If someone on a messageboard posts that a thing I think is good is actually bad, I don't question my taste at all, I just assume the other person is normal.

i have been playing loads of roleplaying games over the last decade-ish trying to recapture the way i felt when i was 12 and despite lots of cool stuff being out there i am happy to report that feeling is ephemeral and tied directly to the powerlessness, imagination, time, and friendship that was only available at 12yo, it can never be recaptured alas.― Mordy, Friday, January 31, 2020 6:05 PM

Is this about ILX's halcyon days again?
Snark aside, that is incontrovertibly true, although in the process of chasing nostalgia in recent years I did end up discovering a few CRPGs (some old, others new) that fleetingly recaptured my teenage fascination with the Infinity Engine games. My natural inclination towards single-player CRPGs and continued willingness to suspend disbelief as a deliberate corrective to the killjoy that is academia no doubt helped lower the bar (I got my multi-player kicks from RTS's back in the day), as I've never experimented with tabletop campaigns (too demanding and too gregarious, not to mention my group of friends at the time wasn't interested anyway).

i would fucking shit my pants if any of the people i was yelling at today would, just for once, admit they were wrong on anything at all, rather than dodging everything by asking questions that don't have answers. and i will note that this kind of behavior is very common among people with rightwing brainworms. the first step toward brainworms is not being able to tell yourself that you're wrong. the second step is to find someone else who is the same way, and to make a pact to never be wrong, together. so perhaps it's not that strange that conflate the two - i am absolutely exhausted with "debating" with people who will never, ever, ever EVER admit they're wrong about anything, and will bend time and space itself in order to avoid doing so. it's one of the the things that makes me really mad these days.
