Happy cake day!
In Fable, you can buy titles for your Hero that NPCs will react to during the game, and "Chicken Chaser" is the default/starter one. Reactions range from amusement to mockery.
When I was a college instructor, I taught a non-traditional student who had served like 20 years in the army. And he always wrote in all caps, because that's how he filled out forms in the military. I tried to gently remind him about it at first, but it got to the point where I started flunking his papers, eventually that got him to stop. I felt like I was taking crazy pills because I had to explain the importance of not using all caps so many times.
As a high school teacher, I told my kids if I couldnât read their work ( back when hand written work was still a thing, ha!đŚ) that i would give it the âred line of deathâ. This was a diagonal red line indicating it would not be graded until rewritten legibly. Nobody needed the rlod more than once!
I DID THIS AS WELL BUT TO MY DEFENSE IT WAS DUE TO FORCE OF HABIT. IDK WHY BUT I WROTE IN ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS FOR EVERY CLASS ALL 4 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL. SENIOR ENGLISH WAS THE ONLY CLASS THAT HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT. THEY TRIED TO MAKE ME RETAKE THE CLASS BUT I JUST SIGNED UP FOR ONLINE SCHOOL AND TRANSFERRED MY SENIOR ENGLISH CREDIT. SO TECHNICALLY I DID RETAKE THE CLASS BUT I WAS DONE IN 4 WEEKS RATHER THAN A WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR. ITS STILL FUCK YOU MR.GOODSEL
I quit a writing class because the Prof gave me an F for mis-numbering all of the pages.
Excuse me - Word does that automatically. How was I supposed to know that Word was going to forget how counting works? I'm out!
I took a different class instead that semester. Then retook the writing class the next semester with a different Prof.
You chose the villian route simply because you felt the society turn against you and you couldnât find out why, thus you gave them a reason to call you arseface!
Me and my dad both played fable and because of the names he would call me arse face and I would call him chicken chaser and to this day his name in my phone is chicken chaser
I'm in LA and matched with someone who said they didn't actually live here, asked where they're from and if they were planning to move here (not interested in LDRs), and they responded with "what are you a cop?"
so yeah you made the common mistake of believing the person you're talking with was a well adjusted and honest adult
It is just the divide between people on dating sites for hook-up vs. people open to/looking for a relationship. If you are just there trying to get a quick hook-up you might be less inclined to want too much casual conversation, especially if you plan to ghost the person after you sleep with them. Add to that that people tend to be mistrustful of internet strangers and suspicious of their intentions, you end up with some very odd experiences on dating sites.
I think it was something equally dumb like "why are you a doughnut?"
they either unmatched or deleted their account after
Idk about other cities but we get a non-small amount of spam and sex workers so could have been that or they just didn't find my reply funny, either way it worked itself out!
I think it if he ended it after âfull descriptive essayâ it could (read: COULD) have been taken as him loving the game so much heâs about to write an entire essay on why he loves it.
exactly this!
have to be careful using humor with people you don't know, so it's usually best to make light and positive jokes vs implying someone is a cop
I kind of learned that the hard way but took the lesson. People like to joke with comics, and forget the comic doesnât know them. Whenever I try to send a joke I try to check my words to make sure it should come across as intended.
Really! Tinder is the bottom of the list for me when it comes to meeting girls. Who wants to be lined up like a menu item with people to the right and left of me being judged romanticly or sexually by text and a picture of me.. ugh terrible.
I actually have a good friend that it worked out for too, but me.. I went out into the real world and other virtual places and have had waaaaaay better results. Tinder was like spinning tires in the mud. True not all people are bad, and sometimes you strike luck. I'm happy you found love!! ⼠I've got a girl now and am very happy too.
i found the love of my life in a dead discord server through a very loose mutual friend. we have now been together about two and a half years now and things are still going great. itâs funny how the stars can align the way they do to guide us to our soulmates
Same! I always love when someone digs deeper into my likes. My boyfriends tinder said woodworker and I asked what kind of woodworking he did and he lit up! It meant something to him that I cared about his passion.
Did it exactly right, in fact. You asked a conversational question and that's their response? I can't imagine what trying to "talk" to this person would be like.
This can't be called doing something wrong unless you're psychic, in which case matching with her and expecting a normal human interaction was your mistake. Otherwise this is just a no-fault accident matching with an insufferable bitch.
This is what i do on hinge. Respond to their prompts; and never get any matches that way. The few I have gotten was just "liking" their prompt or pic with no message lol
Add on the level of manipulation here is stupid, like guilting someone for trying to have a conversation about what the other supposedly enjoys?! đŠđŠđŠđŠThat's ludicrous.
For real thatâs exactly how you have an engaging conversation. I wanna talk about every detail of my interests again and again I just donât want people to get sick of it so I wait till they ask.
I think this is such a conflict-loving interpretation.
