A good example is Hardcoregaming101. I like the site for its in-depth articles on obscure old games, but when they updated the software their website runs on, or something, they had to redesign it and now it looks like one of those terrible modern sites where everything is too big and clunky and has a shitty layout. To top it off, they even lost some functionalities compared to the old style!

Modern: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/
A backup of the old site: https://hg101.kontek.net/

The original layout is sadly broken on the backed up old site, but here's an article accessed with the Wayback Machine for comparison:

https://web.archive.org/web/20160225184706/http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/tao/tao.htm

Simple and elegant design. Screenshots are on the right side. Navigation is at the top. The bottom has a "Discuss on Fourms" and "Back to Index" link so you can quickly access either the forum thread or the site's index. It's all very functional, and the layout is simple and easy to read.

It looks much, much better than the new design.

And this is happening to almost every website these days.

Codex 2016 - The Age of Grimoire Codex+ Now Streaming! Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit. Pathfinder: Wrath
I understand. I'm not struggling with that. When someone is a total newcomer, I assume that even fundamentals are not a given.

Which is why I made the point about Portal introducing new rules and elements very slowly and gradually. Beginning with something as basic as looking, before the game will even let you move

I don't think even that matters, all it takes is for the person to take an interest in the game and they will put in the effort. I think he got it right in this sentence, before the "how to finagle your wombyn into games" tangent. I just noticed he wanted to use that concept but didn't remember the name for it.

Videogames aren't voodoo magic. Adults can learn to operate 1-ton missiles made of steel and plastic moving at 90km/h zooming past each other separated by a dotted line. I'm sure they can pick up videogames, it just takes time and giving half a shit.

Maybe the executioner should've made a build that isn't shit.

E: honestly this reminds me of that awful video about Morrowind's combat
