Criticising without giving alternatives for improvement is just criticising for the sake of it and not exactly constructive.
Disagree. In fact, I usually find criticism to be more productive when it doesn't try to offer solutions. Just tell me what isn't working, and I'll figure out for myself what the solution might be.
Depends. If you offer ideas/multiple solutions you can give people something to work with. But it can be just as effective to simply go "Your weakness/inability."
Sometimes I even ask "Do you want to be a better person". Even if someone talked down on me they say yes. It's very effective.
As a stupid symbol somewhere glowes, power flows through you. Authority.
If I hear that line one more time I think I'll impale my head on a spike. REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Seriously though, the fact that it's stated over and over and over and over is a bad sign. Like they can't come up with anything else to say in the interactions. It makes the interactions feel less "hand tailored" and more "Plopping it in". Hopefully it's a placeholder and they actually have DIFFERENT things to say depending on WHO or WHAT we interact with.
Even random lines from a RNG selection of phrases would be something. If you're going to do it the "lazy" way. I think I've heared "power flows through you. Authority." so many times it's like a mantra when I wake up in bed. I can't NOT think it after hearing it that many times.
... Wonder if it made me more obedient with that person I engage with where I did things and zonked out? They did say "Don't worry about sleep" so I didn't. Don't regret zonking out either. That's probably my "Always do as I'm told" nature though. But with this mantra can you see how it could get people to subconsciously... Saaayyy... Think the devs are trying to take over the world by getting people to become slaves? GASP! It's not the mindflayers in the game we have to worry about. It's the subliminal messaging. Obey your new overlords.
To quote the darleks in Dr Who. "Obey! OBEY! OBEEEEYYYYY! Thing is they can make it work. Must be the fact it's obvious they panic when they're not in control. Here it's like... just saying it for saying it?
