I think your definition is too arbitrary and your comparisons are inaccurate.

Like I said, we just disagree. I think this use of the word is acceptable because we’re using different definitions. You think going through every section of the game is a requirement for beating — I don’t.
Idk, seems like a fair use of the word beating to me. I guess it depends what you consider the “rules” of the game. In video games, I think it’s fair to call the gameplay code itself the rules of the game, which is why I think this counts — he went from playing the game to being at the end of it. As long as he…
Of course the ruleset is defined by the specific speedrun for the specific game, that’s why it doesn’t make sense to make that comparison in the first place. But since you chose to, I’m pointing out the inconsistency: Sethbling moved to the end of the game once he was already in the game without accessing the menu…
The abstract for the study specifically says:
No you couldn’t, this ruleset starts the timer after the menu screens. If you could glitch your way to the end once you were actually in the game, then it would count under this ruleset.
A Luddite is someone who’s opposed to modern, industrial, or new technology. The fork is millennia old and therefore not modern, industrial, or new. And you have to be opposed or resistant to using it, not just bad at using it — my grandma can’t use Facebook well, but she likes it, so it would be inaccurate to call…
It says “carts” in the article — “paying for carts, courses, and skins”
I honestly don’t know where the “you can’t even hold a door for a woman without being called a sexist anymore” meme comes from. I have literally never encountered anyone who said anything other than “thanks” when I held the door for them, and I took classes at one of the most notoriously feminist colleges in the…
Empire is the best movie, IMO, and I don’t think it’s exactly affirming, inspiring, and celebratory. It undermines the idea that you’ll always win through the power of friendship by making Luke’s attempt to save his friends kind of a disaster.
I mean, there’s artificial gravity on the bomber, so they would have been propelled out by that force even if there was no other propulsion mechanism. Sure, they hit zero g once they’re in space, but as long as the top one is in the gravity field, they’re being pushed downward.
That’s not what Luddite means.
There are about 200,000,000 people in Nigeria, so the number of literate people is about 120,000,000. Plenty enough for there to be many bookstores. Additionally, the literate are more heavily concentrated in cities, so you can find a lot of bookstores there — look up “bookstores in Lagos” to find some.
I feel like it might be a Hulk reference? Like he thinks they were trying to portray him as a rageful monster?? It’s very hard to understand what he was going for
Spyrooooooo
Pretty sure all the people who seriously believe that the internet should be shut down are writing that in the “Letters to the Editor” section of their local newspaper, not in this comment section. Here, it’s just a pessimistic joke.
I don’t know who that is.
Tokenism is USING someone as a token representative. Trump denies accusations of racism by pointing to the handful of black people who support him. That’s tokenism.