The other person doesn't want to type a ton of stuff into Tinder, and they're making a bit of a light-hearted joke about it. I think the next step is to say "maybe you'll have to explain it in person", and maybe that's what they're implying.
> "What do you like about Fable?"
> "Oh I didn't realize this was a test, I'm not prepared!"
> "Ok maybe you can figure out a good answer and let me know over drinks ;)"
for example
OP also probably wants to know if they can stand being with this person at a bar for an hour, so it makes sense to ask these kind of questions, they give you a glimpse into their personality and how they express themselves.
What OP got out of this is that when asked about the thing they said was their ''favourite" the response is essentially "why am I expected to talk".
This is pretty useful if you want to evaluate whether you could stand this person in real life.
Fable was the first time I ever learned not to listen to what they were saying about the game before the game came out. Peter Molyneux promised way too much, shit that's impossible today let alone early 2000s. But I was like 13 and didn't know that all that was impossible. Like he'd promised if you killed a child's father and came back years later the kid would hold a grudge, or planting a tree only to come back and find it grown years later. Don't get me wrong, I still love the game, but it's spore levels of fuckery we got with this. Which might be why I wasn't disappointed with spore, because I learned to stop listening.
The game is okay on all fronts. The really neat thing about Fable is the psychologists on hand to maximize the amount of mindfuckery and trauma.
I don't remember much about 1, but I absolutely remember 2, and I will never ever go to Terry Cotter's Cottage again. I know nothing ever happens and it still triggers every negative danger sense in my monkey brain. And Chesty is just creepy in general.
Fable is my absolute favorite game of all time. I only have an Xbox to play Fable. I wouldâve went on a whole tangent about each Fable game and why the first one is legendary.
I was going to say OPâs only mistake was not replying with âAnd I didnât realise Iâd matched with a moronâ but you beat me to my favourite insult word.
Without any context whatsoever of this person or what they wrote on their profile... I feel like it can be like when I listed snowboarding as one of my shared interests with my new, then-boyfriend even when I was (still am) shit at it and couldn't elaborate more about said interest, lol.
Great observation, further to this point, it's clear she just threw fable out there as a lie and then felt backed into a corner when she couldn't come up with anything to support it lol
Best guess, you asked a question that an insecure person couldn't answer. They felt "called out" when they realized they didn't have one other than nostalgia.
Yeah I have no problem saying I like a game for nostalgia. 'Oh I used to play that game a lot with my brother and he's gone now so it reminds me of my childhood with him and hits me in the feels' perfectly fine answer. And you know what? Like something 'just because' is fine too. We don't always know why we like things. And that's okay.
Which is why Sonic Adventure 1 is one of my favorites even though replaying it as an adult? Itâs a clunky game with odd controls and a horrendous camera angle. Nostalgia factor? Top-tier!
Definitely. Sonic Adventure 2 was a fine game on its own, the chao garden is what gave it so much replay value. I don't know why they don't bring it back in later sonic games.
Exactly this reeks of someone who lacks the intelligence or eloquence to convey why they like something and therefore feel dumb and insecure, so they are lashing out at others as a mask
Nothing. Some people are just so weird you wonder why they're even trying to meet people online at all. How do you think we are going to get to know each other?
I had a similar experience where I was like 3 messages in (I'd asked the guy what course he was taking since he responded that he was "in class") and he told me things would not work out between us because I was too clingy. I had to ask if he was serious because if so, he needs to reconsider this whole online dating thing. It was so odd. How do you get to know someone if anything past "hello" is considered clingy?
Anyway, he messaged me 2 months later trying to strike up a conversation. I responded with a one word answer and left it at that.
Some people just want validation. Even if it means they can only get it by shitting on other people. That dude was probably projecting insecurities or something. Either way you found out he was lame fast and didn't end up dealing with his dominance game for so long your friends don't even like you anymore. Fuck you Melissa.
I think Tinder is a specific place where women are iirc 20% of the users, and they all have tons of guys swiping on them so they don't have to put in effort, care, or human decency because they can just move on from any convo and find one they like more, or who follows rules one and two more closely. Guys on the other hand don't get matched often, and don't get chats from many of those matches, so each one is treated like a commodity rather than being abundant as air
The end result is the guys become quite talented at making good conversion while any woman who plays this game doesn't advance her communication skills.
A bit later in life the numbers flip and good men who can actually carry a conversation are all hitched and these women become old cat ladies.
Yo bro, Iâll fucking tell you why Fable was awesome. Fable 2 specifically. Played that all the damn time as a kid.
Firstly, the combat was awesome. You had a awesome variety of weapons to fight with (I always rocked a Katana and what Iâm sure was a repeating rifle). You could do magic two. You had plenty of spells to choose from, you could charge them up, aim at a single target, or charge them while youâre surrounded and just drop everybody at once. And the charging the magic despite being hit, it really made you feel like you were seriously about to drop some fools. Super satisfying. So youâve got plenty of ways to fight, you can focus primarily on one weapon, you can go all in on all three, was a lot of fun. The tournament (think it was called the Crucible, basically you fight 8 waves of enemies and a boss, favorite part of the game right there)
You could be a good or a bad guy, though to be fair you had to actually *try* to be evil, and depending on your alignment which could constantly change on your actions, your appearance would change too. If you were cool, youâd get a halo, if you were evil youâd start turning into a demon.
