We need to decide on a genre name for Vampire Survivors-like games before a really terrible one sticks (www.pcgamer.com)

Oh sure. It's a pointed jab at asking if people have tried games I enjoy while being a little condescending of a genre I find to be best at filling short moments.

It just doesn't match that comic cause that's not demanding people stop enjoying something they like.

If people can't separate criticism of a genre as not criticism of them I can't help them either.

So you came into a thread talking about the classification of a genre with admittedly the sole purpose of making condescending jabs at people who enjoy said genre, (and notibly not contributing meaningfully to the actual discussion at hand) but you did NOT tell people to stop having fun.
You were just telling them they were having fun wrong.

Glad we cleared that up.

No. Pretty much exactly not that and I see you also suffer the issue.

None of that is correct. And directly against what I just said.

And I contributed a name.

Then you have expressed yourself poorly.

Some of that may come from the fact that you came to a post about "How should we classify X" to complain about how you don't like X, which isn't relevant to the classification and no one cares.

No you immediately took criticism of a genre as a personal attack because of your own issues. You take it as poor communication because of your own interpretation and the pushback I am giving for your misunderstanding of my point.

I have been consistent with saying it's a short term fun game for me and that I find other games to be more rewarding.

Don't blame others for being offended by other peoples opinions. I added to the conversation with an offer of classification of passive horde survivor and an explanation of how I got there.
I'm even having a pleasant conversation about that right next to yours where you have been antagonistic.

I don't even expect anything from you other than to stop insisting I care if you have fun playing a game I only mildly enjoy.
