So, not 'exactly this'. I wrote that in my example an assumption had been made, whether I intended it or not.
Same as in the documentation this post is about, therefore the problem existed before it was pointed out.
The grammatical error to be fixed was the assumption in the language used. Both of these things are true. Pointing it out very simply, as part of providing the reason for the change, is completely normal
Ah OK, I think we're getting to the heart of why you are saying that this wasn't an issue.
When you say that the author wasn't assuming anything, what exactly do you mean? If, for example, I write in a guide that if a user of my software does 'a' then he can expect result 'b', do you disagree that I am assuming my users go by he/him pronouns?
I might not have done it with intention, but there is an assumption being made there. Words mean things.
You seem very, very sure of there being "LITERALLY" no problem with the gendered pronoun being used for an unknown user.
Instead of hand-waving it away as the author being male and just prefering his own pronouns in his writing, we could maybe consider where it is being written and why it might feel particularly non-inclusive? ie: a field that has historically been very intentionally uninviting to women?
Also, it's not like this was someone petitioning for a boycott over one assumed pronoun, they just quietly fixed the grammar and submitted the change. Absolutely nothing idiotic about it.
You gotta pace yourself, spread that evening beer out evenly across a year of evenings
Well it's been a while, so either I still managed to get lost with that, or I completely missed that mechanic... Well, I think even if I were told what area I should be in, I'd still feel like I needed to check off the 3 new paths I can now go down of the 15 currently locked to me. If that makes sense. I miss my map...
I've not played the other fromsoft games, only Sekiro. But from what I've heard - unlearn everything, mainly dodging. Dodging has its place, as does jumping, but for a fair while try to force yourself to only parry. Fight every enemy, learn the how to fight fast and how to fight slow, just parrying and striking. Find the rhythm.
Anyone I've seen saying it's the hardest fromsoft game generally dodges and moves around a lot, and makes the fights way longer than they need to be. I went in with no fromsoft experience (except a bit of bloodborne from a aaages that I have forgotten) and found it OK. Hard as hell to be fair, but it's not my usual type of game and it always felt doable with enough practice. So, treat it like it's own thing and be prepared to learn a new fighting style, and you'll be fine!
I loved Hollow Knight except for the same issue. By the time I gain a new traversal skill, I have so many paths to explore that I can't remember them. Became all about meticulous backtracking, gave up.
Decided to give it another go. This time I found a map online, removed all icons and edited the image so it was just a simple outline with no spoilers. Printed it out. Marked it with notes and colour-coded symbols as I played. Made more progress, and exploration was way more fun.
Then I moved house and lost the map... I really love the game but just haven't gotten the desire to try again just yet. No idea how everyone does it with just those way-too-limited in game map markers
Here's the first one I found. Maybe there's more, who knows? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2008-04-29/emotional-buswell-admits-to-chair-sniffing-incident/2419558
So I'm assuming you misread it, but let's pretend for a moment that it was a Democrat pouring water into a Republican's bag - that would make you ok with it?
Try to not fall into that 'us vs them' at all costs mentality... You should hate it even more when 'your team' does something shitty like this, it lowers them and makes it far easier for the opposition to look better in comparison
Hmm. While I can see that and appreciate the inclusiveness of it, it still feels like the wrong choice to me. Maybe times are changing (obviously) and I need to get used to emojis being used in a more serious tone? But I don't know... Are we there yet?
Holy shit I hadn't clicked yet and hoped you were joking. I'm sure they mean well but I find that really disturbing, what a weird use of emoji...
One day, yeah. Don't remember the name but it's the most complex one. Homecoming maybe?
Keep going!
Sekiro is the first game I ever felt a reason to play ng+. I've gotten 3 of the 4 endings and beaten 3 of the 4 gauntlets. I'm keen to do the 4th tu some point, but I looked up what that last gauntlet has in store for me, and honestly I'm kinda scared to try. Because I'm going to want to beat it, but not sure I'll actually have it in me...
Too many pixels. You gotta get rid of at least half of them pixels
Good lord. I've done 3 playthroughs and 3 gauntlets, and there is no way I'm ever no-hitting that old man
There may be someone who longs for the ultimate drink...
Damn dude, that's some perseverance! Good work! Now go and ruin that ape date
Such a concise way of saying something I've tried to express about SO many things... Must remember these two sentences.
Keep your eyes peeled, there are clues around about his potential true identity...
Damn, yeah hard to give any benefit of the doubt when it's so opaque like you say. Very concerning
Warning - there are no spoilers in my question, but there will probably be gameplay mechanics spoilers in any answers (hopefully).
I'm downloading Lies of P now to give it a shot. I'm not a big fan of RPG elements in these types of games (blasphemy I know), I prefer a focused experience; for example I liked Bloodbourne but never finished it because of all of the options, but I absolutely loved every minute of Sekiro. Basically I can't be bothered with experimenting with builds and crunching numbers, it's not for me.
I know any actual advice will depend on what I want the gameplay to feel like, so I guess all I can say is take Sekiro as an example - I'd probably be focusing on anything that will help speed and parrying (if any stats affect that?) and decent dodging.
So, do you have any advice on things I should focus on, things I should avoid or wait to upgrade, weapons to aim for etc? I don't mind spoilers.
I'm new to Lemmy, and found lemmy.ml to be where I want my accounts. I created this one, which got approved very quickly. I then created a second one, because I'd like this one to be more anonymous and the second one to match my username on Twitch (and my real name is easily found there).
The second account seems to have not been approved, I'm not sure how to tell but it's been hours (and this account was approved in minutes). Could have been because I tried to use the same email address, is that supported?
Whatever reason it was, does this mean that username is gone and no longer available? Is there any way for me to try again?
EDIT: Never mind, of course the moment I create this post, I check again and the signup has been approved. I swear I was being patient!
