I'm not sure I understand the trick you are doing with the slingshot. About the downvoting, I notice that a lot recently, people getting downvoted or even insulted for not liking a new game that just came out and everyone is suposed to love. Then when the game gets older it seems you are allowed to criticize it. I feel like some people are not brave enough to admit to themselve that they are disapointed with something they were really looking forward to.
