In a sense, this conversation ended a few days ago, but I’ve a very personal reason for wishing to comment further. As noted, ARay was not addressing your daughter. I would like to, but I promise it is not in a negative light, and I hope it will further help you understand the points she was making.

Since I was old…

The “lampshaded” reference you’re making to his plumbing history was related to an official profile, on an official website, officially declaring that he was a plumber in the past. It’s very official, is what I’m getting at. Considering, while he isn’t one anymore, it makes absolutely clear that he was one in the…

You shouldn’t need to consider that just your headcanon. I don’t know why people keep implying that Mario being a plumber from New York is not his reality. Miyamoto’s said it in interviews, and it was separate of his stating that the Mario characters are like actors in an endless series of stage plays. It’s bizarre to…

While acknowledging the point that was made, I hope you are reconsidering your stance on minimum wage jobs being for teenagers as well. This, too, is a stigma that developed alongside your prior belief (that minimum wages should not be livable wages).

Personally, it bothers me greatly when people say that those working…

You say that like Ladybeard is a bad thing.

I mean, I may be subscribed to his YouTube channels, and I may have many pictures of him on my computer, and I might have some of them as my wallpaper, and... I’m not biased or anything, you know?

I would not be so sad. Consider: though this video is but twenty-three minutes long, it notes the nine years of community work that brought the speed runs to this point. For that whole time, people have been continuously playing this game (which was designed for this sort of optimization in the first place), sharing…

I wouldn’t say that I get that impression from reading your original post nor your others in this thread, and I don’t seem to be the only one. In any case, at least you’ve clarified.

I do have a tendency to immediately react to such statements about the “quality” of old games, but I should be more numb to them by now;…

Other people have essentially already responded to you to say this, but none of them appear to have laid it out this clearly:

You... do realize that the things mentioned in this article are literally due to bugs, right? Things the developer could not finish fixing in time? As in, “buggy and unfinished” things?

I say…

I did believe that, earlier in the thread, you were digging a grave for yourself. Through responding, especially with something like this, I feel you’ve merely dug it deeper.

Perhaps you are very close to and/or work with children who have down syndrome or low-functioning autism, but the former usually do learn and…

No Gitaroo Man, no sale.

Queer woman, reporting in! Newsflash: Sarah Connor is also hot (yes, even big hair Sarah, though I vastly prefer “Terminator 2's,” because everyone does). If we’ll go back to “Aliens,” Ripley is scorchin’ too, because of course she is. Conclusion: His points make no sense and he is therefore wrong.

Addendum: You don’t…

Yes, I agree. Well, not on the “wing flapping” part... I think that would be kind of silly, as flapping isn’t what gives her lift and thrust; the angelic look is aesthetic. Would be hilarious to see them going wild like a hummingbird’s wings... Regardless, the OP also shared a GIF in their recent response which…

This looks fine to me. She moves like a standard player character would, but without being bound to the ground. That means that anyone using her can be tactical about their advancement, just as you would be on two feet. The immediate response time also separates her movement from Pharah’s predictable momentum.

With…

You are repeating this all over the thread, but it neglects something extremely important: her flight isn’t necessarily going to be the same as Pharah’s (skyward). It will probably be as it is now (whatever direction she chooses to go in). This doesn’t mean she is going to be up in the air and extremely vulnerable as…

On the other hand, I thought it was a brilliant idea, and may consider doing something similar myself. Video games are what brought my partner and I together, and they are still a significant part of our lives today. We have been having difficulty deciding where we wanted to do such a thing, and this or a barcade is…

What I truly appreciated about this short is how she operated as if everything were normal, having not a clue as to the disaster that awaited her—and then how she continued to operate after reality hit. It is a realistic example of how we never assume the worst, but how, ideally, even when it hits, we can go on.

You may be that one, though! Then you’ll be in the future! Wiiith no one you know and possibly nothing to eat and maybe no money but, FUTURE!

Truthfully, I am surprised that you did not call this out for being what it most likely is: a deliberate knock-off of “The Last Guardian.” The developer, Maximum Games, has a history of making knock-offs (e.g., the “Junior Brain Trainer” series, a copy of “Brain Age;” numerous puzzler copycats, like their “Jewel Link”…

This hardly matters, as anyone who explicitly wants to eat healthy but who does not want to pay the premium attached to the currently fad-tastic quinoa is likely educated enough to understand that brown rice is a good option.

This and, for political reasons, I am as much against quinoa being a boutique food product as…

Same. Sweat buds.
