  • Video games are the only art medium where people find it acceptable to gate-keep the art from the unskilled or the disabled.

    Yes, deaf people are famously well-accomodated by music, and paintings are always very accessible to the blind. Games are the first medium to ever be inaccessible to people.

    Don’t want the game to be too easy? Don’t fucking turn down the difficulty. Saying “I don’t want the game to be easier” is really just saying “I know I don’t have any self-control, and would inevitably turn down the difficulty when I hit a roadblock.”

    You’re complaining about players opinions, but I’m saying the artist is not required to sacrifice their vision for accessibility reasons. Not all art is for everyone, and that’s fine. You don’t have to play every game.




  • What I wanted to say is the endangerment didnt cause actual harm in that case. It doesnt make it right but its still much better than causing actual harm.

    But your “actual endangerment” didn’t actually happen either? They ate weed gummies and had no demonstrable negative effects afterwards, according to the article. Why am I required to address your “potential harm” that never occurred while you get to ignore the other side?

    Also its not a strawman, I literally said “its like saying”, I made a comparison

    Did you not just complain about being pedantic about wording immediately before this sentence? Yes, a comparison can absolutely be a strawman. You’re concocting a scenario that is more favorable to your argument than the one that actually happened.


  • while only possibly endangering people.

    The endangerment isn’t debatable. Do you actually believe it’s only considered endangerment if something bad happens? Insanity. You’re aware that driving under the influence is illegal even if you don’t hit someone, yeah?

    Thats like saying driving in any state sober or not is worse than shooting someone in the leg because you can kill someone while driving but a shot in the leg isnt deadly.

    If we’re just gonna make up weird, unrelated strawmen I guess I could join in but I don’t have time right now. Maybe I’ll come back later and concoct some inane, irrelevant scenario for you.
