could you provide some constructive criticism? I am trying to develop my sense of humor
I took an improv class years ago and one of the core tenets of improv is that you should always do things that support someone else's improv rather than detract from it, even if you don't understand it or see where it's going. In turn then they will support you.
I think good humor is similar...it works better when it's supportive and the receiver feels "in" the joke and can participate in it.
Posting as if you don't like video games in a thread about video games goes against this. It makes the reader feel "out" rather than "in".
Hopefully that makes sense I'm not a comedy expert
I appreciate this, thank you! Your framing of this bit as a rejection of someone's interests and belonging resonates for me. I think I will retire this bit now.
Yes, and?
No. But...
I dont understand
Not funny, bring pig poop balls back
i mean.. i kinda don't really like video games that much anymore but they've been so engrained into my daily routine for so many years that it's pretty much autopilot for me to fire one up
