So hyped for the epilogue!

I agree with you that some people are misguided and expect dark souls to be hard for the sake of being hard. Yes you die a lot but that is part of the game, and dying is not a state of failure but a step in getting better in order to overcome the obstacle.

I have seen people not only beat the game but do a no hit run with guitar hero guitar, dance dance gamepad and even raw potatoes. Making the game easy does not equal to making it 'accessible', but it does break the core gameplay loop. There are ways to make games more accessible in general that doesn't ruin the fun factor. Check out AbleGamers they are doing amazing work helping the community which I think is one of the best ways to go about this issue.

Can I pet that daaaaaaaaaawg

She's not complaining about the skeptisism. The quote is:

"Some people got angry. 'Animals can't talk,' they say. But most of it is not even worth my time," Devine said. "My perspective is you can believe what you want to believe. This is our day-to-day life. I'm not selectively editing; I'm not cherry-picking."

It mentions she is actively cooperating with some professors to understand this phenomena better.

I should pay more attention to names and stuff. I have played and enjoyed half their catalogue and didn't even know it was made by the same devs haha

That was a fun read, thanks for sharing. I appreciate it when the interviewer is prepared and asks interesting questions.

I don't know what to tell you man, sometimes even I wonder if it's worth it at all. Publishing to a journal is such a difficult task. Before submitting your paper you need the approval of two other well-established individuals. Then you send in your paper to your selected journal and each one has some specific format and policies, which many are arbitrary and inthe end of the day depends on the person reviewing your paper. This can take weeks of back and forth.

However if you think you did something noteworthy, as far as I know, this is how you get it in front of the eyes of your peers. Even then there's a chance that your paper gets ignored lol.

So like many others in this thread, I'm not a fan of this process because even though it's strict, a lot of bs still passes through

Wait this is not the same Sarah Andreson, the comic artist, is it?

Well you're not entirely incorrect with that assumption. What we call science today is actually the Scientific Method Which is a much more skeptical approach to science than the earlier methods, hence the credibility. I like many others agree that the fees built into the system is quiet absurd and the process is not perfect, but currently that is the only legit way to get others evaluate your research.

Personally I don't know you so I might be wrong, but based on what you described sounds like you're doing it more as a chore than having fun

Came to comment this lol. Man that scene was brutal

For a whole 2 second when they revealed it, and then..
