TV personality and former mixed martial artist Bobby Olugun has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting his wife.

According to police, Nigerian-born Olugun, 54, who has Japanese citizenship, is accused of assaulting his 46-year-old Japanese wife, by hitting her in the face at their home in Urawa Saitama City on Saturday morning, Fuji TV reported. Oluguns wife called 110 at around 11:50 a.m. and said her husband had beaten her.

Police said Olugun has denied the charge. Police said his wife was not seriously injured. She was quoted by police as saying her husband struck her after she rebuked him for opening a letter addressed to her.

Olugun and his wife have three children who were home at the home but none of them were hurt, police said.

You didn't explain why at all. You just said "Because it is" and that you would be angry if other people had fun playing it

You didn't have any reasoning at all.

What? The maxim for any game is it is the gamer's experience with[in] the developer's design.

There are three things that always should be set or modified only by the gamer: 1) controls mapping; 2) manual save; 3) camera position.

Developers can include other game designs or mechanics, but excluding, altering, obstructing, or abducting the gamer's experience settings violates gamer autonomy basics.
.

Edit: Everything else in the game is at the developer's discretion.

nobody is saying it's not

they're asking why

and no Dark Souls fan can ever explain that

like you they just go "cuz it is!"

I always felt like the entire premise of the games, that make it special, is testing your own selfishness and making you constantly choose risk/reward or pass something over and progress a bit more. You are nearly dead, no estus flasks left, there's three enemies between you and the glowing ball on the corpse in the distance. Are you going to risk death, lose what you have, start back over from your last save to do it again? Are you gonna head back, play it safe, save, and approach it differently, or is it even worth going deeper instead of progressing ahead to the next bonfire? It's a mental challenge constantly, with tough decisions.

You make it easy, then it's just another Fable, or Witcher, or every single other 3rd person RPG that you have played 500 times before. Those decisions don't exist because it's just easy to kill through, collect everything, and move on with little effort. That's not the intention of the game, and while there are hundreds of games like each other, it did something different to set itself apart and killing it's identity kills it's originality. It is a series that does it different, that that shouldn't change. There's no reason to cave on the concept to make it appeal to the people who don't want to put in the effort.

Sorry if that makes me sound like an elitist, I usually despise hard games, Ninja Gaiden can fuck off. The reason why I stuck it out through Dark Souls, with the initial intention of hating it and rage quitting it forever after a couple hours, was the risk/reward, the discovery and the fact that it was challenging but not unfair. I've been playing games since Atari and it stood out so much because it made me feel excitement and accomplishment in a game which is rare anymore. If it had an easy mode, I would have played it through and been like "Yeah, that was okay" and never thought about it again.

This argument falls entirely part by one word

"optional"

Sure you're right, if they made the game easy for everyone, that would suck.

But nothing you just ranted about goes away by an optional easy mode someone choose. Just like nothing went away because someone modded the game or turned the brightness up to make it easier for them. You still had that experiene.

You picking the easy mode and then complaining it's too easy falls on you. It's an excuse.

"The game had volume controls so I had to play it on mute and it sucked. Therefore the game needs to not have volume controls!" is dumb.

Dark Souls does its best to have every part of it focused on its goals as a game and its themes. Its why theres an explanation for just about every game mechanic. You respawn at bonfires because youre undead. You see the phantoms of other players because of ripples in time. Items are placed carefully to reveal stories. Etc. etc. Similarly, when enemies kill you, they dont gloat over your corpse or laugh, they turn their asses around and walk back to where they were before. They do this because you are insignificant, they dont care about you, and this is used to show a cold, harsh, dreary world. As with all these other things, Dark Souls is difficult also to get across this point. This world is brutal. But through patience, perseverance, and sometimes a little help from the kindness of strangers, you can come out the other side. Therefore: it is hard in order to show this point, not just for the sake of it.

So what's your point?

That's still there if there's an easy option and for the people who take the option the experience is the same.

So: easy mode. Easy mode would dilute this theme

How?

Instead, if you want to win you need to do it the hard way and then, when it happens, huge swathes of people walk away raving about the game. Just see its dedicated fan base.

The Darks Souls fanbase is one of the most toxic in all of gaming...

This topic alone demonstrates that and you're not even hardcore fans.

People would be praising Dark Souls because it's a good game either way. If it had an optional easy mode more people would walk away praising it.

You also don't, people use mods and trainers all the time. None of them have ever effected your enjoyment of the game or the fanbase. It's such a nonsense excuse.

Multiple times it has been explained to you

No it hasn't.

Just "It is the way it is." No actual explanation. You've now added "It wouldn't be the same with that option" but provided no explanation either.

but then you just ignore it or say something about subtitles and volume controls.

Because it's the same thing.

As I said - accessibility relates to ones ability to play a game - the developer has no obligation to the consumer,

Again an excuse, not an explantion.

"The developer has no obligiation to do it." is not a reason to oppose it.

The developer has no obligation to not program the game to crash ever 13 minutes. But it would dumb to program the game to do that and you should ask why they want to.

Audio and subtitles is about the ability to experience it at all.

Disagree. They are fundamental which is why all modern games have them. Contrast and brightness too. If you can't see or hear a game, it's hard or impossible to play.

The options are for the player to tailor so they have a much better experience.

There is no difference between an easy mode and subtitle/volume/contrast/brightness options.

Hell you have the option in Dark Souls 2 (pre Scholar) to just turn the brightness and contrast up and never be in the dark. Did that option ruin the game for you? No you just didn't do it.

So why no easy mode - because this way there is only one path to achieve the challenge. With one path, the challenge is more or less the same for everyone, all the little phantoms in the cold cold world, that you see as you play, you know theyre going through the same thing. Its the same for everyone. Its about overcoming that challenge.

