  Business leadership is a club with a specific culture. To be in the club you have you drink the cool aid, so unfortunately most of them have the same mentality

  Direct input existed before xinput and works just fine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Chrome only?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it communicate via usb with the camera?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game do you really want to play, but haven't yet because you feel it in your soul that it will get a remake/remaster soon enough?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense, though unlike zero mission i suspect it would essentially be a graphical update more than a remake. Gameplay-wise dread isn’t that different from super

  Lol plenty of stuff with Mary sues comes out including in anime and nobody cares (except you apparently)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the point of the Nicole spam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If their claim is so preposterous then why are they providing sources and you’re not. Writing longer and longer walls of text and being more and more disrespectful isn’t going to convince anyone. If you have evidence just provide it instead of insisting is exists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the point of the Nicole spam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Provide the evidence?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is smarter than a genius⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  More like he was one person in a company and gets all the credit because society can’t fathom that anybody other than the leech on top has the impact they really do

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is smarter than a genius⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure Apple just packaged shit other companies made with extraordinary marketing. Like the ipod circle everybody went nuts for they settled a lawsuit with creative because of patent infringement. I actually had a creative zen and loved it because it didn’t have Apple software trying to control my music library.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If all the companies that sell a common good at the supermarket shrinkflate, then are you supposed to just not but tortillas? For most, the answer is too sigh and still make burritos or whatever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're trying to charge Luigi with terrorism! Imagine that!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you actually have a point? Innocent children slain: bad. Evil leech that has a large part in oppressing us - maybe not so bad.

  Do you really think the dude being white has anything to do with it? Pretty sure “CEO of health insurance company” is a sufficient descriptor and race has nothing to do with it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I completely agree that business ghouls doing business ghoul things make studios make worse games… doesn’t really affect my point though… studios are not making games based on a “bar” set by the consumers as described in the original post…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are part of the studios… point was “the bar” is “fun/interesting”. The vast majority of people that purchase games don’t have a bar as defined by the content I originally replied to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Studios can make whatever they want. People aren’t putting in orders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is martial arts really that useful?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  MMA has rules that don’t exist in real fights that almost certainly affect the dominance of styles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s better today than it was a year ago, and WAY better than it was 3 years ago, and is still improving. There are a few categories of games where you are likely to have problems though.

  • competitive multiplayer games [kernel level anticheat, that one will probably remain a problem]
  • very old games [getting better all the time, because wine is getting better all the times]
  • very new AAA games [they mostly use one of a handful of game engines, so they tend to get fixed in batches]

  I would say whether linux is ready for (windows) gaming depends on is different per person predicated on:

  1. What categories of games you play
  2. Any specific problematic game that is a dealbreaker for you

  For me, I tend to play some older games, and there are a few that don’t work well. I don’t want to boot windows, so I just decide I can wait for it to get there for them.

  For some people, “ready” means will run every windows program as if running on windows. We’re still a ways off from that, if we ever get there (it’s a moving target, as windows is still being developed…)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are vegan and gluten free items more expensive?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a very rudimentary understanding of the system that doesn’t always pan out in a particular time frame or due to external factors.

  1. It takes time for that effect to occur
  2. It doesn’t take into account barriers to entry, of which there are many for food
  3. It doesn’t take into account that there are are actually a small number of companies that own the bulk of our food supply chain and it’s in their financial interest to keep prices high for things that are perceived as luxury
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are vegan and gluten free items more expensive?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s literally just because people will pay the price they’re asking…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I the only person that feels that retro games are better?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hollow Knight is pretty different than metroid games and I’m not sure I’d directly compare them. I’m the only person I know that doesn’t like Hollow Knight and it seems like the departures it makes from the classic metroidvania formula that put me off it are part of the reason other people like it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  1. This is completely besides the point, but I personally view factory farming as different than what happens in nature.

  2. This is also beside the point, but you are making some wild logical leaps here. The fact that I personally don’t want to support factory farming because I think it is cruel in no way means that I think other people “enjoy animal suffering” and assuming that is arbitrarily assigning thoughts I have never had to me.

  3. None of the above is really relevant because I should be allowed to go about my day without justifying my dietary choices just as people that eat meat should.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience it’s usually more like: Them: here have some of this meat thing Me: No thanks Them: why not it’s really good try some Me: i don’t eat meat Them: but why? Me: to reduce animal cruelty and environmental harm Them: wow how dare you be so judgy

  I’m not really sure how I’m supposed to not offend this type of person in this situation and frankly I don’t think it’s my fault or my problem they’re offended. My theory is that that agree with my reasons but rather than change or live with the cognitive dissonance they just lash out at anyone that reminds them they could be living more ethically even if they basically MAKE them say it.

  Blaming vegans for that is bullshit, frankly
