I chuckled, but to be a proper reversal shouldn’t they be building it around him or someone like him?

Shelter was pretty fun, played it for a few months when it came out. Obviously if you’re not a fan of the genre already it probably doesn’t offer much for you.

What did I not comprehend?

I’m not worried about the downvotes, I’m more caught out by the aggression I perceived. The downvotes just make me feel as though others consider the aggression warranted, and I don’t understand why.

The commenter said that the video shows the woman’s rope on the ground. The article makes no mention of that, but does mention a rope visible that is attached to the instructors.

I have not seen the video. The commenter or the article could be wrong, but it was a difference that felt worth mentioning for discussion.

I will take your word from it and continue to refrain from watching a video of a woman being plunged to her death. Nothing about that sounds like worth watching, the article alone was hard enough to read.

Thanks for trying to explain but I’m still confused tbh. I wasn’t making claims of what did or didn’t happen, I was making claims of what the article said. Which was true. So I don’t know how I can be said to be wrong. But I recognize this is probably a me thing, given the downvotes.

Meh, can we not compare first ladies like some kinda pissing contest? It’s weird when they do it and it’s weird when you do it too.

I really wish you would not keep saying I blindly trusted the article. In another comment chain I flat out said the article may be wrong. The point of me bringing up the differences was to discuss them. It’s very frustrating to be told what I do and do not believe.

Anyway, the downvotes aren’t the part that bothered me as I know they generally get piled on. I was more bothered by the strange aggression I perceived.

Thank you for taking the time to try and explain at least.

I didn’t blindly trust the article or intend to criticize anyone. I read an article, then the comments of that article, and saw things that conflicted. I thought those things were pretty key details to the story of how things unfolded, so I thought they were worth bringing up for discussion.

How can I do that in the future without coming across as criticizing?

I’m not particularly interested in watching a video of a woman being thrown to her death.

I just read the article, then read the comments, and noticed differences. I thought it was worth mentioning cause I found that they kinda directly conflicted. I don’t really know where the hostility is coming from here.

Edited to add, if someone wants to explain to me what social faux pas I have committed I’d appreciate it, because I’m out of the loop here.

I think some of the love for Spore is rose-tinted glasses. It’s ultimately kind of a shallow game. The sim aspects are not very well fleshed out, and 90% of the content of the game is really in the space age.

I have not seen the video. I am just remarking on what the article says compared to your comment. Perhaps the rope in the video that you see is the one attached to the instructors mentioned in the article. Or, the article is wrong. Again, just remarking on differences between your account and the article’s reporting.

The article contests some of your details.

Instead of being a matter of “trust”, the article states she asked for it.

The young woman, who aspired to become a physical education teacher, had asked to be launched from the bridge airplane-style, with two instructors hoisting her above their shoulders as she spread out her arms.

Rather than the cord being “left” on the ground, the article states

The instructors are wearing harnesses that appear to be attached to a security rope.

To the contrary that no one said anything until after, the article states

an onlooker screams at the instructors to attach her to a cord.

Edited to add, if someone wants to explain to me what social faux pas I have committed I’d appreciate it, because I’m out of the loop here.

I didn’t write the article, I’m just commenting on what it says.

During that event, Microsoft also revealed a new Hellblade game, Senua, and its future with this change is unclear.

From the article.

Trans women are women, so unless they are watching porn of trans men, they are straight.

If you’re into story-driven RPGs, check out Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel.

I’ve read 8 of them and it might seem crazy for someone who has read 8 books of a series to tell you not to bother, but uh, don’t bother. There’s better written fantasy out there.

It would take you ten seconds to search the expression before being so confidently wrong. Then, it could be a niche learning opportunity.

I have a love hate relationship with Witcher 3. Actually, I have a love hate relationship with the Witcher books, too.