None of that goes away because there's an optional easy mode. You still get all of that.

You're argument amounts to "People playing on easy won't have the same experience I did, therefore it's wrong" but you can't explain why it's wrong.

Everyone still has the same path you had unless they choose to play on easy. Same as everyone had the same path you had unless they turned the volume up louder so they could hear things.

I feel like at this point youll still come back and say I havent answered the why.

Well that's because you haven't.

I never can fully satisfy that

Well admitting it is the first step

The second is not being opposed to options in video games.

because when you drill down into the reasons it becomes a difference of opinion as to whether that stuff is important and to what degree different modes affect the core experience. At the end of the day, FromSoftware made a creative decision

This isn't an opinion thing. The question was "Why?"

You've gone right back to the excuse of "Because they said so."

Okay but "Why"?

That's not an opinion, it's a question. One you have no explanation for. Just "because it is!"

Summoning is meant to be OP

Summoning is the "If you're stuck on this boss you can always...." option. That's why it has a Stigma among fans.

If Summoning wasn't OP then it would be completely pointless. It would be like Lulu's overdrive in FFX.

I couldn't find Flowery anywhere.

So it turns out the plot of this game is a nerdy quiet kid who lives in the shadow of a successful brother played DnD with a poor ugly girl from an abusive family that no one likes.

Seems rather anticlimatic really <_<

I think I get the ending. The original fallen from Undertale murdered everyone in a genocide playthrough and is now posessing this kid (which is why everyone says he's acting differently) and is now going to kill everyone in this world too because lulz.

Although I don't get the implication that this happened before, with the cage and stain and everything. What does Kris get possessed every night and return every morning?

Kind of a boring game and not much to it but I think it's probably got some better background details than Undertale did. A lot of show don't tell going on

It is estimated that a child goes missing in India every eight minutes. Many are trafficked as part of a nationwide trade which is separating children from their families.

Millions end up in forced labour, domestic slavery and sex work, in whats become a lucrative industry.

But despite this, it rarely dominates headlines, theres little public outrage, or political will to end it.

A man who was asked to look after his neighbours' pets for three weeks has revealed that a year later, they still haven't returned to pick them up.

They asked him and his wife to keep an eye on their house and pets whilst they visited the man's dying mother in Taiwan, giving them $500, for food for their two German Shepherds and their cat.

But, after a year they still hadn't come home.

The man said: "I don't know what happened to them, but they just never came back. I don't know if they ended up in some sort of prison, or decided to just not come home at all. Today I found out their basement had flooded, probably sometime within the last week.

Apparently a pipe burst, but the entire basement is completely f*****. I paid for have the leak fixed, and I spent all of today using my shop vac to drain their basement to the best of my abilities.

Between this and one of their dogs needing surgery I have spent several thousand dollars of my own money, and frankly the damage to the basement was pretty awful. I don't have their insurance paperwork, and don't really know if i can even do a claim for them."

But after a year of looking after two big dogs as well as a cat, things got a little too much to handle, so they tried to track them down.

Unfortunately their surname was extremely common and their Facebook profiles were private which meant they had no way of contacting them, he explained that he took users advice to go to the police, which resulted in a phone call from the couple who said they just decided to stay with friends and family longer than they

They also said that they had asked his wife's brother to collect the animals months before but apparently he never followed up on it.

"He apparently can no longer access his email, and passed me along a new email address/phone number I can use to contact him. But told me he doesn't have plans to return to Canada anytime soon."

The neighbour then gave him two options, they could either keep the animals or try to have them collected again and even offered them money to settle the inconvenience.

He concluded the post by saying: "Anyways me and my wife are going to keep the pets simply because well i don't think ether of us can part with the dogs and his cat at this point."

Toast is a pretty simple thing to whip up - there's not really a whole lot that goes into it and you certainly don't have to be a Michelin-starred chef to make it.

But how much would you be willing to pay for the 'ultimate' slice of toast?

A Japanese company named Balmuda have been selling a cult toaster for the last few years, which recently has made it's way over to Amazon. Known simply as The Toaster, the expensive device costs 348.09 and claims to be "the ultimate toaster to achieve the best flavor and texture".

The secret of the toaster is that it uses "unique steam technology" to heat the bread, which the manufacturers say results "in the flavour and texture of freshly-baked bread."

Well apparently a thin layer of steam envelops the bread, lightly toasting its surface, while keeping its inner moisture and flavour from escaping.

All you have to do is put a teaspoon of water into the top of the machine and insert your bread.

It takes care of the rest.

It doesn't look like very many of the toasters have been, with only one review on the site, but people all over the world have been divided over the item for a while.

One person said the toaster was worth the money and easy to use, writing: "Yes, it's pricey, but it makes great toast. It also has other settings for cheese toast and other types of bread and rolls. I bought this for my 85-year old mom."

Another commented: "I was first not sure whether it is worth spending over $300 on a toaster oven - but now that I have used it for a month, this is one of the best purchases I have ever made in my life. The balance between crispness and softness of bagel/toast is really good - my kids immediately noticed that the bagels taste much better compared to the ones toasted in our old conventional two slice toaster."

A third proclaimed it was a "remarkable product" that worked "better than expected".

I dont agree that it is egotism. And it has been explained multiple times, youre just being contrarian or refuse to accept that it can be a matter of opinion.

We're not talking about opinion.

The question was "Why shouldn't it have an optional easy mode?"

"yeah well it DOESN'T"

"Okay but why? What's the reasoning? How does it effect you in any way?"

"THATS JUST THE WAY IT IS! I INSULT YOU!"

There is no actual reason beyond wanting to feel superior to other people. Not a single person including you can drudge up anything except excuses, evasions and insults.
