Weird question, maybe pointless, and yeah, kinda petty I will admit, but eh, there’s no stupid questions and I kinda got curious after an interaction (see after the dots if your curious).

IDK, everytime someone hits someone else with “figure it out yourself” to a question, all I hear is: “There’s nothing to figure out, but I’m just gonna disengage while trying to save face”. Of course, it’s not for 100% of cases, but I mean, if you can’t even muster up a basic laconic explanation, and instead go “figure it out” to a question that’s being sincerely asked…IDK, man, it really makes you think on who needs to figure what out lol

Is that just me or nah?

Some background: I made the mistake of actually engaging with a Youtube comment today. I know, I know, rookie mistake, but some of them can lead to intetesting convos. It basically went something like this:

Random: (talking about Baldur’s Gate 3’s Character Creator) It’s 2023, a game shouldn’t need modders to add things you can do in unmodded Skyrim. They failed

Me: There’s a lotta things you can do here that you can’t do in Skyrim and vice versa, not just in character creation. That’s…kinda normal, so what’s the problem here?

Random: I like how you say BG3’s character creator’s better but never offered any examples. Continue to not understand basic concepts.

Me: Listen. I’m not picking a fight, just trying to understand the complaints here. Also, never said it was better, just that there are things that you can’t do in Skyrim that you can in BG3 and vice versa. But if you want a list on things you can do: gives list and other examples, even on what you can do in Skyrim but not in BG3’s CC. There’s differences, but yeah, not every game’s gonna try and emulate Skyrim or Witcher “but better” (and even if they do, they’ll always be something they won’t do as well).

Random: your opinion is subjective, so is mine. I dismiss your points and subjectively choose mine.

Me: And that’s valid, man! Hey, so, about those basic concepts i couldn’t get, what exactly were they?

Random: figure it out yourself

I did say it was petty lmao

    Oh, I’m more than sure this like, a hard two on the scale of “how wild a situation this can devolve into”, but opening as an argument…i mean, is that even an arguement/discussion at that point? (Unless it’s throwing it down when someone shows up to debate you without doing basic research like thatweirdguy1001 commented. That i can understand)
