GO WATCH A MOVIE 

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.

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

Imagine if you were a gamer with arthritis or MS or some other disability that took away your ability to click buttons quickly, and every fight became as frustrating as THAT GODDAMN DA: ORIGINS OH FUCK I’M ON FIRE SLIDE PUZZLE. 
Yeah. Skipping combat might seem like a not bad idea then.

Mass Effect 3 has this:
[Screenshot from a Mass Effect 3 menu, with title: “Choose Your Experience”, showing the options ‘action’, ‘role playing’ and ‘story’.]
‘Action’ makes most story choices for you and conversations become straight up cutscenes. ‘Role playing’ is the default experience, both challenging gameplay and character/story building. And ‘story’ has the roleplaying but very easy combat, letting you breeze through it. (You also have a ‘casual’ difficulty setting that’s a bit more rewarding but still pretty easy.)
The thing about video games (particularly RPGs or in general games that allow you to explore or direct the story) is that the interactivity is what makes it different from movies or watching LPs on youtube. And I’ve played games that got FAR stronger emotional reactions out of me simply because I had to carry out the actions myself rather than just watching. And that experience should be more accessible.
Because SHOCKINGLY: games aren’t always about winning, or being good at it. It’s about having fun. This is kindergarten education here.

Yeah, it always baffles me when I see people react so negatively to a perfectly reasonable suggestion like this.
Why the hell shouldn’t games let you skip combat if you want to? Why shouldn’t there be a super-duper-easy-peasy mode for everything? No-one is gonna force YOU to play it like that if you don’t want to! Continue to be as hardcore as you like!
I just don’t understand the resistance at all. What we’re talking about is simply having more options for gamers. You’re adding something that would make games more accessible and fun for loads of new fans, and you’re not taking ANYTHING away from existing fans.
Like
do you
not want more people to enjoy these games?? Do you really hate the idea of other people having fun so much that you’ll rile against it even when it literally has no effect on you or your experience whatsoever?? Are you honestly that selfish??

I am *horrifically* bad at gaming, but it’s a genre that I’m intensely interested in and very desperately want to be more immersed in. I would HAPPILY buy so many more games if combat was a skippable option. 

Not to mention one of the best indie games out right now is pretty much telling you if you want the best ending, don’t fight.



Yeah, I hate the elitist mentality that only those ~*~*hardcore*~*~ enough should be allowed to enjoy video games. I mean, gaming should be an experience to be had and not just an obstacle to clear, right?Then again, my poor mental health situation and chronic pain+mobility issues on my right hand means that my gaming options are severely limited nowadays. So I’m all about making gaming accessible for everyone in the first place.Anyone who thinks gaming will be ruined by making it more accessible need to realize that they have already ruined gaming for many.



Anyone who thinks gaming will be ruined by making it more accessible need to realize that they have already ruined gaming for many.



I’ve had to stop playing certain games because all the button mashing aggravated my carpal tunnel pain, and I rage quit some because they had a super frustrating part that I could never get past. Games should be fun, not a test of endurance. At least, they should let you skip the difficult parts you are unable to do. They can still have a hardcore mode for people who enjoy a challenge. They would still get to brag about their accomplishments without preventing others from enjoying an otherwise fun game.



Unpopular opinion but just watch the game on youtube then? Why spend money when you don’t get the full experience? 

The different between watching and playing is
Watching you’re seeing someone’s experience
Playing you’re experiencing it
I watched a lot of gameplay and playing some of the games myself have a very different feels to it



Understandable but why waste money on a 70 bucks game if you cut out like 30 or 40 percent? That’s not worth it

I have to go 50/50 on that one because I tend to avoid fights in AC: 
Syndicate




Isn’t the whole point of AC to avoid fighting? Or did that change since Brotherhood? 


