If someone writes a complicated work of fiction, is it gate keeping to not also include an explainer in simple prose?

Someone might but Finnigan's wake and be completely baffled by it. Is that an accessibility problem? Is the author in the wrong?

Why or why not?

Note this is distinct from publishing it in braille or audiobook format

Difficulty is not the same as accessibility.

Remapping the inputs so they can be done with one hand is not the same as "you get twice as much health and mana".

Do you have a source for this? My understanding was only credit card balances mattered.

I am legitimately confused about how none of the cops involved in that have not been vigilante’d.

I also think about this a lot. There's like a mass shooting every day but it's never cops, politicians, billionaires.

Seems fine.

I wonder if we can also teach people delayed gratification. People's inability to do that is I think a root of a lot of problems.

I'm not aware of any harms from using a no-fee credit card that you pay off in full each month. You get 1% - 5% back, and it's easier to deal with fraudulent charges.

I bet a chunk of those republicans are mad that the court is "too liberal"

Republicans are the worst

That grand jury should have refused to indict.

Gw2 is the only MMO I've played where other people are only a positive. They can't steal your loot. They can't mess up your quests. It's a good game. No gear treadmill, too.

Anyone blocking the bike lane should forfeit the protection of law. I should be allowed to take their mirror off as I ride by.

People are like "oh well it was just for a minute I needed to run in" like that makes a difference to someone who gets hit by a car and dies because they had to ride into traffic.

In crawl stone soup I had a win with every species and every background. They added more and I haven't kept up, but it was a pretty big deal.

It's a good rogue like. Recommend checking it out if you like the genre.

The first one is a love letter to the original Baldur's Gate games. Tactical group combat, real time with pause, fantasy. It's an original setting that tries to subvert some Tolkien ideas. It's pretty good, though it does feel a little old-bioware. The story is a basic "global threat -> gather allies" with a touch of political intrigue. The romance is kind of badly done. It's peak "give them gifts until sex happens".

The second one suffered from being extremely rushed. Much asset reuse. It also made the game more "action-y" because I assume some souless suit said that kids don't want tactics they want biff bam ACTION. The story tries to do something interesting in that it follows a single city over a long period of time as tensions rise. It's not as bad as people say, but it's very flawed. The romances are okay. Internet shitheads absolutely lost their minds that gay people exist and might mistakenly think you're interested until you say no thanks.

This one also switched to the dialogue wheel instead of giving you informed choices about what you'd say. It does a subtle thing where your actions in cutscenes and stuff are informed by what style you often pick.

The third one barely holds on to the origins (pun intended). It really wants to be an action game like mass effect. That kind of sucks because we already have mass effect, and I wanted something different for my different game. The story is okay and has some good beats. The characters are really good. The romance is much improved. The gameplay is kind of okay. Mages are really nerfed despite the story saying they're super powerful and dangerous. The world is big and has a lot of shallow quests. There's a shit mobile game style "click a button and wait an hour" mechanic. You can mod that out. The story is also a "global threat -> gather power ". I bet critical analysis of the story is fascinating because a lot of it is kind of suspect, politically. But most gamers are like critically illiterate and probably didn't think about it.

Fun aside: the first game has a "sex scene" where one of the character's naked state is less revealing than her ridiculously revealing "armor ". The third game you can actually see nipples in the sex scenes, but I think they haven't crossed the line to show a vag or erect dong (though I haven't done all the romances). Lots of folks are still ashamed of bodies.

You can import saves from one game into the next. There are a lot of choices to make in all of them.

And that's my off the cuff typed on my phone quick summary of the games.
