Gaming used to be a niche thing with a very specific target audience that is not the case anymore and it will never be the same.

That niche specifically, when it comes to MMORPGs, being fans of MUDs, D&D, lore-ridden epics, or early early games that were heavily influenced by any of those. The majority don't give a shit about storytelling in gaming anymore, or making friends and journeying with them. That's not where the money is anymore. An online MMORPG now is a game you solo on, instance to get your bonus exp, then part ways and never hear from those people again. Community isn't marketable anymore unless you're still in that niche. Thus why there is an emulation of a 17/18 year old game that still has a dedicated player base.

Will it ever make a comeback? I doubt it, but it's possible if people in that niche made something fresh. Ya know, instead of trolling people's efforts to do just that or dismissing them because of personal life problems that have nothing to do with the game.

No it's not. I never said he was insignificant. And no, I am not the arbiter of "said list of "reasonable people."" I am only the Adjudicator of Indecision ^^

You didn't but AzzarTheGod did and that was how this asinine derail got started in the first place.

[Treefall]

Troll or not...I wonder if any of these people ever realize how horrible they are?

What is the point or purpose of derailing someone over their personal struggles?

When I was younger I loved the anonymity of the internet but as I get older I'm not sure I feel that way any more. There should be some form of public accountability.

A simple moral check: would I say this in public to a crowd? If the answer is no...then don't type it on a public form.

Nirvana sucks. That is pretty well understood by reasonable people.

Cobain is a "talent" like Britney Spears.

Contrarianism is no substitute for having an interesting or insightful opinion

There is nothing contrarian about disliking a band disliked by virtually every intelligent person ever

Call me a follower if you want to hit even remotely close with your shot in the dark.

More on this later. These guys want to call it this and that.

What now? Real stories, real artist, real feedback on opiates/opioids and creative ability.

[Trollhide]

Nirvana was my shit when I was an angsty little high-school shit. Then I grew up, re-listened to their stuff, and came to the conclusion that yes they are fucking garbage.

Wow. Just wow. Are you seriously trying to argue that only artists who used drugs "occasionally" are good? You're either the dumbest person ever or the worst troll ever. Oh and Kurt Cobain is insignificant and talent-less? lmao. Got to be the worst troll ever because I can't fathom anyone being that dumb.

Who is the idiot now? I specifically specified chronic opiate/opioid administration. Maskedmelon this is directed at you as well if you want that beef. I WAS making the argument that you thought I wasn't.

Enlighten yourself and get back to me, Ballz. You're a one-shot one-post chump.

In that link, I provide real world evidence and anecdotal honesty about chronic opiate use and how it has affected the music and behavior of a famous artist with several billboard hits

That is more billboard success and hits than Cobain. Try that on for size (((Lune)))
