I thought your comment was funny, and thought "well maybe the downvoters are being a bit too trigger happy"; but I think it's right to downvote. HN needs to stay vigilant about the quality of content offered- we've all see the slippery slope online communities tread on. Please keep comments on-topic and providing interesting insights to the post at hand. HN will be a better place for it.
- alttab 11y agoYeah nothing says "off topic" like relating to the topic by agreeing the games are hard. A little nostalgia never hurt anyone. Instead of letting the downvotes do the "voting" you had to outline why you did it, contributing to the off topic discussion. Thanks for "providing interesting insights to the post at hand." Thanks for making HN a better place.
- badloginagain 11y agoI try my best, even if I don't have the ability to downvote. I'm a scrub!
- alttab 11y agoI was being sarcastic - I'm not certain your comment helped the discussion at all. Welcome to HN, I hope you enjoy your stay as long as I have.
- badloginagain 11y agoI didn't pick up on your sarcasm at all! So lol! Although, if by explaining to the original downvoted poster why he was being downvoted, perhaps the poster will post more constructive comments in the future. Maybe the opposite happened, and I merely contributed to an off-comment thread and dragging the OP and the HN community in general down with me. I don't have the metrics, so no one can tell for sure, which means I'll defend with viscous hostility the belief that I am right. Hurray internet!
