Actually no. And I don't care who he is. My answer is based on his statements. It doesn't matter to me if he's some user with a two post account or an administrator or the best programmer in the world. This doesn't automatically mean that he has specific competence in any other topic.Espozo wrote:You know who you're talking to, right?DRW wrote:Calm down, you drama queen.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that any topic on this ancient forum of wisdom needs to be a philosophical dispute.Espozo wrote:A word of advice: no one here cares about light conversation.
I didn't insult him for not fully understanding me. The only insult was "drama queen" and it was more than justified after his childish "The window of opportunities offered are now closed" nonsense. Yeah, now he totally got me: Denying me something that I didn't want in the first place.Espozo wrote:By how you keep insulting people for not fully understanding you
Why are you always so thin-skinned? Valid criticism is all rudeness and insults to you.
Because of that, I already made the decision that I will never ever give any suggestions anymore if somebody presents his homebrew game and asks for opinions. Because if my feedback isn't 100 % positive or if my feedback is a bit negative and someone argues against my negative feedback and I (Shock!) dare to answer the objections, then I'm automatically the rude, insulting asshole.
Sorry, if that offends you, but I'm not some person who would praise a fucking "Minesweeper" port for the NES as if it was the next "A Link to the Past".
And if someone keeps misunderstanding me despite me giving explicit explanations (If I say "Tennis" and "Kung Fu" share a style that "Gyromite" and "Urban Champion" don't share then I'm obviously not talking about the fucking box artwork since "Gyromite" and "Urban Champion" do share the same box style) and he even arrogantly suggests things like "I think you should try playing the games I listed", as if I have never heard of the first NES games ever and if he keeps suggesting childish stuff like "Why don't you ask Nintendo?", then I don't go easy on him.
The fact that he might be something special even works against him in this case. Because the amateur can get away with these kinds of mistakes. The pro cannot.
If a three year old boy tells me: "Why don't you ask Nintendo about this? I'm sure Mr. Mario will help you", then I pad his head and smile and say "O.k." But if an adult person suggests me to bother the biggest video game developer in the world with such trivial, obscure questions and seriously expect a meaningful answer from them, that's just ridiculous.
I'm sure any of you will close this thread now, right?
