Some posters have stronger biases than others, which are explicitly reflected in their posting histories. Some probably wouldn't even hesitate to mention outright that they're overwhelming partial to one platform over the others.

After scanning Daily's post history, however, I'm not quite sure how anyone could come to the conclusion that he's partial towards any system.

So, it's flummoxing that he would be labeled as biased towards Sony, and even more confounding that this comment would even be directed towards him...

So, I'll go back to my last post - true platform preferences (if any) of a user don't always align with the board's perception and categorical label of that user.

C's please see my previous post.

Not so flummoxing after all. Pretty easy to figure it out.

I didn't do this and based my assumption off of just a few of his posts instead of the total. A mistake on my part.

I do enjoy your posts however.




Thanks! I appreciate that.

This whole board has simply felt very hostile lately and I don't get it. We're all talking about machines that play GAMES...games. Why is everybody so mad?

Ironic you ask Postman this.

He is one of the easiest here to upset.

I saw that but assumed he meant to reply to someone else. Regardless, any time someone has to use name calling to make their point, they've lost me.

Right, because you have never called anyone "fanboys" or anything.

You are supposed to be a big time PS pole smoker so you should know PS3 already has it.

I am basing it off of your posts just like anything else here


Yet, if we look at Daily's post history, we see comments such as...


quote:

[The Xbox One] can configure the split-screen positions based on where each is sitting.

This is pretty cool.



quote:

I think the 360 controller is pretty much perfect outside of it's squishy, imprecise feeling d-pad.


quote:

I don't know that Last Guardian would straight up sell me a PS4


quote:

I agree with all of this. It's a piece of crap but it's *something*. It was a huge mistake for the PS3 not to have one packed in.


quote:

I don't see how anyone who played with both the PS3 and 360 controller could think the PS3 controller was anywhere near as comfortable. Outside of the imprecise d-pad, the 360 controller is pretty much perfect in my book


quote:

I haven't pre-ordered either but it wouldn't surprise me if I eventually end up with both. Heck, I might even end up with a Wii U someday if Nintendo gets around to releasing some first party games on it.

But I don't plan on buying anything until I see released exclusive games that I want to play.


Clearly a "PS pole smoker"...

Cs, I already said I didn't look at his post history but enjoy wasting time in doing so and posting it when at this point it proves nothing.

I didn't say I've never called anyone anything ever, but I don't think I've ever called someone a name on here simply because I disagreed with them.

If I have, I wouldn't expect them to engage with me in conversation. There's no point talking to someone who says the equivalent of "You're stupid!" without even exchanging a single point.

I wanted to point it out explicitly to tie in to the earlier discussion regarding perceptions of users' preferences.

You emphasized the importance of post history to draw inferences and provide "context", yet admit you didn't do that...after saying you did and after you engaged in labeling Daily as "biased".

The point, however, is that other posters (RTR) rallied around this sentiment, regardless of its veracity, and perpetuated that sentiment by confronting Daily about his alleged bias. This is a pristine example of what I was referring to in my initial post, and it's something that has certainly occurred to other posters in the past.

If by calling a thread and board shitter out, yes.. It is really easy for you to get me to do that.

Carry on with thread and board shitting.

I never bash you on OT, because your threads are interesting, even the german ones. But for some reason, when you post on this board..you are like Hawk from over the top. You flip that hat around and you are a thread,board shitting machine. If you sit back and think about it..you are like an artist.An artist that using flinging poo as your medium.

congrats, maybe they can rename that E-award you always get the Stout Slings shite Daily award.

FWIW I'm enjoying you posting this example of what the culture of this board is like (or has been lately, at least).

But admittedly, I'm a bit biased in this exchange you 2 have got going.

I said all we have to go off of are peoples posts but I didn't say I would go digging into their post history to confirm my assumptions. If I notice a person posting one way then that is what I base my assumption off of.

I didn't notice Daily until last week some time and since then I have only noticed like 3 or 4 of his post. A few of which seemed defending or taking sides of the PS4. It's obvious I may have taken them out of context. My mistake was making an early conclussion about him off of so few post.

I can't speak for RTR and what he based his assumption off of.

Yea, you pretty much prove my point with each post you make.

After reading that though, and assuming your screen name is a representation of your profession, it's not shocking you are a Gov employee.

Let's just say this is true for the sake of argument. Why, to you, does that equal "PS pole smoker"? Why do you go so extreme with your assumption to imply I suck Playstation's genitals?

Maybe I'm too poor to afford both consoles and I simply picked the PS4 as my "horse" because it's cheaper? Maybe I wish I could buy a Xbox One, but can't, but I'm still excited about the features Sony is putting into the system I can afford.

What does any of that justify?

But to answer...if you are poor, wouldn't you also be a die hard fan of the one console you can afford to have?

Wouldn't your bias lean that way and you would defend it no matter how cool you though features of another console is?

The answer is yes because no one wants to feel like they have a lesser machine.

I'm a pretty big Smash Bros fan. And Zelda.

That's about it, though.
