- Comment on The Purpose of Difficulty | GMTK Mini 1 week ago:
I just wish people could understand that not all of us are looking for a ‘sense of accomplishment’ from playing a video game. I get that some people value that, great, stop acting like everyone needs to be the same
Yeah this is why I think the ‘easy mode’ debate is so pointless. Majority of games cater to a frictionless generalized experience with a low barrier to entry (which I find very boring). The few games that try to challenge the players that like to be challenged arent designed to be for everyone. If every game was darksouls i’d understand the ‘easy mode’ side of the argument a lot more.

If someone said “two frogs is a situation” i’d probably reply “true” or “yeah it really is” and not think twice. I like that phrase so much I might add it to my vocab same with ‘expanding the width of the snake’

dam google is really expanding the width of the snake right now
- Comment on The Purpose of Difficulty | GMTK Mini 1 week ago:
I dont think fun is the right word because I dont think the run back is fun. Its annoying and everytime I die on the runback I am annoyed. But it helps me to slow down and stops me from tilting hard and dying 50x to the first boss attack. Instead I tilt and die 50x to the first skeleton near the bonfire :p
- Comment on The Purpose of Difficulty | GMTK Mini 1 week ago:
I think the runback is important. When you instantly spawn back in the fight you’re basically banging your head on the boss with zero pressure until you beat it. But with the runback in darksouls you’re forced to reset after each failed attempt and fight your way back. It makes boss fights feel more like boss fights in my opinion because there is that pressure of being sent back to the bonfire if you make a mistake against this powerful enemy.

Video games? You mean mass murder training simulators.

- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 weeks ago:
I think its fine for a player new to the series but you’ve got to the type of person that is willing to learn and willing to die over and over. For people who play these kinds of games its not insane to expect them to pick it up.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 weeks ago:
I dont think there is any conversation to be had about an easy mode or boss runbacks. Any time this small dev team spends on an easy mode is time wasted IMO.
If its to hard you can play another game. I see this the same as people demanding a complex movie be changed to be easier to understand. Its just a dumb complaint and im sick of seeing these people flood every comment section of every slightly challenging game.

Before covid there was a lot of inservice work that you tipped for. During covid it became a lot more digital and the tipping didnt go away so everyone realised its bullshit and stopped tipping. Once tipping culture starts infecting digital transactions you got to stop it before it infects everything.

If the wage you’re offered is to low dont take it. Its really that simple. Dont take the job then expect the customers to make up the difference its greedy.

Dont tip. Covid killed tipping, after covid you dont need to tip

A bit complaint I saw was that it was really bad at choosing when to think long and when to give short answers leading to lots of incorrect and underbaked replies.

Its hard to be morally consistent. But not impossible.
- Comment on Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard 5 weeks ago:
Yeah but a person having multiple partners of different genders isnt different to a person having multiple of the same gender and neither are really a bad thing. So i am missing your point or you’re chirping the classic “bi people are whores” meme.

I’ve seen so many cases of staunch progressive groups weaponize a guys sexuality as soon as they have a falling out with him. Its like these people never believed what they were saying. People are so spineless and have no morals.
- Comment on [Discussion] Ranking the highest-grossing video games 1 month ago:
Fortnite is the master of brand based collabs. They aren’t afraid of mixing their ip with others or changing their game. They will change the map by adding a giant travis scott concert in the middle, or put a peter griffin character in game. A lot of other games are scared to add new things or put things unrelated into their games. I dont understand why people love having giant corporations shoved into their games but they do.

I must be living under a rock because i’ve never heard of this game. It sounds awesome from the way you describe it.

No because its not being posted by 100 different people its two people and I know they are not Pro AI and I know they hate grok. So seeing them post AI claims as news is funny to me.
- Comment on Anon watches youtube 1 month ago:
I dont care if they are a 1 person business or a small team. What im talking about is when a Giant multinational corporation buys up 1000s of youtube channels. I want to watch 1 person or a small team not a big talent corp
- Comment on Lemmy be like 1 month ago:
You would be right if they weren’t posting the article using grok as the source for the main claim.
The articles were “grok claims it was suspended from x for accusing isreal of genocide” thats fine. It is hypocritical when you post that article to every news, politics and tech community. There were a few communities where people commented that grok is full of shit but way to many communities treated it as if it was solid evidence.
- Comment on Anon watches youtube 1 month ago:
Most youtubers are businesses owned by corporate networks. The person on screen is just the talent pretending to be an organic channel.
