I still believe that her old ult should have been altered to give proportional health back to dead players. Resurrecting one player would restore them to 100% health; two players to 50%; three to 33%; four to 25%; and five to 20%. The old ult was masterful when you used it earlier on in a team-fight but too many…

At this point it would be like adding a whole new character. If you gave old Symmetra a new skin and put her back in, it would be like another character from her story joined the game. I’m still miffed that they changed her because the main complaint - that you didn’t have to aim - was true of Reinhardt and Winston,…

You mean an artist photoshopped a still image without any oversight or pressure or deadlines instead of having to work as a one of a team of many to digitally animate an entire film.

I think the ultimate goal might be to just call out athletes for this stuff and maintain a level of understanding that they can be massive shitheads. Athletes since the beginning, and even typical people whose posting history you know nothing of, have done bad things or believed dumb shit.

It’s not a mode that can always be so easily applied to games. It’s called Ironman Mode in XCOM and it works brilliantly for many reasons. The game is repetitive and really is about losing soldiers, not the whole campaign, but that can happen too. Since the missions are all similar in practice, it’s just as easy to…

And again, you’re missing the point

The main focus isn’t that the story was ruined, passively, but that a man was actively trying to ruin it. That’s an impersonal, interpersonal affront. It says that you want to disrupt people’s enjoyment, and it’s especially egregious when it’s something people really want to enjoy something that “doesn’t matter”. That…

Great article. The way I now always approach this topic (automation, technology, et cetera) is by focusing on cognitive demand and the actual skill involve. Not just a general “skill” or ability, but really time to master something. We have this idea that technology’s increases mean we’re collectively getting better,…

The claim that second-person pronouns changed for egalitarian reasons is stated hypothesized but other cultures, with even more egalitarian attitudes, still maintain their usage. It also doesn’t account for how some dialects have taken to supplanting it with forms like y’all, which are used as the old you and you is…

I’ve already apologized twice now to the only group for whom my comparison would constitute an insult, and it would be absurd to apologize for nearly paying you a compliment.

Is it quadrupling down then? No one’s ever gotten this far. Coupling an apology with the same-but-reworded insult isn’t an apology, but obviously you know that. But if an apology or simply retraction is too much, that sucks for you (or mostly those who know you). But the more it’s addressed here, the more you’ll think…

Doubling Tripling down on ableist remarks at this point. That’s rough, but a clear sign that you’re grappling with it even when you leave your screen. I get it. It’s horrible to say. The fact it’s too big for you address says a lot though. Especially when the thing you think is wrong isn’t even a comma splice.

Are you so ashamed of your ableist remark and inability to stay on topic that you’re starting to Gish Gallop?

This was literally an April Fool’s joke just 2 weeks ago.

I’ve learned it but it isn’t automatic or effortless. And things can be tough if you don’t encounter them a lot - just like Latinx - because it isn’t used as much as you purport. Especially in actual Spanish-speaking countries, which is the most ironic part about this. You’ve encountered far more words than you can…

more grammatically fluent

What an awkward, non-response

What an awkward, non-response to something I was very clear about. Say you don’t like what I wrote - just don’t feel the need to make up what we can go back and read verbatim.

I’ve argued plenty about Sekiro’s difficult on Reddit and tried to change someone’s mind on including an easy mode. I was persuaded by this article to consider that people with disabilities might get something more out of an easier or adjusted mode. I’m even connecting this to mods, which I typically don’t like. I…

No, I’m just allowed to care about things you don’t.
