don't know what started this thread. But...stating something that can be construed as having a negative opinion about 4E is not firing shots at it. It's just someone stating an opinion. But it feels like it's always taken as an excuse to explain once more how people were all wrong about 4E, that they just didn't give it a chance or somehow otherwise place the blame for 4E not being particularly successful somewhere else.

Every time someone states anything along the lines of "I did not enjoy playing 4E" it seems to get interpreted as "you cannot have fun playing 4E". Or expressing the opinion "I felt like X" is interpreted as "firing shots against" 4E.

You know what, @Oofta, you clearly know better about what the OP intended in the prior thread without any actual context than I do with context. I look forward to your 20th declaration that this is your last post about 4e in this thread and how you don't care because 4e is a dead edition.

LOL. Well I look forward to you no longer claiming that everyone who states an opinion about 4E you don't care for is "firing shots at 4E".
