And that's exactly what I and Jonipoon were responding to. Your argument. Joke or not, we're just stating the the fallacy in your argument which again, you admitted was half serious because you were trying to make an adequate point. So why do you keep hiding behind it not being serious and that you were just joking?
Again...Because taking the joke seriously is part of the craft...Will Ferrell doesn't laugh at his own jokes when he's filming even though he knows it's a joke. He plays it straight and sticks to character. The argument itself, was a joke, and there's plenty of times that's either A. Admitted. Or B. Alluded to. But being half serious is the part where, even though I know it's a joke, I stick to it, because that's the fun part. Playing the joke seriously. Responding to the Argument is fun for me. Like, why would I do it if not for a response. The part where I'm confused why Joonipoon is still taking it seriously is when I've already said:
"So to say that wasn't the point of the games title initially, to be literal, I think is just wrong. And when they said RE7 will go back to the series roots, by god they at least weren't lying about that XD "
"Yes, but the "Back to the roots" part of my comment was (I thought) clearly in jest. I said in the beginning I'm only taking my own argument half seriously with this one. "
Before Joonipoon every responded I thought I'd made it clear it was a joke. And then when he DID respond, after I'd already bantered with You and Jen, he came up with the Star Wars analysis. I thought my over the top, annoyingly literal, and incredibly semantic heavy rebuttal would be enough to show I was going over the top for a joke. And Joonipoon still didn't catch on. At that point I was pretty much at a loss. Either keep going with the joke, which is less fun when you find out the party won't catch on that it's a joke, or stop all together. Then you jumped in, and I'm grateful for that because now I can (I assume) adequately explain why certain comments were laid out the way they were.