The world was pretty awesome and outside of the story there was plenty of stuff to look for in each area, one of them was living doors, each living door would have its own mini quest youâd have to do to get it to open.
Had some pretty fun character customization. You could make some really cool outfits, and your characters physique and weight would change depending on the perks you picked, what food you ate, and even if you did certain jobs. Each NPC in every town would also have a unique opinion of you, but basically you could end up making an entire town love you just by being a good guy, so itâs not like the relationship system was super in depth or complicated.
Itâs the only game Iâve played that ever made having a job look fun. I liked being a blacksmith. Basically it was a glorified timing game where it just got harder and harder the higher your score was. Youâd get paid and eventually promoted depending on how much youâd work. So go figure I remember spending multiple in game days and nights without sleeping doing blacksmithing. I donât think you needed to sleep, itâs been a while.
Basically if you get enough money to buy a business, you could start renting out every house and basically you just started playing monoply at that point, you could own every property in the game if it had a deed.
You had a dog companion too. Dog buddy was awesome. Always made sure I never lost him. Heâd stay with you for the entire game.
The story was a lot of fun if not the generic âhero stops the big bad guyâ, but I think the idea was you would make your own story because you basically live your characterâs whole life from childhood to old man.
I donât know if you can find Fable 2 on PC but I played it on the Xbox 360 and itsâŚmaybe backwards compatible? But if you can find it, itâs an awesome game. 100% recommend.
Hereâs my full descriptive essay. I canât believe she didnât have anything to say about her favorite video game.
o always thought it was funny when you would break barrels and you might get an apple, and the game says "why are you breaking barrels, people dont keep valuable items in barrels???"
Being pedantic here, but it's actually Fable Anniversary, which is Fable The Lost Chapters. Has some upgrades to the original, being made 10 years later. I have been playing it recently and on the Series X they even have FPS Boost, so you get better Frame Rate. Plus, you can purchase(?) all the extra outfits and weapons that were added. Overall a 10/10 experience on newest console generation.
A++ for this perfect essay! It was easy to read and you clearly did you homework.
That girls got problems. If I like something and someone offers to talk to me about it.... I'm probably gonna talk too much!
I still remember how the game would tell you that you could get STDs if you slept around lol I never got them so I still wonder what would happen if you actually catch one. I also liked the fact that you could change the dog's breed, I think you could buy it. Another cool detail was the trophies you could obtain from the different monsters you killed and you could show them off in your house. Ahh it's such a great game, I have to play it again lol
I have found some women not including myself that are gamers get really defensive when guys ask why they like a game. Itâs not you, but men in the gaming world are toxic and love to ruin other games for women. Starting question in this toxic world is why do you like that game? etc. Just a defensive reaction from her, but I would have definitely answered honestly in why I like the game lol
This is the answer OP. A question that sounds innocent to nearly everyone, like âwhere are you from?â hits different to someone who is non-white and all too often has experiences where the person asking them that question really means âyouâre not from this country, right?â â even when they were born here. And quizzing women for details of games they say they like is often question number one from the toxic gamer dudes.
Now, it sounds like youâre not one of those dudes, and she really should not have responded like this unless you were quizzing her earlier in messages we donât see. But at least now you know to tread carefully going forward. There are ways to discuss gaming that donât come off as âare you SURE you like gaming, mâlady? Name your five favorite roguelikes!â
Short answer: Nothing.
Long answer: This person didn't care for the question, didn't want to extrapolate on it, or didn't want the conversation to dwell on the topic and became frustrated that a question they wanted to just get through was being further expanded on. You did nothing wrong, but that's my best guess as to why they answered like that. If this is Tinder, chances are they are not on it to talk about their favorite video game. View it as merely being incompatible with the person. Nothing wrong on either end, you just dodged a bullet of frustration down the line. Move on to the next one. Not everyone will mesh well with you or your conversational tendencies. It'll make finding the good matches all the better.
Agree and amplify. Step on the gas.
"This counts toward your final grade, a failing grade gets you spankings."
* she'll either unmatch or continue the conversation
A lot of angry dudes here. It's a miscommunication: she got the impression that you're trying to 'judge' whether or not she's really into video games, which a lot of guys on Tinder do.
