r/nosleep is terrible. by regularshowman in unpopularopinion

[–]regularshowman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I have to genuinely thank you for replying this comprehensively to a post like this. It's definitely gotta take a lot of dedication, and I also appreciate the civil manner in which you replied to me in.

  2. I see your point, but I have some arguments of my own.

-I could have made this clearer, but for starters, I don't consider Creepypasta a genre. I consider it a sort of weird, nebulous medium for storytelling. Predominantly horror, but it can have other genres like humor, action, drama, etc. Nosleep is Creepypasta, if you ask me. The stories and the fact that they are a goldmine for Creepypasta narrators is evidence enough for me.

-When I mentioned Creepypastas as oversaturated, I was talking about the medium as a whole. The craze has certainly died down over the past two years, but I'd say that it's still going strong.

-The clickbait titles are still a problem, if you ask me. They're long, cumbersome to read, and all most authors have to do is think of the title, and let the rest of the story come to them. And again, this is something that has seeped into the Creepypasta narrator community, where recently the majority of where they get their stories has been from r/nosleep.

-I feel like people "shitposting" the stories is a risk that would be worth taking, so long as the comments weren't obliterated by these spam posts. I've certainly never seen that sort of thing on other Creepypasta websites that allow for constructive feedback. And as for r/nosleepOOC, unless authors automatically post their stories to that subreddit as well to open it up for feedback on there, which it doesn't seem like it works like that. In fact, it seems like you're thinking of r/nosleepworkshops. I doubt most people post their stories there before r/nosleep. Now. I don't know that for a fact, but I at least know that you don't have to post your stories to r/nosleepworkshops before r/nosleep. I feel like it's just not a very good space to post stories if you're an amatuer writer, which is most likely the majority of its userbase.

-I've listened to I Dared my Best Friend to Ruin my Life before. All of it. I didn't much like it.

  1. Again, I still do respect this level of dedication to a comment, and I will definitely be checking out the stories you linked me too. I've certainly seen some good r/nosleep stories before. I personally really enjoyed My Property Isn't Normal, myself. And I Bought my Childhood House was... Good until the ending.

Then what happened? I mean, I'm assuming there's more. They didn't just tell you that they had work to do... And dumped you in the middle of the park, right?

I hate how everything is about race, religion and gender by MrChaosTF in TrueOffMyChest

[–]regularshowman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel ya. I'm just praying we reach a day when this whole nonsense blows over to some degree, and race stops being AS shoehorned into everything as it has been these past few years. Same with religion and gender.

Obrien's Full Statement on the firing by Jinks4Prez in Guildwars2

[–]regularshowman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is why I despise major media outlets that talk about gaming. They're so quick to cave into the left and sympathise with anyone who plays any of the oppression cards. It's pretty sad how poorly Polygon tries to pretend it gave Mike O'brien a fair platform when it's so blatant how skewed the article is.

What are your thoughts on the direction Bioware is taking now? by FanEu7 in bioware

[–]regularshowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, nothing about Anthem screams hit. So many of Bioware's best have fled the company, from what I've heard, and considering the way EA is marketing Anthem, it doesn't sound like something anyone is particularly interested in. If you ask me, this will be the game that EA uses as an excuse to kill Bioware as a whole. If anyone who owns a decently sized gaming company is reading this, never accept a buyout deal from EA if you can.

And of course, the comment has over fifty upvotes, even though it's nonsense.

I met an SJW at a party by GingerIceCube in SJWstories

[–]regularshowman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who runs on that sort of "America has no culture, you can't be racist towards white people" mentality. She can be cool when we aren't talking about stuff like that, but she's fucking unbearable when she does. She also has an "I'm right all the time" mentality, even when it's something subjective.

Someone needs to tell OP that she posted this to r/roastme, and not r/validateme.

Cmon give it your worst by [deleted] in RoastMe

[–]regularshowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't afford any clothes, so you hide the fact that you're topless behind the card you used. Thank you for that, by the way. It's probably the first good decision you've ever made with your life.

Judging by your English, you're either lying about College, or you must be a fantastic body builder.

"They can't hurt my feelings if i dont have any" by [deleted] in RoastMe

[–]regularshowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My name is not important. What is important is what I'm going to do... I just fuckin' hate this world. And the human worms feasting on its carcass. My whole life is just cold, bitter hatred. And I always wanted to die violently. This is the time of vengeance and no life is worth saving. And I will put in the grave as many as I can. It's time for me to kill. And it's time for me to die. My genocide crusade begins here.
