I’ve noticed something of late, looking at all of the games that we’ve had for all of the consoles that we’ve had. Every generation of console, we get fewer and fewer games. So are the games not as good? Or perhaps, more accurately, are there fewer games with each generation that are good?
I don’t know.
I just ran into this, so let me know what you think. Someone just got on a Facebook group, specifically for publishing, and got pissed off because someone else dared to suggest that people who can’t write a coherent book, they need help in the form of an editor.
And this crazy person started yelling that it was somehow an attack on the disabled. The amount of stupidity in this is just ridiculous, but what else is new?
I haven’t read or collected comic books seriously for decades, I walked away from it for the last time, I think around 2013, when they stopped being fun and that predated the modern woke mess that we’re facing. However, I occasionally do watch a video or two on YouTube, I think because I was interested in seeing just how terrible the whole thing is.
Recently, it’s started to be suggested that Warner-Discovery CEO David Zaslav might just shut down DC Comics entirely and honestly, I think that might be a good idea, at least for a while. So let’s talk about it.
This is going to be a quick one, I’m dealing with a lot of real-life problems at the moment and have very little time for blogging, but here we go anyhow because this comes up a lot. I’m talking about it in reference to writing, but it comes up in other things as well. Apply what I say as you will.
Love Alan Turing but the coin is a complete waste of time.
It doesn’t really matter, but I had a discussion recently with a friend who does YouTube videos. He collects coins primarily, although he also collects some stamps and we were talking about our individual interests. I knew it would cause consternation, but I said it anyhow.
I’m really not impressed with the way a lot of people collect coins.
One person doing that in the stamp world is The Digital Philatelist. So let’s see where he keeps making such a fool of himself.
This comes up a lot, unfortunately, people online whining and complaining that a game isn’t what they wanted, therefore they demand that the producers recreate the game in their personal image, otherwise it’s a horrible game! Or, they insist that modders make the game something new, for free, of course, because they really, really wanted something different.
Stop being an idiot! If it’s not the game that you want to play, go play something else!
I’m really upset right now, not at anyone else but at myself. I screwed up. Now I have to try to fix it. It happens to the best of us but this is the first time that I remember doing it this badly when I should have known better, at least not in a very long time.
It’s all my fault. I just want to vent.
I’m really starting to ask that question a lot lately. This isn’t just a matter of writing forums but a lot of things. We will focus on writing forums this time out and I could venture into other things later though. So what is the point of having any of these forums at all?
I don’t know, you tell me!
It’s really no wonder that I dislike being around most people under the age of 40 these days. Over on the RPG subreddit, someone asked if you should have an open door policy, anyone can come and go in your game whenever they want with no explanation.
I said no and someone popped on and got mad at me. These people are real idiots. I’d never play with anyone like them.
