And yeah, I agree with the rest, the comments under the articles can get a bit heated. It's especially annoying when a bunch of new users start jumping on you in the comments.
But I've said enough ''controversial'' stuff over the years, I think I'm immune lol.
Breath of the Wild is still a terrible Zelda game, fight me!
@Th3solution well said! I was thinking great eulogy too lol but hopefully Kratos is alive. If it's true that the trolls got to him then it is a real shame. Game series span many formats and in hindsight there are clear winners in terms of the best version of a game on any format. Other times the waters can be a lot more muddy when different platforms feature different features. I always find platform agnosticism to be the best approach to enjoying the best version of any particular game. Obviously that only works in hindsight though once everybody has tested the game put on different platforms!
When it comes to the comment sections on articles my new rule is pretty much I only respond if I recognise the username or if the comment seems constructive and generally coming from a good place. Anything that is baiting me I just avoid because it will rile me up and then I just fuel it. I used to respond and it got me grumpy a fair bit. It is disheartening to write something and then someone dismiss outright and be rude.
@Octane I think your most controversial comment was when you said that Breath of the Wild 2 will be clear 3/10. And that it should feature Bowzette.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@Octane put up your dukes! Only joking everybody is entitled to their opinion and I'm sure you may have been tongue in cheek about bowsette but I think Nintendo is missing a trick in not adopting that character...
It's been awhile since I posted here but I wanted to say goodbye as well to KartosMD. He was one user that I really enjoyed. It's a shame he let the trolls get to him but in this day and age of your are going to be on the internet you are going to need a thick skin. I think deleting his account was a bit extreme but it is what it is. Hopefully he will be back soon.

Just catching up on this thread, amongst others (busy busy couple of weeks), can't believe KratosMD has gone. Hopefully he'll be back when the new generation dawns, because he brought a lot to the site.

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
Coming back after a week, I was clicking through all of my notifications and found that barely any of them worked. Topics which were 500 replies long are now 400 or less, and the site got confused.
It was quite a sobering measure of the impact KratosMD had around here. Take him and his contributions away, and we're simply a lesser forum. He clearly has his reasons, and nobody should stand in the way of his decision, but it's still a crushing shame to see him gone.
If you're reading this, buddy, I hope you're gonna be alright. Won't be the same without you.

Catching up and seen about KratosMD. Kind of shocking to see such a avid contributor just leave out of the blue without a word. I'm just going to echo the sentiments of others and wish him the best and hope that sometime in the future he feels happy enough to return and engage with our mostly well meaning and respectful community. Even if there definitely has been an increase in antagonistic morons about but mainly just in comment sections of articles.
@Tasuki hey man long time no speak. Good to see you in the comments again!

As I mentioned to the guys in the Danganronpa thread a couple of days ago I'd been a little ill (Though nothing to worry about!) plus I haven't really been in a gaming mood either... Not to mention I've been rather sporadic in posting here too.
So after a couple of days thinking about it I think it's a good time to take a little break from Push Square (Probably two weeks at least I reckon) and come back when I'm physically and mentally refreshed!
Cheerio guys and see you all soon
Don't have too much fun without me!

I just need a break, I've got a podcast project coming up and want to focus more on Literature and my upcoming PhD until Elden Ring comes out, plus I've just felt more stressed out gaming recently and just need a break.
All the best, and happy gaming everyone. Stay safe,
Draco
