I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.
I live in canada and a 2 hour drive home from college is the norm lol. But yeah i get you thats frustrating, its like some people are just looking for a fight.
I once commented in a thread about RPGs and how i was excited for Baldurs Gate 3, and these two guys jumped on me saying how it was sad i was excited for a turnbased RPG when turnbased RPGs were a dead genre.
I pointed out pokemon is turnbased and sells gangbusters and dragon quest 11 sold 10m but I was wasting my time because they both just continued with childish insults
Some people - many people in larger cities - literally to that far to/from work on a daily basis (which IMO is kinda crazy and I’m glad the push for WFH is helping change that)
Those types of gatekeepers are the worst. Turn based RPGs are great games and having more should never be an issue lol.
No use in arguing with people who want to yuck your yum.
Baldurs Gate 3 looks fantastic and I’m looking forward to giving it a go at full release :)
Bro you have to try fire emblem and onimusha tactics
I wish I could be hyped over BG3, or anything in the CRPG fantasy genre; but everyone’s got the same basic, boring ‘core four’ races, the same core rulebook classes, and I’m the kind of tabletopper who was always ass-deep in the splatbooks looking for the more interesting, not-dime-a-dozen races and classes. Like, where’s BG3’s elemental planetouched? Where’s the beastfolk? Why are there eleven varieties of elf here?
Idk, shit just depresses me because there’s not a fantasy setting for me to really immerse in to get away from all my friend groups chattering positively about FFXVI.
Turn-based combat rocks though! It feels more strategic and tactical.
I just started baldurs hate 3 this weekend!
It feels like an actual real rpg. Which is missing from the genre these days
Love it
