So what qualifies as bilingual vs monolingual in this case? If I know a little bit of a second language, but I’m nowhere near fluent, which do I qualify as for the purposes of this study? Or would that disqualify me as a candidate?

The "advertisment" in a REDDIT THREAD had to be approved by your Ethics board?

I have to apologize. I whish you best of luck with your research, honestly.

And please tell your "Ethic board" to deeply fk themselves for such bullshit. Yes, I'm serious. They monitor how you advertise your study and let you not change it? I guess those are the same idiots that let all those COVID vaccines run free without proper testing... Seriously, they are monitoring this shit?

Again, best of luck for your endeavors! (No sarcasm or pun here).

Reply to What is the most disappointing game you’ve ever played? by willrsauls

I am still playing through it, but Bloodborne. You basically just wander about with literally no direction, and kill bosses. Like give me SOME direction, hell, have Gerhman give the most basic of contextualization so I at least have a sense that I am going in the right direction, and that would at least make him a character and possibly shocking when you fight him as the 'Final' Boss. Something like, "Go meet up with Father Gascoigne, my companion, in the tomb of Oedon, and work with him to go interrogate Vicar Amelia in the Cathedral Ward about the disturbance," or something like that, so its a twist when Gascoigne has gone feral, but you also have some direction of where to go. You dont need paragraphs and hours of text, but maybe a sentence or two after each boss to slightly nudge you in the right direction.

Father Gascoigne was so disproportionately hard that literally every boss after him is a breeze, so you dont even get the satisfaction of beating a hard boss but like once or twice a game. (I still have Martyr Logarius, Amygdala, Micolash, Wet Nurse, Gerhman, and Moon Presence left in the Base Game).

The only real interesting thing about the game is the switch to Cosmic Horror, which would have been a nice twist if it was contrasted more with the area before it. We already had stuff such as Zombie Werewolves, and monstrous transformation. Starting with a more 'default' Victorian urban fantasy would have made the transition more jarring. Instead its like, 'Wow, this went from Dark Victorian Horror to Dark Victorian Cosmic Horror..."
