“I don’t think civility politics works when I’m engaging with people who don’t even view me as human,” she told the Washington Post earlier this year. “

“Clickbait” is when the premise of the headline is not reflected in the content of the article. This headline is talking about how the writer feels their enjoyment of the game was dininised by a mechanic of the game. The body and text of the article explains that premise in furthet detail. This isn’t clickbait. This…

Well this isn’t a review. The actual review (helpfully labled “review”) was quite glowing.

This isn’t a review, its an opinion piece. The actual review (helpfully labeled "REVIEW") is quite glowing!

These comments are *insane*!  It's such an incredibly mild criticism and people are reacting like the author killed a real live cat in front of them.

If someone didn’t like an aspect of a game, are they just...not supposed to talk about it? Do we now want games writers to HIDE that they didn’t like aspects of a game? I’m confused by the premise of your problem as well as the apparent severity of it.

Is it really clickbait if the headline reflects the content of the article, and said content is what the writer feels? Seems less “clickbait” and more just you not liking the opinion expressed within.

I would simply choose not to be dissuaded.

Do people want Nintendo Directs? Usually those have Pokemon announcements in them, and NO ONE hates new Pokemon stuff more than Pokemon fans.

Is this the Zoomer version of “skip the entire article, only read the score and make value judgement off it?” You shouldn’t do that, if so.

You don’t actually get a “You Died” screen though when the Scion kills you. You DO get one if you beat the scion and then fall off the cliff afterwards so technically losing the scion and washing ashore isn’t a death whereas beating him is.  

The only thing major companies like Nintendo/Platinum are concerned about is the Profit Motive. It’s what basically fuels almost every single capitalist corporate decision. If, for example, Nintendo believed that exposure to the game through influencers would increase sales, but also recognized that influencers might…

Oh! My mistake. So the devs including it as part of their designed doc is perfectly reasonable, and anyone who chooses to use it is is engaging in a valid play and experience.

It’s the fact that the option even *exists* that gets them riled up. Never mind that a thing has totally optional ways of play that MIGHT make it appealing enough for a broader audience to enjoy...the mere fact that other audiences are even considered during development is what upsets them. Someone, somewhere will use…

Since the USA doesn’t actually have a REAL Left Wing party, our Liberals are—globally speaking—right-leaning centrists so it makes sense to me.  ;)

Yeah, that too.  

Some context for confused non-Americans reading this.

In America, our ability to afford doctors is tied up to our employers (should you be fortunate enough to be employed) and even then, most employers choose the cheapest available care. We’re talking no vision, no dental, specific doctors that are “out of network”…

Good luck, everyone!

Big “some of us may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” energy in the comments.

You guys are gonna make him cry for the fifth time today.
