Even the PS4 and Xbox One were able to produce gorgeous graphics.

But not always (or even usually IMO) at decent frame rates. I get major motion sickness and nauseous if a game doesn’t run near 60fps constantly, it’s really unfortunate.

I did! I loved them as a kid, that’s why I tried out To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars because I like Paolini

I was going to suggest this book! It’s my favorite scifi book of all time, I genuinely love it.

And if you go for the audiobook version, it’s narrated by Jennifer Hale! Who of course fucking nails it!

Shocking, no argument or refutation from a sexist chud.

I’ve not seen any evidence it was a mistranslation, and they’ve made multiple similar comments. And there’s a few in-game moments that also reflect that type of casual misogyny. I’ve also seen it commented on by several outlets and players in the genre, so I have no idea what you mean by “hit piece” since I’m not referring to a single article.

Second, why on earth wouldn’t you open with this as your argument instead of “apparently the sexist comment by the devs was right”?? Lol it seems like you support the Gamergate level sexism smh

Critical support for sexist game devs is praxis, apparently /s

Unsurprisingly and unfortunately, there are plenty of sexist, dumb chud Gamers™ who don’t care about sexist developers.

Aren’t these the “we don’t need female players” devs?

The “utility” of utilitarianism isn’t that type of utility. IIRC it generally refers to the idea of maximizing happiness and minimizing harm, with a focus on outcomes of the whole, rather than the individual. Efficiency of labor doesn’t explicitly factor into it.

Personally, I think you’re just rationalizing being lazy and potentially causing harm to others, which isn’t utilitarian at all.

From a utilitarian perspective

Pretty sure that’s not what utilitarianism means lol

Lmfao who’s the warmonger now?

IIRC its more like a pit than a seed, but yeah

What hypocrisy?? They made some ridiculously stupid comparison of combat methods with treatment of POWs, it’s not the same thing at all lol

What about thermostats for homes? I can absolutely feel a 2 deg F difference

Oddly enough I once got hit by a car driven by John Goodman.

We lived in the same neighborhood while I was doing Norm and I never actually saw him but my lady neighbors wouldn’t stop yammering about living near John and his red Porsche Carrera. I don’t drive. I’m not afraid of cars or anything, I just don’t care for ‘em. I was walking to grab eggs before the grocery store closed one night – this was back before everything was open 24/7 – and I saw a red Carrera coming in the right lane but he had a red light and no turn signal on so I figured I could cross the street at the light no problem. Then I remembered that ol’ Pacha himself drove a red Porsche and I thought I should ask for an autograph when he stopped. My son was a huge fan and would have got a kick out of it. There was a problem though. John turned right and barely slowed down before his windshield broke my fall.

He got out and started apologizing and I couldn’t believe it was him. Living in the same neighborhood, working in the same circles, attending the same professional events, and I was to meet John after he nearly ran over me. When he got out of the car I was digging through my wallet for something he could sign for my son and he apologized and asked how much it would cost to keep the police out of the whole affair. I said I didn’t want any money, just a signed picture or something. He kind of looked at me weird and asked why I wanted his autograph and then it hit me: It wasn’t John. It didn’t even look like him. Not one day goes by that I don’t think about that old man and how much I want to punch him right in the fucking face.

I just associate it with 7th grade

You’re not gonna believe this, but I’m pretty sure that was the intent, to mock you

I grant that isolation is inherently traumatic

That was my point, I don’t see how a traumatic experience during a child’s formative years could have no effect on their ability to learn or socialize later in life. I’m not making a “nature” argument, I’m making a “lack of nurture during the most important years” argument.

How could a child not be exposed to any spoken language without that circumstance also being somewhat traumatic?

You’re right, it’s way less boring than a Rockstar game lol

Why do you bring up console players? What does that have to do with Steam?

Also, what’s the cutoff for the number of employees a company can have before it’s weird to stan for them? Because I’ve never liked Steam, and Valve was one of the first companies to promote lootboxes and literal gambling to children, but Epic is the devil for some reason?? Lol gtfo

Says the one defending Steam lmao grow up
