Reply to comment by TraditionalSell5251 in This game is so beautiful and aesthetic that I have revisit it every couple of years by Wonder-Lad

I be feeling like OPs just expect everybody to "just know," which is extremely frustrating. Something gatekeeper-ish about it. Even if it's someone or something that's seemingly obvious, I don't like holding back info from people who could be new fans. Every sub got OPs like that.

I always figure it's either forgetfulness or just a perspective thing. I grew up thinking some games were way more popular than they were because they were HUGE in my circle when I was a kid. If I figured everybody knew what game I was talking about from a single image I would probably forget to explicitly name the game.

Somethings need to be gatekept.

I disagree. Gatekeeping is like using fandom as an excuse for entitlement of something you probably don't even have authority or ownership of.

I mean, I don't usually share things that I like with other people. It never comes across my mind to, don't want to bother anyone.

That's a bad mentality friend. People like to share your intrests with you.
