I have a child near that age. I'll agree that having a small one makes literally everything harder but you don't see most people complaining about it like that. We all chose to be parents and it's part of the deal.
I do too. And yes it can make trying to have some alone or me time difficult but it's not a fucking disability
I'd just like to be able to take a shit without my child wrecking some part of the house. It's the small things you miss.
I can't even put my kid in the cot anymore to cage him for a while cause he can climb out even on the lowest level. Thankfully he's easily distracted by tv
I can't either. Because he'll break out of it and then bitch and complain about it to his friends on Discord.
My sister has a two year old and a monthling. We still get together and stream games on Mondays. Granted, it's harder now that my new niece is so needy, but we still make the time.
They don't get any better as teenagers. Just new forms of stupidity. I watch that 70's show and agree with Red Foreman. It's not the destructive power, it's the drama, and then the destructive stupidity.
"I'm gonna run away and marry her" he says as he walks into the table.
That's why I've been looking into offices outside of my house.
Fuck off
I'll say that the Fromsoft model, and all its copycats, of not allowing you to pause anything ever makes having a child and playing the game a real either/or situation. I don't particularly like it much anymore either. But its also one of those things you learn to live with, and picking when to play it or something with easy pausing is part of having any hobby with children. Same reason I don't even consider Raiding anymore.
Unironically, a lot of the points she is making have merit deep down. Little things like rebindable keys and "not having button mashers" go a long way to making games just better in general for both regular people and maybe those who are a little lacking.
But that has nothing to do with Elden Ring (minus the lack of pause, but that's been a thing for over a decade now) and instead of pushing the validity of the point she turned them all into cry fests about her, her, her and her victimhood. It undermines all of it and turns it into a joke.
So, once again its a woman ruining a good thing by making it all about themselves.
Single player games you can't pause are just plain retarded. I totally understand if you can't play with your inventory, use items, or what not while at risk in the world. That's fine. An option for "I would not like to participate in this game in any way for a period of time" should be a default feature.
I also appreciate games that offer a "quick save" feature that allow you to totally abandon a game and return later with a one-time-use save if they otherwise want to limit saving. Especially long talky RPGs. Sometimes you go into a section of talking and have no idea you're about to spend 30 minutes there.
Everything else is things I don't like about game design, but I'm not screeching about disabilities and trying to make a dev feel bad for not accommodating it like this ho.
FYI, in Elden Ring, if you open the inventory menu, press the help button, and then press the menu explanation button, it literally pauses the game. With a bit of muscle memory, this is quickly done.
Good tip, though I imagine with the same amount of button presses you could quit out the entire game and rely on the generous autosave.
The meme where when a dude takes a picture of an object. Its a picture of an object. But when a girl takes a a picture of an object, she gotta make sure she is in the foreground, while object is secondary lol.
And when you are playing in offline mode, what then? Considering that is an option easily chosen, its something they took into their design.
don't even reply to pedo pajeet
Didn't even pay attention to who it was.
SHUT UP
silly woman
If you're reaching for the pause button instead of already having dropped the controller and started moving towards them, you're a failure as a parent. It's a game. Take care of the priority, lose the fight or whatever, try again later. You signed up for those responsibilities when you had kids. If that sounds too cumbersome, don't have children.
Go play other shit for a couple of months. Elden Ring will still be there when your wrist is healed. Or use one of the split controller solutions and you can even play with both your arms in slings.
This is the only thing mentioned so far that is an actual disability. There are some reasonable accommodations that can be made, but it's at the dev's discretion and if they think the product would suffer, they have no obligation to cater to you personally. Lest we get rid of video games altogether because "muh blind people can't play them."
You might have to not play a video game that you can't pause for a little while when you have other responsibilities. This isn't shocking.
Well, that is definitely a mental disability.
It's not the kid. Being a woman is a disability.
Raising children can be a pain in the butt sometimes, but is playing up how much of a “burden” children are and trying to make it into some kind of “disability” really the appropriate response?
At least she accepts that she was a blight on her parents.
Gotta find that silver lining somewhere :)
Not to even halfway agree with this skank but, well, there's no reason not to have an easy pause option.
Games can be hard, and still have QoL features such as a pause. Pause is basic.
That I'll also side with her on, insofar as "pansexual" is a thing. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and say she'll, uh, engage in sexual intercourse with a wide variety of partners.
The real issue I have with the entire notion is the retarded name that was picked for this nonsense.
Like yes, obviously there's a lot of things in life that can get in the way of being able to do x or y properly due to short-term circumstances. And sometimes it's totally worth bitching about at least a little. But using the word "disability" in the name is off the walls stupid, insane, and probably pretty damned insulting to people with actual disabilities.
