  • So?

    I hate how every game want to compete for current playtime.

    I got way more than money’s worth out of this game, but I haven’t played in over a month. I hope that when I go back to it, there’s still a playerbase.

    But like, the developers planned for at best to get 10% of what they did…

    If they dropped that extra 90%, I don’t see why that should spell the end of the game. It’s the playerbase the game was designed for.

    There’s just this weird “first or worst” mentality with a lot of studios. I hope this game is just given the room to stretch it legs over a decade or so. Something people might not always keep installed on their console, but still download once or twice a year to get some games in.

    Games like that can be a success. Just because a lot of people burnt out doesn’t mean they’ll never play again.

    It’s just games like that don’t maximize investor returns. They want to churn out hits that people play exclusively for 3 months then drop, only to buy the new one next year.

    Yeah, dude tried to open his own personal Netflix and is surprised it got taken down.

    From post history he managed to keep it up for less than a month.

    I’m betting by “friends” he meant either online friends he’s never met, or people he wanted to impress.

    So they gave zero fucks and handed it out to more people. Like, just the idea that you’re giving it to so many people that you actually buy a domain?

    There’s a reason everyone isn’t already doing it already.





  • and the reputation it has in competitive games

    And it’s also better to turn every graphical option down to zero to max frame rates…

    Realism and “most competitive” rarely go hand and hand.

    It’s like buying a Bentley and complaining about the 0-60 time, what’s “best” depends on what you’re going for.

    While lots of the kids are obsessed with rankings, they don’t actually matter. Matchmaking is going to throw you against people with similar stats, so you can sacrifice realism to be up a little higher, but it doesn’t really matter.

    So lots of older gamers stopped trying to cheese ratings and just play how they enjoy.

    If I have adaptive triggers and maxed graphics at 50 fps, and I’m playing try hards with the graphics of a PS1 and 195 fps, but even with all that they’re playing at my level…

    What changes?

    If I was playing with potatoes graphics and insane fps, I’d just be playing people as good as me that’s also cheesing.

    Hell, if we’re talking "most competitive " why are you even using a controller?

    You’re already sacrificing peak performance if you’re not M&kb

    Using adaptive triggers and good graphics is just an extension of that decision. If you don’t want to, that’s cool. You’ll play slightly better players and get the same w/l record.

    There’s no point in maxing w/l, k/d, or any other stat over someones enjoyment of the game.





  • You should read the sidebar’s at least, they’re heavily biased, but upfront about it.

    It’s been their safe space longer than most other instances have been around. It’s also a good idea to look at modlogs when coming across a new sub/instance.

    Not everything shows up there though. Like if someone is banned and has all their content removed, it won’t all show up in the log. But when individual comments are removed, it’ll show you what was said.

    Don’t just assume everyone online will be upfront about their biases



  • Where has LW announced that they would be defederating?

    People kept saying it one of the recent daily threads people have been making.

    Which is what they are trying to achieve by promoting those communities in this post?

    You think posting repetitively here is the same as:

    If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

    How does that make sense?

    But if you want to move discussion off their communities make posts in those alternatives. That would actually do something.

    These posts are Susan G Kommen levels of difference making…


  • We getting one of these a day now?

    If you don’t like it, petition your admins (via posts on your own instance) to defed.

    If they don’t want to, find a new instance that does, or stay and block their instance so you don’t see their subs.

    If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

    I just don’t see the point of these posts when most Lemmy users have been around for a while and know what lemmy.ml is like by now.

    Be the change you want to see, post in those communities yourself instead of these daily announcements threads on an instance that’s already defederating apparently



  • You think the nuclear bombs were a genocide?

    Seriously, who “taught” you this stuff?

    I am genuinely curious where people presented all of this stuff you’re saying as history.

    Like, it’s almost like the only thing you know about civilian deaths in WW2 was American dropped nukes.

    There’s sooooo much that you’re missing. But unless you dropped out of school at a very young age, I can’t be the first person that tries to explain this to you

    So where are your opinions coming from?

    Is this a thing where you learned everything you know about a subject from YouTube videos?

    If so…

    Why?

    If you think there was anyway they’d have surrendered without nukes then yes, I will agree that you are “not an expert”.

    For fucks sake, after the nukes there was still an attempted coup to prevent surrender…

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyūjō_incident

    People thay think Japan surrendered because of loss of life, have no idea what they’re talking about about.

    Japan surrendered because they thought America had more nukes, and if they kept fighting then Japan would be left uninhabitable for centuries due to atomic contamination.

    The people who tried the coup, did so because they thought America didn’t have more nukes.

    They weren’t stupid,

    They weren’t, but honor was/is huge in their culture, and Japan was an empire for thousands of years.

    They’d have fought to the last Japanese civilian was alive

    They surrendered, and I know I’m repeating myself, because they thought their islands would be literally wiped off the face of the planet.

    Anything less wouldn’t have won the war and cost more lives on both sides.

    Even as a trolly problem, it’s not a tough call on if nukes saved lives.
