Does literally ***ANYONE*** enjoy repetitive system messages?
Listening to an Audiobook and I get this:
"Johnny threw a grenade into the horde of zombies"
> Grenade did 14 damage to zombie, 11 explosive, 3 piercing. Zombie resists 2 points of damage for a total damage of 12.
> Grenade did 13 damage to zombie, 10 explosive, 3 piercing. Zombie resists 2 points of damage for a total damage of 11
> Grenade did 17 damage to zombie, 14 explosive, 3 piercing. Zombie resists 2 points of damage for a total damage of 15.
> Grenade did 16 damage to zombie, 13 explosive, 3 piercing. Zombie resists 2 points of damage for a total damage of 14
> Grenade did 13 damage to zombie, 11 explosive, 2 piercing. Zombie resists 2 points of damage for a total damage of 11
..
I realize we all have different tastes and preferences so I'm asking you all now, does anyone actually get something about of this insanely repetitive, pointless messaging?
I get that in print it's much less painful because you can easily just skip over the pointless sections but that still begs the question: Why do authors insist on putting this crap in books when the best case scenario is that in the correct format it is relatively easy to ignore?
So, is it just me?
Does somebody out there actually enjoy system messages like this in the story?
