Yep. That’s pretty much what this is about.

According to the article you linked to:

You’re reviewing the tactical situation, and not the big picture.

I suppose you also think we were ‘censoring’ the Nazi’s when we went to war and put them in the dirt with the help of our allies?

I don’t actually have anything to say. This just seemed like a great place to post this video.

1000 cool points goes to real heroine of this gallery: The Landlady

“I’m agnostic. Show me how you think you can get there,”

This right here.

Before the Souls games came along and practically created an entire genre based almost exclusively on their difficulty curve, the entire series would have been considered a generic fantasy action adventure game. The games in the series have some magnificent moments, but they aren’t narrative masterpieces, and have a…

And I appreciate your engaging with me. Stay curious and passionate about your beliefs.

The point of Getting Over It is the fact that it’s hard. The creator even talks about why the difficulty gives the game meaning in the game and makes the pile of trash you’re climbing “real” by virtue of your struggle. The message and purpose of that game would be rendered meaningless if there was an easy mode, and I…

It’s their calculation to make though, and adding an easy mode isn’t remotely like having a teacher walk you through it, because you could have a teacher walk you through the game. People do it all the time in fact, they follow wikis and walkthroughs.

But Tolstoy wasn’t the one who wrote the easier versions, nor would he be expected to. Those easier versions exists because other authors effectively “modded” the original book, and especially as the Souls games age, I think people will do that for them too. From Software might even decide to do it themselves.

From software has carved out a niche in the larger gaming community. The market is largely saturated, and they’ve defined an entire genre by pushing the that their games are ‘hard’. By making their games intentionally difficult, they create a cultural cache that has a measurable value. If they added an easy mode, it…

Someone else put really well in another thread: changing difficulty isn’t about accessibility. It’s not the same as converting a book to braille, for example. What Joshua is asking for, is the equivalent of asking for an “easier” version of a difficult book, like War and Peace or Ulysses. The authors of those works cou…

First, point of fact: at no point in your conversation with me did you cite “Critique of the Gotha Program” or “The State and Revolution”. Maybe you’re talking about a conversation with someone else? Because you can even do a google page search and the above post is the only point at which the sources have been…

My point about the CT, and about this conversation in general, is that I keep citing sources, and you just keep citing personal experience (which contradicts my own experiences) and anecdotes, which are not verifiable. In addition, instead of citing sources, you also continue to fall back on attacking my citations…

Yeah, no. I don’t do conspiracy theories.

You’re waaaaaay off base regarding Democratic Socialism. First of all, actually read the DSAs mission statement: https://www.dsausa.org/about-us/what-is-democratic-socialism/

To be fair, lots of Democrats make this mistake too. Socialism isn’t communism, but communism is the goal of socialism (which is, of course, a good thing).
