Sorry; I forgot to reply to this.

R&CFOREVER, the post was intended as an analogy, and while it is true that going off-topic is against the rules (as it should be), discussions naturally change over time, almost like a game of "Chinese whispers", as it's called in English. Here's an example of what going off-topic usually looks like ("A", "B", and so on are meant to represent people):

A: Isn't the new Omniverse game awesome?

B: Yeah, you're right!

C: Do you know how to the highest score on every level?

D: I like Humungousaur. He's the best alien in all of Ben 10!

Persons A to C are on-topic: the discussion is about the video game, and, while person C is not replying to person A's post, they're still talking about the video game. Person D, on the other hand, is going wildly off-topic. Although Humungousaur appears in the game (at least I think so), their post is clearly not related to the game.
