  Good I hope not. It’s the only bad thing about the hitman games.

  Upvote for ruffle

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All good points. It only stuck with me when I heard it because I personally loved the term moron (it’s fun to say and can be really cutting). But I’m also well aware that loads of the words me and my friends used growing up are now (rightly) frowned upon.

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moron_(psychology)?wprov=sf…

  Moron is a term once used in psychology and psychiatry to denote mild intellectual disability.[1] The term was closely tied with the American eugenics movement.[2] Once the term became popularized, it fell out of use by the psychological community, as it was used more commonly as an insult than as a psychological term. It is similar to imbecile and idiot.[3]

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Weren’t idiot, moron and imbecile medical terms specifically used by white scientists to describe black people back in the good old eugenics days of the 1920’s America? Language changes sure but it often has very racist roots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's with black superheroes and lightning powers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I commented before reading the whole post. Apologies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's with black superheroes and lightning powers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Storm (not lightening based, just a part of her power set), Bishop, Cecilia Reyes - just off the top of my head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🫡🫡🫡⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t that said to minimise the authority of experts rather than as a statement on the public? Specifically, Gove was trying to pass policies that the so called ‘experts’ were saying wouldn’t work so he tried to spin the narrative by saying politicians shouldn’t listen to experts and people should do what they’re told.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to be a very patient gamer but yes, they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I will definitely play this at some point. Returnal is up there in my like, top 5 games of the past few years. I will happily wait for sale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t think these games would be my jam but I ended up enjoying both a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it weird that I cringe whenever someone calls my name and I avoid using peoples names when talking to them?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people do this to convey that they are listening and paying attention. However, when overused, (like saying sometimes name 5 times in a sentence in a one to one conversation) I have always found it disingenuous and try to avoid doing it myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We dunking on England again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I certainly would encourage anyone to cook it they have the time but the point of beans on toast, is it’s quick and easy. And Heinz is the best choice though an own brand is usually fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We dunking on England again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, What’s going on with those beans? Heinz those are not!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please suggest me Comedy Based Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, because the conversations have to be so exposition heavy to drop all the relevant hints, it makes some exchanges seem soap-opera-like and absurd. I love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the first game you ever bought ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t remember the specific one but probably one of the Dizzy the egg games for the Spectrum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS6 and Xbox Project Helix "will start at a 50% higher price" than PS5 and Xbox Series X, predict analysts following Sony price hike – and $999 "is not impossible"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We must be reaching a plateau in terms of generational leaps in between consoles. Though I love the PS5 it’s not a huge jump from PS4, just slightly better graphics and better frame rates. As things stand, I can’t see a need to upgrade for years. PS5 it’s only 6 years old. It’s easily got another 6, maybe 10 years in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since the Sega MegaDrive, I’ve always been a console kid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it really do be like that⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your opinion on post-game content? do you do it? or are you done with the game when the credits roll?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Completely agree. It’s a very immersion breaking move. Looking at you, Cyberpunk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To add to that: You can’t reason someone out of an argument they didn’t reason themselves into.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fully Modded Skyrim VR in Samsung Galaxy XR is Something Else⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only got a ps5 so I’ll never get to try all this but it does sound cool as hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fully Modded Skyrim VR in Samsung Galaxy XR is Something Else⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for taking the time to answer! Sounds really cool to be honest.

  If only Morrowind could work in VR.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fully Modded Skyrim VR in Samsung Galaxy XR is Something Else⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I will probably never play VR or Skyrim again but I’ve always been curious about Skyrim VR as it does sound kind of amazing.

  How long can you take it per session? Any motion sickness? How is movement handled? And it’s always shown in screenshots which can’t do it justice. Any way to post a video?

  Sorry, that’s a lot of questions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Assassinations aside, Hitman has loads of ways to mess with people.

  That’s Numberwang

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shaun Murray was a young, naive man, who was given a ton of exposure/press and (clearly) zero guidance on how to navigate that. It seems to me, he got completely swept up in all the hype of it all and didn’t have enough experience to manage his own mouth. They clearly wanted to include everything they ended up including but reality rarely works out like that.

  All the salty “but he lied” comments seem very unfair to me.

  Meanwhile few people say CD Projekt Red “lied” when they released a (clearly unfinished) “finished” version of Cyberpunk 2077. They updated it and everyone moved on praising the DLC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even now, ten years on, even on little ol’ Lemmy, there are many comments about how Hello Games “lied” and the fans didn’t get what they were “promised”. Wild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the definitive way to play certain games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Headphones

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Despite the very standard protagonist, Dying Light was a real treat.

  My Christmas game this year has been Jusant. Just got to the last chapter and it’s been the perfect vibe.
