The one key keyboard is great because it looks so well produced. All the extra options lmao.

“Immersion” gamers are possibly the worst kind of gamer besides, like, incels. Their arguments always boil down to “anything that makes me realize I’m not reality’s protagonist is inherently bad”

Condescension. That’s the word. That’s the intent they were trying to impart.

Don’t you think a simple pause might help all that out? Why fight against it? You used a lot of words to basically say “life is more convenientwith a pause but i instead want to defend this gaming decision to not include it anyway “

Leading with “sweetheart” made it sound like you were going somewhere, but then you immediately turned around and decided to go nowhere.

Oh, wow. It’s like reading a would-be manifesto lol.

Right!? It’s like the personification of classic D-list Reddit; not the actual dregs, because hoo boy do the dregs get into some bigoted shit, but just a barrage of bafflingly bad opinions spoken with the smugness of a seventh grader.

Wow, and I thought this person just had bad takes on baseline, solved, quality of life features in video games. Man, does this well go deep.

Interesting hill to die on, but okay.

Me personally? A few examples:

Even if you truly arent trying to troll (which is super hard to believe now) you have to be smart enough to realize that if this many people are of this opinion of your posts that maybe you are somewhat in the wrong and are portraying your opinion poorly. If you are being sincere and arent a purposeful troll, you…

Yes, I have very young children. I simply cannot play unpausable games. 

“Actually has a concept of adult responsibilities = didn’t grow up around arcades”. Flawless math.

I had a phone call during a boss fight. I had to take the call. It would have been nice to pause.

Real world interruptions often take precedence over a videogame, because they’re real and it’s a fucking videogame. Even on the very low end of how “important” those interruptions might be, the delivery person isn’t going to wait 3 minutes for you to answer the door.

This is sadly common from the ‘more hardcore than you’ crowd. People on Twitter are VERY ANGRY that a way to pause has been found and that people might ‘cheat’ at the game this way.

There’s no reply I can make that would be more effective than just asking readers to click your username and grab some popcorn. Just when you think you’ve had enough toxic fanboyism, BAM here come the pro-NFT posts.

I see. So, instead of a pause button, you do all these convoluted stuff that are easily solved by pressing a single button, a thing video games have been doing ever since they started existing.

Just de-grayed someone who said that in real life enemies wouldn’t let you pause so ACTUALLY it makes it more realistic and good because games are ART and ART isn’t about your CONVENIENCE.

I absolutely love these guys. It’s the “bad game design is good actually” renaissance!
