Not a fan of someone who uses the r-slur and makes a show of not being “woke,” but I agree that that list is utterly ludicrous. Flagging something like it’s practically unplayable because you can if you search for them find a couple of same-sex characters in the ass end of nowhere holding hands is kinda mind-blowing.

They even complained about someone claiming to be asexual. Seriously?? Someone not wanting sex is the big horrible Woke Agenda™ being shoved down poor, innocent Gamers™’ throats? Look here, it’s incels doing reverse wokism “making” a game engine because Real Men™ never use a premade one! Don’t think about why they would want to associate with a general-purpose game engine despite also claiming that every dev must make their own! Thinking is WOKE! You’ll turn gay if you think!

🤬 Baffling absurdity, I say!

How is using a game engine “woke?” I feel like I’m missing something about either gamedev history or yet another new meaning of “woke” 🤔

Edit: NEVERMIND I missed a bit in the wall of text 😅 Sorries. I’ll just, uh… hide over here now 😶‍🌫️

Edit edit: Actually, no, fuck that. “Can’t make their own engines” is incredibly asinine. It takes huge amounts of effort to make a half-decent engine and even established studios are (CDPR??) or should be (Bethesda!) switching to engines built by organizations ostensibly dedicated to making engines and making them well. These bellends have created a kind of counter-productive elitism that was ridiculous decades ago, all to excuse their bigotry.

Came to say this! I’m also related to people like this :-\ They say blatantly lefty stuff but insist on being on the rightist ‘team’ thing anyway. Gross.

I’m still annoyed there are few geology MOOCs around. I can take sixteen thousand courses on Python but I still don’t know the difference between dirt and soil 😤

“Disobeying a ZeniMax employee” being apparently some kind of crime gives me a sudden, near-desperate urge to disobey a ZeniMax employee.

What the actual goat-riding upside-down lost in space 🤬 is this crap? Just evil people collaborating? Dunno why US and Russian politicians would or would even want to have anything to do with African politics but it’s definitely not for any good reason.

Also, I assume that one guy is gonna demand that Putin fire that ambassador. … Yeah sure, that’ll happen.

Well, that’s vile.

Seems kinda goofy we still let people pretend this isn’t just about hate and cruelty, and that they insist on doing so.

[Goofy reference to goofy thing https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.en.html ] Something tells me that cal is the standard text-based calendar 😅

Changed it 🤷 I’ve no idea why I decided to abbreviate there at all.

If corporations are to be considered people they should have to have shins or something to kick them in!

Am tired of hearing about Nintendo attacking everyone who even thinks about fun outside of their discrete products.

All(ium) Cepas Are Bastards? 🤔 😅

I’m taking this as an opportunity to illuminate issues with particular games, since… well, play on easy if you wanna, naturally. So, for my recommendation: If you don’t use the mod that makes all weapons very dangerous, Mass Effect Andromeda. Without a mod to speed it up a lot, every fight becomes ages of tedium. There’s one weapon that can be made any good and even that doesn’t make fights bearable. You’re basically sitting for like ten minutes at a time hosing down foes with off-brand Super Soakers until they get frustrated and leave. It’s quite bad. Just play it on easy. Not just easy, the easiest easy. Whatever the lowest difficulty is, pick that one. There’s just no point in anything higher unless you’ve got infinite patience. And ammo. Bleeegh.

So, generally I play things on easier difficulties when I feel like anything higher will get tedious rather than interesting. The Mass Effect trilogy, I play on the maximum difficulty because that adds a bunch of mechanics that give me more to work around. Fighting armoured enemies should be done differently from fights against shielded enemies, that sort of thing. Enemies become more dangerous when they’re not shut down so there’s that encouragement to get them figured out before they bring out the scary attacks. Some games just increase health amounts, which… okay, just shoot them more? 😴 Boring.

tl;dr: Games like Mass Effect Andromeda where difficulty settings only increase tedium. Am never gonna want to crank up the tedium setting.

Idunno, my mom told me not to talk to _stranger_s 🤔

… She said a lot of things that were BS, though, so maybe you’re cool I guess? 🤷

I’ll never forget attending CS courses with a guy who got violently angry at having to write code. I assume he’s either thrilled with Copilot or in prison for attacking somebody over its failure to reliably write all of his code for him.

Then we’ll have to give them more pie, and they’ll just eat the pie! Eventually they’ll eat all of the pie and the poor rich folks won’t have any pie :(

Yeah, I’m still salty about that vile skit.

not many people in the world who understand this code.

Kinda sounds like maybe he writes some freaky garbo C that nobody can figure out 😅

There’s so much in place to keep people from getting help but paying people to shoot us and not even bother to make up their own lies about it, no problem!

What the fuck.

Literally the party of deliberate cruelty :( Whole bunch of people just trying to hurt others. Ugh.

Also, not sure how this is programming related 🤷

Woo, maybe Shrine Wars will be coming out soonish!

… Har har! 'Used to love that game 😅
