The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Hussar]

Nearly... I'm one of those weird folks who often appreciates something either despite or even because of just how absolutely objectively bad something is. (As evidenced by my Rocky Horror fandom, lol.)

I know what you mean. It baffles me when people cannot distinguish between things they like and a sort of objective view of quality.

Rings of Power - good example. By most measures, that's a pretty damn quality show. Visually gorgeous. Decent acting. Story is entertaining and engaging. No major plot holes (or no more than usual anyway). All in all, a decent quality show.

But there are people out htere that will tell you in no uncertain terms that it's utter garbage.

Why do people have such a tough time with saying, "I don't like this. It's not for me"?

I mean, heck, I'm not a fan of Game of Thrones. Never got into it. Lots of reasons, but, at the end of the day, I watched like the first three episodes, shrugged and watched something else. But, by no means am I going to say that that is a bad show. It's not. Again, everythign I just said about Rings of Power applies to GoT. I cannot deny that.

It's just not for me.

Wow. What game?

I would rather not say as it would drag me into a discussion that I clearly cannot handle in a mature manner.

Because this is the Internet, where all I have to do is use the word "objectively" and suddenly my personal opinion has a lot more weight behind it.

“But I’ve never heard of that well-known person or thing in the niche realm I love” is not the flex you think it is. It’s you showing your ignorance.

Cyborg Commando. Got to be, it's simply the best-designed RPG of all time. A work of brilliance whose like we will never see again.

oh,so you just wanted to have a circle jerk of how good that action is and how bad that thing is. Gotcha

Sure, but I’m not going to believe you just because you asserted something on the internet either.

I almost put that, or the one about 80% of all statistics being made up.
