Some people get pissed at the suggestion it should have an easier mode

Do they really though? Or are you just imagining the people you argue with online in the least charitable light?

seeth over it for some reason

I told you what that reason was though, and you ignore it in favour of imagining strangers as entirely unreasonable antagonists.

wished there was an easier mode

Okay, that's a completely different issue though. The reason that difficulty selection gets push back is because developers are often very lazy in how they implement it, and it makes the "hard" modes little more than an exercise in tedium rather than an actual challenge. So people who enjoy the Dark Souls style games tend to get protective over one of the very few significant titles which scratches that itch these days. There are a wealth of significantly easier games to explore (and frankly better, too, unless you are there for the challenge).

I'm just surprised some people care. If you want to play with rules for limited saving that go beyond what the game is programmed to do, good for you champ, but some people enjoy playing all of the systems for their maximum advantage, and even more simply do not care.

You're not kidding. All social media right now is plagued by extremists who only seem to know how to fight. Even when they lack any real purpose for it they go looking for one.

Bring back support for Windows 7 and Windows 10 will die overnight.

Can we stop trying to pretend that the Internet is supposed to be some sort of bastion of truth so we can actually use it again, instead of watching corporation after corporation completely fail to grasp the basic nature of the technology?

Money is what we all agree represents value

Well, that's what it's supposed to be, but in today's digital world it is increasingly becoming only what a small handful of people agree represents value.

I think they are just bad at their jobs.

There are a huge number of aspired investigative journalists who weren't good enough, and ended up writing niche interest pieces for hobbyist publications they don't actually care much about. This was the reason there was such a commotion over game's journalism around 2015, but the same problems exist elsewhere too.

Only reason people even need money is because we actively destroy the spaces we would need to live on the land without it.
