'cause, I mean, your prior response wasn't much better than what you're now accusing me of in terms of how it relates to what I said.
Well, no, I actually addressed what you said. In fact, you repeated the same point again after I already said it wasn't a point being contested. The fact is, you've presented a false dichotomy in which the lack of overall PC requirements (which is what this represents) is opposed by nobody ever pushing boundaries. The two aren't even really related, unless Mirror's Edge represents the sum of gaming development. It doesn't. There are games on the market with "steeper" requirements, so the argument is invalid.
My prior response was on-target. Please don't pretend otherwise in order to indicate we somehow did the same thing. I addressed you. You ignored me, and did so three times now. And that's your right, I guess, and I guess there is nothing more to say (since you appear to only be interested in repeating the same false dichotomoy). But don't misrepresent me in the process. That should be a warning sign. Though, honestly...I don't know what else I expected.
I disagree that your reply addressed anything.
I repeat myself when I feel like I'm being ignored, or having what I've said brushed aside.
So...
What else do you want from me? You brush aside what I say and now claim you didn't, and are accusing me of misrepresenting you to boot.
But I'll re-read the whole thing then shall I?
- I say I'm concerned about the state of PC gaming if this is considered demanding.
- You state what can only be taken as a complete contradiction of that opinion 'I think it's great'.
- I elaborate about
why I think it's a bad thing. (technological stagnation, people not trying to push any technical boundaries)
- You brush aside my point and forward an unrelated point that is neither here nor there in relation to what I said, beyond, again, being flatly dismissive
- I elaborate further, because you seem so dismissive of what I've said.
- You claim it's a point nobody is making
except it's the point I WAS MAKING, and one you seem to be trying to dismiss without addressing in the slightest
...
I mean, are you being serious here? Because it's kinda ridiculous that you brush off my argument (the only one you could possibly be responding to in the first place, otherwise you can't meaningfully have been addressing me specifically), and then come up with a pretty much unrelated point as a response, and
I'm the one making strawman arguments?
I mean, seriously? I can't even begin to understand how you came to that conclusion.
Well, whatever. This is so far beyond my comprehension I might as well not even pretend I understand it anymore.
Clearly I underestimated the severity of my deficiencies.
I have no idea what's going on anymore.
