To be fair, if something goes against someone's religious beliefs they shouldn't have to act against their own beliefs.

You dont get to prioritize your personal religious beliefs over performing your duties as a government official. When acting as a government official you are literally "the government" and can't discriminate against citizens on the basis of your personal religion.

No, you can't get the artifacts as you play through. Every one of them requires backtracking, most of them require an item you didn't have the first time you passed near them. Only three can even be acquired before Gravity Suit, and five require Plasma Beam and beyond.

Dude, fuck off. Genocide is a real, horrible thing that happens to groups of people. Entire populations of human beings. Fuck out of here downplaying human misery and actual genocide by not only misusing the word by applying it to animals, but misusing the word by accusing everyone who tries to show you any amount of reason of committing or wanting to commit "genocide." You're unhinged.

Actually I acknowledged that it could be argued to be a creative decision mechanically, but that comparing it to character design decisions is a disingenuous argument

Here's that full post:

DipDipDiver posted...
You could certainly make that argument in the same sense that pressing up to move forward is a creative decision, but in the context of this conversation not having a pause button does not add anything creatively to the game and trying to make it the same as "I think the main character should have big boobs in TLOU" is incredibly disingenuous

You sarcastically called it a creative decision in the same sense as "pushing up to move forward" and said "not having a pause button does not add anything creatively to the game."

So yes, you were literally arguing that it had no creative bearing on the game at all.

Much like with the nature of the storytelling/quest "system" I don't think the argument isn't necessarily whether it's a creative decision or not. Just that it's a poor one.

This is a better explanation than people are usually willing to give, but I don't think that having to find a place for my character to stand while I go to the bathroom really adds much in the way of immersion for me, I'd rather just be able to pause

That may be the case for you, but it's definitely a creative decision.

What it adds has already been pointed out by a couple users. It adds an element of tension and planning. You can't just pause for a rest in the middle of a boss fight. You need to get your character off the road or fast travel if you plan to step away. It adds the sense that the world is a more real place that can't be stopped, strengthening the immersion.

If you want an aloof cat that doesn't care about human company and only seems to destroy things at their whim, you treat them like that's what they are.

If you interact with them, play with them, provide them an environment where they have toys of their own, you'll find that suddenly your cats aren't "acting like cats anymore".

Funny how that works. So many people seem to instinctively understand that dogs need interaction, play, structure, training...but then are somehow baffled to learn that cats need all those same things.
