>BBK_Kid 16 years ago#75 If I said, "FFXII is an amazing game and there is nothing bad about it," would I be stating my opinion as a fact?
No.
People don't like FFXII. Get over it. I love the game to pieces and I don't care. What's your problem? |

Date: April 12th, 2025 3:22 PM Author: "'''""""'"' It's a good point that the gen thing was basically a marketing coup Consoles weren't inherently weighted and pitted against each other in the minds of the average consumer in earlier times, as far as I can tell. No direct experience but you can get a forensic mosaic from adwork/industry mags/videos etc. They'd come out at around the same time but prior to this thing stirring from its sleep in perhaps the xbox/gc/ps2 gen there weren't really "console wars" outside of the board rooms of the respective companies involved At some point in the 00s there was a paradigm shift to these sorts of products not just being used as badges to make and mark elements of consumer identity (which really blew up in the 80s as far as vidya goes iirc) but these identities then began to compete while using their hosts as gladiator-knights of capital, symbiotically defending and advancing their chosen badge. The implications of this are troublesome |

"Xbox, the console, is now dead. There isn't another one being released and the "console war" was declared over months ago."
Xbox is alive and well and R&Ding new Consoles. What a fucking Gatekeeping fool. |

Date: April 18th, 2025 8:49 AM Author: fluid "Fact" and "opinion" are just points on the confidence spectrum of a primate trying to sound less afraid. A lemur will scream "Thats a FACT!!!" not because it IS--but because their ape brain is panicking, and theyve been taught shouting "facts" gives you an epistemological force field.

|
Date: April 18th, 2025 8:59 AM Author: fluid If he states something confidently that isn't pre-approved by the chimpanzee commissariat then sure. But the real rule is that you can assert an opinion as fact as long as it conforms to the dominant narrative. For instance, you can say "climate change is real" which in reality is an opinion, but according to ape consensus is "fact". If you say "maybe some models overstate it", hominids will tell you its an opinion. Its not the CONTENT of the claim that matters- its where it lands on the consensus map, and if that strays too far from the lemur comfort gradient it triggers melvin's "opinion" alarm (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5709201&forum_id=2Elisa#48860052) |
