I'm out of the loop, is it just someone being completely oblivious to the large coal plant in the background, or does the character have like a chronic illness causing them to cough?

  • spoiler hidden by popular demand

:: 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.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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"

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

[–] Marafon@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 weeks ago (5 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

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Spoiler rules remain valid for 1 generation

When Team Fortress 2 Episode 1 releases

(Spoilers)
Yep a very classic one of the time you may click in the link at the risk of spoilers.

[–] CTDummy@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Further less serious spoilers

Tap for spoilerMicah can kill you in one of the endings? I knew I should have shot that piece of shit.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 96 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

A cough in a movie means the character is going to die, always.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

And if a woman throws up in the morning, she's 100% pregnant.^1^

^1^ Unless the vomit comes directly after a scene of heavy drinking.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

The two things aren't mutually exclusive (even though they should be)

Millions of diseases and every movie is coughs blood

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

And if a character of childbearing age and physique is nauseous, they're pregnant.

[–] thirteene@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

chekovs cough

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 37 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

If you don't know by now, that's on you. Should we also not spoil the Bible? Jesus dies halfway through.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You little shit I was getting to that chapter. What's the point of reading it anymore. Thanks a lot!

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't worry he gets better.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 2 weeks ago

No, Jesus doesn't fuck Christ, you'd know if you read the book

[–] bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does he die on camera though?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

He does in at least one of the movies adapted from the book.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's funny all the comments say "spoilers (the spoiler)" but none just say what the game is so i can find out for myself

[–] asceticism@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Red Dead Redemption 2. At least I'm assuming it's the second one. I've never played either.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago
[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

Had it spoiled for me by reading the trivia section of a wiki page.