Syndicate is based on victorian era & there’s gangsI literally had to hide because I keep walking to area higher than my current level because of main story line


Goddammit AC. You had one job

And ‘story’ has the roleplaying but very easy combat, letting you breeze through it. (You also have a ‘casual’ difficulty setting that’s a bit more rewarding but still pretty easy.)
The thing about video games (particularly RPGs or in general games that allow you to explore or direct the story) is that the interactivity is what makes it different from movies or watching LPs on youtube. And I’ve played games that got FAR stronger emotional reactions out of me simply because I had to carry out the actions myself rather than just watching. And that experience should be more accessible.
Because SHOCKINGLY: games aren’t always about winning, or being good at it. It’s about having fun. This is kindergarten education here.

Yeah, it always baffles me when I see people react so negatively to a perfectly reasonable suggestion like this.
Why the hell shouldn’t games let you skip combat if you want to? Why shouldn’t there be a super-duper-easy-peasy mode for everything? No-one is gonna force YOU to play it like that if you don’t want to! Continue to be as hardcore as you like!
I just don’t understand the resistance at all. What we’re talking about is simply having more options for gamers. You’re adding something that would make games more accessible and fun for loads of new fans, and you’re not taking ANYTHING away from existing fans.
Like
do you
not want more people to enjoy these games?? Do you really hate the idea of other people having fun so much that you’ll rile against it even when it literally has no effect on you or your experience whatsoever?? Are you honestly that selfish??

I am *horrifically* bad at gaming, but it’s a genre that I’m intensely interested in and very desperately want to be more immersed in. I would HAPPILY buy so many more games if combat was a skippable option. 

Not to mention one of the best indie games out right now is pretty much telling you if you want the best ending, don’t fight.



Yeah, I hate the elitist mentality that only those ~*~*hardcore*~*~ enough should be allowed to enjoy video games. I mean, gaming should be an experience to be had and not just an obstacle to clear, right?Then again, my poor mental health situation and chronic pain+mobility issues on my right hand means that my gaming options are severely limited nowadays. So I’m all about making gaming accessible for everyone in the first place.Anyone who thinks gaming will be ruined by making it more accessible need to realize that they have already ruined gaming for many.



Anyone who thinks gaming will be ruined by making it more accessible need to realize that they have already ruined gaming for many.



I’ve had to stop playing certain games because all the button mashing aggravated my carpal tunnel pain, and I rage quit some because they had a super frustrating part that I could never get past. Games should be fun, not a test of endurance. At least, they should let you skip the difficult parts you are unable to do. They can still have a hardcore mode for people who enjoy a challenge. They would still get to brag about their accomplishments without preventing others from enjoying an otherwise fun game.



Unpopular opinion but just watch the game on youtube then? Why spend money when you don’t get the full experience? 

The different between watching and playing isWatching you’re seeing someone’s experiencePlaying you’re experiencing itI watched a lot of gameplay and playing some of the games myself have a very different feels to it


Understandable but why waste money on a 70 bucks game if you cut out like 30 or 40 percent? That’s not worth it

GO WATCH A MOVIE 

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.

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

Imagine if you were a gamer with arthritis or MS or some other disability that took away your ability to click buttons quickly, and every fight became as frustrating as THAT GODDAMN DA: ORIGINS OH FUCK I’M ON FIRE SLIDE PUZZLE. 
Yeah. Skipping combat might seem like a not bad idea then.

 We were sitting on the floor of the bathroom
 watching YouTube Kids to distract him from the
 bleed, when I saw it.
 It was a simple, innocent cartoon until it
 happened.
 Four minutes and forty-five seconds into the
 video, a man quickly walked onto the screen,
 held his arm out, and taught the children
 watching this video how to properly kill
 themselves. What did I just see? Did I really just
 see that? I immediately turned off the video. My
 son's nose stopped bleeding, and I further
 investigated the video in private while he went to
 play. I watched it again, certain that I had
 dreamt it up. I know YouTube had some sick
 videos, but I thought YouTube Kids was safe.
 They sure make it seem like it is.

