Cultist Simulator is most fun when you really know nothing about the game and you stumble into things.

The point is just that how can a developer create an experience where you have the satisfaction of succeeding against overwhelming odds when you offer the easy mode where you win by pressing one button? I understand that people play games for a myriad of reasons, but one of those IS to put in effort.

Also it was just a mistake, I don’t really care to upvote or downvote people unless it’s something egregious or great. You really shouldn’t care about it, especially since lemmy doesn’t even keep track of it.

I’m sorry to hear that, and I certainly dread the day I won’t be able to engage with the hobby the same way. But there are a million games that don’t require fast reaction times and precise lightning fast inputs.

Poorly received games with tons of other venues of monetization outside the box price.

For it to work well the developer has to change the game’s design to allow for the easier mode to work. If they don’t, it wouldn’t offer a good experience for neither the easy mode nor hard mode players.

That’s pretty much like saying to a person to watch a let’s play of the game rather than play, which is fine but not really the point.

Good example. I also feel like vegetarianism is probably correct, but I still haven’t gone that way.

I’m glad you are like that, but dometimes people want to be convinced of the opposite side but haven’t been able to, yet.

From a purely financial view, they don’t. There’s a reason why games have become as handholdy as possible. And one of the reasons why the Souls series stood out was because it went in a different direction.

I’m not sure how the impending climatic doomsday is going to make human rights unimportant?

Maybe? I feel like the developers have the prerogative to decide to include it or not, but with the way the discourse has gone it certainly feels like I’m in the wrong here.

I thought about it a bit when making this post and I felt like not giving an example would make people come with crazy political opinions which would probably be a bad time. Maybe it still wasn’t the best approach, admittedly.

I don’t particularly find the acessibility argument that compelling. Sure, we must make experiences as acessible as possible, but at a certain point the experience gets degraded by it. You can’t make a blind person see a painting, and if you did, it wouldn’t be a painting.

Yes, but by that same argument if the experience doesn’t work for you as it was intended, perhaps the game isnt for you.

Not that arguing this point is the question here anyway.

Summoner class going to eat good. Guess I’ll do another playthrough of terraria.

If Twitter is any indication, Discord would have to fuck up big, and for a long time for people to switch.

Your explanation ignores the root cause of the issue. People stayed home because the Democrats and Kamala failed to motivate them to go.

The thing is that they are deliberately hiding it’s part 1 of 2.

They aren’t arguing in good faith

Niches really need a way to advertise themselves and then congregate in one place. It’s a bit sad to see two communities for the same thing in different instances and neither get the critical mass of posters needed to survive.
