The Culture: The Avalanche Has Begun

(Following from yesterday's post.)

I said that the Preference Cascade had hit, and the naysayers are trying to set up fallback positions, and that's come to pass.

It's amazing to see people start to see the proof, accept it for what it is, and change their behavior accordingly.

As the word gets around, more people are going to see that Jeffro is right--that the Bros are right--and decide that they want this for themselves. Younger gamers and those playing in person are taking to this far more readily than the old-timers whose entire self-worth is tied up in maintaining the illusion that this is not the way it's meant to be done.

Gelantinous Rube is already applying the concepts to Current Game, meaning that it's only a matter of time before Current Game Enjoyers get to run right into this and face the facts themselves.

You can bet that more people will start showing others how to do this with games other than Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition as happenings accelerate and naysayers find their audience evaporating under the deluge of receipts.

You can see the fallbacks starting to crack and crumble already.

As the word spreads, each one will collapse in turn. There is no stopping the Preference Cascade now. I'll let a giant off-brand muppet from the '90s explain.

You're not stopping this.
