I don't, no. Because people in my life aren't making a stink about this sort of thing. We just talk about games that we have had fun playing. Life's too short to go on a tirade about how much we don't like a game when there are plenty more things to talk about about things that are fun and enjoyable to us.
I was taught humility at a very young age. My high school actually had great programs and classes that revolved around being men (I went to an all boys school) who would help others. In this, we learned how meaningless it was to get upset at things we didn't have control over, such as someone else's art. Why bother? So someone made something that we don't like, is that really worth it? Are we so self-centered that all art must cater to our tastes? Of course not, that'd be ridiculous.
There's a great book I've read, in part about humility, called "the courage to be disliked." In it, it talks about another aspect of humility, where people get all these sorts of insecurities thinking that everyone is so concerned with how they act, how the look, how they talk, how they dress, that they spend all their time trying to cater to the masses instead of being what they truly are, and speaking their mind.
It helped me greatly in not being so wrapped up in thinking that everyone has these high expectations of me, and embrace instead that I can live my life comfortably, embracing and understanding flaws within myself and within others. It offers a great perspective on forgiving yourself and recognizing the bigger picture of what's important.
Ok but you sometimes do come across as a Red Sox fan going into a Yankees fan group for the sole purpose of bugging Yankees fans. I do try ti make more fun nerdy posts. I get that not everything will cater to you and as I told you I’m retro so I could be happy with stuff from past decades. I did scratch my head and wonder why IPs started to attack their core audience, granted I could just ignore it and focus on what I do like. With Star Wars for instance I realized I didn’t care for their brand of Star Wars so I cancelled d plus and just consume Star Wars movies and books from before the sale. Found some EU book clubs and it’s fun. I honestly came to that conclusion with various things and decided to enjoy what I like even if that makes me more retro.
I’m not the best Christian but I try despite my stumbling. I’m well aware of the humility lessons. I’m currently reading The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry which is about slowing down and taking time to pray or meditate and not worrying about things that don’t matter.
I would say it's more a Red Sox fan going into a Yankees fan group wondering why they're talking about how much they hate the Yankees and how they wish that the team was more like the Mets.
Just...don't be a Yankees fan. Go root for the Mets. It's not that big of a deal.
When you’ve been a fan of something for years and the leadership changes and makes it into something you don’t like I can understand the frustration. I’m a Dallas Cowboys fan. Love the team. Not fond of the ownership but love the team. Same with Texas Rangers. Well I’m happy with the ownership now.
I used to subscribe to get new marvel and dc comics monthly. They became unreadable over time and cancelling my subscription for Superman and Spider-Man was tough but on the bright side there are a ton of older comics I’ve never read. It hurt to see Star Wars move in directions I didn’t care for. Still plenty of old books.
Just saying I can understand frustration with gaming industry as well as other nerd stuff. But there is plenty of older stuff out there.
Okay, be frustrated. How long does that frustration last? Do you still make threads endlessly talking about it? No, you moved on. You have maturity and sense to understand that not everything is going to cater to you.
A lot of others in this thread don't act this way. That's who I'm referring to.
