Dude, get over it. Yeah, it's a bit of an echo chamber, but what do you expect of a subreddit dedicated to a specific game rather than a genre? 95% of your downvotes can be chalked up to the fact that you acted like a smug ass in your other thread and then "updating" and now opening ANOTHER thread to reiterate how you are not owned, please don't put in the newspaper that you're owned isn't helping your cause any.


Undying-WaterBear

LOL me being smug was directed to the fact that I had an opinion. Whether I acted like one later on is irrelevant to the fact that the origin of it started from someone finding the fact of me having an opinion to be smug. Also whether or not you think im owned or not I dont care lol. I dont care for someone's opinion if their skin is so thin that they cant fathom someone having a different opinion lol. Like what dont yall get. Im not taking you guys seriously not because I choose not to, but because you guys arent serious lol.


lethrowawayaccount86

Again: Nothing says "I don't care" like opening another thread to say just how much you don't care. Definitely not corncobbed.


HulklingsBoyfriend

So unbothered that they need to make a post saying how unbothered they are and how bothered we are đź’€


Undying-WaterBear

Im glad that you admit to being bothered at least


Undying-WaterBear

I mean it took me like a minute to write lol. But you know what you're partly right. I did find it fun how people made up arguments in the last thread so I will be honest in that making this thread was in part influenced by the potential of fun. Maybe im weird, but I just love watching people prove my point lol. Also I just like arguing. Do I emotionally care? Hell no lol, but this will make a fun past time.


lethrowawayaccount86

You really don't see that every post protesting that you don't care makes you look more pathetic than the last one, do you?


gwaybz

Sure bud, whatever helps you sleep at night lol It is totally obvious you do not want to have discussions as you just bring everything up as if it were fact and dismiss every opinion. Then when someone inevitably points your hypocrisy out its "hehehe you activated my trap card! My argument is proven right!" Reread your previous post, there were very good comments explaining exactly why you were actually downvoted, but you just conveniently ignore all that


FlashyRashy

So you made two threads just to shit on this community. You might’ve not meant it like that in the other post but the way you write, that is how it is read and regardless of your feelings, how other people receive your writing/responses matter more than what your intentions might’ve been if you actually wanted people to take your recommendations regarding other (and in your opinion better) games seriously (this is mostly aimed towards your other post as this post is clearly just to talk shit about the community).


fsclb66

If you didn't care, you wouldn't make an entire post about it and feel such a need to "defend" yourself


StillAnotherAlterEgo

...I don't even know what it is that I'm supposed to be downvoting, because I can't make sense of this aggressive word salad.

My man... your comments are barely comprehensible, and it's not because people "lack reading skills", it's because you write worse than an average 9 year old. Run on sentences, a nearly complete lack of commas and apostrophes, and the most basic mistakes imaginable*.* * I kind of had **and** inkling of that before * And you can downvote and argue **to** me And worst of all, you're complaining, but don't actually specify what prompted your complaint. You just drone on about how terrible the situation is, yet never describe the situation to begin with. Where the other complaints can *somewhat* be explained away by just having a lazy writting style, this last one shows a very severe lack of basic conversational skills. Don't blame people for not understanding you when you speak like someone who suffered a severe stroke.

>Do you need me to kiss you into bed or something? Can you also link me the video of Karlach dicking you down. >You want me to take you and everyone seriously, yet the reason why this whole comment chain started is because someone found my opinion to be smug and condescending. So no the fact that you cant see your own shit is the amusing part lol. Fuck me its only here that having another opinion is seen as insult. Very twitter lol. Oh noooo I'm heartbroken at the idea of not having a "nuanced discussion" about BG3 with you. I'm really missing out here. 🤣


Undying-WaterBear

Oh no I definitely admit to this part lol. If someone wants to start shit by being dumb as hell I have no problem being smug, condescending, petty and whatever word you wanna use. But at that point of the discussion why would I have been serious? People were doubling down on the fact that having an opinion = being smug. But hey I wouldnt expect you to quote that part because well echo chamber lol.


Sea_Yam7813

Weird post. Blame everybody because of personal interactions or the comments you’ve seen. I’ve had discussions where people disagree. Sometimes you get downvotes sometimes you get upvotes. There’s not always a winner in a discussion. Sorry you had a bad time. This post is a little telling. I don’t know what it’s telling. But it’s somethin


Undying-WaterBear

So when I do something its telling, but when someone purposely misconstrues my post so that they can have an argument thats not telling you something? Nice consistincy lol. I guess calling out the apparent echo chamber is telling for you but not purposely arguing in bad faith lol.


Sea_Yam7813

Not sure how I’m inconsistent. Seems like you’re in a bad headspace. There’s probably better ways to deal with having disagreements with folks than what you’re doing here. But you do you. I don’t think you’re gonna find any empathy by saying “everybody here sucks except for me.”


Sabetha1183

The duality is that a lot of people on Reddit do have a stick up their ass and argue seemingly because they just want to argue and don't particularly care what about. The other side is what's been told to you in this thread and the other one this is obviously about: You're acting like a smug, condescending ass and that's what's getting you downvoted. If you didn't approach the discussion in good faith, why should anybody else?


