I really don’t see how this happened, I literally tried to help out lol I even brought some actual quality reading material to help out which is like rare on the internet

 

But the viewpoint on that language is still subjective because to some people it actually IS still a spoiler and to others it isn't. So instead of getting rid of the term or changing the term spoil/spoiler, a new word should be added to imply the other effect being had on people who didn't view the spoilers as spoilers.

If you get what I mean...sorry it's late and that sentence was a horrible mess.

 

I mentioned the TLOU2 trailer announcement

 

It legit just happened cos you were snarky. Sorry to get argumentative but that’s genuinely why I got defensive over my opinion.

 

I do. The thing is, some (SOME) people might believe that spoilers have negative effects on their enjoyment of a story (because that is the prevailing narrative after all), even though that doesn’t have to be the case. That is literally one of the things the study looked at. Very simply put: if you get spoiled, you might be just fine (or even better), even if you think you won’t be or weren’t in other cases. That’s it.

 

As a writer who went to college for screenwriting. That whole article is kind of whack. Not the studies themselves, the writer just seems kind of like a dick. Especially with the annoying Keyser Soze thing being repeated over and over which yes, did spoil the movie and now I probably won't watch it.

The other thing is that none of the studies said anything about works that a person was highly anticipating/looking forward to. It was based on preselected works from the ones running the study.

It's definitely an interesting study, but it's also a simplistic study that would need much more testing in order to get more fine-tuned results.

 

the only game that matters is the next tony hawk game

also I’m eh on spoilers but also I’m somehow decent at avoiding spoilers without trying

 

@RyanRyan @The Lucky Moose just touch tips and make up, Jesus Christ.

 

Did I catch you during prayer?

 

True. I’m not saying it’s well written, I’m saying the “message” isn’t based on some pundits opinion but on research.

Also, yes, more research would be better. Which is why I said that their findings aren’t “rules”, but something to keep in mind and certainly not nonsense.

 

Why is Vase so reasonable, I’m scared

 

I'll post P5R spoilers if you don't hurry up and play it

 

There's also the whole thing about "not paying enough attention to all the other details" and such. Which is why a lot of people re-read or re-watch things. I get a lot of enjoyment out of being like "oh wow, I never noticed that the first time around."

There's also the implication that stories just shouldn't be written with twists or suspense in mind, because if people are going to enjoy the works more if it's spoiled every book and movie should have the title on the front and a line below it that says "P.S. The main character gets eaten by a giant lobster-walrus hybrid. Enjoy!"

 

Also I know I’m a snarky dickhead sometimes, I try not to be lol pls focus on the content rather than the delivery

 

I almost posted a comic about two astronauts docking, but I don't want to get banned for NSFW.

 

You’re talking to a creative writing graduate. Accepting criticism is a foreign term.

 

In slightly other news, I started playing FFXV and I literally have no idea what is going on or how someone came up with it.

 

I know you’re kidding but it’s still interesting. A lot of literally classics make use of foreshadowing, which is kinda like that. Also in classic literature, depending on the genre, people that have an understanding of it will often be aware of what will happen without having been spoiled, because things usually go a certain way.

 

I, the FF sceptic, am less down on that game than the FF fans here because it is so fucking weird

 

Trust me, all I take is criticism and accept it. That's why I don't write anymore, live alone in the mountains far from people who know me and tell myself I'm just a waste of space and a burden on my parents.

 

Do you really live in the mountains because I wish I would still live in the mountains these days

 

I just plain think it’s shit based on what I’ve seen of it and my history of not enjoying the genre at all *runs away*




But in all seriousness I watched gameplay of the remake last night (Dunkey...so not exactly subjective) and just laughed at the dialogue and all that nonsense that folk often characterise as ‘charming’.

 

Everything about my post was true.

 

I’m not going as far as recommending that anyone should play it, unless I know you’re down to clown like Vase

Also we’re talking 15, not 7.

 

Post docking now
