Is it really elitism to say someone didn't really beat a game if they used Savestates bluntly? yes i think people get caught up with the negative connotations of certain words, and get surprised when those words apply to situations they don't find overly negative* you can absolutely say it's different from beating the game without save states, or that the player didn't beat it the way the devs originally intended, but leaving out those qualifiers is for sure elitist on a separate note, i kind of enjoy witnessing speedrunning communities decide which glitches are okay, which aren't, and which merit a separate category the big word this applies to is "ignorant". we normally associate "ignorant" with "willfully incurious or malicious", but its actual definition is closer to "hasn't learned everything yet". "selfish" is a little tougher, but sometimes it is 100% good and necessary for someone to be selfish, and take a day off of work when they aren't feeling well --- You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.* <cite>banananor posted [p:966067706] in Are there ...
