There’s a place for both, really.
Sure, but when someone whines “Why did they give this character depth? They could have made them shallow and boring!” I’m not going to give that person much credit.
Also, DOOM guy does have some backstory for those that care to look for it in the games. Easily ignored for those that don’t.
I don’t care about Karma, I care about comments being sorted by general usefulness.
Is Nintendo owned by Wizards of the Coast?
Dreams? “Unskippable ad in 30 seconds. Recommend you pull over.”
Just haven’t met the right foreigner yet.
He’s not going to want to deal with the crap he puts in them. “Just $5 a month to maintain control of your motor functions!”
Putin doesn’t poison useful allies.
These showrunners aren’t making Lord of the rings over here
Of course not, Lord of the Rings already exists.

Sure they’d love him, but they’re also not Catholic.
You don’t actually mean heaven should forbid it, you mean “figuratively speaking heaven forbid”!

I agree, it’s stupid, but arguing against it is “old man yells at cloud” territory. The fact is if I said “I literally couldn’t get out of bed this morning” the meaning of that statement is well understood.
There is a small extra cognitive shift where the brain realizes those aren’t typos or random letters and are intended to represent those words, so it does add an impediment to understanding. If it became common for people to write them as ‘r’ and ‘u’ then over time that would become correct.
Just like if it was common for people to pronounce “gif” one way and then someone came along and said “Well the creator wants it pronounced another way” the correct response is “who gives a fuck? This is how the word is used now.” The ‘creator’ of the word “island” did not have an ‘s’ in it, but no one is arguing for it to be spelled “eyland”.
I understand, but ‘Island’ has an ‘s’ in it. This was a done as a stylistic choice to Latinize a word that has no Latin roots, and it caught on. English is a mongrel tongue with it’s rules defined by how the unwashed masses use it; You’re fighting a losing battle.
If it impedes understanding and causes to person you’re talking to take more time and/or effort to understand the message you are trying to convey then it is incorrect.
All this could be solved if people would accept that English changes over time and if defined by usage and understanding.
If people easily understand what I mean when I say gif then I have pronounced it correctly. Same as if people understand what I mean if I use “literally” to mean “figuratively” or spell “island” with an ‘s’ despite it having no Latin roots.
I’m not convinced there are “unwinnable” settlements. They might be unwinnable for me at my current skill level, but there are people who play at Prestige 20 who I’m sure couldn’t possibly lose at the difficulty I’m playing at regardless of what RNG throws at them.
The original GoW games had a lot of story. They didn’t add more story to the new games, just better story.
