Still feel sad?
Get away from the board.
Before the weekend I still felt incredibly sad over the Walking Dead season 2, so much that I had not yet experienced from a video game, but I also felt annoyed.
And I realised it's this forum. I've just spent the weekend in my parents cabin in Sweden - which does not have internet access - and after spending time away from the forum and not replaying the game, or watching Let's Plays, I've finally started to feel better about the whole thing.
Today threads like "Hang all Jane fans" and "Dear Kenny fans .. get it right" are just two examples of what have been started, and I realised after just spending one evening back in the discussions that the sheer tone on these boards are extremely rough.
I think it's going to take a lot of time for these discussions to quiet down and settle in a more civil tone (I am to blame myself too)
So if any of you have the same problem I had, intense sadness that is hard to cure, try doing what I did and completely ignore this place for a while.
I think I will just be avoiding as many as the "Jane vs. Kenny" threads as I can now :x
Comments
I feel you, i bit my tongue trying not to comment on those, ultimately it comes down to personal preference as both are almost equal with wrongs and rights.
Hopefully everyone has said everything there is to say about that topic, unless it just goes in circles and they keep repeating themselves. Im done arguing on that topic. Just depends on how you interpret everything.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and thoughts about the whole Jane/Kenny situation, but I wish people would just quit with posting threads about it already too. I've seen so much about it already, it's everyday. There's no right or wrong ending, it's just there's a right or a wrong ending to that person's perspective and who they favor, which can always be different than somebody else's. Both sides have their flaws, but people seriously need to tone it down a bit.
The Kenny vs Jane thing has gotten rabid. Time to let it die out. Anything worth saying has been said. Those who are being reasonable are just repeating themselves and those still bringing it up are trolls. I don't even respond seriously anymore.
If you can't accept other people's way of playing a fucking video game thats your problem not mine.
I think this is some advice pretty much anyone should take now. I can't browse the boards without seeing harsh debates about whether it was right or wrong to let Kenny/Jane die, and watching one fandom wish the other one should feel bad about their decisions.
What everyone needs to remember is that this is a video game. It's not to be taken seriously. But it's hard to remember that when TTG does a good job with story-writing and messing with your head.
So yeah... if you're sad about the season finale, angry about fans' decisions, just take a break from the boards.
