That’s like saying “you shouldn’t mod games, 'cause that’s not what the dev intended”. Idgaf what the dev/chef intended, if I like mods in my burger, I’m gonna season it to my liking.

A polished turd no less!
- Comment on Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 2 weeks ago:
Mine pass the surrounding noise through the microphone and back through the buds so I can hear my surroundings much better than if I wasn’t wearing them.
- Comment on Man accidentally gains control of 7,000 robot vacuums 3 weeks ago:
My vacuum is unfortunately connected to the internet. It doesn’t seem to have a clue what my house looks like though. It keeps fucking up the map, rotating it and then tries to drive through walls to get to non excisting rooms.
- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 4 weeks ago:
I used to care quite a lot about graphics, but as the years have passed, I find graphically beautiful games less pleasing than a lot of the older games. It all seems too rounded and smooth now. I’ve been playing a lot of Project Diablo 2 lately, but when the new character dropped for Diablo 2 Resurrected, I figured I should give that a shot. While the graphics are definately nice, and the gameplay is smooth, I prefer the older graphics, because the griddy, slightly pixelated world adds so much to the dark and gloomy theme.
I’ve also just absolutely had it with every single Unreal Engine game looking exactly the same. Did the devs just lose all individual artistry?
Sometimes less is just more.
- Comment on Why this school will ditch a shirt, tie and blazer from its uniform 4 weeks ago:
There was no doubt in my school in NZ who was poor and who wasn’t, based on how someone’s clothes fit them or how worn they were. The youngest in a poor family would have some very worn clothes that had been passed down from their siblings. Often 2 sizes too big or too small.
- Comment on Sony-led program offers PS5 rentals starting at $13.50 a month in the UK across 12, 24, or 36-month leases — console has to be returned at the end of the contract 4 weeks ago:
Let me guess, if it isn’t in 100% mint condition when you return it, you get to pay for it, including a service fee of 150€ for their inconvenience.
- Comment on Steam Quietly Withdraws Under Fire MMO Ashes of Creation From Sale As Fans Wonder Who's Left to Maintain the Servers 5 weeks ago:
I was hoping it would become what they were trying to sell, but I had every expectation of it becoming everything that is wrong about MMOs. The biggest sign was demanding $100 for people to be alpha testers. You should be paying people that instead.
- Comment on Probably helps that I'm happy to listen to whatever genre 5 weeks ago:
I generally don’t really like rap, but mumble rap just sounds lazy as shit. Like “I can’t even be bothered to open my mouth”. It’s also so stupidly monotone. I may just be an old man yelling at kids, but that’s music I will never understand.

I don’t know about England, but at least here in Denmark, many people who have served a sentence will get into a trade. Without a drivers license those jobs can be practically impossible to keep.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 director agrees with No Rest for the Wicked lead that Early Access is "a positive thing" for games like their two RPGs – when it works 1 month ago:
While 7 days was tumultous at best, they’ve reached a pretty good point by now.
I do agree with you though, that having a proper direction and being clear about that direction to your fanbase makes for a much better early access period.
Like The Culling which completely ruined their own game because the devs thought they should move in one direction, but their fans and players thought the plan was completely different, having bought the game with a completely different direction in mind.
In the end though, having played quite a few good early access games, releasing a game in early access by Larian is fucking cheap. They have plenty money to make a full release without the early access injection. I see no reason why a succesfull studio like them would need it. Early access is fine for smaller devs. For some it could mean the difference between a hobby project and a full time job.

Didn’t they say like a decade ago that they would stop doing content updates because they were done with the game?

it wasn’t a “landing” they crashed their lander into the moon to measure seismic data. They basically did an orbital strike with a bus. It vibrated for a long time because there isn’t much to dampen the vibration when most of the surface is hard rock with no moisture.

I don’t think ignorance is wholesome. Ignorance leads to fear of the unknown, of which there are a lot. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to fascism.

I don’t wash windows, but that is me while walking anywhere public. I’ll be hugging a fucking wall trying to leave space for people, while they’ll walk in the middle of the god damn sidewalk and still bump into me. Why do people not value personal space?

So your proof is that a couple people on Reddit also think that?

“Physicial agression”, what the fuck have you been smoking? They said they pushed the cart away with their carts. Nothing agressive about that, wtf.

- Comment on [Serious] If a human is trained by AI slop and then they make something with their own hands, is it still art? 2 months ago:
I’m no art expert or anything but here’s my view.
1 and 2. Yes. You used tools to create the art, not all that different from using a pencil or paintbrush, or a tablet you didn’t create yourself. It was however your imagination that created it. It wasn’t generated from a couple of sentances, what was created was (depending on skill of couse) what you pictured it should be. You didn’t just generate 1000 possibilities and picked the prettiest one and called it yours.
- It would still require human imagination to create the art, so I would still deem it art.

- Comment on Don't believe them 2 months ago:
Let’s assume it doesn’t hold your spot in the line. I see absolutely no reason why it wouldn’t, but whatever. I’d rather have to wait for a call for 3 hours, while doing literally anything else than sit and listen to their godawful elevator music, that stops every 20-ish seconds, just long enough to make you believe you’ve been put through.
