Okay, good, that wasn’t just me. Had to read it 3 times… anyway, bring it! Loved postal 2, stupid as it may be.

- Comment on Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver - Official Teaser Trailer 1 week ago:
Nah, that wouldn’t be enough to differentiate PoE to hzd, imo. It’s like comparing Max Payne to CSGO. Or I dunno… rocket league to Football manager… or Mario party to street figther… trying to cover as many bases here to cover the games that you might be more familiar with. xD. Point is, in both games you get a character which you level up and customize by doing quests and killing mobs, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end, as far as the gameplay, mechanics and goals of fans go.
And for the record, despite this also being called an arpg, it’ll be very different from both PoE and hzd. ARPG seems to be as vague as “driving game” or “shooter”.
- Comment on Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver - Official Teaser Trailer 1 week ago:
Well, in this case, I just saw op say that this game was gonna be an arpg and because I play a lot of PoE, last epoch, etc. I was expecting something in that vein. Then I open the link and I see 2 seconds of something that looks more like hades or god of war and I was disappointed. So if me wishing we had better terms for various genres makes me a prescriptivist, I guess I am one, in this case.
Also tdggrpg is too complicated of a subgenre name, I feel xD
- Comment on Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver - Official Teaser Trailer 1 week ago:
We need more subgenres! What do you call breath of the wild or the spiderman games in that case?
Imo god of war/ horizon are aptly named because they’re action focused RPGs.
We need new, better name for the “diablo-like” games, however. I feel like those are different enough that there’s not enough “rpg” left in them beyond the character building elements. Survivorslike aren’t RPGs despite them having character leveling and stuff so why should diablo 4 /Poe be called rpgs?

- Comment on Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver - Official Teaser Trailer 1 week ago:
We’ve only seen 2 seconds of gameplay, how can you be sure it’s not a rogue like or something?
Also, this comment reminded me how ridiculous I find it that we have genres such as “metroidvania” and “souls like”, “auto shooter” , “survivors like” and etc. Yet we can’t come up with subgenre names other than arpg which can describe everything from Bastion, to Horizon Zero down, to path of exile. What’s up with that?

My claim? You don’t even care who you’re replying to, everyone is wrong and nothing else matters xD

People also claim the earth is flat. Your point?
- Comment on The Witcher 4 - Cinematic Trailer | State of Unreal 2025 1 week ago:
Most of the people that appear in Witcher trailers are just random victims or passer-bys.
This video was split into 2, in the other half we learn that the merchant told ciri that he was transporting salt. And that was a chest full of coins.
So, not your fault nor some lore that you’re unaware of.
- Comment on Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy teo longest eunning best friends. 2 weeks ago:
All 4 games are great. And I do enjoy the one and done deal of the first 2. I don’t mind finishing a game in a few hours. If anything, that’s actually a bonus nowadays. Most games I stop halfway and never finish.
However, if you were to just focus on finishing the main story and consider that enough, I think you could finish Hades just as quickly. So to me Hades is just the same kind of game but with more replayability.

- Comment on Common British L 3 weeks ago:
Well, there’s no “British cuisine” per se, but there are British restaurants. For example a pretty famous and influential one. Also, most pubs serve food and those are now pretty much everywhere in the world, that’s quite British, isn’t it? Dunno the history, but I always associated it with the Brits, maybe I’m wrong.

Exactly. The app has been shitty for almost a decade now. How much slack are we supposed to cut to a multibillion dollar company?

Huh, interesting. That’s what the huntsman does to the wolf in little red riding hood, actually. Or well, in the version I’ve heard when I was a kid.
- Comment on The kids are ready for it... 4 weeks ago:
In Romania we have a story about a goat with 3 kids written by a famous author.Source.
Shortened version: She leaves the kids at home and tells them not to open to door for anyone. Wolf comes, the 2 older kids open the door cause they’re idiots, small one hides. Older kids get eaten and the wolf leaves their heads by the window.
Mom comes home, young kid tells her what happened and she decides to invite the wolf to a meal. There’s a big hole where she puts hot coals or something and covers it with a bunch of twigs or something and places the table on top.
Wolf comes, eats and eventually falls in the hole once the hot coals weaken the twigs enough. Goat and kid throw some stuff on the fire to weaken it and then kill the wolf by throwing big rocks at him since he can’t escape the hole.

Now you tell me?!
- Comment on Is water an acid or a base? 1 month ago:
I believe that’s caused by the CO2, but I’d have to test to be sure, brb.
- Comment on Is water an acid or a base? 1 month ago:
I know it’s a joke and all, but it’s not just the pH that makes something burn. A regular coke has a pH of around 2.5, for example.

Yeah, you’re probably right… And I know what you mean, got an Asperger’s diagnosis as an adult and while that’s relatively mild on the spectrum, it still makes things difficult sometimes.
- Comment on It must tremble 1 month ago:
Yeah, I know, I agree. But it’s a joke, ofc it’s exaggerated. Nobody is seriously saying it’s that much effort to play with a cat. At least I hope not
- Comment on It must tremble 1 month ago:
Well, they probably mean that it feels like more work for us because we also have other shit to do, we’re tired, etc. while the cats only sleep and eat the rest of the time. And also, depending on the cat, sometimes they just hide in a corner for a few minutes, run after the toy for 3 seconds then they hide again for a minute, then they run again for 3 seconds and so on. Meanwhile you keep trying to entice them and they’re just sitting there while you dance for them with the toy.
Also, from what I’ve read, unless you’re using treats at the same time as a reward sort of thing, lasers might be stressful for the cats because they don’t get to catch anything.

I mean, when even people on Lemmy (who are supposed to be a bit more tech literate and stuff) insist that the solution is cutting a couple 2 letter words from your search query to make everything much shorter and efficient, are you even surprised?
I’ve been thinking for a while that people seem to be getting dumber and it might actually be true I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that fascism and other forms of conservatism seem to be on the rise pretty much everywhere in the world.
