i gave cyberpunk2077 another shot after hating it at launch because multiple people pestered me about it for two years. i was repeatedly told of my lengthy list of criticisms, “they fixed all that, it’s like a totally different game now”.
10 hours later it’s clear that they’re either:
a) delusional b) liars c) literally cannot hear criticism of the game being spoken aloud
because that shit was 99% identical to at launch, bugs included. the difference between the game that people keep describing to me and the game in front of me is so stark that i’m fucking baffled. it’s like it’s a cult or something.
See over on my instance we have a rule / practice where one person just says “Disengage” and then after that, is expected that those two people will not communicate with each other for the next 12 to 24 hrs.
Why do we do this?
Because sometimes people get really heated, or feel very attacked, and thats basically a safety valve for that, where both can do a sort of gentleman’s truce, realizing that they are succumbing to their emotions and should probably both cool off a bit, so as to not be foolish or cruel.
… But you just keep arguing with everyone in this thread!
The… the things you wrote are still there, we can still read them!
I highly doubt that any actual specific person who convinced to replay this game you don’t like… are any of the people in this thread.
What is to be gained from making a fool of yourself amongst strangers?
Why do you insist on trying to “win” this?
Because you… you have “a person”, sitting next to you with a Steam Deck, egging you on to keep embarassing yourself?
This person is not your friend.
You are now just throwing out, wildly incorrectly, all the bad psychology vocab words you “learned” from TikTok.
You may also note that I never called you ‘stupid’ or ‘a liar’.
You invented that in your head.
Go read what I wrote again.
Actually read it.
What I said was that you are being emotional and irrational.
Those are not the same thing as ‘stupid’ or ‘a liar’.
Everyone gets emotional and irrational sometimes, thats just part of being human, smart people, stupid people, liars and those honest to a fault, they all can become irrational and overly emotional in certain circumstances.
You are conflating things, concepts, you are conflating individual people in this thread into one gigantic enemy collective hivemind, you are panicking.
This is what a highly emotional person does when they feel they are under attack.
Please, disengage, there is no good that can come from your continued stubbornness.
