A winning conversation

The enough time rule is nonsense. For example the game KotOR was released like 20 years ago but you still wouldn't want to get the cool plotwist spoiled.

Hence the second clause - only discuss when relevant. But if the topic is relevant and others spoiled you can’t be so selfish that you expect everyone else to dance around it.

Idk, it's not to hard to beware of accidentaly not marking spoilers. Basic internet etiquette.

Only tangentially related, but the hero's sister in Fable I. I actually chose to kill her to get the sword, only to later find out that The Lost Chapters version of the game has an even more powerful sword. I am a monster... Though I did have a real hard time deciding.

How did strafing do either of these things? These games were fucking awesome anyway

Because it was such a quality of life increase but completely nullified any difficulty from every monster because you'd just strafe jump around dodging all of their projectiles while shooting them with accurate fire the whole time.
