Oh, im not talking about whats me, but rather if the diffculty spread of a mapset as example is apporative, if you have a easy easy, a easy normal, and hard hard and a bullshit insane people are going to comment on it and hopefully tell me their ideas how i can make the spread and curve better. Im certainly not perfect so im asking others what they think so more work is getting done, and the end product improved.Aurani wrote:
So, you're telling me that other people know what is or isn't too steep for you? I call bullshit on that. No one except for you knows what is and isn't hard - WITH the exception of you doing so badly that other people have to facepalm and tell you that you need to tone it down a little bit - but you have to be truly mongrelic to not notice it yourself.Granger wrote:
Like... when a bunch of people tells you that the curve seems a bit too steep, theres a chance it is really too steep even if they are not veterans in idk... something something curves...
Wait a sec. Im asking if its helpfull, to improve your work. Not to feed your ego or anything. Im not talking about how a person handles negative feedback but rather if the feedback is helpfull to their work.Aurani wrote:
Sure as hell does to me. :pGranger wrote:
Of course, some people prefer praise or other stuff but is it helpfull? I mean, does this person help you by saying "Awesome!"?
You can't tell me that an egocentric person won't benefit from you telling them that they did good, even if that isn't quite the truth. Sure, you'll feed their egocentrism, but that's at least a thousand times more productive than telling them they did something wrong and derailing them completely because of their inability to do exactly what Bird just mentioned above me - resist a defensive impulse and not take it like you're charging them with murder and not giving constructive criticism. Some machines run on Diesel, some run on Gasoline, and you can't possibly put one into the other engine and expect them to run the same.
Im going to give honest feedback, prositive if i like it and negative if i dont, excess sugar coating does not help anyone, of course you should be nice when you give feedback, expecially negative one but dont tell someone they did good when they actually didnt. If something is truly this bad that dropping it and starting anew is a good idea im going to say so but this is rarely the case, its almost always possible to improve something, maybe the person needs encouragement, but encouragement by lieing to them is bad, id rather say "You did this pretty badly, but im sure you can do it better."
Oh who speaks of replacing? I take their feedback and think about it, maybe its really a good idea i just havent seen before or maybe nah, not so much a good idea but the part in question is improvable regardless. Im not going to have them direct what i do, as i said i think about the feedback and from there i conclude what i do next.Aurani wrote:
So, someone else is supposed to replace your own intelligence and ability to conclude what is and isn't a correct move to take? That doesn't sound right at all.Granger wrote:
At the very least it can make you look over the bad parts again thinking how to improve it which may spark a entirely new idea how you could approach it.
I'll give you credit for the latter part of your sentence, as you hit the bullseye there - the ONLY reason you'd want someone else's opinion on anything is because they may have entirely unique ideas that could help you along the road, but don't mix that with them trying to tweak YOUR existing ideas and try to "correct" them by giving some sort of biased shitty constructive feedback.
This, i think, is how one should handle feedback of any kind.
Also yay arguing. <3 I want to do it more often but theres so littlle people who are actually fun to argue with.
