To be fair, being a mesh design, I would want to pick it up by the pyramid, too.

Distance joggers

Based on no investigation, I would guess this is a running shoe. The app will track steps, distance, pace, mile times… all the stats joggers care about. Yes, there are apps to do all of this anyway, but I would assume with these shoes, you get much more accurate stats. There’s certainly no way UA has this in every shoe, and the people paying however many hundreds of dollars for these shoes are doing it specifically because of this feature. This isn’t Internet is shit, this is UA making a useful product for a smaller market base.

I’m happy to see I’m not the only one that Google searches like this after a certain level of frustration. “How the fuck do I do the thing and why did they change it in the first place? This is fucking stupid, Google, why can’t you just answer my fucking question, you dumb shit?”

Ah, thank you.

Did the article ever actually say why they removed this character?

This has been my feeling every time I see one of OP’s maps. They’re gorgeous, I could see Final Fantasy Tactics playing out well on it, but it doesn’t look like it would transfer well to a tabletop RPG.

Gameplay design is the design of how the game plays. Level design of the design of the levels. In this scenario, the problem is not being able to advance until the platforms are even, which is an issue of gameplay design.
