Trolls who still use the tired trope of "you are bad for liking <popular thing>".

Generally people who can't just enjoy something without adding ironic caveats. I enjoy some bad games, but what I enjoy about them is the good aspects that sometimes come up. I don't play it to laugh at the poor controls or complain about the muddy graphics, I often play for interesting world building or advancement systems. Just let yourself enjoy what you enjoy without having to prove something to your peers, even if it's generically written. I enjoy a few sitcoms, I know they aren't very good but some characters still get a laugh so fine. Hell, I know Repo: The Genetic Opera is terrible as a movie but I like a few of the songs and Anthony Stewart Head's performance.

I've been playing System Shock recently and if I talked about it to someone without mentioning that the controls are just plain wrong, someone who hasn't tried it might think it's a fun game for anyone to play based on all the good things it has (personally I can make do because I've lived most of my life before playability was invented anyway)

Master Twig posted:In regards to Game of Thrones: It's not even that these shows or films are bad, it's just that people will not shut the gently caress up about them. I've heard of Game of Thrones. It's probably the biggest nerd thing on televsion. I'm just. Not. INTERESTED. Constantly telling me about it is not changing my mind on that. I don't keep banging on to people about how great really popular things I like are, I'd appreciate the same courtesy in return.

The coolest thing about Game of Thrones is just the vast size of the production. Just the logistics of filming simultaneously in like 5 different countries at a time. You get a good sense of it when the main cast members are doing interviews and you find out a lot of them have never even met each other because the characters they play haven't met each other either. Besides that, I don't think the show is that great. Tons of filler. You only need to watch the first couple and last couple episodes of each season and the rest is forgettable.

Sunswipe posted:Mate at college kept insisting I needed to watch Fight Club, eventually bringing a copy in with him and handing it to me. It sat in the bottom of my bag for about two months, with him asking every few days "Have you watched it yet?" Nope. Not interested. Watched Commando again last night. I loving love Game of Thrones but holy poo poo don't I ever know what you mean here. The more somebody insists that I need to see something, the more put off I am. Even if it's something I'm likely to enjoy. Suggest it once and maybe I'll get around to it. Hounding me constantly is the best way to be sure I'll never watch it. I'm not going to be harassed into watching a TV show.

I really hate people who jump all over the show when you're trying to explain something to them sensibly. It comes up a lot when trying to explain board games: "Now, these are buildings, you put them on the table in front of you and pay the cost in the top corner of the..." "What do these numbers on the bottom of the cards mean?" gently caress off, I'm getting to that bit. It is literally the next sentence I am going to say, and you asking the question has just delayed you finding out the answer because now I have to explain how to play the cards again because you loving interrupted me mid-sentence. I also play games with a couple of guys who, two or three turns into a game they have just learned, will start trying to explain the rules to other players. Which I wouldn't mind so much if they ever actually got the rules right. Which they don't, because they were jumping around all over the place/playing with their phones when I explained it the first time.

People who explain rules to things at a snail's pace and then get upset when I try to prod them along because yes I already understand the difficult concept of HP

White men. Other thing: people who can't take a loving hint that you're not interested in what they're talking about. Went with my boyfriend to a silly card game thing at the local gaming shop, but the people we ended up playing against would not stop loving talking about the really dull nuances of magic the gathering. Bruh, I am here to play this stupid gnome game. I don't wanna hear about card triggers or whatever. And no amount of changing the subject would deter them. Awful.

Naw, it was a dumb game called "gnome's on you!" that wasn't super good but was fun enough. It was casual night but there were kids so Cards Against Humanity was out.

People having their kids watch TV on phones/tablets in nice restaurants without using headphones. I understand your child has problems sitting still. I understand you don't get to go out as much as you used to. Please understand that Paw Patrol whining in the background is loving up the ambience of this restaurant with real wood tables, glass glasses, and no TVs on the wall. People who play loud music/YouTube on public transit/airplanes without headphones. Especially airplanes because we're all stuck for at least 3 hours. I think half of these are inconsiderate people and half are doing some kind of hosed up dominance move to compensate for their lovely life. I would prefer airline seats not recline at all, but since they do, I just hate people that go all the way back soon as possible after takeoff and leave it there until landing. I think it's inconsiderate, and I used to try to not recline even when people in front of me did, but I had to give that up for my own sanity. It bothers me that once one person reclines it causes a chain reaction and everyone behind them has to recline or suffer. The very idea that someone enjoys "rolling coal" specifically to gently caress up other peoples breathing. I think such people are so irredeemably broken that the best thing we as a society can do is execute them. With smoke.

I live in a banker city in the south that has a lot of generational wealth, and while walking to a nearby grocery store for beer at 10pm, a huge bro truck revved insanely loud as it passed me on the sidewalk. Without thinking I raised my middle finger and kept walking to the store. Whatever, gently caress this prick, he's trying to scare people on purpose. He ended up hopping a divider to pull a u-turn so he could follow me through the parking lot. I guess my peeve is rich assholes that go out of their way to try and start poo poo because they can.

I don't know relatable this is. I've run a lot of RPGs in my day with loads of different people. There is always one person in the group who MUST inject themselves into every scene. Sometimes they are just excited and can't contain it or they are an rear end in a top hat that must be heard. If I'm setting the scene or giving some dramatic exposition, don't chime in with your moronic quips. Don't yell over the table and undercut someone. gently caress you.

Dude the airplane with all the seats reclined doesn't have any less space with all the seats not reclined. You aren't using the foot of air in front of your head, but the guy in front of you could. Your solution just leaves everyone less comfortable. I wish they didn't recline at all because they started all the way reclined. Just seems like a way to start fights over nothing, what good does having the choice do?

People always say this, but I use that space to read books in. Also, I don't find all-the-way reclining to be particularly comfortable and the seat in front of me hovering over my lap makes me feel trapped and anxious.

And what the gently caress does it matter if my seat is 2 more inches forward during takeoff/landing? basically what I'm saying is what's the deal with airline seats?

Shot in the dark but I'm guessing your anxiety would be somewhat lessened if the seat started that way and you didn't have to think about the fact that SOMEBODY chose to put it there.

Haha, I've got a guy like that in my group, only he's extra incompetent. Last campaign, he had to be a special snowflake non-evil drow, so the dm made him spend his perk item on a Hat of Disguise (house rule of one low-level magic item or +1 weapon at character creation, in addition to the base starting gold) so that society wouldn't just kill him outright for being a drow above ground. By the end of the campaign, he'd multiclassed into like 4 classes and was, predictably, poo poo at all of them. The only reason we kept raising his dumb rear end when he got himself killed yet again doing something dumb was because he had the only available place among the group to play. If I hadn't decided to play a Paladin that campaign, I'd have let the other characters sell him into slavery.

The place is next to a laundromat, and that half of the parking lot is just coated with old cig butts because apparently people load up their laundry and just sit in their car chain smoking and tossing 'em out the window. Just loving disgusting.
