annoying people

I play a lot of games.

However, something I have noticed a lot about games... is how dumb people are about them.

There are playerbases that are so allergic to improvements that they actively make the game worse.

And there are going to be people who go, "don't interact with them"

I like to yap.

Reddit doesn't let me yap like this, so I post it here for all of you to pretend to read before telling me to shut up. I don't care, I need to release my creative spirit.

Genshin and HSR.

The problem is story skippers.

Basically, in Genshin and until recently in HSR, you couldn't skip the story in it. And you might think, so what? Well, HSR's recent patches have each been 7 hours long stories and Genshin isn't much better. And the issue with HSR and Genshin is that their story... honestly is kind of shit. I think they're getting slightly better recently, but like up until now, it's been shit. Don't listen to the people going "Sumeru was PEAK", yeah it was peak... FOR GENSHIN.

So a lot of people just want to skip the story with a skip button.

However, there is this tiny minority of people who are like, "No!!! If you do, there are going to be people who spread misinformation!"

I only need one sentence to explain why they are wrong: People who skip the story... are not going to talk about the story because they don't like the story.

That is it.

The people who spread misinformation are probably people who have read the story, misinterpreted, or misunderstood stuff. They are part of the "I read the story" community.

That is why it is dumb. And when you point this out, oh my god, suddenly they all shut up! Or their brain malfunctions (which I think is impressive because I didn't know they had a brain) and repeat everything they said... without addressing anything you said.

Also, can we just like, stop for a moment and truly appreciate these people for being worried about misinformation on a fictional world. How braindead and jobless do you have to be that you are THIS angry at "misinformation" to the point you are willing to hinder QoL improvements because you're so selfish you can't get your head out your ass?

And, ik I'm ranting, so it's lowkey hypocritical, but I never said I wasn't stupid as well.

Anyway, I never once thought a community would actively try to fuck themselves up, but people always surprise me.

And no, I don't think we need to be "understanding" of these people because they are coming from a standpoint of selfishness and self-centered pride in the fact that their life revolves around a dreamworld. It's also funny because these are the same people who love theory crafting aka making random shit up and will diss on people whose theories they believe to be... more wrong than their own.

They are also the same people who actively try to police the fandom... in a world where Ao3 exists and the entire.. subgenre of alternate universe is a thing. I know they say, "oh they are pushing it as the real narrative" but at the same time, so what? Most of the fandom is comprised of four year olds with 0 reading capabilities. It's normal. People misread, they headcanon, they do dumb shit, it's not that big of a deal.

And here is the second thing... When I see people like this... I enjoy checking their bio because I really want to know what kind of lowborn I am speaking to. It's... usually an adult. Which I find hilarious because you have this grown ass 20 year old, whining about misinformation spread by a 12 year old TikTok. Tell me you are single without telling me you are single. No, even better, tell me your parents disowned you without telling me your parents disowned you because I sure as hell would (I wouldn't-).

Anyway, I just hate this problem people have with QoL updates because I know for a fact I don't want to read world quests for the 200th hour because I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT SOMEONE'S DEAD GRANDMA AGAIN.
