Shouldn't it be assumed that all comments are from the (fallible) perspective of the commentator unless otherwise stated? Did US Americans forget how to contextualize things?

I apply an implicit imho to almost all poasts that don't involve numbers or statistics stated in concrete. Saves a lot of headache

If I said, "FFXII is an amazing game and there is nothing bad about it," would I be stating my opinion as a fact?

No.

People don't like FFXII. Get over it. I love the game to pieces and I don't care. What's your problem?

The phenotypes are better left unseen. JRPG creators + Kojima aren't thinking of the western market really. If they were, and if they saw the phenotypes, they'd quit out of shame.

It's a good point that the gen thing was basically a marketing coup

Consoles weren't inherently weighted and pitted against each other in the minds of the average consumer in earlier times, as far as I can tell. No direct experience but you can get a forensic mosaic from adwork/industry mags/videos etc. They'd come out at around the same time but prior to this thing stirring from its sleep in perhaps the xbox/gc/ps2 gen there weren't really "console wars" outside of the board rooms of the respective companies involved

At some point in the 00s there was a paradigm shift to these sorts of products not just being used as badges to make and mark elements of consumer identity (which really blew up in the 80s as far as vidya goes iirc) but these identities then began to compete while using their hosts as gladiator-knights of capital, symbiotically defending and advancing their chosen badge. The implications of this are troublesome

Xbox is alive and well and R&Ding new Consoles. What a fucking Gatekeeping fool.

One of the fun parts about discourse with dumbs is how they make shit up. That's what keeps it interesting. One time a kid in school INSISTED that humans were in process of evolving a sixth finger. I saw a redditor the other day declare that the republican party is Dead. He insisted.

"Fact" and "opinion" are just points on the confidence spectrum of a primate trying to sound less afraid. A lemur will scream "Thats a FACT!!!" not because it IS--but because their ape brain is panicking, and theyve been taught shouting "facts" gives you an epistemological force field.

If he states something confidently that isn't pre-approved by the chimpanzee commissariat then sure. But the real rule is that you can assert an opinion as fact as long as it conforms to the dominant narrative. For instance, you can say "climate change is real" which in reality is an opinion, but according to ape consensus is "fact". If you say "maybe some models overstate it", hominids will tell you its an opinion. Its not the CONTENT of the claim that matters- its where it lands on the consensus map, and if that strays too far from the lemur comfort gradient it triggers melvin's "opinion" alarm
