Schmooples' Den! The DA News Discussion Thread

To be honest, while I have no issue with discussing the game, what I like and dislike, I'm really starting to lose my patience for this attitude (it's kinda hard to define, but it's like weird toxic positive gatekeeping?) whatever it is that drives people into thinking the fact they liked the game entitle them to dictate who is and isn't allowed to engage in discussions here.

I'm here because even though I dislike this game immensely, and I have very good reasons for it, I find the discussion around it to be interesting (even more interesting and worthwhile than the game itself), in addition to really liking the adjacent discussions it spurns about the industry, other, similar games, etc.

If you're not interested in engaging with me, just don't engage. I promise you that if I lose interest I'll go away.

And btw- all the nonsense you wrote about me in the end of your comment has absolutely nothing with anything I wrote, only your impression of me based on who knows what.. disagreeing with you?

The fact you hide your lousy attitude behind nice words doesn't make it less ugly (not that saying 'dude, just move on then, and stop implying that because the thing stopped satisfying YOU it means that it's objectively bad." Is a very nice way to say things). Come now we are not in kindergarten.

Call it whatever you want. I spoke of my opinion, I don't see why should I give an introduction every time I say the game is bad. Of course it's my opinion, I don't understand why would you assume I think it is some sort of a fact other than if, of course, you only assume the worst of me even though you have no idea who I am and what I really think.

And it's not like you're interested, you're just decided that instead of engaging with what I say you grace me with your lame psyche 101 "maybe you should just move on I'm actually saying it for you" or whatever crap you tell yourself. And all that because I said something you disagree with.

By the way, nothing I said was hyperbolic or dismissive. And if you think it was, why not discussing that instead of (fake) gently asking me to go away?

Alright so because I've been called a bigot an anti woke grifter and a racist transphobe I should take it out on colfoley?

Again, I think making a distinction between arguments and people can do a lot of folks some good. I try very hard not to speak of the person, only the argument. All I ask is for people to do the same.

And please, the word "bad" is not some objective truth. An opinion is implied.
