Your post, I "read it", but I still don't understand what you are telling OP.

This OP looks like it was made by a pajeet

>>13778719

okay faggot, let's see which has been around longer

Books have been around for literally thousands of years and have stuck with that same format

newspapers have used a similar format to books

news and blog sites are becoming increasingly retarded and they choose to use that kind of spacing

now ask your self why you'd want to emulate a retarded trend, especially one that doesn't actually help considering that usually line breaks means you're jumping to a different thought or point. If you're jumping to a different thought every single line then you have ADHD .

>>13778804

>implying any of that also refers to the common practice and strong implication of thoughts and points changing between line breaks

or are you saying the line breaks are literally pointless and only serve to make your post look "nice" (they don't, they just look fucking obnoxious with how much space it ends up taking)

I had the urge to achievement whore for a few months some years ago, I eventually burned out. If this is a persistent problem then I honestly don't know what to tell you.

>>13778650

Fuck off. You know the input box is tiny and it's perfectly natural to not have the full wide-screen in mind while you're posting, you fucking hypocrite.

>>13779161

> being this new

goddamn standards have dropped lately, and the amount of defending reddit spacing since gaf went down is no coincidence i'm sure

>>13779161

>You know the input box is tiny and it's perfectly natural to

be a fucking faggot?

It's the exact same principle, you're just hitting return/enter a second time. I there there's no benefit to doing it (either aesthetic or psychological), why does EVERY medium not constrained by page limits do it this way? (The exception to this is eBooks, which try to mimic the look of print books as close as possible.)

Every single post you've made has been line-by-line, and it looks like fucking hot garbage. Want to talk about taking up space? >>13778732 could have been a single paragraph, not five separate lines. Imagine how exhausting it would be to read even a short story like that

See how I did that? I made the first paragraph a direct reply to your main point. Then, I hit enter twice to make a second paragraph where I discussed your poor formatting. Finally, I'm writing this third paragraph to illustrate my reasoning. I come up with a main idea, and I separate my thoughts into paragraphs. Clear, intuitive, and readable.

The line break also indicates a turn of thought.

It's good for bullet-pointed lists or greentext

But for expressing one continuous though, it's not good.

You could have saved yourself so many keystrokes if you weren't dropped on your head as an infant.

However, since you're retarded, you spread the same idea across multiple lines.

>why does every medium not constrained by page limits do it this way

Because those mediums are mostly shit-heaps?

>I type like a blogger or online journalist look at how good my posts look, I hit return twice between each literal sentence like an autist desperate to prove something

And you wonder why people think you're from reddit

>>13779368

>Because those mediums are mostly shit-heaps?

Fucking SHAKESPEARE gets extra spacing online. I showed the same content (more or less) across different formats and showed how, given extra breathing room, writers/publishers WILL use it. People handling classic works of literature will give extra spacing when they don't have page counts to worry about. What does that tell you?

Also, calling a medium a shit-heap is not an argument.

>I hit return twice between each literal sentence

<literal

<doesn't know the difference between a sentence and a paragraph

<says spacing after every sentence is bad yet does that in every post

I refuse to believe you're not a troll.

>Reddit spacing is just the term that recently took hold

Nobody ever cared about how people spaced their posts until that image popped up, and now it's in every thread. You're so fucking paranoid about Reddit that you derail threads over ONE extra keystroke. Literally (hey, look, I used it right) nobody in this thread you've accused of Reddit spacing meets the definition of the images YOU posted, you retard. You're closer to it than I am.

You can even create Reddit spacing despite, get this, having never visited when double spacing is how you always do it. You say that doesn't "excuse" it, but you've also offered precisely zero compelling reasons to abandon doublespacing other than "you don't want people to think you're from REDDIT, do you?"

>>13780080

I'm not saying you can't have a one-sentence paragraph dipshit. People do it all the time for comedic timing and, as I did it, emphasis. What I AM saying is that line-after-line-after-line is bad form. They teach you this shit in grade school. You would have been better served pointing out my redtexting. Again, for emphasis:

You are the worst poster I have ever seen on this website, and that is a fucking feat.

If OP is reading this, remake your thread and clean up the formatting so the autistic children don't throw a hissy fit and reach for their safety blanket.

>achievements come out

>"Introducing Steam Achievements!"

I don't want to get into a dick waving contest I just want to play video games.

>Vols deleted posts irrelevant to the ban

Quality moderation.

>I don't want to get into a dick waving contest

Multiplayer is where the money is at. For stockholders to make money with normalfags, games need to be an excuse to socialize and buy microtransactions, not be something that exists for fun in and of itself.

>pressing buttons to beat arbitrary challenges, to receive imaginary rewards, to trigger a dopamine rush

The depressing part is realising that is literally just what games have been all along. Achievements just strip away the magic. Reduce it all to it's base mechanics.

>>13780408

You could just ignore them. That's what I do 90% of the time.
