one of the things I really dislike about DOTA2 (the only game generally recognized as an eSport I have ever played, unless one wants to talk about the BOILeR league) is how transparently gamey everything is. There's almost no flavor at all, it's like chess and I'm really not into that.
like there's stuff in the game (creep stacking for instance) that is totally contrary to both immersion and normal game logic, it'd be bad design if it was any other game.

i haven't played it, but this is what i mean, really
i understand it's just a game and that's ok, but generally i want something more, idk, imaginary in my entertainment
Okay, in truth, it was Walter Tirel who shot William Rufus, it wasn't a disease; and there is no such thing as a disease that makes you get an arrow in your lung.
Anyways, I know you guys don't like Tv Tropes, but I really do like the trope Politeness Judo, especially because I am extremely susceptible to it. My parents can make me do practically anything with that.
actually that Shakespeare Wikia comment was inaccurate
a more authentic equivalent wouldn't just consider the words used, it would be a close examination of the oldest published copies of the texts, with rigorous analysis of the shape of every letter on the page
if you don't know how the counters in the letter 'g's on the 17th page of the First Folio version of Twelfth Night differ from those on the 8th page of the Merchant of Venice you're not a true fan
I get the feeling we're talking about two largely different things.
Oh well.
At any rate I feel like a hypocrite anyway because I'm playing Risk of Rain right now which is absurdly gamey, taking some influence from Roguelikes and whatnot.

In Ohio most people say "pop"
But my family says "soda" because my mom grew up in California and picked that up there
Cafe Anglais: A Restaurant where none of the workers have tuberculosis, and the windows are not covered in moss. Also, the floor tiling tessellates! And the food contains matter! The whole place is very structurally sound. You can taste the food when you eat it! It's habitable! All the words are spelled properly! There are chairs so you can sit down! Also, you are statistically unlikely to get run over by a car when you are inside the building!

The floor has no holes and is not slanted! There are restrooms that you don't have to pay money to use! No rats! No mice! No cockroaches! No flies!

In fact, the food contains Zero percent shoelaces by weight! No shoelaces in our food at all! The doorknob is safe to touch! And so is the door! The temperature and air pressure is such so as to be non-lethal to humans! We have breathable air! Cafe Anglais has been rated "Not The Worst Restaurant In The World".. Our staff is one hundred per-cent kidnapper-free! No kidnappers!

this polace is gonna put us out of business chef :(

nobody listens to you if your stop sign says "um if that's ok with you" underneath "STOP"
We pay our employees! With money! That can be used! By exchanging it for goods and services! In the same continent on which we are located! Also, the tables are not made of silly putty and do not stick to your fingers! The door opens both ways, so you can actually exit the building! And it does not lead to a 200 meter drop! The floor has friction, so you can move around! Our food is edible and the surgeon general says it is "safer than smoking cigars".
The joke here is that you could say these things about any restaurant, even the best restaurant; and it would all be true. Cafe Anglais is an actual restaurant that closed in 1913. On second thought, I should have gone with Le Chateaubriand, the Ninth best restaurant in the world.

i would say 'fizzy drinks' but i am not American
fashion is not as hard as video games but failing at it is more likely to get you judged by people with opinions worth caring about
