    When did games go from being something fun to do, to people getting so serious about them that they would rather fuck over a bunch of disabled people than lose a game?

    Whenever I play competitive games I see people raging in the comments like every game, and it’s usually people who aren’t doing very good that round because they want to blame everyone else for losing. Idk why y’all are paying $60+ just to be angry the entire time. Fuck around and have fun, it’s not that serious.

    It’s so bad you’re STILL mad about a hypothetical situation that doesn’t even exist. Spiderman 2 is single player. If it was competitive, and disabled people being able to play ruins your life sooo much, then don’t play it. Crisis averted.

      I’m not sure what you’re on about but he wasn’t complaining about Spider-Man 2. He even said if a game is 1P, then he’s fine with any settings a player wants.

      His complaint was about competitive games and I think it’s a fair complaint (albeit a bit off topic) I don’t think it’s in your (or anyone else’s) purview to tell others what games are or aren’t about nor how seriously they should take their games.

      We have entire competitive (and, imo, friendly) communities centered around competition and the notion that the rules are the same for everyone.

      I know I said I’m still mad about it but you seem like really mad in your comment.

      I don’t see how anything I said has to do with fucking over disabled people.

      I didn’t say anything about raging.

      It’s not for you to tell people how seriously to take their hobbies.

      I didn’t say disabled people shouldn’t be able to play it. How did you come to that conclusion?

        Yes, I do get upset when people act like disabled people needing accommodations is ruining their life. For obvious reasons. Disabled people had no accommodations in games for literal decades and suddenly able bodied people act like it’s the end of the world when they start getting introduced. The difference is that some disabled people literally cannot play when you have a choice. And ranting, on multiple forums, about how accommodations will ruin your hypothetical competitive game that doesn’t even exist yet!

        And games are not the only scenario, I see a similar attitude in every instance where disabled people are granted accomodations.

        You want accomodations to not exist in certain scenarios. Your comment was clear.

          You’re not engaging with what I’m actually saying. I’m not saying accomodations are ruining my life.

          It feels to me like what you’re saying is that “Accommodations” has an unbound scope. Anything and everything can be changed in the name of accommodations. Double your health in street fighter? Fine. See the other players hands in Poker. Sure. Turn on slow-mo in Quake9? Well okay.

          And any of those things might be fine and fun if everyone playing agrees. Maybe you’re new at poker and I want to show one of my cards as a boost to you, the rookie. But for you to walk into a game and be like “yo I need to see your cards to play” seems egregious.

          Maybe that’s not what you meant.

          Maybe for you this is a “for me it was Tuesday.” You’ve possibly spent your whole life arguing with assholes like me who can just take their presumably abled asses and just walk away when it’s no longer interesting to them. I’m sorry for your struggles and injustices. You don’t really owe me anything.