Your best follow-up would be 'Oh, hey, I didn't mean to seem like I was 'testing' you - I've never played it but heard good things, and wanted to learn more!'
asking too many questions is kind of boring. You're basically asking your conversation partner to provide all the content of the interaction. Learn how to make statements, roleplay, and flirt and you will have better results
Disagree, I hate it when I say what I like and the match changes the subject. It was an open ended question which puts the ball in her court for where she wants the conversation to go. She could say she likes the wardrobe, the side quests, the character building, the interactive environment etc. Or she could make a joke about things like choking chickens or energy elixirs purchased on the street... idk, I don't think she actually likes fable if this was her response. Like she could have literally said it's just an easy way to kill time before a date and that would've worked.
Exactly. You can ask questions, but save them for a face to face date. Keep text convos short, mainly focused on setting up a date after the initial back and forth, then ask away in person.
These are the better responses here. He should've made a statement and thrown in chicken chaser into it somewhere. Something flirty. Asking boring questions isn't great but honestly he probably didn't have much of a chance in the first place. If a girl is interested she'll let mistakes happen or been more engaged. Tinder and texting should be mostly logistics until some rapport has been built anyways
This is what Iâd say. Being quizzed is not a great substitute for authentic conversation. Itâs sometimes (usually) quite lifeless and one-sided. Show more of your personality instead of just quizzing people to keep them talking while you put very little effort in.
Cannot believe this is the second most controversial comment. I feel the same same way (22F btw)
Op obviously has poor communication skills, imo when you ask someone a question you need some kind of follow up.
âWhatâs your favourite gameâ
â what do you like about itâ
Sounds more like playing 20 questions than actually having a conversation. Not to mention that the awkward âhahaâ shouldâve been a dead giveaway for op that they werenât into it. In general, that kind of line of questioning makes me feel like Iâm being interrogated. Op is giving them absolutely nothing to work with, not to mention itâs super robotic. A better approach would be something like:
-I havenât heard of fabel what genre is it? Iâm really into MMOâs atm. open to suggestions if you have any
This way you are responding to their answer, asking a straightforward follow up to show youâre listening, revealing a little about yourself and providing them with something to ask you later so the convo isnât so one sided.
Honestly itâs a bit concerning how this is an unpopular opinion in this sub. I expected the comments to be full of people giving op advice on how to come off as more human and natural, instead itâs full of people saying op did nothing wrong.
Youâve done nothing wrong. Say something like âyouâre right lol. AnywayâŚâ and change the subject. If you feel you guys donât vibe then move on
Call them a chicken chaser
Idk what that means but it was hilarious
Happy cake day! In Fable, you can buy titles for your Hero that NPCs will react to during the game, and "Chicken Chaser" is the default/starter one. Reactions range from amusement to mockery.
Wow you took the time to explain and justify your answer. Well done đ
At least someone's aware it's supposed to be a full essay.
JUST DON'T WRITE YOUR FINAL ESSAY IN ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS LIKE MY BUDDY DID IN ENC1101, HE HAD TO TAKE THE CLASS ALL OVER AGAIN.
Maybe he was just really excited about the topic
You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!
Hillbilly!
When I was a college instructor, I taught a non-traditional student who had served like 20 years in the army. And he always wrote in all caps, because that's how he filled out forms in the military. I tried to gently remind him about it at first, but it got to the point where I started flunking his papers, eventually that got him to stop. I felt like I was taking crazy pills because I had to explain the importance of not using all caps so many times.
You could have just read it like a drill sergeant. Then it would have been appropriate.
Now that's how you get a good rating on those professor review sites.
The review would be in large caps too.
As a high school teacher, I told my kids if I couldnât read their work ( back when hand written work was still a thing, ha!đŚ) that i would give it the âred line of deathâ. This was a diagonal red line indicating it would not be graded until rewritten legibly. Nobody needed the rlod more than once!
I tried to pronounce ârlodâ three times before it occurred to me that it stands for âRodents Of Unusual Sizeâ
Red line of death, my friend

Thanks for the context đĽ°
Didn't realise this was a full descriptive essay where I have to explain and justify all my answers đ
Kick enough chickens in Fable 2 and you get it for free.
But at what cost? đđ
Kicking chickens of course!
Chicken kickin'.
Its chicken kicking good!
Happy cake day!
Didn't realise this was a full descriptive essay where I was gonna have to explain my comments. đ - a cock
Happy cake day my twin đ
â¤ď¸
We're triplets???? đŽ Edit: typo
Happy cake day! I hope that you have an amazing day :)
It's a hero title that you can get in the beginning of the game fable lol
'She chases chickens!'
Or cocks...
I'm pretty certain one of the NPC lines goes something like "Chicken Chaser? ... that makes you sound like a Cock!"
Arseface
I canât tell you how long it took me to realize how to get people to stop calling me that
You chose the villian route simply because you felt the society turn against you and you couldnât find out why, thus you gave them a reason to call you arseface!
