Why not just make it an optional boss? Or incorporate some narrative option to defeat the boss without fighting? I mean a developer could just put a "press to skip" over their boss fight, but that's a lazy and stupid way of doing it that just devalues the experience. So I expect it to be widely...

1. Identify wasps 2. Observe wasps- Aren't they cute? 3. Love wasps

Yeah, he didn't even have the power to stop them killing a dog which wasn't involved in the altercation. His death was broadcast a mile away and the fact that he was a boring asshole suggested the author wasn't super invested in him. Overall though, I don't see how he can be "the main" character...

I don't get how Ned Stark was the main character? He was an asshole, an idiot, and boring to boot. He killed the guy who ran from the ice zombies, and then was like "yeah, I guess he didn't deserve to die but it was my duty to kill him". He killed his own kid's magical wolf, not bothering to...

I played Demon's Souls, but that has the excuse of being a predecessor. After DS1 they went backwards in that regard. Sadly I have not, in fact, played Bloodborne. Not really sure what I can say regarding the sense of hopelessness besides "I disagree" without writing a five thousand word...

Yeah I replayed it recently and it's really not that bad. I think the spectacularly shitty intro cutscene that consists of looking at an old lady's mouth while she monologues for 45 minutes is what really primed me to dislike it. Fuck me that was boring. Where they really dropped the ball...

I had a toy rabbit whose fur fell over its eyes in such a way that it looked a bit like it was scowling. I thought it really hated me and I would get really upset because I was always trying my best to make it happy but it was always mad at me. And reading this now lol the rabbit was basically...

I didn't realise I was attracted to the same sex until probably my early twenties. I was kind of possessive/jealous when it came to my best friend in high school, but I didn't connect it to romantic attraction for ages, like after we fell out of contact. Other times I would be attracted to women...

The relevant context in this case would be historical context. The history of sexism, horrible as it is, doesn't involve portraying one sex as repulsively unattractive and encouraging the other sex not to breed with them lest they cause humanity to degenerate. Sex and race are treated very...

Actually in my example I said "Jews I KNOW are money grubbing". However, you correctly recognised that basically adding "imo" to a racist statement doesn't make it less racist. Another way to phrase "I don't find black people attractive" is "black people are unattractive", which is as much a...

Doesn't really matter. When people express a "preference" like, for just one example, "I don't find black people attractive", they aren't expressing it in a vacuum. Like if I say "All the Aborigines I know are dirty" or "All the Jews I know are money-grubbing", maybe I came up with these...

Except nectarines don't have a history of being portrayed as hideous and grotesque by the bananas who enslaved and oppressed them. They don't have a history of lightening their rind, or straightening their peel with harmful chemicals, to meet the beauty standards of bananas. Fruit doesn't have...

Oops sorry, I thought you were sating that cultural identity trumps race in Greece. My bad.

Saying that Greeks don't discriminate against Arabs who speak Greek is like saying that Brits don't discriminate against Germans who speak English. I don't know very many Greeks who would be okay with their daughter marrying a black African just because he speaks Greek. If they ask him what he...

By the time you find the shield you've discovered dodging and that you can burn down enemies quicker two-handing. Maybe having the shield in that exact location is particularly conducive to causing the player to conclude they're supposed to use one, but I don't really buy it. There are a myriad...
