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

      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 :)

        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.
