Oh, since we are doing sports: Rugby fans are worse than football fans. The can be more or less just as twattish but are also filled with a completely unearned sense of self-importance that they are better than football fans. We don't need to be separated into segregated cages as we have learned not to punch and stab each other because we support one team over the other. Also we are allowed to drink beer in the stadium. We are objectively better people. |

Rugby League is a better sport than Rugby Union, it’s just a lot poorer I always enjoy League greatly whenever I get to watch it, but seems to rarely be full games on normal TV. For a very long time, I thought sport in general was incredibly boring (besides snooker). I then realised that it is actually just football that is as dull as dishwater. You spend 20 minutes watching some people kick a ball between each other, for one brief second of possible scoring. Whether that goes in or not (normally not), you are back to 20 minutes of meaningless passing. Then you have the way it is talked about on the news and current affairs programmes constantly, spoken about with such reverance, as if any of it is actually important. The fans are the worst too. I particularly hate it when you see them on quiz shows and say they are into sport. Then a question about any sport besides football comes up and they have no idea. You are into football, not sport! On a positive side, the fans are such nerds about football (just listen to them reeling off facts and figures from decades ago), that it makes me feel less bad about being less nerdy about more traditionally nerdy things. |

I think stories in games are almost universally shit. The only ones I like are when they don't take away control from your character (e.g. Portal and Half Life, and GTA/ RDR to an extent), or where there's a lot of choices to keep things interesting (e.g. Mass Effect and The Witcher).
If I'm just forced to watch a cutscene then I lose interest and either skip them or not pay attention. My absolute pet hate is playing an action game and watching an action sequence rather than playing it, Halo 5 did this quite a few times and it feels ridiculous. I love Halo campaigns but I haven't a clue what happens in any of them, apart from some bad guys are trying to kill humans.
I don't really include visual novel/ walking simulators in this generalisation as I usually find them a bit of a waste of time, but the stories of thoseI've played are usually a bit naff as well (To The Moon being an exception).

And yeah rugby is a dreadful sport played by cunts. Also British people who are really onto American sports always remind me of Tex off Alan Partridge.

I do think this is true to an extent but the way stories can be presented in video games raises them above the sum of their parts. It's why games don't translate well to films. There's a lot to be said about being part of a story, interacting with characters and feeling like you have some agency over the outcome that you can't get in films and books
I also think games get away with things that would just seem too silly in other mediums. Like fighting robot dinosaurs in a post apocalyptic tribal society with a bow is really, really dumb

The whole Zelda franchise is overrated and all follow the same boring formula. Formula E is more interesting to watch than Formula 1. Wetherspoons have a breadth of offering and ease of service all pubs should aspire to. I don’t agree but at least the first two had some semblance of reason to them. But then you said the third thing and it’s clear you’re a lunatic and must be stopped. Actually I agree with the Wetherspoons thing. Sure, their pubs are lacking in character and the dickhead rating is higher than usual, but ordering and paying on your phone is 1000% better than muscling your way to the front of a crowded bar. And don't get me started on all the etiquette and agonising around whose turn it is to be served, if the staff don't know. We should have dropped that system years ago. |

Related- people who stand at a bar drinking their drinks are twats. They were always twats, and even moreso now that the staff have to worry about sharing air with every disease ridden punter.

I like standing at the bar, not in a wetherspoons but in most locals it's where the most interesting conversation is. I 100% agree with all the restrictions brought in, but I do miss standing/sitting at the bar if I go out. |

I wouldn't go to 'spoons anymore as I've realised how much of a knob the owner is (and he looks like a dodgy knockoff Thundercat)
But I did frequent it a lot at uni. Having a rotation of cheap ale and cheap jugs of cocktail (the asskicker used to contain coke abd 6 shots of wray and nephews rum) appealed to a drunken student.
