let’s make timed missions and give people anxiety

From now I will include an easy mode in all of my games that gives you infinite health, infinite ammo, and infinite time, but has a loud crying baby in the soundtrack.

Let’s add some challenge to this gameplay, since that’s what people are here for.

Oh my god. Literally SHUT THE FUCK UP. Some of us have anxiety SPECIFICALLY LINKED to timed exercises. I have had panic attacks because of games before. Hands shaking, irrational anger, wanting to throw up. Don’t you dare tell me I’m overreacting either, because there’s a reason why I hate timed things and why it causes anxiety. If we don’t like it, we have a right to complain.

We also need to stop judging people on how they enjoy a game.

Then go play Candy Crush or the Sims, gosh. The world’s not going to change itself to accommodate your mental illness, you are the one who has to get therapy and work on lessening those severe reactions to normal everyday things.

Yeah let’s just get rid of handicap spots in parking lots and those motorized scooters in grocery stores because if the world won’t accommodate things for mental illness, then why would it accommodate people with physical illnesses? Let’s just get rid of hospitals! They were the ones who got sick, they shouldn’t have gotten themselves into that situation. Mental illness is just as important to be aware of as physical illness. Get of your high horse and do some research please.

No. They are not saying get rid of easy games they are suggesting that we CHANGE a hard game because someone that cant handle it wants it easier. There are LOADS of games out there. Easy and hard. This person isnt fighting for “the existance of handicap parking spots,” he’s fighting for the elimination of non-handicap because “fuck everyone that wants a hard game I have anxiety and i want to play this hard game so make it easy.”

dang. ya squishy tumblr kids need a helpin of 

“timed missions in video games are the same as getting rid of handicap spots and hospitals”

holy shit

Tumblr users…

If timed missions give you anxiety and general challenge causes panic attacks, you shouldn’t be playing difficult games. Put your mental health above all else and play something more suited to it. Like viva pinata which is nice and relaxing and fun.

Timed Missions are still a thing? Usually those are saved for the big escape sequences, and give you tons of time to make it. One game I can think of that did that was Treasure Planet, and that was essentially a race along a death course at super high speeds and I remember as being really frustrating but super rewarding to beat. 

Metroid fusion had a nice timed mission where you had to get from the bottom of the station to your ship and fight the metroid before the time ran out. it was intense and fun. Also, phantom pain has at least one timed mission but that’s a “complete as many objectives as you can before the time runs out” mission.
