K Jack was always helpful when I was looking for a good laptop a couple of years ago. He might make an okay mod. But it crazy that there's yet another new mod.

I never finished kingdom hearts because I got stuck at a boss

Which one, the black dragon? I beat the game last year, the boss I found the toughest was the Phantom outside of Big Ben, even Seph was easier.

I think it took me close to 50 tries to beat Dracula in CV1 the other night and I felt a sense of relief... to each their own. I don't mind easy games though or variable difficulties or accessibility options.

Resetti once greatly applauded some goon who bragged about cheating through Sekiro. A big thread, yet weirdly no one talked about the benefits of the cheat he used  for disabled people :thinking

I am tired of being disrespected as a disabled person on this board. I'm tired of being disrespected for my mental health issues. I'm tired of being disrespected, BY PEOPLE WHO THEMSELVES ARE ALSO DISABLED, AND AS A MODERATOR, ARE ENABLING THIS FUCKERS IN THIS THREAD.

You want a fucking battle ground? You, who is disabled, is also part of the problem enabling able-bodied gmaers on this fucking thread: Go Fuck yourself.

Why are Taco's used so frequently as a stand in for "unhealthy food" in memes?

A corn tortilla, marinated chicken, with cilantro, diced onions and hot sauce is like a picture of health.

An amazing balance of a healthy protein, vegetables, and hot sauce that helps boost your metabolism. Everything on it is low in undesirable macros and with a myriad of health benefits. Even swapping the protein the marinated grilled meat is still a great option for nearly all diet needs. Yet despite this we get memes like these.

Additionally, for those of us who can’t dunk, it’s fun as hell to lower the rim to 8” for an abnormal game of hoops where we’re all flying in trying to posterize one another. The other 99/100 times, we’re back to 10”, and the people who exist on the Internet didn’t throw a shit fit because we chose to mess with the rules for a moment. But ... Gamers and all.
Yeah sometimes I go to those trampoline places to dunk but apparently I didn't do grueling plyometrics training for six months to dunk on a ten foot rim so fuck me I guess
:mindblown

Uh, yeah, we shouldn't lower the regulatory rims just so you can dunk. It would completely change how the game is played to allow NBA players (and most collegiate players and even many WNBA players at that) to defend eight foot rims.

Dunks are a reward, not the basis of an offense. (That's why they only happen on average 3-5 times in a game of 200 some possessions. They'd probably disappear completely from a game on an eight foot rim where every player is six foot or taller.)

Meanwhile, about that six months of training you saw in the back of a magazine...

Quote from: Wonderment
Quote from: Finale Fireworker
I don’t relate to the OP at all. Video games present a specific set of objectives and obstacles for me to complete. Overcoming them is the entire point.

Also the boldness of saying a boss you can’t beat is badly designed is really offputting and bizarre. As is accusing an increase in difficulty being “bad game designs.” It sounds like you’re saying if game progression is not spoon fed to you then the game is a bad. Throwing game designers and playtesters under the bus because you can’t beat a boss reads like trolling. It’s very weird.

If someone plays their games like this then that’s fine, but I don’t think that qualifies someone to be making value judgments on game design and game quality as a result. Cheats and modifiers can make a game a lot of fun (Tony Hawk and GoldenEye come to mind). I also replay games on easy with modifiers to get trophies (hello TLoU Pt II). But the notion that games are bad because they are not easy is alienating to me.
Difficulty spikes, obtuseness of solutions, etc. have come from even the very best game designers. This has been the case for decades now. We just had Amy Hennig discuss this very thing over the past few weeks, specifically about a game she designed ten years ago.

So what makes people unqualified to discuss this facet of gaming?

On a disheartening note, I'm trying to figure out which part of this post is "love each other" or "die trying?"

You were one of the original beating hearts of this forum. I held on to your forum-founding, inspiring posts from the start. I still do. This reductive post, and others like it in this thread, are a long way from that.

Between this, and seeing an admin in the constructive thread call for people who are fighting for respect in community representation here, to keep quiet and let staff handle things - when that admin got to be an admin from being so strong in word and not keeping quiet about representation and not being satisfied with the way staff were handle things - it's leaving me feeling especially disappointed these days.
Wonder, my friend, I am confused and upset by this post. I don’t know if I am taking the brunt of your feelings which you’ve accumulated across other situations, but I feel like this is a very uncharitable reading of my opinion. I have admittedly not been my softest kindest self (perhaps we are all “covid posting”) but I am struck with confusion over your reaction to my opinion here.

I am not against people playing games on lower difficulties or using modifiers — something I do myself and discussed in my own post. I merely objected to unforgiving generalizations about game quality and the efforts of their developers. I do find it distasteful to accuse creators and testers of ineptitude and failure based on one’s own self-described resistance to difficulty. This is a position I take with compassion and respect towards the people who make games. Not with malice or contempt for any player. Players can do whatever they want, but I feel that it’s disrespectful to the backbreaking labor of creating video games to discredit and demean their work in such broad strokes.

