Thanks for the explanation, although I don't find it a particularly acceptable one. The sequence wasn't funny enough to justify the dramatic shift in tone in an otherwise family-friendly game, IMO. Also, making the protagonists unlikable in a game where you're supposed to find them sympathetic is a very weird design decision.
Yeah, that part was a distinct bum note in an otherwise enjoyable game. Why the developers thought it was good idea, I'll never know.
According to research, the space between letters is more important for people with reading disabilities than rotational distinction.
Typefaces may affect web accessibility, but if you want to provide a better experience for readers, Comic Sans isn’t the only option. The best practice is to use a widely available font with no extra decorations or flourishes.
In addition to Comic Sans, the British Dyslexia Association recommends Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Century Gothic, Trebuchet, Calibri, and Open Sans.

As are many other sans serif typefaces.
I'm not defending Biden, but the view that Trump would be any less prepared to keep sending Israel weapons is utterly baseless. He wouldn't even pretend to care about the Palestinians, for one thing.
It's acceptable in the following contexts:
- In a comic
- In content designed for children
That's pretty much it.
Furiosa has a few major challenges up against it, really:
- Its running time is longer than the average Blockbuster
- it's R rated and violent
- Mad Max is a fairly niche IP to begin with
- It's a backstory for a secondary (albeit important) character from Fury Road
- People are feeling the pinch financially right now
Having Tom Hardy playing Max as the main character might have bumped the opening weekend Box Office a bit, but not hugely IMO.
And the award for the dumbest take of the thread goes to ∆
I'd argue it's the opposite. To most of the people who attacked the encampment, Palestinians are just some faceless brown Arab people half a world away, whereas the protesters are the SJW/Marxist/Anti-Americans who are ruining America.
The former, they are more or less indifferent to; the latter, they really hate.
Hoo boy, I can't wait to see how the State Department try to spin this one.
Edit: who am I kidding? It will be "Israel has admitted this was a mistake and we believe they remain committed to minimizing civilian casualties".
Edit2: Ah, no. Turns out they instead played the "We are waiting for the results of Israel's investigation into its own actions" card. Was a 50/50 chance.
My favorite way to tackle these rooms requires a little prep:
- Stand back from the door and throw a random object to keep it open
- Step on a swiftthistle or otherwise activate hourglass trinket to freeze time
- Toss a potion of paralysis into the centre of the room, immediately followed by a potion of toxic gas and then a a liquid flame for good measure
- Wait for time to come back and watch the damage meters/kill messages go brrrrrrr.
If all goes well, you should only have one of two stragglers left at the end to finish off, if at all.
The issue isn't the use of conflict as a dramatic device per se; it is essentially forcing the player(s) to perform a seemingly unnecessary and unpleasant action against their will.
The fact that both main characters in the game appear to immediately decide that violently murdering their child's favorite toy is the only course of action and that no alternative is offered is really jarring. Giving the player some agency in choosing an alternative way to to go about it would have solved the problem completely.
