Your local hag.
This is in the end something quite ableist. Now I don't even fault the (indie) devs for those blunders I found because providing good acc. settings is hard, coding and testing wise, I am just sad that we pretend we provided them with subpar difficulty opt when they serve mostly the abled majority

It's not the single tab itself. But more than one time I opened an accessibility menu and only found a damage slider instead of a colorblind option or visual sound cues, because able bodied players now are the main users of that tab and the difficulty-like options are considered default. >

It also pisses me off because I there is unexplored design space in difficulty settings and knowing what makes something difficult for classes of players, but now we're stuck with a slider version of bad difficulty option that /v/ mspaint comics used to clown 10 years ago (damage nums tweak)

My pet peeves is the collapse of accessibility and game difficulty into one big ass tab when most good accessibility options shouldn't really be that impactful for the able bodied player while "just turn down/off damage lmao" is really not a super good accessibility option

Yup, it's like with global warming, they pretend not to believe it because fixing it requires to accept a more humane way of organizing society, but they know it's happening, and their solution is to build luxury bunkers and similarly antisocial fake solutions because they hate most of humanity

Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.

Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.

An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.

We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

I do reserve tables sometimes, especially when friends come over and I would never let an ai handle that. How TF is gonna know if the time I want is not available if I want to the prev or the next time. Plus if I talk to the ai I barely do anything different from doing the reservation directly

Oh it's a comment more about "educated" scientists ending up spewing this garbage while also having some of the worst grammar ever devised, which kind of proves that a STEM only education is actually not complete and perhaps makes you more prone to seeing people as numbers.

having to write stories that might make you slightly uncomfortable. Truly the Disney of videogames, everything must be marketable and have a Pavillion in the Nintendo amusement park

The worse part is them trying to use this "motherly" blanket and pretending she is just a nice space warrior mom :) while sanding over all the rough edges of her being a living weapon outcast that has brought destruction at the hand of a government that hates her because Nintendo is scared of

I mean from the overview trailer thing it's pretty much all.but confirmed, you have a "fun" gang of federation soldiers with their stereotyped roles accompanying you.
Really what I wanted from my Metroid, helping the military force that's better than space pirate only because they are mega evil