I am sorry this opinion has disappointed you so greatly. I don’t know how to answer to your feelings about it. But you and I are old friends who feel similarly about many things. I am saddened our divergence in this particular thread has let you down to the point of publicly denouncing me. I will think twice before posting in the future.

Please take care.

I'm finally playing Jedi: Fallen Order and I'm really digging the Inquisitor designs. The Second Sister (on the right) already has a good design, though I think it's just a more realistic repeat of the Inquisitor outfit from Star Wars Rebels. But the Ninth Sister (center) is something I want to see more of. It's just so nice to see female character designs that stray outside that extremely narrow typical range of body types. (Plus the armor is practical and seems to prioritize movement without sacrificing protection or going for anything titillating.)

I saw it and it was why I made a specific offshoot for the accessibility side. But the bad actors in the other thread are ignoring it because they know they have free reign to post ableist comments in the previous thread which continues to happen. I am really trying to be civil with people in there but it's getting real damn hard

Look at that Gamer  :point :yikes

I already didn't really care for the very US-centric viewpoint about Nintendo the savior after the crash, but the RPG episode took me out completely. They didn't just skip Dragon Quest, they also glossed over Wizardry. It's a shame that this will be the source of a lot of misinformation to come.

Well as we learned today, you can post bigotry as long as the OP of a thread doesn't directly address disabled people. And it'll just continue on that way with the Souls cult continuing to shit on disabled people, touting it as the greatest series ever made, the series in which every choice is perfect for every person and you can't possibly disagree.

We know Mr. Freeze's backstory of getting caught in an accident while trying to save his wife who is ill and he's motivated by his love for her. It's an understandable motive and makes him a tragic figure. However, I think a lot of his actions undermine this part such as freezing innocent people and giving other people the same tragedy. He also shows disregard for others and is callous and not to mention that one episode of the TAS where he was ruining other people's lives just so they could feel his loss, which is pretty petty. No wonder in Batman Beyond Bruce refused to trust him. So I feel like if Freeze was just focused on saving Nora and all, it would make him more sympathetic

Where do we draw the line for disabled gamers? I do feel like the “game” element tends to require some degree of challenge in order to be rewarding and as a whole I’m not against difficulty options. I play most FPS on an easier setting because honestly playing an FPS with a controller makes me feel kinda disabled so I just enjoy dashing through cool looking environments, jumping out from behind corners to mow down entire legions of baddies at a time.

But when we are talking about disability it’s not just, “my reaction time”, “I can’t tell left from right” or “the default controls hurt my hands” it’s a myriad of conditions. What about those with no arms, or those with CP who have zero motor skills, or blind people.

How you gonna make dark souls accessible for blind people under your “all games for all people” mantra? Better get to work.

Ohh, that's what this thread is about... Umm, yeah, not really any arguments from me lol. In terms of gender equality though, I'm pretty sure you can do the Ball Buster move only on male enemies.
You can do it on female enemies, it just does no damage which is dumb really, they still got a crotch.

WHAT IS COMEDY??

My favourite thing is that it does not work on one of the gay characters cause he lost his balls in the war.

Who cares, I'm butthurt that I suck at this one game while I want everything to be made for me specifically, so I took the next best pseudo-woke excuse to make my whining seem legit.

I only very rarely go over to the gaming side and this is 100% why, but also the fact that they refuse to moderate gaming side like at all (unless it's console warring which we all know is the most important issue of all time) because they don't want to alienate the bigoted users is just... ugh.

I also really didn't care for the narrator or narration. And it felt like they were trying to manufacture drama when the actual stories are interesting enough without it.
Yeah what kind of hack did they get to narrate this piece of shit?

That other thread got ugly, and got ugly out the damn gate. Mendinso hope you are doing okay bud, that was rough.
I'm okay, just... Frustrated with that thread and honestly, wanna cry because I can't do more to help without being called out, as if I was intentionally try to start stuff (which was not the case). In fact, being called out by that mod in that thread, and only me, and no one else (and when really the people who needed to be called out were others), is really upsetting to the point I just wanna give up on this and cry.

I hate the fact I have disabilities and the mental health issues I have as is, not able to have a normal life and often rely on others because they're bad enough they impact aspects of my day to day (as many of my disabilities are non-visible), and to see someone else who is also disabled just enable this, especially on the modding team... I'm honestly crying about this. This has been my entire fucking life in a nutshell. It's fucking unfair.

I may just take a break for a bit from here, and honestly, I won't be shocked if I get banned for the post I made in that thread (and really, surprised I haven't). I'm just so tired of the hand-waving and I hate seeing people who are the most vulnerable here be attacked.

I'm genuinely considering asking for account deletion as being a part of this site with the shit that is going on is fucking depressing. That mod post was fucking heartbreaking especially as a disabled person themselves.

