I know this is human nature and this is nothing new. It’s absolutely impossible to make something that everyone is happy with, but what’s the need to be so destructive?

I recently finished The Callisto Protocol and in my opinion it’s a great game but I remember people saying that “The game was so bad that they (Krafton) had to give it away (PS Plus) for someone to play it”.

Oddly enough I probably like to contradict most people because another game I’m interested in playing is Immortals of Aveum and when I read one or another review people say that “It’s just another generic dead game, like those generic trash Netflix series”, I mean, is it really necessary to be so destructive? And I want to clarify, I don’t give a shit what people say, if I like a game and I enjoy it I don’t mind paying full price for it, and if I don’t like it, I just don’t do destructive reviews.

What I least understand about the gaming community and what I find most toxic is when they criticize others for playing something they like, like the phenomenon of criticizing Genshin Impact players or in the past the same with Minecraft. Do I commit a sin by playing something I like?

Pro tip:

Don’t immerse yourself in any community because you love the thing.

Love the community. Love the thing. Love them separately.

I LOVE melodic death metal and progressive death metal. I don’t wanna meet other metal fans. At all. I want to meet people who like what I like but not because what we both like belongs to some more amorphous superset.

You can love Tupac and hate hip hop. You can love Opeth, and hate Opeth, and still love Mikael akerfeldt, and still kinda hate him. You can love snowboarding, and think the culture is cringe.

Don’t let the people who love the things you love make you feel differently about the things you love, unless it’s those people you love or something? Idk. Crowds of people are dumb as fuck. Ignore them.

You’re missing out big time. Metal fans form some of the greatest fun-loving and mutually protective communities there are.

Opeth were great when I saw them live for a DVD filming in London, but I don’t want to talk to you about it. Totally agree.
