the donkey turning into an elephant is pretty appropriate considering the dick cheney endorsement, fascist border policy, and ongoing genocide

motion twin is an anarcho-syndicalist co-op. note that dead cells isn’t maintained by them anymore.

We’re not asking for spicy food to “not exist” in that we’re not asking for your precious games who don’t want people to be able to pause them to “not exist.” They can exist just fine,

people are literally in here complaining about games that don’t allow pausing, saying that they should all allow it with no exceptions regardless of artistic intent or ludic effect.

this thread would not have happened if “they can exist just fine” was the premise.

ableism is inherent to challenging participants on the basis of ability. a challenge for some will be impossible for others, and some people will be unable no matter how easy the easy mode is or how low you put the basketball hoop. We have to reckon with that, inventing wheelchair basketball, or having a lower hoop for kids, or games that have no time pressure, but we don’t get rid of the NBA because I can’t dunk and we shouldn’t force every game to have pausing just because somebody might need to walk away.

i have enough games to play, i’m not put out by design features i don’t like or render a minority of games inaccessible to me.

a fuckload of books and movies don’t hold my attention, should everything be re-edited to suit my neurology?

you can’t have challenges for everyone without being somewhat exclusionary some of the time, and that’s fine as long as it’s optional recreation and there’s a wealth of other equivalent things we can do for fun.

the large masses of people who have to be able to pause at the drop of a hat are the default. offline singleplayer with no pausing is a rare aberration. You might as well ask for the spiciest food to cease to exist, to accommodate normal people, as though the vast majority of food is not spicy at all.