 But - no. There it was again. Four minutes and
 forty-five seconds into the video. The man
 quickly walked in, held his arm out, and tracing
 his forearm, said, "Kids, remember, cut this way
 for attention, and this way for results," and then
 quickly walked off.
 Not much shocks me. I'm a physician, I work in
 the emergency department. I've seen a lot.
 But this did.
 This video was intentionally planted on YouTube
 Kids to harm our children. He waited until
 parents' guards were down, thinking their kids
 were just watching a harmless cartoon when he
 made his entrance four minutes and forty-five
 seconds into this video.
 How can anyone do this?
 How can YouTube Kids trick parents into thinking
 their content is safe?

 What else do our children seen on these apps?
 I reported the video and asked my friends and
 family to report. Hours later though, it is still
 up, and I wonder how many children have seen
 this video since. Those apps are all now deleted
 and will never return to our household.
 I am disturbed, I am saddened, I am disgusted.
 But I am also relieved that I was there to see
 this video with my own eyes, so that I could take
 the appropriate actions to protect my family. I
 would recommend everyone reading this to take
 these same steps as well.
 Today I was grateful for my son's nosebleed.
 UPDATE: PediMom was able to get this
 particular video removed from YouTube Kids
 therefore it is no longer ahle tn he viewed This

 ATTENTION: Do not leave your children
 unsupervised with YouTube. I've heard a lot
 about these type of videos that seem
 nnocent & are marketed towards children..
 but have perverted imagery & messages in
 them that are imprinted into your childrens
 subconscious mind. stay woke

 We were sitting on the floor of the bathroom
 watching YouTube Kids to distract him from the
 bleed, when I saw it.
 It was a simple, innocent cartoon until it
 happened.
 Four minutes and forty-five seconds into the
 video, a man quickly walked onto the screen,
 held his arm out, and taught the children
 watching this video how to properly kill
 themselves. What did I just see? Did I really just
 see that? I immediately turned off the video. My
 son's nose stopped bleeding, and I further
 investigated the video in private while he went to
 play. I watched it again, certain that I had
 dreamt it up. I know YouTube had some sick
 videos, but I thought YouTube Kids was safe.
 They sure make it seem like it is.
 But no. There it was again. Four minutes and
 forty-five seconds into the video. The man

 Being in a room with straight people talking
 about straight things is so exhausting
 pokemontrainerpav
 What the hell are 'straight things'?
 theonlylivingboyinnewyork
 Marriages and mortgages and families and
 opposite sex attraction talk and talking about
 sex openly without being made to feel like
 you are making people uncomfortable and
 hearing straight people talk about how hard
 dating is for them and hearing straight people
 talk about how they are such victims and their
 lives are shit when what this really means is
 they aren't married at age 22 and sexist crap
 that drives me crazy like traditional weddings
 and how great religion is and how the world is
 so lovely and kind and great because people
 don't know what it's like to be a minority and
 how straight people are like "this person is so
 lovely" when you know they are homophobic
 or listening to straight people say things
 are "gay" or talk about people who dress
 unconventionally (ie. men who wear dresses)
 as being weird or doing impressions of
 gay people or asking "why don't you have a
 boyfriend?" judgementally as if it is just that
 easy or getting annoyed at you when you
 complain about how hard your life is because
 it's easy for them cause they are straight
 and wouldn't know the first thing about it or
 having to come out to people all the time
 cause they just assume you're straight and
 getting weird looks like "tmi" or "you don't
 look gay" or "I don't care what you do in the
 bedroom" or having to hear straight people
 talk about really cute straight couples or really
 great romantic films or books about straight
 people or just watching people live super
 conventional lives and do really sexist old
 fashioned things just because no one is brave
 enough to question or think about anything..
 and worst of all knowing that if you were to
 say or talk about anything gay everyone would
 get uncomfortable and not join in on the
 conversation and wish you had said nothing...
 and then people will be like "you hardly said
 anything", "you're so quiet", "you don't talk
 much", "are you shy", "you're boring".
 No bitch I'm gay and I don't relate to nor am
 I really interested in any of the shit that you
 have been yelling to my face for the last hour.

 I live for the number of straight people that
 don't understand why this was written in this
