Next up on Worth Reading: The other team should just fucking let me win when I play baseball.
well this isn’t necessarily a bad point. there are games with great stories and really awful shoehorned fighting sequences. then you also have handicapped/disabled gamers who don’t necessarily have the dexterity to finish a game but would still like to be able to.
optional “cakewalk” modes aren’t that bad of an idea.
aren’t you the guy who got permabanned off an entire community you used to moderate because no one liked you and you eventually tried to DDoS it
what if i want to just see the story of the game and dont want to actually play it? like??
as it is i would never pay for a bioshock game or a fallout game but i am very interested in the story. so i just watch youtube videos of it. they could get money from me if they sold the skip combat mode
i’m a games developer and an avid gamer and i really really think games should let you skip combat
honestly one of my favourite things about la noire was when you failed a sequence twice the game was like “yo do you just wanna skip this bit?” the gaming industry/community has a huge problem with accessibility tbh. like, thank god for standardised control schemes (although bring back full customisation jfc not enough games have that anymore) but fights require time, literacy in both that type of gaming & in the individual game, you need to be able to navigate the system which can be anywhere from slightly difficult to hellish for people with visual/audio processing disorders. and tbh sometimes you just wanna enjoy the story and not get stressed the hell out doing the sAME FIGHT 700 times. it’s why i always put a game on easy/casual when I’m replaying unless i’m specifically going for difficulty based achievements. not to mention SO MANY GAMES have either poorly designed battles or fights that have been shoved in for no reason other than to pad out the game (dxhr & da2 come to mind immediately) that sometimes it’d honestly improve the gameplay to just skip them altogether
Interesting points. There should be options that are more inclusive.

I feel like much of the world is in a social war over what gender is and is not.
I don’t feel that its my place to tell someone else what gender is. I believe that gender identity is something that an individual has to figure out for themselves. The being said, based on my personal experience with understanding my own gender identity, I can tell you what gender is not.
Gender is not the same as your sexuality. Gender does not have to define your sexuality. Gender and sexuality are two different subjects.
Gender has nothing to do with your genitalia. Gender is not defined by a doctor, despite what’s on your birth certificate. Gender identity is more of spectrum of variable options, instead of a binary with only two options.
Gender Identity & Gender Expression are not the same thing. Gender identity is part of the mental and emotional understanding of yourself. Gender expression is your style, how you’re most comfortable presenting to the outside world.
It is my belief that somewhere through out history, things like gender identity, gender expression, genitalia & sexuality somehow got all wrapped up into one single category called gender. However, it is also my belief that the people in this world are changing. Growing into a much more colorful way of thinking and understanding.
I hope the day will come when the majority will know gender to be a personal understanding of ones self, instead of an outward understanding of everyone else.
