Well, that's uh.....it's certainly....hmm

Textbook straw man, since that's not actually what I said at all.

Please point out the false dichotomy in my argument. I’ll repeat it here for you:

Puritan modesty.

You don’t get to tell me to run along and bother someone else when you’re the one who butted in with nothing to say. You're the one doing the bothering. And no, you did not "shoot down" my argument. You build a straw man and you're congratulating yourself for tearing it down.

Criticizing my argument is not making an argument of your own. Unless you have something to talk about, why do you keep coming back to a conversation that never concerned you in the first place? Just like the sounds your keyboard makes?

It's "cue" actually. Unless you're asking them to stand in line or something.

Uh, I think you left the story out of this story. Why are they upset in the first place?

I see your point but one could argue that they were seeing the show anyway, and her playing the rant had no bearing on whether her fans bought tickets or not

...at a show she's charging people to see.

Defend it against what? You haven’t made any kind of point.

No, it's bad because the show's writing can't sustain drama on its own, so it resorts to needlessly killing off a huge list of characters rather than developing them. It's a cheap way to generate drama.

Death can be realistic, but it's not necessarily. It's used cheaply in GoT as a way of generating cheap drama because the writing isn't strong enough to sustain drama any other way.

Just because this is a public forum doesn't mean you have to chime in. Just because you can talk doesn't mean you have anything to say.

Maybe if I thought you had anything worth saying, but we both know you don't.

His problem wasn't not knowing the controls. It was that he forgot about an entire gameplay mechanic.

I had a similar issue with The Witcher 3 this week. Went back to finally finish my NG+ playthrough after leaving it 6 months ago or so, since I just recently picked up Hearts of Stone, and even though Steam says I’ve logged 250 hours with the game it was a good 2 hours before I had the hang of the combat again and…

That's all fine, I guess, but I don't see how that makes for good or interesting writing. I find nihilism to be juvenile and uninteresting.

Textbook butting into a conversation that doesn't concern you while contributing nothing of value. Move along.

The books, the show....the issue is the same. They’ve lost any semblance of actual plot and are now simply falling back on character deaths as a way to cheaply produce drama because they don’t have any other creative way of doing so.
