I think a lot of the time this is a practicality thing with characters who only speak in dialogue choices, as a way of allowing the character to talk without awkwardly pulling control away from the player. If the character needs to speak, especially when there's no voice, they choose between A and A
Please…. I’m begging you… if your game has a dialogue choice… and all the answers say the same thing in a different way…. You can just remove the dialogue choice……

I lost my job in August and this past Sunday my furnace stopped working. My house was 41 degrees for a day and a half. If anyone can spare some money or spread this around, that'd be awesome.

I've heard a lot of hate for the paladin quests in FF14 (haven't gotten to them yet) but I don't think people insult the gladiator quests enough. it's a bunch of people I don't know fighting about something that happened 7 years ago that they won't tell me about. I just want to fight in the coliseum

I started watching Jahara's Kingdom Hearts playthroughs after I saw the clip of her reaction to Sephiroth. one of the first things she says while playing KH1 is "I'm not an easy crier" and about a minute later she sees Tidus and bursts into tears. sometimes it's just like that
I’ve received infinitely more joy from watching this streamer react to legends ZA than I ever would have from playing it myself

I've watched a lot of acts on Fool Us and sometimes they're not that good, but I think this is the first time I've ever stopped watching partway through. Why is this act mostly an ugly ass AI video? He comes out, does one trick, then leaves to play more of the video. Horrible youtu.be/d88m67c-rYw

Once again gonna recommend the QAA podcast where people who worked with him on a cop show had to constantly tell him that he couldn’t actually do what the character did (like beating people) and that he had to pretend instead of doing it for real

I don't think I've ever soured on a game faster than when I learned that the characters in Octopath Traveler don't talk to each other. when I heard about the RPG with eight characters each with their own stories I said "oh cool so they have fun banter and all the stories come together" nope! neither

If you only knew the history, you'd be cheering for the systematic murder of children. Thank you for saying it, Hillary. Context is so important
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