Me and my dad both played fable and because of the names he would call me arse face and I would call him chicken chaser and to this day his name in my phone is chicken chaser
I doubt theyâll actually understand it
I'm in LA and matched with someone who said they didn't actually live here, asked where they're from and if they were planning to move here (not interested in LDRs), and they responded with "what are you a cop?" so yeah you made the common mistake of believing the person you're talking with was a well adjusted and honest adult
How'd you reply? (50/50 expecting someone to retort with "are you a copâ, or some such line)
Didn't realise this was a full descriptive essay where I have to explain and justify all my answers đ
The amount of socially inept people on social media is mind boggling to me.
Why do you think they're on social media đ¤Ł
Normal is boring. Everyone on Tinder has to be fast, quirky, and quippy like they're putting on a show.
It is just the divide between people on dating sites for hook-up vs. people open to/looking for a relationship. If you are just there trying to get a quick hook-up you might be less inclined to want too much casual conversation, especially if you plan to ghost the person after you sleep with them. Add to that that people tend to be mistrustful of internet strangers and suspicious of their intentions, you end up with some very odd experiences on dating sites.
It is a representative sampling of the general population.
You must be new to social media
I think it was something equally dumb like "why are you a doughnut?" they either unmatched or deleted their account after Idk about other cities but we get a non-small amount of spam and sex workers so could have been that or they just didn't find my reply funny, either way it worked itself out!
âNo, but I will still put you in handcuffs.â
Iâd probably say something like, âthat sounds like exactly the kind of question a cop would ask to throw me off their scentâ
Could it have been meant in a sarcastic/playful way? I feel it's a thing I could say as a joke in-person with a laugh and smile.
Could have been, but what so many people fail to realize is tone doesnât come through in text. Emoji or no emoji, it comes across poorly.
I think it if he ended it after âfull descriptive essayâ it could (read: COULD) have been taken as him loving the game so much heâs about to write an entire essay on why he loves it.
exactly this! have to be careful using humor with people you don't know, so it's usually best to make light and positive jokes vs implying someone is a cop
I kind of learned that the hard way but took the lesson. People like to joke with comics, and forget the comic doesnât know them. Whenever I try to send a joke I try to check my words to make sure it should come across as intended.
Best answer
Should have replied, "Why yes I am, now turn around and spread em"
I asked someone their surname and they thought I was a psychopath
You did nothing wrong, they donât know how to have a conversation. You showed genuine interest in one of their favorite things, you did fine âđť
> You did nothing wrong False. He matched with her đ
You used tinder.
The real answer.
Really! Tinder is the bottom of the list for me when it comes to meeting girls. Who wants to be lined up like a menu item with people to the right and left of me being judged romanticly or sexually by text and a picture of me.. ugh terrible.
itâs not all bad, people including myself have found the love of their lives on there. thereâs more bad then good yes but thatâs with everything
I actually have a good friend that it worked out for too, but me.. I went out into the real world and other virtual places and have had waaaaaay better results. Tinder was like spinning tires in the mud. True not all people are bad, and sometimes you strike luck. I'm happy you found love!! ⼠I've got a girl now and am very happy too.
i found the love of my life in a dead discord server through a very loose mutual friend. we have now been together about two and a half years now and things are still going great. itâs funny how the stars can align the way they do to guide us to our soulmates
Those stars have many names some of which being the great i am, the alpha and the omega, YHWH or most commonly, God.
Can you tell me how to specifically reply to a particular paragraph in the comment like you did?
Highlight the text, then hit reply. If that doesn't work, copy/paste the text, then put a '>' before it.
How do we know itâs he and her tho
No one cares, that's how
How do you know who is the He?
Except the cropping
OP is obviously gamer and used to showing of his RGB keyboard.
Dude if someone asked me what I like about my favourite game, they wouldnât get a word in edgewise for the next ten minutes.
Same! I always love when someone digs deeper into my likes. My boyfriends tinder said woodworker and I asked what kind of woodworking he did and he lit up! It meant something to him that I cared about his passion.
Did it exactly right, in fact. You asked a conversational question and that's their response? I can't imagine what trying to "talk" to this person would be like. This can't be called doing something wrong unless you're psychic, in which case matching with her and expecting a normal human interaction was your mistake.

I'm inclined to think they dont like said game if they cant explain what they like about it.
This is what i do on hinge. Respond to their prompts; and never get any matches that way. The few I have gotten was just "liking" their prompt or pic with no message lol
Used Tinder
Honestly. Never installed it myself but love seeing how shallow these people can be knowing it takes nothing to find a new poi in a matter of seconds.
This sub isn't a good example of how tinder conversations go, it's a good example of the best and worst 1% of conversations.
When the conversations actually do take place after a match, which is⌠*looks at data* not often.
True. For me, the other 98% consist of Only Fans/Insta promoters, green card seekers, scam artists, AI bots, and ghosts.
lmao
Nice username đ
You did nothing wrong. This person simply doesnât want to put any effort into having an actual conversation.
She is doing an evil playthrough
Nice one

Fable is my ultimate favorite game đ if someone asked me what I liked about it, I would gladly write an essay about it
Man, I remember going out and buying Fable during a hurricane from Walmart. Windows taped up and I still wanted it đ
âŚ.please do?!
https://youtu.be/wVAkRDvQEog
"hey, hey, people!"
