Thank you! I try to avoid spoilers in mine. I usually use Lemmyâs built in spoiler feature when itâs though inevitable or i really want to share it, but i just recently found out that not every client does spoilers the same way so i think iâll have to think up some other idea

The current OPâs posts I tend to skim over, (unless its a game I already played, like this one) cause spoilers. . The other poster has less spoilery posts that I like to read more often (specially the ones he plays with his friends). . To each there ownÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ

I usually give a warning in advance that spoilers are upcoming and to skip the next paragraph if you donât want to read them, then do the spoiler tag for an entire paragraph. That way, even if the spoiler tag doesnât work, people know to skip the next paragraph to avoid it. Sometimes Iâll even do a full-caps âEND OF SPOILERS HEREâ to catch eyes and help people skip over them.

Thatâs what I ended up doing for my Alan Wake II post last night because there was just a lot to talk about with the ending. I figured in clients that donât support Lemmyâs built in spoiler system though the ::: at the end will tell them where the spoilers end

Iâm actually very careful to avoid spoilers in my posts. Sure, I get pretty far into the meat of the gameplay before I end my post⌠but I do my best to avoid any big reveals that might ruin the game for interested players. And Iâve never revealed the ending to a game.
At best, Iâve posted my speculation for the direction a gameâs plot might be headed, based on my incomplete gaming session. But I made it clear it was just a personal guess.
My intent is to get people invested in the story, so when I leave off, theyâll want to go check it out and see what happens next. Besides, some of the best screenshots are from the action in the middle of gameplay. I canât play 15 mins of a game and expect to make a solid post about it; I need to have some sense of what the game is about, and that requires a bit more exploration into the plot.
