Game developers hate players. They keep breaking our beautiful games and optimizing the fun out of them!

- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 5 weeks ago:
I listen to one weekly news podcast (Lage der Nation), that focuses on the most important topics for where I live, which includes big international events.
Getting an update on the relevant happenings once a week, feels way healthier than reading what’s going horribly wrong somewhere multiple times a day.
I had to unfollow and unsubscribe a bit on mastodon and Lemmy to reduce the amount of news I see there, but now it’s tolerable.
However, I still have to take breaks, when I feel my mental health isn’t up for it.

Absolutely! I feel like they actually have the opposite effect here in Lemmy. People seem to read the click bait title and just down vote without engaging at all. I might need to start tweaking the titles when I post them here.

- Comment on it's a war out there 1 month ago:
It’s an old WW1 or WW2 story. They were constantly trying to improve their planes and thus analyzed the returning planes to figure out where they needed more protection. However, as the story goes, they did not account for the fact that the bullet holes where only in non-critical spots, because the planes that got hit on critical spots did not come back.

There are people with imposter syndrome, who you wish would say more and then there are people with overinflated self confidence, who just won’t shut up.

The viewers aren’t the game masters, though. I honestly wouldn’t want to participate in a game where I have to retain the attention of people without giving them anything of value. I think at some point those who participate also need to take some responsibility.

Lovely, always great to read well thought out comments by people who took the time to try and understand what’s being said instead of going by the headline and their preconceived notions.
Also love the language, really makes me want to participate more in this community!

- Comment on If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently? 2 months ago:
I recommend Radio Paradise! It’s an independent online radio stream with a great, eclectic selection and no ads, except the occasional reminder that they are donation financed. It’s honestly one if not the best radio stream there is.

Just randomly got this recommended today. Really enjoyed it and now I have a new channel to binge through :D

I think this is a good definition: shitpost.urbanup.com/11938797
Honestly, I don’t understand people who post “normal” stuff here. Aren’t there more suitable places? Or is it to maximize reach or fake internet point gathering?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Yes, officially “everything goes”, but I feel something shouldn’t be considered a shitpost if it’s just something funny. For me a shitpost needs to be deliberately low quality and/or dumb in itself. This is just an arguably funny post, that I’d expect to find in funny or politicalhumor.

not a shitpost

I had the same issue just a week ago after resetting my phone. As was said here I had to deregister my device in Google, because they didn’t know that I had reset that device. For Google it was a complete new device in my hand, despite it still being the same phone after reset. That’s why Google tried to make me F2A on what it thought was my old device.
Only after removing the old device in Google on my computer was I able to login on it again.

He has worked in TV for quite a while, so I would assume he knows what he is talking about. On the other hand, I can also imagine that he has become a little too perfectionist for his own good.
- Comment on I just finished Home, a lesbian-themed supernatural horror movie. It has bad reviews on IMDb, but I’m here to tell you those reviews are wrong. Despite its low budget, Home is actually a solid horror 5 months ago:
There are quite a few movies called Home on imdb, a link or release year would be helpful

This is exactly the Cyberpunk we expected. Cyberpunk has never been shy about being a dystopia.
- Comment on I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying. 11 months ago:
Okay, a bunch of thoughts come to mind.
I love Diablo, but a big part of it was the atmosphere and also me being young and never having seen anything like it. That’s pretty hard to recreate. I heard the game Halls of Torment nailed the Diablo atmosphere, but as a Vampire Survivors-like gameplay. Basically it’s focused on the grind and progression. Maybe, that’s something for you? Personally, I haven’s found anything that is as fun as Diablo, so every now and then I play Diablo 1 with a new mod, like the new The Hell 3 Mod. It brings back the wonder of the unknown, because there is lots of new stuff in there. I also loved Book of Demons, which is basically a streamlined version of Diablo 1 with a dark comedic twist.
I think you underestimate the satisfaction that comes from clearing levels in Diablo. Yes, it could be a different theme and still work, but isn’t that proof of how potent it is? So the question is, why does it feel like a grind to you? I wager it’s because the magic Diablo had for you got lost over time. You know how they work now, you’ve seen behind the curtain and thus don’t feel the danger, the intrigue like you used to. Maybe you will find it in games like Elden Ring that you don’t see through right away?
About the stats progression: I think a very big part of the fun of progressing your character comes from doing it the way you want. It’s a form of expression. You want to be a Necromancer that only uses Golems or a Mage focused on ice. I think what a lot of Diablo-likes miss is finding a good way to allow lots of expression in character development. Too often I feel boxed in by the class and it doesn’t feel like it’s my Tinkerer, but the Tinkerer instead. A good Diablo-like has abilities that define the character instead of just simple stat increases and cooldown reductions and all that.
Lastly, if you haven’t seen it there is a great Diablo 4 Critique on YouTube that might give some more food for thought!
- Comment on If Bethesda released Skyrim today, they would have made it woke 11 months ago:
Yeah, I can see our difference in how we defined what’s shoe-horned in. And I get that you’re not saying diversity in media is bad. However, respectfully, I don’t think your definition of shoe-horned makes a lot of sense if you think it through. Is the music shoe-horned in, because it’s not critical to the plot? You said yourself that adding information that isn’t critical to the plot is necessary or the movie will be bland. If it’s necessary to the movie, wouldn’t you agree that it is critical? It may not be for the plot, but it is for the movie. Movies aren’t just plot. A lot of great movies (Nomadland, Patterson, Dazed and Confused, Coffee and Cigarettes, The Straight Story, …) don’t have a lot of plot or tell a great story. Instead they focus on the characters and the mood.
I think your example with the “blond, blue eyed, straight white men” betrays your perspective. This isn’t describing the default human being. Most people on earth aren’t like that. But it is the de facto default in western media. Why is it that? Because for a long time it was white men who made the decisions. Now that it has become a norm, everything that deviates needs a justification. And that’s kinda fucked up, isn’t it?
So, I think the question isn’t, why don’t “normal” character traits get the same hate as “alternate” traits? The question is, who defines what is normal?