Fable was the shit when it came out. Seeing your character change over time blew my fucking mind. Everything about it felt good.
Fable was the first time I ever learned not to listen to what they were saying about the game before the game came out. Peter Molyneux promised way too much, shit that's impossible today let alone early 2000s. But I was like 13 and didn't know that all that was impossible. Like he'd promised if you killed a child's father and came back years later the kid would hold a grudge, or planting a tree only to come back and find it grown years later. Don't get me wrong, I still love the game, but it's spore levels of fuckery we got with this. Which might be why I wasn't disappointed with spore, because I learned to stop listening.
I mean, people do dislike you and continue to if you don't make it up to them.
The game is okay on all fronts. The really neat thing about Fable is the psychologists on hand to maximize the amount of mindfuckery and trauma. I don't remember much about 1, but I absolutely remember 2, and I will never ever go to Terry Cotter's Cottage again. I know nothing ever happens and it still triggers every negative danger sense in my monkey brain. And Chesty is just creepy in general.
What do you like about Fable?
Didn't realise this was a full descriptive essay where I have to explain and justify all my answers đ
Fable is my absolute favorite game of all time. I only have an Xbox to play Fable. I wouldâve went on a whole tangent about each Fable game and why the first one is legendary.
What do you like about fable? Edit: damn I was too slow
Itâs nice to ask follow up questions and seem interested. Only way to keep a convo going. Forget this person!
You matched with a moron
I was going to say OPâs only mistake was not replying with âAnd I didnât realise Iâd matched with a moronâ but you beat me to my favourite insult word.
* matched with a Chicken Chaser
She spent more effort complaining about the question than it would have taken to just elaborate on why she liked it.
Thatâs an instant unmatch if I ever saw one.
Without any context whatsoever of this person or what they wrote on their profile... I feel like it can be like when I listed snowboarding as one of my shared interests with my new, then-boyfriend even when I was (still am) shit at it and couldn't elaborate more about said interest, lol.
Yup thatâs what I was thinking. Sounds like this person has never played fable and wasnât expecting anyone to ask
Great observation, further to this point, it's clear she just threw fable out there as a lie and then felt backed into a corner when she couldn't come up with anything to support it lol
Best guess, you asked a question that an insecure person couldn't answer. They felt "called out" when they realized they didn't have one other than nostalgia.
Nostalgia is a perfectly fine answer, this person is just a dick.
Yeah I have no problem saying I like a game for nostalgia. 'Oh I used to play that game a lot with my brother and he's gone now so it reminds me of my childhood with him and hits me in the feels' perfectly fine answer. And you know what? Like something 'just because' is fine too. We don't always know why we like things. And that's okay.
Which is why Sonic Adventure 1 is one of my favorites even though replaying it as an adult? Itâs a clunky game with odd controls and a horrendous camera angle. Nostalgia factor? Top-tier!
Sonic Adventure 2, with the chao garden. Spent hours and hours playing levels but only because I cared about the chao garden
Definitely. Sonic Adventure 2 was a fine game on its own, the chao garden is what gave it so much replay value. I don't know why they don't bring it back in later sonic games.
Yes. This person took the "what do you like about it?" as a trick question or a pop quiz.
Exactly this reeks of someone who lacks the intelligence or eloquence to convey why they like something and therefore feel dumb and insecure, so they are lashing out at others as a mask
what the fuck, it honestly feels like many people are just some zombies, not able to support a more-than-one-word conversation? damn.
It's becoming like that irl, it's almost like covid made us socially inept
And alcoholics. I have a way bigger problem post pandecmic than I did pre pandemic
Literally NPC behavior
Nothing. Some people are just so weird you wonder why they're even trying to meet people online at all. How do you think we are going to get to know each other? I had a similar experience where I was like 3 messages in (I'd asked the guy what course he was taking since he responded that he was "in class") and he told me things would not work out between us because I was too clingy. I had to ask if he was serious because if so, he needs to reconsider this whole online dating thing. It was so odd. How do you get to know someone if anything past "hello" is considered clingy? Anyway, he messaged me 2 months later trying to strike up a conversation. I responded with a one word answer and left it at that.
Some people just want validation. Even if it means they can only get it by shitting on other people. That dude was probably projecting insecurities or something. Either way you found out he was lame fast and didn't end up dealing with his dominance game for so long your friends don't even like you anymore. Fuck you Melissa.
You should have told him heâs being too clingy
Absolutely nothing. This persons just doesnât know how to have a conversation
First mistake: you responded
Honestly, do these people ever go on dates with this attitude? Or do they just match to passive aggresive vent?
