I didn’t say that at all.

I think there is a problem with over-tutorializing in AAA games. I don’t think they are going away, or the hobby will collapse. I just think of the opening experience of Elden Ring versus Jedi Survivor. One puts you in the action and has a 30 minute optional tutorial dungeon, the other has tutorials pop up four hours in the game.

I don’t play for long stretches, maybe two hours at a time. It’s not satisfying for me to play a game three or four times and still be in tutorials. For me AAA games are the absolute worst at this.

AAA games are part of the problem.

When I have a chance to play a game, I’d like to play a game. Not have 2-4 hours of tutorials, 30 minutes of a cool story and then 5-30 hours of pointless side quests.

Funny how one instance is the one everyone wants to defederate from.

Because you aren’t open to conversation. You just want to quip that you have secret knowledge and everyone else is an idiot, and smugly feel superior as you read Russian propaganda.

It’s worse than just that. They argue that acknowledgement of Stalin’s atrocities is Holocaust denial.

They are so scared and insecure they will lash out against anything that slightly challenges their beliefs. If they post sources it will be misreadings of fringe groups, or conveniently ignoring facts. Like how they believe tiananmen square wasn’t a big deal because the China killed about 300 people a mile away. Or how Cuba is a utopia even though it’s citizens chose to get run over by the coast guard instead of living there.

Let me know what sources you’ll accept, because there is an abundance of evidence about the massacre, including photographs.

The only people contesting this is the Chinese government and fringe groups.

I see that you linked an opinion article, however you have misrepresented the article and it’s implications alongside my statement.

At no point does the article say if you compare numbers, or mention other atrocities you are denying the Holocaust. It is saying the damage caused by the Holocaust was on a scale that is not analogous to other atrocities and it is possible to attempt to trivialize the Holocaust by turning it into a numbers game. There is much about how Baltic people may use this as a deflection for their own involvement with the Holocaust, but that’s clearly conjecture.

Also I never said to compare Stalin to Hitler, I said mentioning Stalin’s atrocities existence will get you called a Holocaust denier. I’m sure you see that you proved my point.

Don’t defederate from hexbear, they aren’t that bad.

They aren’t great, it’s like a bunch of very confident college kids refusing to listen to anything that challenges their beliefs. There is a high percentage of trolls, but it’s the Internet. I’ve seen some shockingly bad takes, like tiananmen square had no casualties, or as highlighted by this thread, criticism of the USSRs well documented atrocities is tantamount to Holocaust denial.

Just ignore them and move on.

That’s because you are weak. I bet you have a peanut allergy too.

I use scissors exclusively with my left hand just to point out to any lefty around that you don’t need to buy special scissors.

It is!

Most companies make BS solutions for fake problems. Not going to the office exposes a large chunk of fake needs.

Do families really need two cars? If you aren’t commuting every day, probably not.

Having more free time means people are more likely to cook and clean for themselves. Can’t make money off of that.

How many suits do you need to own? None! You only owned them because you are supposed to wear them in the office.

Dry cleaners? No longer a bill.

Gas? When you aren’t sitting in your cities parking lot of a freeway isn’t bought as often.

Speaking of parking lots, you aren’t paying for parking anymore.

Daycare and dog walkers aren’t needed anymore.

Going up work is expensive and companies want us addicted to these fake expenses.

It’s always good to mention “famously good” games. I played dark souls a year ago for the first time because of a post like this I saw.

To people who haven’t played Undertale; you’ll probably like it, it’s very good.

I think the difference is that it’s possible to actually engage with the community on Lemmy.

On Reddit if I see something I have a story or thought on there are already 5000+ comments. The only people responding to me are trolls and those with nothing to do but look for a fight.

On lemmy there might be 50 comments in 10 threads. Conversation can actually happen.

It’s the difference between chatting at a party and shouting at a concert.

Fear and hunger.

It has enemies that are tougher than they should be. You are just a small part of the story. It’s pretty good.

I was surprised by how good season one was. Season two was great fun. I hated season three.

I feel they tried too hard to make serious points and failed at telling good stories. They wanted to have big thoughts, but just weren’t entertaining.

Think of the last job you quit. Would a 5% raise change anything?

A ping pong table is an asinine thing to give, but the point of “more money doesn’t make you stay” has been proven by many studies.

When you quit a job because it doesn’t pay enough it’s not a matter of a small raise, it’s a normally a big jump in pay. Until you get to substantial raises, like 10-20k a year, you aren’t really worried about the pay as much as your direct supervisor and the work load. A bump from 60k a year to 61k a year won’t make you stay in a job you hate. 60k to 100k might, but that’s not just a raise, that’s a different class of pay.

The journey is the destination.

I have a problem with rushing through things. This has helped me slow down and appreciate what I’m doing. I’m not doing something so I can enjoy it after it’s done, I’m doing it to enjoy what I’m doing.

This is a long shot, but years ago uploaders would make art pages as signatures at the start of the comic. Is there any place where these are saved?

Green. All other colors are objectively inferior.
