What is Midcore? Why does it matter?

[R041]

All I hear is that haunting yodeling refrain: riiiiicooolaaaaaa

[that's a dis on your own presumption, not on the person you're responding to in a passive-agressive way]

Yeah - Because it's just an out of touch and insane opinion for people to look at the Casual to Hardcore graph like this:






As if there's no form of middle-ground, and anyone that isn't conforming to doing the absolute soul-crushing content with a static is a Low-Tier Casual.

I mean they can have that opinion, that's fine. It just looks silly, and I only wish them the best on top of that mountain.

Funny how one person writes "Savage", and another immediately reads that as "Ultimates". There is a bit of a bias there.

Now a complaint about, I dunno, Variant instances not being casual yet, somehow, not being midcore because of Rewards ... might be interesting. Or not. (I think it's been posted to death by now).

I've always liked this short treatise on what makes a gamer 'casual', 'midcore' or 'hardcore': https://steamcommunity.com/groups/th...5033754098617/

That link for Midcore is very close to my OP. It's Mid-Something, not necessarily hardcore. But definitely not always casual. People are super aggressive about it being Casual because it can sometimes lean into Casual with Flexibility.


They said Ultimates, and I went to an extreme because I'm petty. Here lemme edit it for you.. lol

They actually wrote "savage/ultimates" in the first sentence, and the last one ended with a comment about players at "savage level" ...

You defaulted to reading 'ultimates' and apparently stopped reading anything after that. Or just plain forgot and are unwilling to admit it.
