"Hi Seth, after watching your review where you thoroughly explained why you didn't care for this game and said it wasn't your jam, I bought it and didn't care for it. I blame you for recommending it." This is a weirdly common message I get and I'm never sure how to respond.
@SSkorkowsky Odd. However, my group now has played Call if Cthulu and Travaller because of your reviews. And I worked the burned guard house into a Pathfinder game.
@SSkorkowsky Yup. Seems like anything short of a Doug Walker / AVGN meltdown is taken as at least a tacit endorsement these days.
@SSkorkowsky "It's not my cup of tea but if you like x, y, or z, it may be yours" is not really a strong rec, just an observation, consumer pal
@SSkorkowsky the correct response is "thanks for watching"
@SSkorkowsky Let's be honest, if Jack doesn't come right out with a negative review, people will find a way to blame you.
@SSkorkowsky Don't, you can't win anything there
