    Oh shit! That’s what we were missing all along! That’s what has, all this time, been keeping adoption down and preventing the year of the linux desktop! A condescending prick talking down to people! We should have figured this out a long time ago! Thanks OP for setting us straight! Now our numbers are sure to skyrocket!


  • ALL OF THEM

    This is the right answer. Because the truth is, you can’t have a fandom without passion. And people that are passionate enough to consider themselves part of a fandom community (regardless of it’s source) are passionate enough to be vocal and opinionated about it. And there will ALWAYS be some who crank the whine up to 11 and annoy everyone else.

    It’s not an issue with any one particular fan community, it’s a feature of all of them.

    It’s not a stereotype if it’s true, though! /s

    On a more serious note, coming from an immigrant family, you can see it very clearly in a lot of those old Eurpoean cultures (Portugal, spain, etc…) The men work, the women (seem) subservient, but honestly, without them, their husbands are absolutely useless at bills, banking, groceries, literally anything that isn’t getting up and going to work to make money.

    Most men would absolutely fall apart without their wives because while they can dress for themselves, they sure as hell can’t shop for themselves, etc…

    I’m not saying that that’st he modern convention. It isn’t at all. It’s changing. But there’s still a tonne of older women who come in and (half-jokingly) have to buy a bunch of premade meals for their husband because she has to go on the road for a few days and he is useless for that sort of stuff on his own.






  • Technically, PS2 was better. But PS2 was also the beginning of the end for proper single player narrative games like the Final Fantasy Series, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Colony Wars, Wing Commander, etc…

    The PS2 kept those going early on, but I feel like later into it’s life cycle it started to move down the “everything has to be multiplayer now” route.

    Which is why, for me, my list of emulated games skews FAR heavier to old PS1 classics.

    Just my opinion though. Don’t shoot me, please.
