Are you guilty of this? Do you keep on pushing people to try things even after they've said that they've already tried something and didn't like it?

I swear, if someone tries to get me dance again even after I've repeatedly said that I a) don't want to dance and b) can't dance for shit, I'll personally drive them to a doctor to get their ears and mental faculties checked.

No, because I hate it when people do it to me.

Very situationally

Someone has tried carrots and hates the taste of carrots. carrots happen to be part of this drink I think they'd like, which itself doesn't taste at all like carrots. They refuse to try the drink that doesn't taste anything like what they've tried and hated... then yeah, because it's a different taste and having tried one minor part of something doesn't mean youve tried the whole thing

If they've tried the drink as a whole and hated it, no

No, I'm pretty much the exact opposite. If someone says they don't like something, I won't even bring it up again if I can help it.

Yeah, I can be this way, though I'm also the opposite way where I hesitate to recommend something to people because it's old/fiddly/etc. and I don't want them to hate something I like.

*tips fedora*

grow up

omg, this shit is too frequent, dethtool, that i thought this anon is your right hand man.

I feel the same way. I really want to rec my favorite but I'm so afraid that no one but me actually likes it and so now I'm really hesitant to suggest it to anyone or to even talk about it.

I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours!

CrossGen

I read some articles that praise it but then I also hit this wall of "it's so 90s" and stuff like that. When I do bring it up to someone who used to read it, they're always "wow, I haven't thought of that in years" so I wonder if it isn't actually fairly forgettable. I feel like the only person who still wholly loves this series, and feel self-conscious, like I should've outgrown it years ago.

What's yours?

Wait a minute, are you the person from this thread

I've not read Crossgen myself, but there's some big names on it apparently. And yes, it's very 90s, but that's not necessarily a bad thing!

In my case, it's Marathon. One of the few exclusive claims to fame for the Mac in the 1990s, on its surface it's just another Doom clone (complete with somewhat abstract level design) but even 10 minutes of play reveals hints of a startling philosophical and literary depth that only gets deeper into the second and third games.

The problem is, it's an old FPS -- and it uses save points, rather than quick-saving (though you can certainly mod quicksaving in!) As such it's rather fiddly and difficult, especially as Aleph One (the source port for playing it on modern systems of any OS) has a couple quality of life issues. So I'm very hesitant to recommend it to people. At least it's legally free.

Yeah, that was me. I just don't know enough about comics as a whole to know how other comic fans would view CrossGen or what their expectations are so I can appropriately manage them. I'm not even sure if the art's up to par.

I just quickly read the wiki on your game, and it does sound very interesting! I haven't played a ton of games but the ones I have played, the stories and the characters are always my favorite parts. And worldbuilding. I love great worldbuilding! (Sadly, I am completely technologically challenged. I don't think I've had one game ever that didn't freeze/crash my computer or just not work. But I do love older games.)

Marathon was my shit! Goddamn, I dumped so many hours into those games. My brother and I used to design elaborate maps and then make each other run through them.

And the awesome story. And those badass theme songs.

First time I ever joined a LAN party, too. Man, so much nostalgia right now.

If you feel like playing it again, here you go!

I completely know what I mean.

It's actually, like, distinct stages in my life. I used to recommend everything to everyone. Now I don't recommend hardly anything because it's just so hard to try to understand what people actually want, you know?

I don't do this because I haaaaaaaaaaaate it when people do it to me. But at the same time I get exasperated with people who refuse to try new foods. I don't mean they've tried it and decided they don't like it (which is what people always bring up in a really defensive manner), I mean they won't even consider it because it sounds "too weird" or whatever. Even then I don't push them because hey, more for me.

I try to avoid doing cause can't stand it. Like, I don't care for figurines. Yes I own 2, literally 2, and I tried getting into collecting and I can't. I'm not interested in it and I'm not interested when a figurines comes out for anything I watch. I have particular exceptions but 99% of the time I'm not into it and don't want it.
