SCREENSHOT SURVIVAL 20XX

I know they can be extended as far back as you like. But what you just said is absurd. If you give someone a resource, it is intended to be used as is. It is also intended to be used for other purposes, but it is clearly useful as it is. I can go to the back yard, and I can look at my house. I don't see a difference in what I am seeing in and the roof of this house. Yes, sure I can make houses twice this big. I don't need to. It's the image of a house. You can tell it is a house, correct? So why criticize that point? It's a house.

What else can I work on? The roads? Sure, fine, I'll work on the roads. You think I can add stand to add mushrooms, or a bigger farm? Sure, fine. But learn that when I say something is fine, it is fine and just say "whatever, next topic. Your mountains also look like crap." I can't stand people who fixate on one topic. Going on and on, in an endless rant, having absurdly long paragraphs by all observation just extending sentences and paragraphs just to fill space. They just talk and talk, when they should long since shut up, changed topic, or just moved on. And it's always the same point, over and over, like a broken record rather than offering something new that might actually convince that person. The person isn't interested in being preached at or told what to do, can't you understand that? Why are you rambling on and on about something that doesn't matter? Because that's never something I would do (just did).

Kincaid was probably asked to add some shadow to his paintings. Picasso to give his portraits more realistic dimensions. You know what they said to their critics? STFU. I'm no artist, but the point holds.

Keep foaming at the mouth.

What makes it good? Can you answer?
Is it because people like it? Because it is my intention to have fun making a game, not to be liked.
Is it because everyone else uses this formula? Does that make it a better formula? Or just an unoriginal one?
What makes it good? I've played alot of the games that were held up as good. For about five minutes. Generally, the more it stuck to the winning formula, the less I wanted to play it.

The problem of listening to critique, is precisely that you have no idea whether this represents people who have never actually played the game, people who have played the game but are in the minority, people in the majority, or even people on the fringe. So you have to listen to advice with a grain of salt. Even a bunch of people agreeing on a point doesn't mean they are right, and you can effectively screw yourself over pandering to whims of people.

If I did everything exactly according to the people here, would all of you suddenly start becoming rabid fans? More than likely, no. I have spent my life changing to please others, only to find that many of them were never pleased. Criticism is easy. But nobody in my family that criticized my work ever bought my books, played my games, encouraged my dreams.
So yea, I might decide to straighten the roads. I might even decide to make bigger houses, or fence in the garden. But I'll be damned if I'm giving you the pleasure of ever letting you know if I've gone along with anything you've ever said. Not like you really care, anyway.
