BLUF: Agreed. Games don’t need realism to be fun. They need fun to be fun.

Aside from obvious genres like simulators, horror, or other niche games, graphics don’t, and shouldn’t be, the main focus of a game.

It could just be plain fun. I’d prefer games with a bunch of sandbox niche mechanics than seeing a tree in 4k upscale. Like Noita or Terraria.

Or a deep story. The original Talos Principle was alright on its graphics at the time, but it prioritized the story and puzzles. It was a fundamental game that shaped many of the philosophies I hold still today.

Graphics can be important, but I’d also prefer stylized over realistic any day. That’s why some of the older games still hold up today, graphically.

Wind Waker, the old 3d mario games, Bioshock, Oblivion (terrain, not people lol)

All had really really solid art. And it still looks good. Because it didn’t try to push the limits on making the game look real.

Back when Modern Warfare 2 released on the 360, I saw little dust clouds, and thought that it was the greatest game for realism ever at the time. The graphics were so good. Going back? Dogwater.

They are? Being human relies on community and compassion for others. If you scam someone else, you deserve nothing but the dirt you walk on, let alone the clothes on your back. Regardless of gender, race, sex, etc.

I’m a bit lost. I didn’t justify using racist terms. I’m saying that scammers lack the core traits of humanity, compassion and care in others.

And they don’t deserve anything, let alone feeling comfortable in a conversation, or the air they breathe.

That is regardless of race, sex, gender. If you scam someone else, you don’t deserve life.

I didnt say using racial slurs is correct. I said the act of scamming someone is so far removed from the identity of what it means to be human.

I never defended the terminology used in the post. Nor would I use that. Its shallow, and means far less than telling them they aren’t someone capable of receiving any care.

While yes it is absolutely racist, scammers are not capable of having an identity associated with someone who is on par with humanity. They’re far below animals.

I prefer the term “demihuman” or any other dehumanizing language so they know who they are.

Minus the human trafficked ones of course. Only the vast majority who do it willingly.

Edit: let me clarify. I did not say using racist terminology is correct nor justified. I’m saying that people who scam others are so far removed from the identity of humanity and compassion that they do not deserve the light of day, much less the air they breathe.

To some extent they likely do. Nobody truly knows their “proprietary engine” other than dedicated modders and bethesda staff.

There’s definitely a level of negotiation that goes on between Microsoft and bethesda, which, outside of their massive titles Skyrim and Fallout, has successful games published (not developed) by Bethesda, like Doom, Deathloop, Dishonored, among others. If Microsoft makes demands, they could backstab the devs of whatever game they make, just like they did to new vegas.

So yeah, I doubt they’d let it happen again.

As if they’d let that happen.

The last time they let another studio develop something, it blew expectations out of the water and as a result made their game built on their home engine look like hot dog water.

New vegas is by far the beat fallout game, if for no other reason, it’s an actual role playing game, and not an action adventure game.

Such a good game. Especially if you get a multiplayer game of people with different logistical strengths.

The OG paper Mario was good. It combined elements from various jrpgs and other Mario titles at the time like Mario Luigi Superstar Saga. When the sequel came out, it delivered on all the hype and beyond. It’s cheeky. Fun. And actually quite long. It expanded on the elements of turn based combat, made twists and generally improved on every single aspect of the original. Then the third game came out, it was mediocre and didn’t live up to any expectations.

This game is a remake of the second game, so it’s exciting to see that there’s still hope for the paper Mario side of Nintendo.

All this to say, thousand year door is a point of nostalgia for a lot of people born in the 90s and early 2000s

Since we’ve spent the past 60 years talking about how horrific communism and extreme left is, even fighting multiple wars over it, we don’t really have a presence of far leftism.

I feel like it’s cyclical at this point. We hate the far left so much that people become fascist. A fascist dictator rises. Everyone realizes how this was a bad idea, and we equalize. Generations forget, and we progressively move right again til another fascist dictator comes in.

So no, there is no political power in America with true far left views, and our boomer gov would do anything to keep it that way.

This is a meme. Not necessarily humorous. But a meme nonetheless.

Absolutely. But momma didn’t raise no coward. Will keep watching ad free.
