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?

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

Maybe some spoiler markup would be cool.

[–] ExplosiveLynx@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months 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 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 months ago (2 children)

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

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

So it's literally a pivotal plot point

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

Haven't played it yet though.

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

SpoilerNot hard to do. Supported by most clients.

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

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

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 months 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 months 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 months ago (5 children)

Lmfao it's been almost 7 years

[–] Graphy@lemmy.world 50 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 months ago (1 children)

Spoiler rules remain valid for 1 generation

(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 months 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 months ago (3 children)

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

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

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

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

chekovs cough

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 37 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 months 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 months ago (1 children)

Don't worry he gets better.

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

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

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

Does he die on camera though?

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

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

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 months 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 months 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 months ago
[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

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