Your dramatization of the conversation isn’t accurate:

“It's a discussion, not an argument.”

This is the “well ackshually” moment. But it’s also incorrect.

Anyway, you’re taking this too personally, so I’m going to disengage. But I will say, instead of getting defensive, when somebody corrects you, the easiest thing to do is say “oh thanks” or just ignore it if it’s bothers you.

lol, I'm not taking it personally. I just think it's silly and has next to nothing to do with what's being discussed.

It's like, if I say it feels like folks at the office are in an especially bad mood today, and someone comes by and tells me my "gut feeling" about the mood of the office isn't a strong argument... and I'm like, dude, it's just a conversational topic, not an argument, and then some third party pops in to "well, ackshually..." try and define the word argument...

This isn't personal. I'm not defensive. And in no way do I fell corrected. It just seems silly.

Again. I don't feel like Starfield is doing as well as what was anticipated. I believe it's probably dead in the water when it comes to GotY.

Do you have any thoughts about that, other than trying for several posts to explain to me what someone else meant by their comment and subsequently telling me what I meant by my reply? lol

Take it light.


I think it's doing fairly well. Not sure what their expectations were. But as I posted earlier it surpassed 6 million players in 2 days. Best launch for a Bethesda game.

It has the benefit of being on Steam and Game Pass for PC and Xbox.
