YongYea's take on Kotaku's Andromeda Development article

The difference is I, or someone that legitimately didn't like the game, didn't create that thread so people that feel the need to derail and attack threads like this haven't bombasted it.

Well, he was wrong to dismiss the Reapers... 

I get this--it becomes a kind of retreat that can be mildly therapeutic. I play games more often these days because I have such high anxiety/depression that I can't relax long enough to binge-watch a tv show unless I'm obsessed with it. and these days I'm on my phone a lot of the time I'm watching a show, because I need something to do with my hands, I hate just sitting there, and I like how it feels to interact with a gameworld vs passively watching. HZD is doing it for me right now--it's fun but also a more emotional game than I'd expected, as well as more mysterious and suspenseful, and I'm falling in love with it. I don't really care if I can technically relate to the character or shape the character, as long as it's a good game. I'll play anything with a decent story and/or immersive gameplay (like Fallout games, which lack in main story but are still really fun, and also gorey and sick in a tongue-in-cheek way I appreciate).

But I think I loved ME more than the other BW games because I could relate to femShep beyond any other character I'd played before. In addition to being fem, she was introverted, insightful, uninterested in small talk (only in getting to the bottom of things), and just always no bullshit, but she was also someone like me who was better than me (braver, more selfless, stronger, wayyyy more confident): something I am but also something I wanted to be, too. It puzzles me when people say Shep is boring. I think why I couldn't relate to Ryder is because she didn't seem to have much of an inward life in comparison, I couldn't quite connect with her go-lucky extroversion--she seemed so bland in comparison to me. But it's not just Ryder--no character has really been as satisfying to play for me than Shep, though I have a feeling that Ellie in TLOU2 will be pretty satisfying for me to play, based on her personality in 1.

Apparently a lot of my posts got wiped out... not that I can blame the mods... the wiped posts in question were a bit... vitriolic. I got heated and I apologize. Kinda easy to get angry when people shit on things you love, but that is my damage, not anyone else's. 

Yeah, I suspect that's a mishmash of TWD fans, TellTale fans and gaming fans. I suppose that could get particularly ugly.

But overall, DragonRacer's right. The TWD fandom in general can be very...passionate.

If you ever want to read an example of just how ugly it can get, I can recommend looking up threads from the finale of Telltale's TWD's season 2 because whoa, talk about things getting ugly and getting so quickly.

Drama? Nice. I like where this is going already.

Helpful reminder: If you ever get mad at someone's thread, just gaze at the awesome boobies of my avatar!

Mad?
I don't get mad -angry, agitated, annoyed, irritated, gibb-slap worthy -sure but mad -nope never.
And be glad I don't -for if I did none would survive:

And what fight is that, exactly?
Clearly it's not just 'providing information', so what is it?
