| Topic | Why do people get so mad about spoilers? |
| ParanoidObsessive 08/15/21 4:42:24 PM #26: | wwinterj25 posted... Why not judge yourself? Ehh, in the modern world where more media is generated on a regular basis than any human being would ever be able to consume even across multiple lifetimes, judging for yourself can be incredibly inefficient. It sucks if you waste 2 hours of your life watching a terrible movie, because you're never getting those 2 hours back and you could have used them to experience something much better. It sucks even worse when you waste 20-40+ hours of your life on a terrible video game. The trick is, even if you don't trust other people's reviews (and you shouldn't, most people have terrible taste), it's fairly easy to find plot summaries that aren't necessarily spoiler-ish, so you can kind of get a feel for what the story is like while still experiencing any surprises or twists relatively fresh. So the best solution is rarely skip to the end and see how the story concludes. Especially since reading a bland summary of the ending without any of the context that led up to it is almost always going to leave you cold and uninterested. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
