@Heavyarms55 You do seem to have a bit of a “I don’t like it, ergo it is objectively bad” attitude about a few select topics.

So it’s not weird that some people get “triggered” by your comments, since they can come off as aggressive.

Dunno about your opinions on VR though, haven’t seen too many posts about that.

@Morpheel Look, I get it, everything I have said on this issue is wrong. Period. I am wrong, in everything I said. I give up. VR is the best bloody thing since sliced bread! I am never sharing any other opinion on that topic on this site again because clearly it's a really bad idea.

I try very hard to avoid stating my opinions as facts because I don't like it when others do that very thing. But if people interpret my personal dislike as an assertion stating something being objectively bad... well honestly, I blame them. I'm not really sure how I can be much clearer. Personally liking or disliking something is not the same thing as stating it is objectively good or bad.

Is that really such a common thing? That when people hear or read another person saying "I don't like X" they take it as some kind of code for "X is bad" ??? People should say what they mean! If I actually think something is legitimately, objectively bad, I will make that very clear. Or maybe not. Because this entire fiasco has me seriously doubting my own ability to communicate.

But it's yet another friendly reminder that, communication, like nearly everything else I do in life, I freaking suck at. But that's fine. Just one more thing I fail at. It was already a long list. One more thing ain't gonna hurt.

@Anti-Matter The request from "Thrawn" was me. If it suddenly turns into "Joe" it's me. I go back and forth sometimes.

@Morpheel Either that, or he just means that because @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy is simply the best-rated voice actor, she's nearly always the one being hired to dub all these animes...

@Heavyarms55 I wouldn't sweat it. I think you're fine. It's part of the problem with the internet, sometimes it's hard to know if people are joking or serious, and it's really hard to communicate with people because of that fact. Don't think you're doing anything wrong or that you're bad at it. Even I sometimes have trouble explaining my opinion on something if I don't like it. In turn it just unfortunately makes it sound like what were saying is fact, if we don't put at the end , IMO. So hang in there, you're OK in my book for what it's worth 😆

@NintendoByNature Completely agreed concerning online communication. I myself am a highly social and empathic person, but have at times found myself in the weirdest, most unwanted discussions, being painted as some kind of asocial megalomaniac. Must be the avatar or something...

Comes with the territory, indeed, of being online, and missing essential factors like voice intonation and facial expressions, making people assume all kinds of things sometimes. And as I've often said, the internet unfortunately also gives a voice to people that shouldn't have any, or people that you'd simply be able to ignore in real life, such as extremists of whatever kind, but online, it's pretty hard to avoid them.

Just take a look at the average YouTube comments section. It's a true cesspool sometimes...
Luckily, this community here is still pretty decent. Don't like the ignore button, though: I know for a fact that some people have ignored me based upon similar misunderstandings, and that bothers me immensely.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy You're welcome. And I forgot you are a teacher. Would have been the easier choice, but I obviously tried to explain the whole voice acting thing...

@ThanosReXXX yep you're exactly right . Twitter gets pretty rough too. Aside from linkedin this is the only form of social media im on. Honestly I feel alot better about not being on those platforms, not that there's anything wrong with being on them but for me, I just grew tired of the hatred, know it alls, and the look how good my life is. That's why i like NL so much. Since it's pretty much only gaming discussions ( aside from this thread), I can relate to alot of People.

Talking about the avengers, apparently there were small riots in cinemas around here because they ran out of space for the premiere.

@NintendoByNature Yeah, not much of a social media fan either, for pretty much the same reasons you mentioned.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Well, to be honest: since I eradicated half of the universe with a finger snap, the job got 50% easier...

There was also some guy that pulled a Dumbledore spoiler to a line waiting outside and then he got beat up. Don’t remember which country.

In real life, I’ve had numerous people compare me to George from Seinfeld. I have a tendency to go on rants.

And here I am with my pre-ordered tickets for Detective Pikachu.

We almost went to see the avengers on premiere day though. But I guess it wasn't meant to be.

@AlohaPizzaJack Well, at least me and @ReaderRagfish got the sitcom part right...

@Morpheel So... I guess your Endgame got delayed then, huh?

Well to be fair the only avengers movie I've watched is Age of Ultron.

I'm not exactly up to date with the lore, and I'm in no rush to catch up.

I think I'm going to see it on Tuesday.

@Morpheel Aha... Well, then it would seem that it indeed WAS to be. No use watching Endgame if you haven't watched the first half of that story line. Much of Endgame is going to make no sense to you whatsoever if you don't know all about the "previously, on Avengers" bit...

I'm gonna have to skip Endgame unfortunately. I've seen some of the MCU movies but feel like I'd be missing some context here. Unfortunately I kind of know how Infinity War ended despite not seeing it. I can sometimes avoid online spoilers for months on end, but sometimes I accidentally run across something....

Everyone: LOL It's been a week! Spoiler timez! 🤪

Me: But but...I haven't seen it yet!

I totally understand all the memes circulating about not spoiling this one.


@ThanosReXXX 10-4 on the barbecue! 8D Though I am pretty introverted in general, so I'd probably show up, eat, socialize a little, then quietly fade out. XD I certainly enjoy helping people, but I admittedly don't have the most welcoming demeanor IRL due to shyness/some discomfort in public settings in general. I often worry that it comes off negatively on some people.

@HeavyArms55 I totally get where you're coming from. Just because one disagrees with something doesn't mean they objectively hate that concept/person/group etc. It's a fallacy of the internet.

While I much prefer communication via text as it's easy to proofread, there's still the loss of tone and body language to name a few things. Even so, I've never been the best interpreter of meanings and sarcasm...though I've gotten better. If a post comes off in a negative tone to me, I try to read it from a different point of view.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy "Google Easter egg"

Eh?

@Morpheel

P.S.

Some Marvel completionists/extremists might also argue that besides Avengers Infinity War, you would also first have to see the Captain Marvel movie, seeing as she plays an essential role in Endgame.