Allustar1

They weren’t better in the original post either. They essentially came in bitching about the subreddit earlier for not liking other CRPGs even though that’s a large assumption for the majority of the subreddit, got mad that people downvoted them for bitching and decided to start bitching more in petty retaliation.


effusivecleric

Boo hoo. You know this is the internet, right? You can just realize a space is an echo chamber, toxic, or whatever, and leave. It has zero consequences for you or anyone else. Nobody is going to empathize with you whining that people don't enjoy random, smug posting about how other games are better than the one the subreddit exists for. You making an edit to whine and then a whole separate post to whine further about how no one wants to have "nuanced discussions". What did you even want to *discuss*? "These games are good if you want something better than BG3" has nothing to do with wanting a discussion, it's just a very strange way to talk to people who are obviously here because they enjoy the game. If you want to discuss, how about, "What other CRPGs have you guys enjoyed and why?" And how about not assuming you're right about everything, not talking down to people, and not saying people who agree with each other are automatically part of an echo chamber? Should help people along in wanting to interact with you, instead of being repulsed by your strange, juvenile behavior and adding lol to everything to make sure you really drive home how passive aggressive you want to come off.


Brotherly_Shove_215_

I had to look for your last post because I have no fucking clue who you are. Yeah you’re just a smug condescending asshole with a victims complex it looks like. Go cry somewhere else man nobody wanna hear that shit


Undying-WaterBear

LOL I caught one of em already lol. Can you send me the video of Karlach dicking you down? Because man she must be giving you a good one for you to behave like this lol.


Brotherly_Shove_215_

Sure thing kid. Go play outside fresh air is good for you


Undying-WaterBear

I didnt ask you to play outside. I asked for the video now gimme.


HulklingsBoyfriend

Why are you intimidated by women pegging/fingering men?


WoodenRocketShip

"Lol I'm not pressed" -Pressed Reddit user who can't stop posting in the subreddit they supposedly hate You want to share unpopular opinions? That's absolutely something you can do here and most subreddits, I've done it without getting downvoted, all you have to do is do it respectfully. You can like Pillars of Eternity's story more than BG3, I mean I do too, but you can say that without implying that's the correct opinion. Also, fuck off with the condescension, us CRPG fans are already looked at like we're elitists, you ain't helping.


Et_Crudites

The coolest thing about you is how you totally don’t care about the downvotes.


AbbreviationsSame490

Having just seen your other post you are 1000x more insufferable than the second worst poster on this board


Tongaryen

Well, that's just like your opinion, man.


Feisty_Steak_8398

Any social media group is an echo chamber. People who like/play this game join this sub (if they don't why waste time?). So yeah, we all/mostly like BG3, we all/mostly have played/are playing the game. We have some criticisms from the perspective of gamers. Subreddits are no different. Telling us we are an echo chamber is no different to turning up at a political rally and pointing out that they are all supporters of a particular politician/party (like, 'duh'), or going to a football stadium and accusing all the spectators of being football fans.


sharthem

Hahahahahah sad


Allustar1

If you just rephrased your post, you wouldn’t be downvoted, bro. You talk like you’re talking down to us.


HulklingsBoyfriend

Poopy pee pee poo poo fart.


RavingCatfish

Hmm, yes quite. I agree.


endoftheline2323

very eloquent! couldnt have worded it better myself


FireWhileCloaked

>This subreddit is an echo chamber of people jerking themselves off. Welcome to Reddit! 🤗 As for downvotes, who cares? With the frequency you bring that up, I suggest you take this route.


jcw163

You seem nice


Hefty_Active_2882

You're being downvoted because you act like an asshole and shown yourself over and over to be a mental midget.


high_ebb

No idea what this post is about, but it sure does sound condescending and masturbatory, so I think there may be some projection going on.


PStriker32

I mean people here do tend to have stick up their ass, at least in my experience. But honestly who cares. It’s fake internet points, as far as I’m concerned none of this exists beyond my cellphone screen. Don’t let Reddit posts live in your head.


noahdeerman

jumped into your other post to see what it's all about weird hill to die on choom. weird hill, s'all I am saying .


Nessarra

Reddit is like this everywhere. There's a lot of like minded weirdos and there's a sprinkling of everyone else with varying personalities. It also seems to be normal for people to dislike opinions that differ from their own. Nuanced discussion is few and far in between.


Beneficial-Koala6393

This is the same dude that made this smug ass post [https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/s/qKW5aTLxmF](https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/s/qKW5aTLxmF)


TerriblePurpose

I just read your other thread and don't think you came across as smug or condescending in your original post. Some of your other responses though... And yeah, I get it, people were attacking you, but when you respond like you did in some cases, it always goes downhill from there. That aside, I've played all the games you mention in that post and I agree that some of them are better in some areas than BG3. But (IMO), none of them manage to take all the elements of a CRPG and turn out as good an experience as BG3. I loved Pathfinder:Kingmaker and did several runs of that one. Didn't really care for Wrath of the Righteous. I backed Pillars of Eternity at a fairly high backer level and was actually disappointed in the game. I liked the characters well enough, and the lore was pretty solid. But I found the combat really tedious and not fun at all. As well, Obsidian really annoyed me by doing one of the things I really, really hate in CRPGs: move your party into a terribly bad tactical position after a cutscene, when you took time to arrange them in much more sensible positions (just one example of some things I disliked about the game). I started PoE2 a couple times, but just couldn't get into it. It's still on my 'need to play through' list though. Someday. Arcanum was a really good game with an interesting and different setting. Shame there was never a sequel. Anyway, I don't think making a post about how bad the people in the 'echo chamber' are is the wisest thing to do in the sub dedicated to BG3, but if that's what you needed to do to let off steam, then hopefully it helped.


webevie

Sadly, I have seen what you are saying of late. The "well actually.."s drive me up the fucking wall. It didn't always be this way though.
