:: spoiler Tap for spoiler He dies from tuberculosis contracted earlier in the game. :::

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 62 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Maybe some spoiler markup would be cool.

[–] ExplosiveLynx@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Bro you are reading a post asking about what happens in the game. Of course it's a spoiler.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I thought it was some kind of game mechanic or something else that they didn't understand. I didn't think it would be this spoiled. 🤷‍♂️

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

To be fair, you find out about half way into the game.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

So it's literally a pivotal plot point

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Haven't played it yet though.

SpoilerNot hard to do. Supported by most clients.

[–] kernelle@0d.gs 4 points 2 weeks ago

Can't believe how many people are defending this obvious misuse of the spoiler tag lmao

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I was about to play that game

collapsed inline media
your spoiler warning doesn't work if you can see the text while reading the warning

I finally get a computer that can run it and I get the ending spoiled immediately, thanks god

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

The good news is, this isn't much of a spoiler. The game shows this part coming from miles away. You learn about the disease probably like 3/4ths through the game. It's part of the ending, but it isn't what makes the story good.

[–] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Me too. I have a wife and kids, and a 50 hour a week job. Been plugging away sporadically for a year. It's not the spoiler that bothers me, it's the "it's a blah blah year old game why haven't you finished it yet etc etc"

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

I've played it, but yeah, 7 years isn't that long. If it were like 20 then yeah, people probably have already played it or weren't going to —though still, there will be some new people, either younger people or curious people, so not an excuse to spoil it. 7 is still recent enough that people are still going to be new to the game.

[–] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Goddamn it dude. Not everyone has played the thing. This is just bad form.

[–] Marafon@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Lmfao it's been almost 7 years

[–] Graphy@lemmy.world 50 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Not only that, but to reach this point in the post, you would’ve read the meme that heavily implies something bad happens. If that didn’t deter you from continuing, you read the above comment that was asking for someone to further explain the meme.

If you still needed a spoiler tag after all that then what are we doing here people

When Team Fortress 2 Episode 1 releases

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

A couple years back when I switched to Linux

[–] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't have the money to buy everything when it comes out, let alone the time. I caught rdr2 on sale and have been plugging away. It's not the spoilers, it's smug people like you.

[–] Marafon@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who said I bought it? Where there's a will there's a way, man. You do you.

Thanks man, I feel better

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca -3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Bad form indeed. Ruined it for me.

[–] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world -4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Me too. Smug pricks, some people actually touch grass.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I love the hive mind coming out of the wood work to downvote comments just because someone else has. I've noticed that often here. It was especially bad on Reddit. They see a zero or a negative one and have to put their unreasoned stamp on it too.

I bought the game a couple months ago and have put maybe 6 hrs into it so far so yeah, having someone spoil a part of the plot just because the game has been out for a while is fucking shitty.

[–] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just down voted you after someone. Must be the hive mind.

[–] Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can make a proper spoiler message this way:

Some text here, whatever. Click here.
The actual spoiler content here
It won't be visible until you click the spoiler thing open.

And this is what it will look like:

Some text here, whatever. Click here.
The actual spoiler content here
It won't be visible until you click the spoiler thing open.

Could you be so kind and edit your message, making the spoiler look that way?

Thank you for being awesome! ❤️

Mistakes happen. The important thing is to learn from them, and you clearly know how to do that. Cool!

Thanks for the massive up votes, as well. Been plugging away on my free time. One of the most story-driven games of the decade. Thanks guys. I knew he died at the end, but not the cause.
