    For Razor; they know that they won't get the pause feature if they simply ask for it, so they have to "justify" asking for it with words like "disability" because that puts a certain sort of pressure on the developer. I can even understand the desire for a pause button in these games but using these underhanded tactics to beg for it makes me hope they just don't get it out of spite.

    So, lets analyze this a little more. She made a video on her channel that she launched yesterday saying, in her words “I am not straight.” She obviously, like many people these days see children as a possession rather than a life that has needs. How does she consider parenting and parenthood as a disability? That means she may not truly value the life of the child over her time to indulge herself. This shows a lack of self awareness and faith. This is what is great about freedom of speech. You’re free to sound stupid. It’s so wonderful to know where she stands on this. What a terrible person. Don’t have a child or adopt a vhild unless you plan to give them your 100%. Life is precious, and not everyone has the ability to be a parent.

She had an awkward word choice. So what? Many people have an awkward word choice in conversations every day. There's no reason for anyone to get upset over this, and if anything, the only explanation I can muster is that woke culture has so infected their (places like SideScrollers and Geeks + Gamers) minds that they can only view things through those woke-colored glasses now.

      If she's playing a game while her child is sleeping, and her child wakes up because the child wants something, she needs to be able to pause the game so that she can get that something for her child, so the child can go back to sleep.

    I completely agree with Craig. Calling parenthood a "disability" is demonizing the existence of kids. Parenting is a challenge. Parenting is a responsibility. But neither of those make it a disability. We need to call out people when they want to redefine words to mean whatever they want. And to Razor's point, yes, she needs to just say she wants these modes. I live a busy life, and I want shorter games. I've jokingly said there needs to be a "Busy dad mode" in games that allows me to beat a game in 4 to 6 hours, but I'm not making a 15 min video trying to sound smart about it. 3rd point, she's so obsessed with external validation from random strangers online. Why is she so worked up about taking a screenshot of the end credits to show everyone she beat a game? Is this normal? No one cares that she beat a game. Her quest for validation is just silly.

    This entire stupid accesibility debate again... Everytime something from software related happens. It's old and tired at this point.
    To make it short, not every game has to be made for you. And... Difficulty is an important part of game design.
    Imagine you change an artwork because it's a little NSFW (think nude art from the antique) and now children can also enjoy that artwork.
    But it's not the same artwork anymore, so the experience they have is entirely different from what the author intended.
    Lowering the difficulty in elden ring by enabling easy mode is exactly that, you're not actually playing the same game, you're playing some other game instead.
    Overcoming difficulty is such an important part of the design of these games, miyazaki himself said so, taking that away would make the game pointless.
    On top of that, the entire souls genre wouldn't exist if it wasn't for these games being difficult. That's how demon souls, a game that sold poorly at first, became a hidden gem and had people talk about it years after most other games would be dead. That's how dark souls got to be such a big game, the difficulty. If it wasn't for that these games would have just been mediocre action RPGs. Another one in a sea of millions. Suggesting easy mode means to just blend in with the masses, why would from software want that?
    These people don't understand the impact difficulty has on your experience. On the other end we have games that basically play themselves, interactive movies almost. If you make them difficult for some reason, you'll break the pacing of the game and ruin the story. Every game has one ideal difficulty, and that's the way the designers intended the game to be played. One fixed difficulty is the best, regardless wether or not it's "I wanna be the boshy" hard or "kirby epic yarn" easy.
    For every game that's too hard for you, there's a million others to fill that gap. There's no shortage of games. More than you can play in 10 lifetimes. They just want to be part of the current hype game. That's how shallow these people are. Souls games create lots of hype all the time, and they can't stand it if they feel left out. And appearently sucking it up and actually trying for once isn't an option. It's not like souls games are all that difficult to begin with.
