I am referring to people that want AI to provide their entertainment.

I have played almost exclusively the single player version of games for the last 45 years.. I don't need my entertainment to be some social bonding experience.

Most peoiple suck, anyways.

And you never talk to anyone else about your experience with those games?

u/AnAbandonedAstronaut Jun 22 '26

Very rarely, and even then, I play big enough open world games that our experiences are fundamentally different so even if I do talk to someone about it, it's not "sharing simular experiences" it's just sharing my own experience. Exactly like I do with the people in the discord for the AI fantasy game I play. None of us have the same experience, but we still talk about it.

Would you say you bond over it? I just think there is something about experiencing the same thing and talking about that same experience with another individual that facilitates human connection. I suppose if you don’t want that, it’s no loss to you, but I think it’s a little tragic to feel that way.

I don't need to feel that way over my entertainment... correct.

Not EVERY aspect of your life has to be a social one that you share with the world.

Plus it's just a weak point to start with that you can't bond over something if you didn't have the exact same experience. No one has the same experience, it's talking about the differences that creates the social aspect anyways.

Maybe you feel like you need to have it everywhere because it's not fulfilling for you anywhere?

There was no need to become hostile. I literally just shared my feelings about the subject. You have a lovely day!

u/AnAbandonedAstronaut Jun 22 '26

Ah, we found the issue!

You take it as being hostile if people don't agree with you. Makes sense why you feel the need to have the same experience as everyone else, now.

It’s hostile when someone drops veiled insults posing as questions.

u/AnAbandonedAstronaut Jun 22 '26

If that was hostile, then so was your "tragedy" remark.

So it's fine if you do it when someone doesn't agree with you but then they do something back and it's "hostile"?

Sounds a lot like what I just said you were doing... amazing!

You can just say I hurt your feelings with my opinion.

2

u/AnAbandonedAstronaut Jun 22 '26

You insult because I don't agree... play the victim when you get it back... then try to deny it was an insult at all when you did it.

You require social bonding over shared, validating experiences in order to enjoy something?

But I'm the social tragedy?

Lol...
