No part of that guy's comment is valid. He's not even the barest bit subtle about how badly he is distorting the facts.

Nobody is talking about any of these things: a gun that 1 tapped every enemy, infinite ammo, auto aiming, wanting every gun to become a 1 tap super weapon. It's not even part of the discussion. All of these are imaginary things this person made up. Somehow people are just looking at it and nodding instead of calling out the bullshit.

Bad straw man argument

Is there a name for the phenomenon when a company or group has access to all of the metrics for a product or good then makes foolish decisions using that information?

Right now Arrowhead can deflect all criticism of their actions by saying "we made this decision based on the numbers" while ignoring the fact that metrics aren't magic numbers blindly meant to be followed, you are supposed to use them to discover underlying reasons for why those numbers exist in the first place.

This patch is a big L for me and a bad omen for what is to come of this game if the devs are making their decisions like this.

I thought they were just paying someone to half assedly maintain MAL for the last few years, but it turns out they were paying someone to build a back end and create a browsable database so they can sell user's information for their own profit.

One of the original Reddit memes was quite prescient:

I really liked DRG. Have maxed out all the classes and enjoy carrying people through Haz5 and EDD. However, DRG:Survivor from the very first announcement just seemed like nothing more than a cash grab to me and made me uninterested in it.

I have only seen the first season. I went in knowing as much about the series as you, being aware that it is a popular franchise but knowing nothing else.

I had my expectations pretty low when I started the first episode. The turning point for me was at the end of the episode when one of the main characters says "Baka, baka" after something completely stupid and ridiculous happens, that's when my brain went "Oh it is OK to laugh at this, they are just being silly in this show."

Then the rest of the season was a goofy ride full of anime harem shenanigans. On a technical level, DAL isn't really special, though the characters, character designs, absurdity of the setting and the OVA punch above their weight.

I stopped at a convenience store in Boston to ask for directions once. Not sure if the guy I asked was trolling or not, but he responded in the heaviest most unintelligible Boston accent of all time and I ended up still being lost lol.

And the idol spin off series, Love Live

I liked when Summer said "Space Momma" because that was cute.

The animation actually looks good but I dislike the character designs and art style. I know they picked an action sequence to show off, but the real meat of R&M has always been the comedy - I wonder how that will translate with a Japanese production team at the helm.

Weird to think that R&M has been around for 10 years already. Maybe even as recently as 3 years ago I was still really hyped about this show and I would have been more excited, but now I am just sorta like "meh."
