the way you argue someone into submission is 1. you let them talk 2. you watch their behavior 3. you cover and monitor all the exits 4. you modify all the corridors according to your predictions of their behavior 5. you subtly bait them toward the way you want them to go, making sure to make everything you say be reasonable and open-minded 6. while doing # 5 be very wary of any changes in behavior and reaction patterns and be ready to redo/reroute the corridors based on those, possibly including giving them a graceful exit if it is honorable to do so 7. if the arguer continues to prattle along with 'eir shitty argument, lead them gradually into a trap 8. tear their argument limb from limb with no escape. at this point, you have the upper hand and unless they say very specific things, they can't get out
The misuse of "deconstruction" irritates me because of the sheer disconnect between the critical term and the popular one, they're not really anything to do with one another
i believe it came about because people called Watchmen a "deconstruction", which it arguably is, and people misunderstood what was meant by that
This is pretty much what happened, yes. Actually deconstructing something through a work of fiction in the lit-crit sense is complicated, and depending on how you're defining your terms, Watchmen certainly does it, but the whole "BUT WHAT IF IT WERE REAL, GUYS?!?!" thing is only one facet of the whole package.
Any solid hit will cause the creature to save vs. Poison. Failure indicates that he loses his balance and falls from the wall. This will shatter Humpty Dumpty, and inside of his remains will be nine smaller-eggs. Five of these ovoids are magical eggs of desire (see Magic Items section, p. 32). The other four are: 1 egg containing a cloudkill (no movement, just cloud of poisonous fumes as per spell) 1 egg of stinking cloud (as per spell) 1 egg of fogcloud (as per spell) 1 egg of disintegration (as per spell at 12th level) Each of these eggs looks alike, and the party will have no idea what it does until it is broken. The four spell-power eggs can be hurled by hand up to 4' distance. If slung, they will have the same range as a sling stone. Upon breaking, Humpty Dumpty will automatically summon "all the King's horses, and all the King's men." 24 Woolly Rhinoceros (AC 5; MV12"; HD10; hp 60 each; #AT 1; D 2-12; SA charge does double damage and tramples for 2-8 per foreleg. SD 25% magic resistance). 72 Frost Giants (AC3; MV 12"; HD 10+1-4; hp64each; #AT 1; D4-24;SA hurl rocks for 2-20 points damage; SD impervious to cold, 25% magic resistance). When Humpty falls the party will have three rounds to react to the opportunity to loot. Immediately thereafter, on round four, the 24 rhinos and 72 giants will come on the scene. This mass will issue forth from a gate that suddenly appears in the wall. They will be about 100' or so from the party and massed to face them. The animals are caparisoned in red, with white king's crowns scattered on the field of the cloth. The giants are clad in silvery cloth surcoats, with a deep red crown emblem on the chest of this garment. Each mounted frost giant bears a lance with a red and white banner on it. The group afoot have bardiche-like axes of huge proportion. From those mounted giants one will ride a bit forward and state: "We come on the King's business to put Humpty Dumpty together!" If the party has any of the inner eggs, the giant will continue: "Put back those potions of the Exalted Eggcellency which you have taken! Get from this place immediately, or we will have to slay you all!" The whole troop is an illusion. Lurking near the secret door is the individual who is responsible for the trick, a King's Messenger.

exceptions will be approved on a case by case basis
1. you let them talk
2. you watch their behavior
3. you cover and monitor all the exits
4. you modify all the corridors according to your predictions of their behavior
5. you subtly bait them toward the way you want them to go, making sure to make everything you say be reasonable and open-minded
6. while doing # 5 be very wary of any changes in behavior and reaction patterns and be ready to redo/reroute the corridors based on those, possibly including giving them a graceful exit if it is honorable to do so
7. if the arguer continues to prattle along with 'eir shitty argument, lead them gradually into a trap
8. tear their argument limb from limb with no escape. at this point, you have the upper hand and unless they say very specific things, they can't get out

No, I just want a hack-n-slash arena battler with easy-to-learn controls and bright and vibrant visuals. I don't need you extolling the weeb virtues.
Stop caring about Steam's item economy.
Buy games. Play games. Avoid getting involved with item trading or selling.
Steam's item economy is a load of shit anyway. Any microtransaction trading-based economy is.
Buy games. Play games. Disregard transferable virtual items.
This is why DRM-free and self-contained games are better.
