Well, playing a piece composed by a right wing nationalist asshole is certainly on brand for all the other people with problematic behaviors and statements the Japanese Olympic organizing committee just glossed over.

I was bullied as a child by people mocking me and physically intimidating me. Forcing someone to literally eat shit and masturbate in front of people to laugh at them, and then be unapologetic about it years later, is beyond bullying and is abusive sociopath behavior.

So basically, all of the PC Master Race idiots with hard-ons right now are wasting their time because not only are their precious GPUs are safe, but these CPUs are specifically designed to use less electricity?

Actually, a most of the machines shown appear to be of a type that is highly specific to mining (ASICs), and thus could be used for nothing else more useful.

...who hurt you?

I didn’t say we would be providing them with spacesuits

Dude, the invincibility mode isn’t mandatory. It’s there for people who really just can’t get past a point, but still want to enjoy what comes after. Who the hell are you to tell them that desire to have fun complete the game they’ve paid for and invested time into just means “they’re salty they can’t beat it on hard…

You wrote five angry paragraphs about this article, and unlike him you’re not getting paid to write about this stuff. I don’t think he’s the one having “emotional outburtsts,” bro.

“No respectable journalist would degrade themselves to that point just to clap back at some trolls. As a reader, I’d prefer if the writers didn’t use the platform for emotional outbursts.”

Have you been a respectable journalist? Do you have a degree in journalism? I do, and I say you’re full of it. Journalism is about…

“No respectable journalist would degrade themselves to that point just to clap back at some trolls.”

... you didn’t actually read the article, did you? At least, not past the beginning. Regardless of that, how does having easier modes of control or methods to move through the narrative impact the original difficulty? Answer; it doesn’t. It just provides more options for people that may not have time or, literally,…

You obviously missed the point, try hard.

I dunno. Kinda seems like you may be the sort of asshole that the author is writing about and are struggling not to take it personally with your passive aggressive response to it.

Its pixels on a screen, not an olympic sport. Its not a 'challenge' you 'rise to', it something you do for fun and you aren't a more valuable person for having to work harder at it. 

So go play your freaking game, and leave everybody else alone. K?

I’m waiting on ‘parent mode’ where games recognize you’ve only been able to play for twenty minute stretches once a week and gives a brief refresher of the plot and controls.

OMG yes. But also a toggle for "There's a 6yo literally climbing on me while I'm playing."

The BEST part is that the same nerds crying about how “Game Journalists can’t play games” all cite the exact same like, *four* examples and that’s it. Every time. It’s all they have.
