Except they’re not “for a certain player”. That is an idea that is entirely made up by the Soulsborne community based on their circlejerking and a single quote by Miyazaki that is at constant screaming odds with the entire breadth of FROM Software’s ouvre.

This game still have the best feeling traversal in a videogame I’ve ever played; even better than Mirror’s Edge.

Imagine someone who likes to read the last chapter of a book first. That’s their call, sure. I’m not mad, I just think they’re not going to enjoy that book as much as I did.

Souls games themselves are built on a certain fundamental elitism. They are designed, in part, to separate those who can play them from those who can not, and therefore, will not. And they are unapologetic about it.

instead of learning what they were doing wrong and improving and then having that feeling of immense satisfaction when you finally win.

You are never going to get a straight answer from people on the other side of this argument—as you saw from the first comment, lol—because what they really mean by shit like “experience the game the way it was intended and designed” is, actually: “experience the game in a way I don’t agree with or that devalues the…

But then, his reasoning for not adding an easy mode doesn’t check out either.

And that’s fine! Latine has been around for longer, and people use it academically just as often—afaik—as Latinx, or other attempts at being gender neutral, like conjugating things with E in place or O/A. My argument is more against people who blanket dismiss the term as “some Millennial American thing,” when it’s…

Gladly

No one is trying to institute it as a necessary option. They’re pushing to make it more acceptable, and adopting it as a way to push the language to be more inclusive.

America Latina to refer to the place, Latino Americano to refer to the group or males of the group. Not that hard, and also specifically why I stuck with the latter as my example.

Bro, I’m Puerto Rican literally shut the hell up

Hence, the major issue. Latin and Hispanic weren’t things most of these cultures wanted to call themselves, in the first place, but colonialism saw that they were all uniformly brushed with the same name.

Except the term was created by people who want it used, as a gender-neutral option for people to use if they want to refer to themselves as such.

The term was created Hispanic activists and writers, and isn’t meant to take away identities that already exist. It’s just a way to try and make room in our language for gender-non-conforming people, the same as almost every other language in the world does by virtue of actually having gender-neutral pronouns.

That’s not what the word is meant to be, at all. It’s just a gender-neutral way of saying you’re from a Hispanic or Latinx culture, ffs.

Latin is gender neutral in English, you twip. In Spanish it’s a gendered word, Latino, like 99% of the rest of the damn language.

Tony Stark literally advocated for government registration of all people who had superpowers—in a world where similar legislation, The Mutant Registration Act, literally led to one of the biggest genocides committed on mutantkind—and then built, along with Reed Richards, an extrajudicial superjail for supervillains…

gee, I wonder why the NYTIMES would benefit from an op-ed like that
