    The movies really aren’t anything incredible. Luke loses practically every fight he has, the dialog and CGI in the prequels were horrendous, and the sequels… yeah. I don’t think most of them are bad movies, but for how popular it is? I believe Star Wars is held up quite a bit by how cool a large chunk of it is. Vader looks sick af, and laser swords are badass.

    But there are some really good TV shows, games, and, from what I hear, comics as well. I think the movies are probably the weakest part of the Star Wars universe.

    Just as a reminder, the only thing the original comment that I replied to said was:

    To be fair, you can’t exactly ask for a GIMP replacement on r/GIMP and not expect that reaction

    There was no context in the original image or the original comment that the OP was being an ass about it. All I was arguing is that you shouldn’t immediately expect toxicity if you’re not being toxic yourself. I do agree it’s not the proper place to ask, and that your answers aren’t going to be super helpful.

    Depends on how you ask.

    “This is a horrible program and I hate everything about it. Any of you actually using this program are masochists and need to get some help. Anyway, can you idiots recommend some alternatives?”

    vs

    “I tried out this program and didn’t really like it, it was too complicated to use (or) doesn’t have a feature I need, do you guys know of any good alternatives I can try out?”

    Apparently the OP in this image was closer to the first one, so I don’t really blame them for being toxic. But if I asked like in the second example and these are the responses I get, they’re the problem, not my question.







  • “Over here [in Heroic] it’s free-to-play friendly, by a considerable margin,” niru begins, talking over a graphic showing the player distribution between the world types, with Heroic leading in global MapleStory by some margin. “Pay-to-win is accepted here [in Interactive World], but the free-to-play experience is awful and that’s what needs to be improved right now.”

    (Edit: it’s not made clear in that quote so I’ll just mention it here, they play in an Interactive world)

    I get addiction is real and it’s not easy to quit for some people. What I don’t get is that the game apparently has a different world type that is just better and he’s actively choosing not to play it instead. That’s like picking to play P2W poker where you can buy better hands and then complaining that it’s not fun when you could just go play real poker at the next table instead. At some point I just lose a lot of my sympathy for them.