I'm crying over it. It comes off like many people I've met in my life and it reminds me of, notably specifically for the mental health sides of "I was able to overcome it, why can't you", in terms of tone and energy. That's how that post felt to me. And the OP in the thread even agreed with the importance how these being accessibility options, even if the original intent wasn't for that specifically. And I don't understand how ablest comments are justified, regardless if the OP's intent was or wasn't (when ultimately, at the end of the day, it's accessibility options).

I'm really upset by all this. As a disabled person, due to mental health and mental disabilities, I've always struggled with shit. And the fact this forum is not even a safe place for me and other people with disabilities and mental health issues, I just...

Quote from: Cheeseburgla
I'm not against easy mode, I just won't use it. Here's my thing. If you can't beat a boss after 20 tries, maybe you're not supposed to. Maybe it's for elite players. Yeah I get it that it would suck to not experience the rest of the game, but maybe the developers made it that way because that's the way they wanted to make their game? I think being an older person here (44), I've had a different life than some of you. Playing video games in the 80's was a challenging yet rewarding thing. We had to figure shit out. No walkthroughs, YouTube, etc. That has been said over and over again. That doesn't make it not true. This is a problem in sports. The cliche of everyone gets a trophy today is real, and as a person who has been an athlete throughout his life, and who now has children playing this new way....it sucks. It really does. The reward for failing is the same as for winning. What is that teaching you? I will never forget how it felt to lose my baseball world series when I was in 4th grade. I cried for hours. We didn't get shit for 2nd place but the pain of failure. That sticks with you, not some cheap trophy so you don't feel left out. If your team wasn't good enough to win, you're not supposed to win! You're not supposed to get that trophy. In a fair contest, there will be a loser and a winner. Sure it would be nice to experience that feeling of being the winner, but once it's truly earned, it feels so much better. So how does this translate to video games? It took me damn near a year to best Ornstein and Smough in Dark Souls. I stopped playing the game, played all the way through Dark Souls 2, and then jumped back in. Took me a few weeks, but I finally solo'd those bastards. That feeling, that sweet feeling, made it so much better. It takes putting in actual effort, improving your skills, understanding what you did wrong and fixing it. We have lost these skills in today's society.

Now, as I said, I'm not against easy mode. If you have a disability or just don't want to spend a year trying to figure out how to beat a boss, that's fine. Use easy mode. Just know that for some of us, playing without it is the way to do it, because we want that feeling. We're chasing that feeling. It's the reason why we learn anything. If I handed you a guitar and flipped a switch so you instantly play like Hendrix, that would be a great but hollow experience, in my opinion. I think this easy mode debate really goes much deeper into who we are, and how some of us perceive the world.

"Why include ramps on buildings? You shouldn't go in the building if you can't go up steps. Not everything has to be for everyone."

It would be backseat modding to call for a ban on this kind of bullshit, but I am soooo tired of it.
Quote from: Murfield
This is hyperbole. You shouldn't compare wheelchair access to an easy mode in video games.

People like some games because their designed around their difficulty, people are obviously apprehensive about people asking
for big and possibly disruptive changes to their favourite games, in an effort to appeal to people who don't like those games.
Quote from: DKeygo
The ramp example isn't hyperbole. If you only have one difficulty, you have to navigate around said difficulty. Not everyone will be able to make it to the end. Likewise if there's only one entryway into the building and to get to the entryway you need to use stairs, anyone who can't take the stairs is excluded.

People can enjoy games designed around difficulty. Said games can also include an easy mode or assist mode. They're not exclusive. It would be another option. More options = more people being able to enjoy the game. That's it.

Ideally the easy/assist mode would also be more than just scaling stats.
Quote from: Murfield
Are you seriously comparing people in wheel chairs who need help just to go about their daily lives, to not having an easy mode in video games?

One is a very life disrupting issue, the other isn't.

I'm really enjoying the posts throwing out "I believe in accessibility" and then immediately saying some garbage about how people are concern trolling, faking it, and then throwing out a point that entirely invalidates saying that in the first place.

Also people who just want an easy mode because "I'm an ADULT who does ADULT THINGS and doesn't have time for GAME" and use disabled people as a crutch to justify their argument are more disgusting than any perceived gatekeeping coming from the other side.
Serious question, does this actually occur much? Having been on both sides of this argument, I can’t recall seeing this kind of position put forth. Seems it would land poorly.

You see it quite a bit on these threads, just like "I paid for this game which means I must be able to experience all the content."

Look at that Gamer  :point :yikes

I already didn't really care for the very US-centric viewpoint about Nintendo the savior after the crash, but the RPG episode took me out completely. They didn't just skip Dragon Quest, they also glossed over Wizardry. It's a shame that this will be the source of a lot of misinformation to come.

That's pretty lame they don't mention DQ at all in the RPG episode.

It’s simple: Batman is racist, and fans of Batman are also racist.

white, wealthy authoritarian with unhealthy focus on low-level crime indulges in violent vigilantism fantasy fighting said crime in an inefficient way

underserved facets of society who have to resort to crime are PoC, and Batman furthers those disparities by augmenting their suffering

if you like Batman, you’re part of the problem
