But gamers don’t actually need to understand game design or why a certain choice was made.

I said this in another thread: if it’s a shit design, it’s a shit design. Knowing why the shit design was made does not suddenly make it not shit. In fact, I do not care to know why you made that decision in the first place - if it’s bad, then just own up to it and either try to fix the issue or actually resolve to do better next time.

Kind of an odd anecdote, but I remember when bronies were a thing, they legitimately made an entire community effort to scrub all the porn and adult-target content from My Little Pony searches so kids won’t see stuff like the Rainbow Dash cum jar when they look up MLP.

Kinda wish more internet communities made that kind of effort to clean stuff up so kids aren’t desensitized to horrible stuff early on.

EDIT: hot damn, the post is still up for those curious about the brony stuff

You know how rich people go “I earn so much money, I can’t even spend it all” and such?

Yeah, how the fuck have we not put 2 and 2 together and not tax the shit out of them? Oh yeah, we let them buy out the legislation.

It’s still less expensive than a PC hobby

Only if you plan on either never paying for an online sub for the console or paying for an online sub for less than 5 years on the console, and also take into consideration that a PC can both game and be a computer you can use for other things.

A gaming PC has a higher upfront cost, but it’s a better long-term value. Let’s say you buy a PS5 for $500, and then pay for 5 years of PS+ for the old price, $60. That’s $800 for a friggin console already, but let’s also consider that most people either have a laptop or a tablet for doing computer-related tasks. Reasonable people would pay probably somewhere in the $400-$600 range, but let’s give the console a chance and say we got a $400 laptop. That’s $1200 now.

Using that $1200 as a budget, you can get a computer with a 4060ti, a 12th gen i5, a 1TB NVME SSD, and 16GB RAM for around $1100. Note that, say, 5 years down the line from buying this PC, you can just swap in and out parts as you want and be able to sell old parts for some money back, so staying up-to-date to play whatever current games can be cheaper too depending on the part prices.

Oh no, freedom of speech absolutely means you can say whatever you want, threats included.

What most people don’t include is that people are free to absolutely react to what you say and you suffer whatever consequences, be it good or ill, your words have.

Yup, just moved to Mint on my laptop since I’ve been getting some issues with Windows draining the battery quick despite it being in “good health” according to Dell, and just general performance hiccups across Windows.

Super low CPU and RAM usage, snappier performance for word processing and surfing, and a longer battery life? With no tracking features to boot? All for free? Hell yeah I’ll move over to Linux lol.

Honestly, better to pirate the game because ZA/UM fucked over the original devs and now they don’t get any money from the game’s sales - and it ruined any potential for a sequel.

Here’s a Youtube vid on that drama.
