Rebuttal to what? YOUR definition of “colloquial” usage? The fact remains the same - the DESIGN of Torghast is fine. The SYSTEM is what is being debated.
The OP’s title - “Torghast concept is good, design is poor”. That is incorrect (or at least debatable given that art is subjective). But the OP - and you - are NOT talking about artwork. You are talking about the SYSTEM behind the artwork.
Words have meanings . When used properly they can bolster your opinion/argument. When used incorrectly they make you appear ignorant.
Kinda like the Brazilians that scream “racism” because some English speaking folks do not like to group with them. While that might be bigoted, it is NOT racist. “Brazilian” is not a race.
This… this is you trolling right? No one, and I mean absolutely no one, is talking about the way torghast looks? When a feature and/or system is created it is DESIGNED to function and act a certain way.
So yea you’re right you aren’t a pedant, but you certainly are dumb. No offense of course but this word doesn’t just apply to graphics.
This is an incredibly toxic response to someone who is simply stating their opinion. Not everyone has to think alike, you know? It’s ok for folks to have different opinions.
I don’t know - the person who uses words incorrectly would be the one that I would think is actually “dumb”, not the person who pointed out the incorrect usage of the word.
But the thing is that the word isn’t used incorrectly? I really want to know what definition you’re reading because the one I’m reading says “a plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of a building, garment, or other object before it is built or made.” I’m about 200% certain that blizzard “planed or drew” up a design for how powerups and boss damage ramping would work before it was “built or made”. But if you really want to get down and dirty and be an actual pedant technically the way torghast looks wouldn’t even be a design because it’s the final product.
I whole heartedly disagree. I think they’re being toxic by insisting that everyone (literally) is using a word wrong and are trying to reinforce it by shoving false facts down their throat. Some people just need to be told what they said is stupid or dumb. Doesn’t mean they as a person are.
Torghast is a “good concept” in that Rogue-likes are a good concept, and the “Design is poor” because its actually almost nothing like a Rouge-like and is rather just a long 1-3 hr dungeon instead…
At this point, I believe they are either trolling to derail the thread, or they are ESL – English as Second Language – and I definitely do not mean that as an insult. It would explain, though, why they are so hung-up on one subset definition of a word, and cannot move past the idea that there are multiple uses and applications of the word “design” in this context.
Not to mention that person you’re referring to really has been a rude blowhard this entire thread. ‘Crybaby,’ ‘pathetic,’ and a slew of other remarks. Even if they argue in good faith, it’s hard to believe it with how much that player refers to Svelte as ‘egotistical,’ when you can read what they’re saying… pot meet kettle.
The issue is that what they said isn’t even an opinion. They presented it as a fact when in reality it isn’t correct. Whether you want to be literal or not not a single a person has used the world “design” improperly today.
This is not true, folks just read an opinion like it’s a fact an then go on to blame the person for having said opinion. How can this person control how someone else reads his/her comment?
Because that’s how they presented it multiple times, went on to be rude to people who said they were wrong meanwhile never once stating it’s their opinion. You want something to be treated as an opinion? State that from the start and make it actually seem like it. Otherwise, what’s stopping me from saying anything is an opinion? Such as saying they’re dumb?
