I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I've noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I've filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it's insane. I don't know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn't become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

The site just became so unbearable the last year or so.

Found it hard to have discussions on the bigger subs because it felt like it was just too easy for people to just swoop in and be a dick.

Once replied to a post about a student having to drive 2 hours home from college to visit. People were saying that was an insane amount to drive and that it wasn't reasonable. It was in Texas and they were just driving from Houston to Austin which really isn't insane. My college was the same amount of distance here and I drove back each weekend.

Had somebody angrily reply with how that was bullshit and I was a moron for thinking it was normal to drive like that. Also said I was what was wrong with the site (lol).

All I did was try to give my own personal experience with being in college im Texas when your university is 100 miles away and I got weirdly attacked. Like it was my fault for the size of my state lmfao

I live in canada and a 2 hour drive home from college is the norm lol. But yeah i get you thats frustrating, its like some people are just looking for a fight.

I once commented in a thread about RPGs and how i was excited for Baldurs Gate 3, and these two guys jumped on me saying how it was sad i was excited for a turnbased RPG when turnbased RPGs were a dead genre.

I pointed out pokemon is turnbased and sells gangbusters and dragon quest 11 sold 10m but I was wasting my time because they both just continued with childish insults

Some people - many people in larger cities - literally to that far to/from work on a daily basis (which IMO is kinda crazy and I'm glad the push for WFH is helping change that)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Those types of gatekeepers are the worst. Turn based RPGs are great games and having more should never be an issue lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I pointed out

No use in arguing with people who want to yuck your yum.

Baldurs Gate 3 looks fantastic and I'm looking forward to giving it a go at full release :)

Bro you have to try fire emblem and onimusha tactics

I wish I could be hyped over BG3, or anything in the CRPG fantasy genre; but everyone's got the same basic, boring 'core four' races, the same core rulebook classes, and I'm the kind of tabletopper who was always ass-deep in the splatbooks looking for the more interesting, not-dime-a-dozen races and classes. Like, where's BG3's elemental planetouched? Where's the beastfolk(that don't look like a Krogan's head on a human's body)? Why are there eleven varieties of elf here?

Idk, shit just depresses me because there's not a fantasy setting for me to really immerse in to get away from all my friend groups chattering positively about FFXVI.

I just started baldurs hate 3 this weekend!

It feels like an actual real rpg. Which is missing from the genre these days

Love it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Turn-based combat rocks though! It feels more strategic and tactical.

Some people on the internet live in a very detached reality... 😅

Shrug. I went to college out of state and it was 2 hours from home. Wasn’t a big deal to me. It’s not like I visited every weekend tho. I’d visit maybe once or twice a semester.

I am independent and like to spread my wings. My g/f at the time was 1.5 hour away and we managed to see each other several times a semester.

I guess I don’t see the big deal. Everyone deals with challenges differently I guess. To me it’s just a thing to do to get better. It’s not permanent. Just a minor hurdle.

Was a "fuck cars" user? They can be pretty ignorant and unreasonable sometimes.

Maybe you should've just biked that 100 miles. Lol
