Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@BabyYoshi12 As for those friends lists: he's talking about people he befriended because of Animal Crossing. Apparently, he checked the games those people also play besides Animal Crossing, and because their personal tastes/preferences apparently don't sit well with him, he's unfriended them. And that too, is completely insane, far as I'm concerned, and that is what I tried to explain to him, against my better judgment, in my initial comment about it.

@ThanosReXXX @Apportal @BabyYoshi12
We again went into that "anti descussion mode" where a mod has to come and tell us to stop

So let's move on.
Each of us got his opinion and there is no need to continue.

@ThanosReXXX Yeah, I’m going to stop now. It just pains me to see people getting bullied online, and I can be a really defensive person at times. I’m sorry. I just don’t get why people are so harsh on the internet. I haven’t been around a long time, so I don’t know what has and hasn’t been said.

@ThanosReXXX But lots of people don’ play New Horizons anymore, so there’s no point in keeping them.

@BabyYoshi12 Just to tell you there is a difference in criticizing and being an online bully.

The Internet is online community. If he or me or anyone post something here and you do not like it feel free to say well "this is stupid and unnecessary". I see no problem with that.

But please ... please do not think that everyone on the internet is evil and try to bully just because they criticize others stuff.

@Zuljaras I don’t think you’re evil, nor do I think you’re bullying him. I just... feel like it could be slightly nicer? I don’t know. I wouldn’t say “This is stupid”, I’d say “This could be better, here’s how...”. Let’s just move on from this conversation.

Is anyone still playing Clubhouse Games? I felt like everyone was talking about it and then it suddenly died out. I never got it, so can anyone shed some light 😂

@BabyYoshi12 Giving advice on such stuff is of no use. How to give advice to someone when you 100% know he will not listen and continue to repeat the same stuff over and over again.

Also there is no reason to put such people on ignore as you may have a slight chance of them being helpful someday.

For example Anti helped me, indirectly because you know how he talks to people he do not like, about Animal Crossing New Leaf physical edition and about Portal Knights.

But to talk to someone indirectly and explain something to the "air" is just cringy.

@PrincessAzunyan He has a bad history with them, not sure what that history is. Part of the reason I’m supporting him.

@Apportal I still play it and am offended nobody else does. It’s a really fun game!

@BabyYoshi12 I have 3 siblings; 10, 7, 4. Do you think they’d like to play it? Do you recommend it to families? Cause since I’ve heard great things I’m kinda on the fence. Probably gonna wait for a sale however.

@Zuljaras I don’t remember saying anything about ignoring people... I’ve only done so with people who never say anything helpful. But yeah, @Anti-Matter, you should work on being able to take constructive criticism, aka advice that can sometime be brutally honest. As long as the advice is fair, which it sometimes isn’t, you should take it.

@Apportal Of all the games on Switch, it’s probably the best for families. The majority of the games don’t support more than two players though... do you have two Switches?

@BabyYoshi12 I have one OG switch, and a Switch Lite. Your positive attitude on it has me debating. I’ll see if it works out, seeing as how Nintendo doesn’t seem to be releasing anything anytime soon.

@Apportal Well then, if you get the game on both Switches, more games can be played with multiple players. All in all, it’s a great game to play with the family, I’d absolutely suggest it!!!

@Apportal I don't care that Anti-Matter has super strict restrictions on his choice of content. That's his business. But if he's going to be pushy and obnoxious about it toward other people, if he's going to loudly complain on a public forum every day about how much he dislikes entertainment aimed at adults, or imply that other people are morally inferior for enjoying such entertainment, and especially if he's going to purge friend lists and social circles of people who enjoy stuff he disapproves of, and then crow about it online... he's going to inspire anger and frustration from others. And I don't think acting like that behavior is A-OK is good for him, unless your goal is to encourage behaviors that lead to frustration and social isolation on his part.

@Apportal like @BabyYoshi12 mentioned it’s an amazing game!
Im also confused why so little amount of people are still playing it, there is so much to do and learn, it’s an awesome game to interact with your kids and have some fun with them, and learn them games from other cultures.
If anybody wants to play some of it with me sure to let me know.

About Anti I always see that people are after him and I Can’t understand why, yes he has an different view of many things but that shouldn’t be a bad thing, and I think people often forget that his English isn’t that well like he mentioned in his profile so maybe he doesn’t know how to say it otherwise?
But saying al the time to him your thick skull brain farts and stuff like that doesn’t help him and he only gets more annoyed by that.

@DenDen @BabyYoshi12 okay guys, thanks for the awesome suggestions I bought it today. Can’t wait to show to my younger siblings! Thanks yall! I’ll tell you how it goes in a couple days.

@BabyYoshi12 You were missing the point: he's not unfriending them because they're not playing anymore, he's mainly unfriending them because he doesn't like that they play violent games, so the Animal Crossing part is only a secondary issue/excuse.

Personally, I have several people from the Chit-Chat thread in my Switch friends list. And not even because they play the same games or have the same tastes, but simply because they're cool or nice people, of which I'm actually proud to have come to know them over the years. Well, at least: far as anyone can really know anyone online...

@DenDen Well, I can't speak for others, obviously, but for me it is about his, for lack of a better word, fanaticism concerning only playing kiddy or girly games, and completely ignoring any other type of game simply based upon VERY strict rules. And condemning games AND people that don't live by the same code, so it's not so much about him as a person, but about his stifling and completely restrictive beliefs concerning something that should be an entertaining hobby instead of a religion with a strict rule set.

@Zuljaras Very true, and you're right. I've said all I wanted to say about it anyway. Sad thing is, he'll never pick up on any of my valid suggestions, though. Oh, well...

@PrincessAzunyan Absolutely. I don't care who is or isn't in his friends list, or even if he has one at all. If the dude wants to go live in a cave, that's fine too. But his current behavior angers and frustrates people, and he seems to want to reach out to others at the same time. It seems counterproductive.

On a more general note, if someone chooses to share information online, others have the right to react to that. If he's going to talk about purging friend lists because he doesn't like what they're playing, then that's going to inspire a reaction from people.

I'm currently sleeping.
