I had to google "hermetic" to see if there was some other definition of the word I'm not aware of and apparently there isn't so I have no idea what the frick he's talking about.
What fricking dictionary is that?
Because hermetic does not mean the same as inaccessible, and never had. Not in common usage, or anywhere else.
Hermetic knowledge means "related to occultist or mystical traditions within western philosophy". Not "hard to understand" or "inaccessible" or "exclusive". Hermetic knowledge sure is inaccesible to most but that does not mean it is just a general term for being inaccessible.
God damn these online dictionaries really are fricking garbage.
OP, whoever the frick he is, is just using the term wrong, presumably because he first encountered on the same shitty on-line dictionary as posted.
This is why you don't treat dictionaries as authorities, kids.
>Oh, it's the "each word has only one precise definition" gay again.
No, that is not what I'm saying. However, there are still semiotic domains and fields of relevance for each word, they are here because otherwise, the language will simply lose it's functionality.
If you use a word in a way that 99% of people will not understand, in a way that has no support in it's past history, and that does not actually offer to expand it's functionality or relevance: You are simply using the word wrong.
I do understand that you kids are afraid of this. The very notion that anyone could EVER actually tell you are you are doing something wrong is so fricking paralyzing to you, you would rather see the entire language lose any and all function than to ever face that possibility, but then again:
You are shit and nobody really gives a frick about you. Especially not linguistics.
It's latin and means that it throws you right into the story and you have to try and understand it by discovering stuff and not be forcefed it on a silver platter.
Like someone else mentioned it means to begin a story in the midst of the action and plot. "Hermetic" means like, sealed off. So I THINK, I'm not sure because he phrased it like a pretentious moron, but I think he was trying to say "The beginning in the thick of it is too tight (sealed). I felt like I was beginning in the thick of things but then the game restricted my actions so much that this felt pointless." I really can't be sure though, it's such a twat thing to say.
I think he means "tight and closed off" as in you begin in the thick of things but the game restricts your actions so much it doesn't feel that way/it feels pointless.
It's not 'sealed off'. It's like esoteric, hard to understand, obscure. What the guy meant was that he felt being thrown into a lot of shit all at once because it was in media res.
I'm learning how to repair industrial boilers, internal combustion engines, diesel generators, and other shit that basically makes the world function. Not pointless moronic shit for limpwristed slackjawed homosexuals to whine about while having a frappuccino in their fake ass office that generates fake "jobs" which surmount to nothing more than whining about the lack of transsexual benderqueer otherkin representation in children's cartoons.
>I refuse to learn garbage latin phrases that are in latin without any good reason
nobody tell him about coup d'etats, schadenfreude, kowtowing, and bungalows
I understand in medias res and hermetic, but what the frick is that supposed to mean put together? The story starts in the middle of things, and it is too sealed in to that framing? This word choice wreaks of midwit that just found some new words that he wants to smash together.
No but ESLs are having trouble literally understanding the meaning of the individual parts of that phrase. What we cannot figure out is why he added the fricking word "hermetic". I googled "en media res hermetic" literally no results because it's not a real phrase and doesn't fricking mean anything. This dude's just a gay trying to sound smart and so are you.

Seriously guys...
He's saying the game starts in the middle of the story and is difficult to understand

Isn't that literally the entire premise of the game?
Why would you list that as a con? That'd be like saying Mario jumping on platforms is bad.

You probably use some and don't even realize it because you are an uneducated tard.

I'm an ESL and I understood it

I can only assume they meant frenetic
