  You’re inventing a lot of enemies here and listening to no one.

  Nobody is claiming all mobile games are gacha, just pointing out that all the ones you talked about initially are, and they wildly dominate the market.

  Honestly I don’t know why I’m bothering, I have more to say but this a waste of my time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  And yet you jumped all over people claiming to have played enough games to be able to recognize crap when they see it. Again, you’re dismissing real people while standing up for what exactly? Defending corporate garbage?

  I enjoy the occasional mobile game too, I don’t have an issue with your general opinion. But you certainly aren’t convincing anyone with the childish attitude and ridiculous reasoning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The hypocrisy of claiming that you can’t judge any game without physically playing it yourself, then turning around and judging thousands of people you’ve never interacted with based on a couple interactions, is absolutely staggering.

  Consider giving human beings the same benefit of the doubt that you give to software.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re judging the gaming habits of the entire population of Lemmy based on a couple anecdotes from random threads? And you want to talk about not making snap judgements?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dolph is prime human⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Based on what exactly? I’ve gone to one of his events, he’s pretty explicit about being a science educator. I can’t say I’ve seen him claim otherwise anywhere, though people definitely like to put those words in his mouth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gavin Newsom Is So Insanely Woke That He Can't Even Call His Wife A Woman⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Her’ is the director of Homeland Security I clearly referenced, Kristi Noem, who claimed to be in California to remove Government Newsom from power.

  This OP is an article criticizing Newsom for calling his wife the ‘First Person’ in a social media post.

  Hope that clears up the details for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gavin Newsom Is So Insanely Woke That He Can't Even Call His Wife A Woman⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the justification they’ve used in court for sure, but did you listen to the words that came out of her mouth? That’s the scary part. That’s the person in charge of US Homeland Security, literally telling a town hall that they’re here to remove their elected government.

  And you’re sitting here squawking about Newsom calling his wife a person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gavin Newsom Is So Insanely Woke That He Can't Even Call His Wife A Woman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Last week the director of Homeland Security told the people of California that the National Guard was deployed against American citizens in California for the purpose of ‘liberating them’ from their democratically elected leadership.

  Is this the justification for his corruption? He called his wife a person?

  No, I probably won’t ‘get it’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gavin Newsom Is So Insanely Woke That He Can't Even Call His Wife A Woman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How exactly does using the term ‘first person’ in one online post mean anything at all? This is the most pathetic nonsense I’ve ever seen. The only people looking bad here are the idiots slopping down this culture war bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gavin Newsom Is So Insanely Woke That He Can't Even Call His Wife A Woman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would anyone possibly care about this? How are you possibly this insecure?

  Honestly yeah this just seems like an ad trying to generate interest for yet another AI app. Seems like the type of engagement meta often tries to court.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Andor' Season 2 Debuts to Nielsen Viewership High With 721 Million Minutes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plenty of good moves are slow, it takes time to setup a deep story. I hope you’d give Casablanca or Schindler’s List more of a chance.

  But Andor is a political thriller, it’s not a fun action/adventure. If you think the beginning is boring, you probably won’t enjoy the rest anyway, it’s not for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨70% of games that require internet get destroyed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty much exactly what I’m saying. If you offer software that requires outside servers to run, you should be legally obligated to release the code used to run the servers if you discontinue supporting that software. That doesn’t make mmo’s any different, just a minor change to how they handle end of life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Andor' Season 2 Debuts to Nielsen Viewership High With 721 Million Minutes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You gave up 2/3 of the way through the first story arc. With the 3rd episode it clocks in at about 2 hours, there’s your movie.

  You stopped the movie a little over halfway through, what did you expect?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨70% of games that require internet get destroyed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Or people are used to this concept and accept it normal instead of unethical behavior that should be illegal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This has got to be machine printed right? They’re no worse than Wizard’s usual minis, but yeah they always suck. The biggest problem IMO is the sculpt, they look like they’re made out of mud. I assume it has to do with the rubber they use. I don’t know, I’m way too spoiled by printing my own to consider buying something that looks this bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump sparks liberal meltdown as he axes taxpayer funding for NPR and PBS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So then should be easy to make up for the lack of taxpayer funding then, right? If it costs so little, the people who care about it should be happy to pay for it. :)

  I’m not gonna engage with bad faith bait. That’s idiotic and we both know it.