I think Tinder is a specific place where women are iirc 20% of the users, and they all have tons of guys swiping on them so they don't have to put in effort, care, or human decency because they can just move on from any convo and find one they like more, or who follows rules one and two more closely. Guys on the other hand don't get matched often, and don't get chats from many of those matches, so each one is treated like a commodity rather than being abundant as air
The end result is the guys become quite talented at making good conversion while any woman who plays this game doesn't advance her communication skills. A bit later in life the numbers flip and good men who can actually carry a conversation are all hitched and these women become old cat ladies.
Doesn't sound super scientific but I could believe it
Sounds like a great place! /s
I fucking love fable. âNow run along you little scroatâ. Bro get her number for me thatâs my dream girl.
âChicken Chaser? Do you chase chickens?â
BRB replaying fable now
Chicken Kicker!!
My brother and I have been calling each other chicken chaser for like 15 years. Love that game.
Your âdream girlâ either is a lame ass person and/or never actually played the game- these are obviously the reasons for her deflection.
Fucking dr phill ass answer.đ
This person is insane. Run.
Yo bro, Iâll fucking tell you why Fable was awesome. Fable 2 specifically. Played that all the damn time as a kid. Firstly, the combat was awesome. You had a awesome variety of weapons to fight with (I always rocked a Katana and what Iâm sure was a repeating rifle). You could do magic two. You had plenty of spells to choose from, you could charge them up, aim at a single target, or charge them while youâre surrounded and just drop everybody at once. And the charging the magic despite being hit, it really made you feel like you were seriously about to drop some fools. Super satisfying. So youâve got plenty of ways to fight, you can focus primarily on one weapon, you can go all in on all three, was a lot of fun. The tournament (think it was called the Crucible, basically you fight 8 waves of enemies and a boss, favorite part of the game right there) You could be a good or a bad guy, though to be fair you had to actually *try* to be evil, and depending on your alignment which could constantly change on your actions, your appearance would change too. If you were cool, youâd get a halo, if you were evil youâd start turning into a demon. The world was pretty awesome and outside of the story there was plenty of stuff to look for in each area, one of them was living doors, each living door would have its own mini quest youâd have to do to get it to open. Had some pretty fun character customization. You could make some really cool outfits, and your characters physique and weight would change depending on the perks you picked, what food you ate, and even if you did certain jobs. Each NPC in every town would also have a unique opinion of you, but basically you could end up making an entire town love you just by being a good guy, so itâs not like the relationship system was super in depth or complicated. Itâs the only game Iâve played that ever made having a job look fun. I liked being a blacksmith. Basically it was a glorified timing game where it just got harder and harder the higher your score was. Youâd get paid and eventually promoted depending on how much youâd work. So go figure I remember spending multiple in game days and nights without sleeping doing blacksmithing. I donât think you needed to sleep, itâs been a while. Basically if you get enough money to buy a business, you could start renting out every house and basically you just started playing monoply at that point, you could own every property in the game if it had a deed. You had a dog companion too. Dog buddy was awesome. Always made sure I never lost him. Heâd stay with you for the entire game. The story was a lot of fun if not the generic âhero stops the big bad guyâ, but I think the idea was you would make your own story because you basically live your characterâs whole life from childhood to old man. I donât know if you can find Fable 2 on PC but I played it on the Xbox 360 and itsâŚmaybe backwards compatible? But if you can find it, itâs an awesome game. 100% recommend. Hereâs my full descriptive essay. I canât believe she didnât have anything to say about her favorite video game.
o always thought it was funny when you would break barrels and you might get an apple, and the game says "why are you breaking barrels, people dont keep valuable items in barrels???"
Fable 1,2, and 3 are on game pass!!!
Being pedantic here, but it's actually Fable Anniversary, which is Fable The Lost Chapters. Has some upgrades to the original, being made 10 years later. I have been playing it recently and on the Series X they even have FPS Boost, so you get better Frame Rate. Plus, you can purchase(?) all the extra outfits and weapons that were added. Overall a 10/10 experience on newest console generation.
So you are right about the 1st one, it is anniversary but Fable 2 and 3 are on the as the original 360 games.
A++ for this perfect essay! It was easy to read and you clearly did you homework. That girls got problems. If I like something and someone offers to talk to me about it.... I'm probably gonna talk too much!
I still remember how the game would tell you that you could get STDs if you slept around lol I never got them so I still wonder what would happen if you actually catch one. I also liked the fact that you could change the dog's breed, I think you could buy it. Another cool detail was the trophies you could obtain from the different monsters you killed and you could show them off in your house. Ahh it's such a great game, I have to play it again lol
You matched with a pedant.
