I came over from a long-time lurker reddit account when Apollo shut down. I have really enjoyed my time here so far and I hope to contribute some fun content when I can.

    I spent last month playing Eve Online and had a blast but chose to put it down. Lots of fun to be had but ultimately more time consuming than I want right now.

    I kinda fell into American Truck Simulator for a few days and had a blast. Even got myself a trucker hat and some sunflower seeds to really make it immersive. Great way to relax and have fun, I will definitely be coming back for more.

    Just Monday I dove back into Cyberpunk to finally take on the Phantom Liberty dlc. I haven’t been back since my first play through and they have changed/added so much. This is a muuuuch better game now and I wasn’t one of the people who had issues at launch. Having so much fun being a katana welding, arm rocket firing, net runner with a liberal use of the suicide quickhack. Then I disappear back into the shadows…

    My girlfriend is very excited about House Flippers 2 dropping today lol

    Invincible Ignorance Fallacy maybe?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invincible_ignorance_fallacy

    The invincible ignorance fallacy,[1] also known as argument by pigheadedness,[2] is a deductive fallacy of circularity where the person in question simply refuses to believe the argument, ignoring any evidence given. It is not so much a fallacious tactic in argument as it is a refusal to argue in the proper sense of the word. The method used in this fallacy is either to make assertions with no consideration of objections or to simply dismiss objections by calling them excuses, conjecture, etc. or saying that they are proof of nothing, all without actually demonstrating how the objection fit these terms. It is similar to the ad lapidem fallacy, in which the person rejects all the evidence and logic presented, without providing any evidence or logic that could lead to a different conclusion.

    Red-herring refers to a deliberately misleading clue. Gish gallop might be closer, it’s when you make a bunch of claims at once to overwhelm your opponent without regard to the validity of the claims. It’s not quite willful ignorance either. Hmmm…

    I love pedantic stuff like this so I’m pretty sure I will be thinking about this the rest of the day now… thanks lol
