Legit think Webhead would fistfight someone who has both a PC and an Xbox

"I'm tired of talking about this!* *makes a video about it* Gotta get dat youtube money I suppose Edit: You know, the more I hear the people on the side of 'No! Leave it as it is!' cry about artistic vision or whatever, the more I get the impression that they feel like adding an Easy Mode will, for some reason, erase the original difficulty mode... which isn't what anyone is suggesting. I'm going to turn this on it's head now, if you feel that the Easy Mode of a game breaks the artistic vision of the game... well, you don't have to play that difficulty.

Whatup. I missed everyone that doesn't like the way the other forum runs so I made this one. Rest of y'all should make some fresh meat topics to reintroduce yourselves, especially those that have been away a while. I love you all. What's new with me in the last little while? Got married to Jovanna. She's awesome. A hell of a lot more relaxed than my ex and also a professional event planner (going on vacations with her is fucking awesome). I visited Europe on the honeymoon. Got to meet a bunch of the Londish there. Basically one of my lifelong dreams (not being sarcastic) along with you know, actually seeing Europe. I just had a babbo. Her name is Luna. We somewhat named her after Luna Lovegood but I also got her a stuffed Luna cat from Sailor Moon. It's awesome and she's awesome. I'm on leave for 4 months from work. Going back May 20th. Seems like I'd have a lot of free time but I do not. If the baby is awake, she requires constant attention. So yeah hi.

I spoke to Lee and he said he would be happy to run a little introductory type session! For more seasoned players, it'd just be the 5e Intro Adventure so bear that in mind, but he feels it's a great way to introduce it to new folks and to let a group feel out a vibe together, so let's make this happen!

So Apparently my parents surprised us with a new 55" in TV. So that was a highlight.

Also, one of my favorite scenes :

Out of habit? Because some folks still think it’s fun / interesting / etc.? I’m not super hyped about it either, but no need to be a wet blanket.

The tricky thing about video games is that not everyone will play the same game for the same reason, and forcing the player to play the game how you specifically want it to be played narrows down how many people are going to keep playing it. If I'm into a game's story, then being stopped by gameplay is the most aggravating and least fun thing the game can do, because story to me is not the reward for good gameplay and that's what high difficulty turns it into. I want to see what happens next, stop getting my way etc If I'm into the gameplay or even feel like I accomplish something in the game, then higher difficulty is fine (ex: I don't think I ever had fun playing the Last of Us even when I beat it on hard mode, but it felt do-able after beating it on easy and I wanted my trophy statistics to look better than beating it on Easy looked). I did beat Dark Souls and did experience the "OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK." I killed the giant wolf a lot earlier than I should've due to learning the pattern and executing, shit was heart-pounding, but when I look back at it (Ddrat, da-da-da-um-da), all the hours of stress didn't feel worth the 30ish minutes of feeling accomplished at the end of it because dying in an open world like that was so punishing (I probably "quit" at least 20 times not counting Ornstein and Smough).