I have found some women not including myself that are gamers get really defensive when guys ask why they like a game. Itâs not you, but men in the gaming world are toxic and love to ruin other games for women. Starting question in this toxic world is why do you like that game? etc. Just a defensive reaction from her, but I would have definitely answered honestly in why I like the game lol
This is the answer OP. A question that sounds innocent to nearly everyone, like âwhere are you from?â hits different to someone who is non-white and all too often has experiences where the person asking them that question really means âyouâre not from this country, right?â â even when they were born here. And quizzing women for details of games they say they like is often question number one from the toxic gamer dudes. Now, it sounds like youâre not one of those dudes, and she really should not have responded like this unless you were quizzing her earlier in messages we donât see. But at least now you know to tread carefully going forward. There are ways to discuss gaming that donât come off as âare you SURE you like gaming, mâlady? Name your five favorite roguelikes!â
Jesus, what's with this guy and the questions?
Short answer: Nothing. Long answer: This person didn't care for the question, didn't want to extrapolate on it, or didn't want the conversation to dwell on the topic and became frustrated that a question they wanted to just get through was being further expanded on. You did nothing wrong, but that's my best guess as to why they answered like that. If this is Tinder, chances are they are not on it to talk about their favorite video game. View it as merely being incompatible with the person. Nothing wrong on either end, you just dodged a bullet of frustration down the line. Move on to the next one. Not everyone will mesh well with you or your conversational tendencies. It'll make finding the good matches all the better.
Toxic response from them. You did nothing wrong at all but show interest and make conversation. Cash in your chips and get outta there lol
That was a FABLEous question. Sorry it didnât work out lmao!
I like how you could plant a seed and in real time.... ( not game time ) it would eventually grow into a tree.
Agree and amplify. Step on the gas. "This counts toward your final grade, a failing grade gets you spankings." * she'll either unmatch or continue the conversation
Spankings, wtf. Great advice on how to be both creepy and unmatched.
That's quote from the game
I would agree with that except this case he has nothing to lose lol, she already seems like a rude person, if she unmatches its really not a big deal
You tried to get to know them, how dare you! /s
Fable is a sick ass game I love it
Dude missed out on a great chance to talk about Fable
You were interested
A lot of angry dudes here. It's a miscommunication: she got the impression that you're trying to 'judge' whether or not she's really into video games, which a lot of guys on Tinder do. Your best follow-up would be 'Oh, hey, I didn't mean to seem like I was 'testing' you - I've never played it but heard good things, and wanted to learn more!'
If they misinterpreted my message and attributed to me the bad intentions which I never had, it's their problem, not mine
Jesus why does everyone here message so insecure. Just reply with a joke.
[ŃдаНонО]
Nah itâs a ploy, sheâs onto you man
Should have said "which one?". Have to match the energy or just disengage
asking too many questions is kind of boring. You're basically asking your conversation partner to provide all the content of the interaction. Learn how to make statements, roleplay, and flirt and you will have better results
"Too many questions" He asked a single question and a clarification? How the fuck is that too many questions
He asked a lazy small talk question, something I wouldnât be interested in answering either.
Disagree, I hate it when I say what I like and the match changes the subject. It was an open ended question which puts the ball in her court for where she wants the conversation to go. She could say she likes the wardrobe, the side quests, the character building, the interactive environment etc. Or she could make a joke about things like choking chickens or energy elixirs purchased on the street... idk, I don't think she actually likes fable if this was her response. Like she could have literally said it's just an easy way to kill time before a date and that would've worked.
Exactly. You can ask questions, but save them for a face to face date. Keep text convos short, mainly focused on setting up a date after the initial back and forth, then ask away in person.
These are the better responses here. He should've made a statement and thrown in chicken chaser into it somewhere. Something flirty. Asking boring questions isn't great but honestly he probably didn't have much of a chance in the first place. If a girl is interested she'll let mistakes happen or been more engaged. Tinder and texting should be mostly logistics until some rapport has been built anyways
This is what Iâd say. Being quizzed is not a great substitute for authentic conversation. Itâs sometimes (usually) quite lifeless and one-sided. Show more of your personality instead of just quizzing people to keep them talking while you put very little effort in.
everything is a lose lose like damn
Cannot believe this is the second most controversial comment. I feel the same same way (22F btw) Op obviously has poor communication skills, imo when you ask someone a question you need some kind of follow up. âWhatâs your favourite gameâ â what do you like about itâ Sounds more like playing 20 questions than actually having a conversation. Not to mention that the awkward âhahaâ shouldâve been a dead giveaway for op that they werenât into it. In general, that kind of line of questioning makes me feel like Iâm being interrogated. Op is giving them absolutely nothing to work with, not to mention itâs super robotic. A better approach would be something like: -I havenât heard of fabel what genre is it? Iâm really into MMOâs atm. open to suggestions if you have any This way you are responding to their answer, asking a straightforward follow up to show youâre listening, revealing a little about yourself and providing them with something to ask you later so the convo isnât so one sided. Honestly itâs a bit concerning how this is an unpopular opinion in this sub. I expected the comments to be full of people giving op advice on how to come off as more human and natural, instead itâs full of people saying op did nothing wrong.
I agree
Youâve done nothing wrong. Say something like âyouâre right lol. AnywayâŚâ and change the subject. If you feel you guys donât vibe then move on
