  • If it’s a statement, definitely.

    “Bomberman has lore?” is generally not the standard formation of a yes/no question. They’re usually formed for with the verb “do”.

    If one wants to know if Amazon sells books and wants a yes/no answer, one would generally ask “Does Amazon sell books?”

    If someone is browsing Amazon and finds books unexpectedly, they would be more likely to say “Amazon sells books?”

    However, in some dialects of English, the two might be interchangeable. I think it might be the case for Indian English, to give an example.


  • “Bomberman has lore?” as a question would generally be some sort of surprise or suggestion that it goes against expectations.

    “Donald Trump is a young man.”

    “Donald Trump is a young man?” – response to a statement that went against expectations.

    “Is Donald Trump a young man?” – neutral, general question (if additional context or tone is absent)






  • Well, I kinda get it. We can tell kids how babies are made, but we don’t have to go into certain details or say “Sorry Timmy, Mommy and Daddy are going to go try to make a baby sibling for you now!”

    There’s also the perspective that we should value animal lives and appreciate that we are choosing to sacrifice them for our privilege of enjoying their meat.

    But yeah, this is pretty silly “outrage”.


  • I think you meant “Does Bomberman have a lore?”

    With a post titled “Bomberman has a lore?”, I was expecting the post to be either surprised that Bomberman has a lore, or surprised that someone would have said Bomberman has a lore.

    Especially when paired with the picture of a game’s boxart, I thought that this post was about something lore-related on the box or in its artwork.

    As to where to find the lore, I’d check the manuals, including manuals from other regions. For a lot of the 90s, the manuals were the best (and occasionally only) place to find lore!
