It's not that they aren't an example, but a bad example. Even as a fan of isekai and someone who doesn’t mind the trope, I know how much hate Gary Stus get. Mention Kirito to anyone other than an unapologetic SAO lover and watch them convulse.
Your point is adding fancy words to make something sound smarter, likely screwing someone along the way, if the track record of the use of "paradigms" is any indication. It's okay to let at least some things stay simple. If someone broke into my home, I wouldn't call the cops and report a "spry possession-reappropriating malcontent", I'd report a thief. Same with crypto, I wouldn't report a "financial savant", I'd report a money launderer. You see, sometimes adding fancy, unneeded words to something does nothing but make you sound like a pretentious tool.
It's really not proving much of anything. These new "concepts" and "paradigms" are nothing more than buzzwords thrown onto old concepts. Every scam is a scam that's been done before even if there's a new layer of glittery wrapping paper over it. Who're you trying to convince more, the potential suckers or yourself?
Depends on the approach. All the Linux users that jump into a post asking for advice specifically for Windows and feel the need to scream "LINUX" in people's faces are obnoxious and can fuck off.
Absolutely this. I have to admit I'm seeing some things I like in Shadows much more akin to what we should have been having for the past decade but I just don't trust Ubisoft anymore and even on Deaths' door they can't let the corpo scummery go and I refuse to have Uplay or Denuvo infect my computer so I'll not play it until it's been broken.
Is it still up? The link won't open in f-droid nor does search find it for me.
