Like violence and threats in the past are okay, but never in the present?
I don't think facts and logic enter into it. It's just emotion
There are a small subset of people who legitimately just don’t understand game development fundamentals though, and they actually believe that things would just be fully interchangeable. As in, you buy a skin in Fortnite, and you can then open up Roblox and set it as your player model.
Those ones are especially not the brightest.
The people who are like "you can just take your skin from Skyrim and put it in gta5 and it'll just work!!" people really are baffling. The hubris and ignorance is so much
I'm inclined to agree. Unfortunately, a lot of moderators on lemmy and other sites have a very strong "no calls for violence" stance.
I feel like "using them responsibly" includes not using them in class
Another one of those alienating moments for me.
One: I don't use spotify. Renting music is kind of a bad deal, IMO.
Two: I don't shuffle music. I usually pick an album and play it.
Also never heard of it, but if it was exclusive to china that explains why.
Any word on the gameplay? Main line borderlands games are kind of mediocre, so I don't imagine an MMO would be better.
I do wonder how all the "violence is never the answer" folks will go if it comes to that. I think a lot of them would side with ICE, sadly.
Personally, I won't be upset if a would-be nazi meets an abrupt end to their career.
Hmmm I see your point. I guess I'll just keep giving "recommend / don't recommend" reviews and writing the details with words.
It's too bad steam doesn't have a "mixed" review option.
Like Fallout4. It's terrible. Bad story. bad gameplay. Buggy. But I still sometimes mod it the fuck up and play anyway, because I want a kind of stupid stealth shooter or to stomp around in power armor. So I don't really recommend it, but you could do worse.
I have a family member that's similar - they get really mad at inconsequential changes on the computer. But they also refuse to learn anything, so they're just mad all the time. They also treat their phone like a capricious deity- they're afraid to touch anything.
On the other hand, I have another family member that spends a lot of his time tinkering with linux. Years ago I got fed up fixing his windows machine I slapped xubuntu on his machine, and he took to it. He's done several updates and fresh installs since.
Both of them are retired, so it's not like they're hurting for free time.
I feel like that's long been a trend- instead of trying to lift users up and educate them, let's just give up and hide things.
Yes! That was a key thing in what made New Vegas interesting. We've had hundreds of stories of post apocalypse, scrounging in the ruins for duct tape. New Vegas was about what happens after that. That's fresher ground.
Bethesda just want kitschy, shallow, shit. They're creatively extremely lacking.
The new mechanic of fusion cores kind of sucks though. It's not fun having to manage the 20 minute batteries.
all it is is armor that weighs a ton
In the original, armor made a big difference. The Bethesda games suffer from bad HP/damage systems. In the original it made you nearly immune to small arms fire and lasers. It was a big deal.
If they wanted to have the stupid minigun death claw sequence early on, they should've had you find just the frame. No armor, just the ability to use heavy weapons.
Now you can keep power armor cool, and still do the stupid intro gimmick.
Or have the set on the roof damaged so it can't walk.
Anything other than fusion cores would probably be better.
This supports what I read elsewhere about the best way to kill someone and get away with it is to hit them with your car. Don't like your neighbor? Boss being a prick? Wait for them to be out for a bike ride and "bump" them. System's fucked.
Careful! The moderators here don't like that kind of talk.
Thank you, thank you. Unfortunately, the moderation team seems to take a dim view. I guess they'd prefer we only express anger in civil, inoffensive, manners.
Not as violent as what the far-right want to do to everyone else!
