What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of? (lemmy.ml)

Maybe you haven't been convinced by a good enough argument. Maybe you just don't want to admit you are wrong. Or maybe the chaos is the objective, but what are you knowingly on the wrong side of?

In my case: I don't think any games are obliged to offer an easy mode. If developers want to tailor a specific experience, they don't have to dilute it with easier or harder modes that aren't actually interesting and/or anything more than poorly done numbers adjustments. BUT I also know that for the people that need and want them, it helps a LOT. But I can't really accept making the game worse so that some people get to play it. They wouldn't actually be playing the same game after all...

Asking (paraphrasing) "hey what are you wrong about but unwilling to admit?" and then sticking a (metaphorical) "I think Nickleback is a pretty good band" opinion in the middle of it feels like a harder challenge than the designers of AskLemmy were intending

That is why askreddit banned "I'll start", half the comments were replies to the OP instead of sharing their own experiences.

I thought about it a bit when making this post and I felt like not giving an example would make people come with crazy political opinions which would probably be a bad time. Maybe it still wasn't the best approach, admittedly.

Maybe giving the example in a separate top-level comment would have worked better. Interesting discussion either way, though.

I mean, nickelback is a pretty good band.

Maybe even the best metal band ever

Iron Maiden? Goldfinger? Led Zeppelin? So many better metal bands, come on!!
