Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Scribe]

I got a three-star review on DriveThruRPG when I put 50% of the pages -- the actual content pages, not the cover and legal text -- into the preview, so people could make an informed choice before buying.

People are dumb.

I don't know ... Jimmy Dean sausages are pretty darn awesome. Much better than those trash Bert Saxby sausages.

The review I will never forget is when we were renovating our bathroom and looking at a bath robe hook online. The top review was 0 stars because the person said their towel kept falling off of it. 32 people marked that review helpful.

There is no hope for us.

A cool thing I noticed growing up in a family that was very into that "personal responsibility" flavor of politics: it's actually a way to completely absolve yourself of any responsibility because anything that happens to someone is their own fault.

Just World Fallacy is a helluva drug. It makes the whole world seem much more reasonable, except of course whatever tragedies befall the believer personally, which are obviously exceptions to the rule.

He's obviously trolling. Don't feed the trolls.

But it usually is someone else's fault. I am at the bottom of the totem pole -- the only things I can claim responsibility for are my own actions and their results.

It's like when they successfully got consumers to think that their contributions to pollution were the biggest factor, when it was actually industrial waste and cow farts.

Did you change what was in the preview after people had bought it? Was the complaint you were giving away content they had already paid for or something?

I'm not justifying their review, just curious what exactly the problem was in their mind.

I gave that review because earlier, I had high hopes that the supplement would be exactly what I wanted so I was all excited. And then, when the more-detailed preview went online, I read it and was disappointed that @Whizbang Dustyboots doesn't play the game in exactly the same way that I do. But it was close enough that I only deducted two stars. I want people to know that, when the see the star ratings of items on DTRPG, it tells them how close the item comes to the correct and proper way of playing games.

They didn't put in a review, just gave me a three-star rating. (It was my first rating on the product, so it was obvious what the rating was.)