  They could have avoided this if they would have stayed neutral in their reporting and staffing.

  Well I guess they could have given up reporting on reality like most corporate media, but that was one of the primary advantages of not being a corporate owned propaganda machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump sparks liberal meltdown as he axes taxpayer funding for NPR and PBS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Truly pathetic. They cost the American people so little, and have done incredible good for this country. This is nothing but a loss for all Americans, and will do nothing to help balance this dumpster fire of a budget.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meow >:)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My understanding is that they were embryos from HIV infected parents, so they had very little chance of avoiding infection during birth. His argument is that their chances of survival were already so low, there’s little harm that could be done if the treatment wasn’t effective.

  Cool, at this rate he only needs to cut another 56,000 contracts to make up for the 500 billion in lost tax revenue this clown will cost us this year.

  I think moreso an opportunity for developers of specific genres to get attention in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game Freak Leak Reveals Gen 10 Details, Pokemon MMO, And Codename Synapse⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t know why the headline is so shitty, but the “mmo” seems to be a splatoon-like multiplayer game unrelated to pokemon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony. What are you even doing right now? PS5 Pro Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that is my argument, we hit diminishing returns this generation, and further upgrades are a waste of money.

  If you have anything relevant to add, it’s certainly welcome, but ignoring context to try to make my point sound worse is just wasting both our time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony. What are you even doing right now? PS5 Pro Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m confused why you seem like you’re arguing with me but still fundamentally making the same point. Those improvements don’t inherently make games more fun, but they create opportunities for variety and new elements to the medium. It was previous tech improvements that made Halo and F.E.A.R. possible, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

  But processing power isn’t really a relevant limitation to game design anymore. I genuinely don’t see any future console generations being particularly enticing for me, outside an upgrade to my steam deck, especially when most of what I play is 5-20 years old anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony. What are you even doing right now? PS5 Pro Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to assume you’re too young to remember previous generations.

  Increased power makes a difference up to a point, but we’re now so far into diminishing returns you can hardly tell the difference between a ps4 game and the ps5 ‘enhanced’ if you don’t have a 4k TV.

  Increased computing power used to open up entirely new concepts in gaming. 3D environments, then larger and larger worlds, dynamic physics engines, more complex NPC Ai and more power to run larger numbers of enemies at a time.

  Now, it hardly matters. There’s more than enough power to do pretty much anything you want. Unlimited worlds, thousands of NPCs, photorealistic graphics, and absolutely nothing new. It can always be ‘bigger and better’ but at what point does that stop mattering? For me, it was last console generation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony. What are you even doing right now? PS5 Pro Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, better lighting doesn’t do a damn thing to make a game more fun. The only notable difference that even matters is better load times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Monster Hunter⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m hoping they finally figure out the tutorial balance in Wilds. Earlier games had next to nothing for tutorials, and you pretty much had to look outside the game to even understand the basic movesets of the weapons, much less how things like skills work. I think they overcorrected with the recent ones though, it’d be nice if they could get a little better about introducing information in the world instead of constantly stopping the action to make sure the player sees it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you need a male/female USB?

  This device is basically just a really short charging/data cable. I don’t understand what’s so confusing about it. It’s functionally identical to using the standard charging cable, just with the devices closer together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's Emissions Spike 29% as AI Gobbles Up Resources⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, you still haven’t. It’s still a blatantly nonsensical premise. Humans aren’t just spontaneous power generators, we turn food into energy. If the machines can grow food to feed humans, they could just burn the plant material directly, increasing efficiency tenfold and eliminating all need for a wasteful energy sink like running a massive virtual reality.

  So y’know, I’m more worried about a Terminator future.
