A Different Approach to Difficulty

A good example for myself would be been I begin a Fallout New Vegas game I like to play on Hardcore and Very Hard difficulty. Having played the game so much, that's where I like to start these days. I would really dislike it if I couldn't do that at the very beginning.

And, I can't stop watching the Spy Master gif

In favor of level requirements on gear

@Marrend- Diablo 2 and Borderlands 2 both have enough space to save things that are out of your level. B2 gives you the option to buy more bank space and also have 4 slots of the twink items from Claptrap. D2 is usually pretty good of you getting higher level items as you go and you have the stash. Both games don't let you hoard so much unless you can play with other people.

How to make a demo

You should avoid telling people to never do something. You can suggest what shouldn't be done, but I don't like being told I can never do something. Especially when I can think of many ways to do it, and do it well.
I mean honestly, starting with the start tutorial town and dragging the experience down does slow the game down needlessly. Plus, most of the players who will play your RPG Maker demo, will have grasp on these mechanics as is.
This is startlingly untrue. I was and still in some ways am that developer who thought that people would understand the mechanics and I've been proven wrong a bunch. Having some kind of tutorial helps a lot of people. I for one don't usually need them but that's just me. I've also learned that showing an image isn't helpful to many people. Because just like a long intro text wall, people don't retain much from a controls sheet etc.

5 Steps to Write Better Female Characters

author=Frogge
That tip about how strong =/= masculine is really great.
On the other hand, I personally relate to female characters whose entire world revolves around guys they like. My entire world revolves around guys I like, lol.
This happens to everybody! So, that's fine. :P

Wrong Literacy Assumption – Fixing A Bad Design

I don't know, this seems more like a blog.

Telling people that they have to think of every player who boots the game up is not only a common worry but an impossible one to actually acheive.
I get why this can been seen as advice, but nothing about it screams "tutorial" and that's probably because it seems you're just talking about your game and a single instance.
Better advice is not to adhere to one group of people. Obviously, if you can convey the same message in a better way that works for everyone then awesome. But don't stress about trying figure out every detail for the gaming-inclined.
