yes, it’s terrible. I’m like 90% sure it started out as a teen drama before being turned into a Mist adaptation.

People complained about it being “SJW” and shit initially, but it sure seems like they’ve handled each issue in the most problematic way possible (“No, the rape accusation was false, it was the gender fluid kid who actually did it.”)

depends. A lot of times pilots are just used to sell the program to the network; sometimes said pilot airs as the first episode, sometimes not. The former are usually the ones that aren’t especially great.

Dont really watch much TV but if ive been recommended something I will watch 3 or 4 episodes before (like in Breaking Bads case) ditching it.

Books. If it doesnt grip me I will just stop reading it at some point basically as soon as I start seeing it as a chore. The amount of unfinished books ive been through

Computer games: 40 hours in: ‘Nah this isnt doing it for me’

Trolling isn’t ever wonderful though.

Did anyone make a toilet joke yet? Around the lines of “well I was sitting there looking at it for an hour and came to the conclusion that… yep, it’s shite!” Anything like that?

SORRY WHAT’S THIS ABOUT WRESTLING

It’s daft

Not to rise to obvious trolling, but (rises anyway…)

I haven’t played a game in about 5 years so I’ve got no personal stake in the argument, but it’s just so reductive and small minded that it annoys me anyway. This isn’t people judging a certain individual game (like they kasabian example) but dismissing an entire art form. The equivalent would be saying you wouldn’t go out with someone who reads or likes art or watches TV - totally fine to have a preference but those statements would all seem pretty crazy and I don’t see how dismissing all gamers is any different

I know it is, I still love it though and doesn’t mean it doesn’t have it’s own inherent value :wink:

I’ll probably go to Norwich on Saturday to play Game of Thrones instead, so my super cool persona won’t be harmed too much.

tv: don’t really watch it

films: only watch with other people so would always just watch the whole thing

books: haven’t read one for 10 years

games: will mostly complete anything I start so I can add it to my speadsheet.

DiSers music: will always try to listen to a full album/EP or whatever.

my own music: will finish the skeleton of most tracks in one day, come back and if it seems shit the next day will abandon.
