While it’s not an “excuse”, I think the “explanation” tends to be that speech from Nick in Zootopia: If people are going to regard you as shifty and untrustworthy, why bother being anything else.

Like I said, not a valid reason, but I do see how that toxic manosphere grows through fear.

Huh. Was expecting a standing-animal Redwall style story with armored cats wielding swords. The all-fours aesthetic always feels difficult to take seriously.

If they’re scared of hallucinations, they’re a threat. There’s no external way to stop them from hallucinating.

I’m happy for anyone that can realize “Oh my god, I believed in stories that trans people were attacking our civil liberties based on no evidence, I’m a complete worthless moron.” Can’t do anything about the others though - even hammering the facts isn’t really a path for it.

Actually, nobody is doing the physical labor so that the company can present itself as low cost for future investors.

If I make a social network, one of my rules will be that you cannot self censor.

For example, “Politicians be f*cking stupid” would give a warning. “Politicians be fucking stupid” would not.

If the message itself is disagreeable, it gets punished based on content - but it wouldn’t apply purely by use of a word.

I might be a unique form of grump: I recognize we get gypped by modern streaming services, but I still appreciate that the internet gave us greater breadth of choice than old cable options.

There’s indie and foreign streaming services that cost a lot less than the Netflix oligopoly, yet people never even seem to look for those, and just turn to piracy as their form of protest. “I can’t live without this show, and so I’ll give these services my vote of confidence, as well as political ammunition to enact higher levels of internet traffic spying!” What a genius self-serving plan.

I found myself in a strained decision playing Space Marine 2, because it had third person movement, melee combat, parrying, BUT also has tight aiming and enemies that sprint miles from your crosshair when you glance at them.

I finally relented to mouse and keyboard for that one.

Ooh, Drywall Eating Simulator. Saw them play that at SGDQ. There’s more good stuff in here than I expected.

I think Whittleton Creek in Hitman is a perfect image of one, but that’s also a game where NPCs can only walk, not drive.

Give us The Demoman as an unlockable character, or you’ve got no guts, indies.

Every accusation is a confession.

This could be blamed on game developer brain drain. These are low-powered devices, and they need people writing game logic to have some idea of hardware-level efficiency, not let a 500-feature engine do the work for them.

There’s no way to remake these devices without them taking up oodles of power, thus burning a hole in your pocket. Phones come close (it’s damn impressive what visuals Gacha games can achieve on phones) but even they are losing efficiency with time.

It is if your company aggressively lays people off / closes offices so fast that it becomes difficult to locate source code of any game not actively promoting a new battlepass.

Much of the game industry…

I’ll be honest, I have something like this and it’s convenient.

I’m not brave enough to rub it directly against such sensitive skin, but it’s still useful for curbing down excess overgrowth, which makes close-fitting clothing more tolerable.

And, it’s water-washable, so I’ll put it through some of that before using it elsewhere. Your hands have been to both extremes before.

NO HE DOESN’T.

I will die on this fucking hill. Nothing he’s ever said has sounded remotely intelligible. He’s just the racist grandpa rambling, 100% of the time, and I’m incredibly disappointed how people see otherwise.

We need more game mods like that.

I’d love to see a JRPG with simple scene scripting warped so the whole thing is just someone upset about a stolen pie, etc.

Theoretically, that would let you play a disc together with one moocher that leaves their Xbox offline, but I suppose it would only give people two copies at most.

The other important thing to me is that anyone who’s actually okay with digital-only doesn’t care about the disc thing. This generation, many people bought consoles that can’t insert a disc (I’ll admit, I own an Xbox Series S). That’s a LOT of customers.

All of them want to believe they’ll have access to their games 5 or 10 years later. So, it’s important for the societal response to aim to protect them too.
