Yup. I’m totally flying off the handle. 'zactly what I’m doing. Just raging out and flipping my ■■■■ while landing a rover on Minmas.
I tried explaining it to you multiple times. I know you’re smart enough to understand what I’m saying. I also know you’re smart enough to understand that simplifying all of the different aspects of EVE to ‘A. Game.’ is disingenuous and dishonest. You keep trying to tell me I have to get off my high horse and get over myself, but one of us is saying that two people can be playing very different games within the same framework, while the other insists on denigrating people who don’t play in the One True Way™ they approve of.
And you’ve done this for years. Any time anyone did something that wasn’t how you’d do it, or did something you didn’t like, they were immediately wrong, and often, got accused of being terrible people who had absolutely no redeeming qualities in life. And yes, you can play off the ‘when I do it, it’s objectively true’ as snark, but nobody who’s dealt with you beyond the forums for more than about 30 minutes believes that.
And really, I’m just tired of it. You don’t even play EVE anymore. You confidently state that losing active players (including PvPers who just got tired of seeing all of their friends leave because of the Blackout) meant losing ‘nothing of value’, and that EVE dying off would be a ‘win’, a good result.
And now all this nonsense. It’s just more dishonest, self-aggrandizing ‘everyone who doesn’t think like I do can screw right off’ claptrap. And I’m done with it.
