Certainly hasn’t for me. But maybe it’s because I already lack the responses people normally have to babies. Maybe that’s also related to the reason cilantro tastes like soap to me? We should study this.

I was more worried because of how they’ve shown themselves to be inconsistent hypocrites. The fear this time was that I could not confidently guess which direction they would go — ignoring it or making it their excuse for coming after us. The situations with uncertain outcomes are the worst.

I’m becoming convinced that these people are themselves the trolls, hence them constantly calling us trolls. Their entire schtick is just starting shit and then saying we’re lying about everything we say and do. They rarely address what’s actually said and just keep making accusations.

I think it’s difficult because we aren’t working with an exact definition of when something is considered a war, which means most of us have our own little lines in the sand for it. When LA happened, I told my wife that I thought it was the start, because for me it’s about where intent meets action

That said, since different games have different focuses, are you doing anything to help make that clear in scores? My thinking is that final scores often end up being a reflection of the scorers personal taste. People who prefer story, action, or crafting will all have different preferences.

This sounds awesome! Sentiments about the problems in open world games are prevalent, but reactions to that in design are really hit or miss. Having a real system to grade these things might actually help.

I think it bothers me most as someone who values ranges of experience on an intellectual level. Like, I enjoy learning about the distinctions and the variance within a particular group. It’s cool to see people associating with a topic in dynamic ways.
Emi, Midnight Hagette 🏳️⚧️ (@nutricious-snack.bsky.social) reply parent
Which makes it even worse when your own tastes or feelings align with that group, because you don’t want to be part of their circle. At the same time, you don’t want to be treated as lesser or indirectly insulted for the ways in which you’re similar to them.
Emi, Midnight Hagette 🏳️⚧️ (@nutricious-snack.bsky.social) reply parent
Part of this I blame on the centrist sort of thinking that less enthusiastic members of a community can have — that the more “extreme” people are problematic or off-putting in some way. They just have to start shit over people being “too different”.
Emi, Midnight Hagette 🏳️⚧️ (@nutricious-snack.bsky.social) reply parent
You don’t want to try defending yourself though, because if it’s really a joke then people get upset that you’re ruining it. You begin to feel like you’re more of a guest amongst people you mostly relate to. Enjoy what you can, ignore what you can’t, and don’t cause a fuss.
Emi, Midnight Hagette 🏳️⚧️ (@nutricious-snack.bsky.social) reply parent
But the idea that people are wrong or misguided for not enjoying or wanting the same things to the same degree bothers me. It puts you in a very uncomfortable position when the sentiment being mocked is one you relate to.
Emi, Midnight Hagette 🏳️⚧️ (@nutricious-snack.bsky.social) reply parent
The nature of the jokes tend towards implying that those who aren’t on the same level are in some way ignorant, scared, or misled. And I get it, I can see how people end up making these jokes or actually holding these positions.
Emi, Midnight Hagette 🏳️⚧️ (@nutricious-snack.bsky.social) reply parent
But then you also will see comments and jokes made at the expense of people who aren’t all-in. And when you don’t fully relate, it gets harder and harder to tell when it’s actually a joke, and when you’re being insulted.
Emi, Midnight Hagette 🏳️⚧️ (@nutricious-snack.bsky.social)
Online communities can be lonely places at times due to a high level of polarization. I think part of it comes from the communities being treated poorly by “normies”, leading those who are most enthusiastic about the community to lean into it harder. Which is pretty reasonable.
