It amases me how unreadable text in fixed pixel displays even pass certification.

Eh, I can’t read anything undocked because the text is small as shit. Eh...

Because this is an obvious use case that they should have anticipated. They put on a massive sale with large numbers of discounts, people coming in and gobbling a bunch of them up is a logical thing to account for.

It's called "news". It's silly to choose to interpret it as hate. 

What hate is in that headline? As the article says, their is a massive sale on at Epic and could potentially get a ton of people get their accounts blocked if they buy a certain number of games. It’s better to warn people about that issue with reporting like this.

A nation state literally lodged a formal diplomatic complaint against its depiction in this game.

I’m sure the shitty jingoism will still be present in full force, though.

We can talk about difficult as an aesthetic choice all we want and I’m down for that discussion (failure and death are big things for FromSoft games) but easy is relative and I place my trust in designers to build these modes such that the particularities they want to stress still exist.. If combat cadence is a design…

Add an easy mode and he won’t have to settle for watching someone else have fun, friendo. And the good news is that you don’t lose anything in the process either.

That *is* harsh though because you’re all but asking players with disabilities to go elsewhere. In this example, an easy mode or even a series of toggles that allow players to customize game experiences is about allowing them to participate in that experience. It’s inclusive, and not in the dime-store way that word is…

Yeah, but this is why I find competitive Smash boring. The items and stuff are in there for a reason, and I find them to be quite fun. There are an infinite number of other fighting games out there that don’t have these items. 

Literally every other competitive esport in existence manages fine with regular monitors.

So his two complaints are:

This is the game whose competitive scene consists entirely of players insisting on only using extremely-specific 15-year-old controllers and CRT tvs, right? Yeah, I’m sure they’ve got quite a few strongly-held thoughts on what are and are not “acceptable” ways to play. Meanwhile it seems like the rest of the fighting…

Items are random

You sure typed some words.

“We have a vision to be the World’s Greatest Games Company,” he wrote.

Gotta love that business double speak. I’m amazed they didn’t spin the whole thing as a positive and say “we are proud to announce we have cut unnecessary expenditures in our salary costs.”

This is a difficult day. The changes we’re making today will impact about 350 roles in our 9,000-person company

And yet, executives gives themselves raises and bonuses.
