  Puritanical prudes and those that agree with them and think they should have control of another’s body.

  Gotcha, didn’t realize that it was doing that. Yeah, pulling focus ought to be reserved for quests and the like. My misunderstanding then.

  Well, you said you didn’t like things filling the world or interactions. The more of that you remove the more arcadey the game is. Because arcade games don’t bother with fluff like that. They have a core gameplay loop and no real frills outside of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLC devs faced “diametrically opposed” feedback from players in the West and Japan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny enough about it not being an arcade game, it sounds like you just prefer arcade games, or at least their aesthetic. Lol

  I was going to make a similar point that we need more info. There are things that make a game annoying, and there are things that just offer a different form of play. If a menu is shit, that’s annoying and inconvenient, if a mechanic is different than your favorite thing, that’s a gameplay difference and not inconvenient so much as not your preference. I hope when asking players about things they made these distinctions.

  Well, going to own some very successful bookstores, or have a decently successful device repair shop. (Bookshop Simulator and ReStory) Thankfully you didn’t ask this tomorrow when I start up my next Stalker 2 play through…I’d be pretty damn fucked.

  Man, that’s really impressive. i can’t get shit in that game done without cheaty mods. My best raw play through got me like 3 levels down. And another I got into a couple secreted areas where I faced immediate one shot death.

  That’s pretty cool

  There’s shitposting, and then there is being a miserable cunt. Chippy likes to claim the former while doing the latter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When your life is really empty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get this is a shitposting sub, but just want to say to anyone thinking this way seriously, other people have lives too. They are absolutely likely to be doing other things and don’t have time or brain space to reply. If you can’t realize that you are being too self-centered in this case, it’s time to clue in.

  Sincerely, Someone that can take a long time to reply.

  MS just pushed their stupid OneDrive Photos as an update. I decided that’s my last straw. It was one thing when I could toggle AI off, but this trying to connect all my pics to contacts etc is too far. I’m done. I just wish Tuta Drive was ready for daylight. Probably going to ride Mega until it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe it's time for Penguin⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whenever I try to access the already established personal vault it asks me to set up a vault. If I go through the steps nothing changes. It’s stupid AF.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I try to give them one chance. Sometimes I get pulled in deeper if I’ve got nothing better to do. But on the whole, respond with curiosity first. Then determine of they are worth your time. If not, ignore them and move on, interacting with those more worth your while while eye rolling the idiots.

  Guess the best way is to not care much about what others think of you. Then, eventually, down votes and bad arguments made by morons really just don’t even bother you. Engage with better people, ignore the rest and chuck a down vote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people easily find out that I'm an easy to pick up on?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Draw firm boundaries with them on what they are allowed to say. If they say things you don’t like, verbalize it in some way. Start polite and move up from there. If they don’t stop, get HR involved for targeted harassment. I’ve had people that I had to tell “fuck off asshole” before they backed down. Most stop earlier though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capital of Estonia after a visit from Swedish football fans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just don’t be a dangerous, negligent person. It’s really not too much to ask. If someone thinks it is, then they’re probably one of the negligent ones.

  I agree, and I think it’s a reasonable expectation. We might not entirely agree on how to get there but I think we both want the same thing of personal responsibility and reasonable behavior.

  I don’t drink personally since I’ve seen it destroy lives and don’t trust myself to handle it. But I do know people that have just done dumb people things (both drinking related and not) and have corrected themselves and moved on to better things and behaviors. Some would’ve managed despite a harsh punishment, but some really wouldn’t have and would just have been a bigger problem in the end.

  Because of those experiences, I see people resorting to substances as people in need of help and rehab more than ones that need dire punishments. But even with that said, punishments should match the danger one caused. I also definitely agree multi offenders should see escalating punishments though. More especially if they cause damage to more than themselves. It’s one thing to pass out on a sidewalk, another to wreck some signage, or piss on a wall. But it’s another thing entirely to drunkenly drive a car, and yet another to hurt or kill someone else because of your stupid choices.

  It’s a difficult line to walk that gives adequate reeducation and mental support, and one that gives punishment on a deserving level and forces a suitable amount of restituionary actions. I agree though that we would need to see some major institutional changes for any of the solutions you and I have talked about to actually work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capital of Estonia after a visit from Swedish football fans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear what you are saying and understand it. I want to agree with it to. The only thing for me with punishments that severe is that you catch accidentals at a way higher rate, and it becomes super easy to ruin someone’s life as a corrupt law officer or whatever other position.

  I do think there is a probably a way to handle it that’s not life ruining but I don’t really want to delve into it that far atm. Besides that though, forfeiture of a license is just forfeiture of a license. That won’t stop people from driving without one. Especially if they need to get to a job to survive. I get that they make you angry, but extreme punishments like that tend to make life impossible or overly onerous to live and will just encourage and enable more risky behaviors. It comes into the cruel and unusual punishment territory.

  And you can’t expect people to behave better if you make life extremely harder to live. This isn’t dark souls lol. You have to find a balanced approach. Some kind of correctional support should be in place with a strong but not life ending punishment. I do agree that most of the time our punishments now for issues stemming from drunkenness are too lenient. Especially in the cases where drunk drivers kill someone else. The slap on the wrist for DUI related deaths is a slap in the face to the victims and their families.
