Games are about entertainment. They're not a career.

They're all skills that you have to develop, and things people do because they like doing them. And if you're not willing to learn to develop those skills, you won't be able to participate.

Zelda games aren't gatekeeping me when I die a lot and they don't give me more health. Portal 2 isn't gatekeeping me when I can't solve the puzzles and they won't give me the answers. Undertale isn't gatekeeping me because I'm bad at bullet hells and they won't slow down time for me. The whole point of the game is to develop a skill and overcome a challenge.

I already named several mechanics Elden Ring gives you to deal with the difficulty, and engaging with them is what the game is about. It can be as easy or as hard as you make it. If you choose not to utilize those options, that's your prerogative.

they have opted to take actions that make the game unenjoyable for a significant number of gamers despite it having no positive benefit for ANY gamer

Like what

I don't have the tools to mod Bloodborne

Miyazaki himself said he wants a PC port but Sony won't do it. We're definitely on the same page there, and so is the CEO of From Software.

Douglas Adams was such a brilliant writer. He was taken from us far too soon

I've seen some wild shit during sleep paralysis. One of the tamer fits I had was seeing a really tall human-shaped apparition that was made of the shadow in the corner of my room. It felt like he cursed me to not be able to move. I was scared of that corner for a few nights.

One of the crazier ones: One night I was going to sleep with my curtains open, but the blinds were down so lines of orange light were spilling in from the street light onto the ceiling. I had the window open, so the occasional breeze pushed and pulled the lines like waves on a beach. It was hypnotizing. I was watching them half asleep, and eventually they slowly started morphing into what looked like pretty glowing runes dancing around my ceiling.

Then I start hearing voices outside my apartment. In reality, I'm sure it was a few teenagers walking home while having an unreasonably loud conversation for the time of night, but what I heard was 3 of them, multiplying into maybe 6, then tens of them, hundreds, thousands... Eventually it felt like an ocean of people was outside my apartment. Playful voices that were utterly unconcerned with me, not even aware I existed, but I was terrified they might spill into my room and kill me. The juxtaposition between the threat of being overrun by whoever those voices were coming from and the complete lack of visual evidence that there was anyone there at all was surreal.

At this point I know it's sleep paralysis because I can't move, but I try my best to drag myself off the bed with what little motor functions I still have to hopefully wake me up on impact. Eventually I succeed, and I wake up in my bed. The orange lines are spilling onto my ceiling just like before. Everything is quiet again, with just the soft sound of my fan whirring, slowly turning left and right.

And then I think about what just happened... If I woke up by falling onto the floor, how am I still in my bed?

Now the fan has morphed into a monster with a head of violently spinning blades, twisting and looming over me while making intimidating metallic sounds.

If you report it, yes. When this happened to me, (paraphrasing) they begged me in the text chat to not report them because they'd risk getting suspended.

To be fair, I was working customer service at the time but they still gave my food to a completely different store. And you gotta report it to get your order redelivered or refunded, so I did it anyways. Their English was awful and I'm sure that was how they ended up at the wrong store, but if this is happening often enough that they get suspended... That's not on me 🤷‍♀️

My sister did DoorDash deliveries and she'd steal food if the customer did the default tip or less. She got a few free meals out of it, but she's banned from dashing now lol.

Here's the single sentence you're looking for out of this several-paragraph long AI generated article:

They changed Bender's career chip to read "chainsaw juggler" instead of "prime minister of Norway" because of a terrorist attack on the actual prime minister of Norway, which works better because Bender had his dismembered arm.

How has nobody mentioned the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie? I saw it as a kid and even I wanted to leave.

Lots of people say "fuck America" but I'm not upset by it personally. He didn't say "fuck Israelis"

Right? There's a lot to criticize the US government for, but I'm pretty sure that this is already how things work. No idea what OP is on about

I just want one with a removable battery and a headphone jack...
