  If you need to finance a pizza over 6 weeks, you were never going to do the other two things either.

  Right, because the people who are paid to review the full game over hundreds of hours and have spent, in many cases, years, analyzing their biases and determining the right way to construct objective criticsm and have peer review editors to check their work…

  Nah. Randos on the internet who have tendancy to form circlejerks for fake internet points and for minor doses of dopamine and who may or may not have even completed even a tiny portion of the game - that’s what I need to make an informed decision.

  I don’t think anybody is shitting on anyone It’s a public forum and we’re all allowed to say what we think How shallow would the discourse be if we were limited to only talking about things positively?

  It doesn’t matter what you think. Try posting something positive about starfield - even in the Starfield community. You will get shat on. A lot.

  The problem isn’t that negativity doesn’t have a space, its that positivity doesn’t have a space. If someone posts something positive and gets shit on, they’re going to be less likely to post positive things in the future. Or react to negativity with their own positivity. That’s how psychology works. We do a thing and get a shock, we’ll be less likely to do it again.

  But more importantly, a lot of negative nancies on the internet love to defend yukking on other’s yums with lofty goals around “discourse” and “free speech”. But they seem to forget that’s not how the real world or human psychology works. This post isn’t looking for “discourse”. OP is just saying " wow this game has cool vistas" maybe hoping for some stories or reinforcement or fun conversations with other fans and you all are responding with “game sucks”. What is this “discourse” supposed to accomplish other than, at best piss off OP, and at worst tear down his enjoyment of the game.

  I mean think about it. What if someone were showing off a coat they brought and like with some randos, and you waltz in and are like “that coat’s fucking ugly and you should feel bad about buying it.” What kind of discourse would you expect other than “the hell? Who asked you? Fuck off”.

  Sure, we’re all entitled to post and reply what we want, but it won’t stop us from calling you an asshole. You want to shit on a game? Go for it, there’s plenty of hate circlejerks you can join in on.

  Overblown and knee jerk.

  I’m enjoying the absolute fuck out of this game - hundreds of hours already and no regrets. This game is a lot deeper than anyone gives it credit for, it’s fantastic, and I’m looking forward to more of it.

  No Man’s Sky bores the hell out of me and yet I’m having so much fun exploring planets and raiding pirate bases and being surprised by handbuilt content in what I thought would be a procedurally generated dungeon. Not to mention the surprisingly deep side and faction quests. Oh and so many hours playing with the shipbuilder.

  I’m sorry you’re not having fun guys. But maybe you should focus on things that are fun for you?

  Don’t forget the hundreds or thousands of dollars it’ll take to wire up your whole house with Ethernet.

  Lol first honest answer of the bunch.

  I have a bidet. But I also know the shit it cleans off and how disgusting my toilet is after even a few days of shit going through it and being wahsed away with water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not gatekeeping. You want to eat ass and your partner is okay with it and doing the prep to make it safe? Go for it.

  But I guarantee you that most of the people on the internet claiming to want to eat ass have ever or will ever place their tongue on an asshole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to try better pussy.

  I mean, shit is shit, man. I don’t get the appeal when something way better is just down the road.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is it that so much of the internet wants to stick a tongue in an asshole? You realize that only porn stars do anything more than wipe and shower. You’re literally eating shit. Which is a great way to get wierd diseases or start involuntary vomit attacks in a supposedly sexy moment.

  You know what’s better than ass? You know what tastes better and is self cleaning and an actual pleasure center? Pussy.

  You deserve a finer dining experience. Eat pussy instead.

  The only validation you should expect and need is self-validation.

  Your work is absolutely valid and important. Your efforts are absolutely appreciated and worthwhile. But people are stuck in their own heads and work and stress and concerns and desires and validation loops and it takes actual work to break out of that to not only offer appreciation but to even realize that they need to offer it.

  And for that reason, you should also really appreciate anyone that validates you.
