BLUF: Agreed. Games don’t need realism to be fun. They need fun to be fun.

Aside from obvious genres like simulators, horror, or other niche games, graphics don’t, and shouldn’t be, the main focus of a game.

It could just be plain fun. I’d prefer games with a bunch of sandbox niche mechanics than seeing a tree in 4k upscale. Like Noita or Terraria.

Or a deep story. The original Talos Principle was alright on its graphics at the time, but it prioritized the story and puzzles. It was a fundamental game that shaped many of the philosophies I hold still today.

Graphics can be important, but I’d also prefer stylized over realistic any day. That’s why some of the older games still hold up today, graphically.

Wind Waker, the old 3d mario games, Bioshock, Oblivion (terrain, not people lol)

All had really really solid art. And it still looks good. Because it didn’t try to push the limits on making the game look real.

Back when Modern Warfare 2 released on the 360, I saw little dust clouds, and thought that it was the greatest game for realism ever at the time. The graphics were so good. Going back? Dogwater.

Reminds me of the Wigglers from Super Mario Sunshine

Chickens have a cloaca, silly.

Average gaijin employee

Two separate and very distinct oof moments in that book.

Foxhole. War 115.

Just wish I had a good team to play with.

Autism is better than every ism.

That was such a clear, concise, mostly unbiased statement for a heavily political statement. Bravo.

Their talons are wicked too. Got me as w Child and now I have scars across my cheeks.

Theyre extremely faint now, but if I was any older when it happened, they’d definitely affect how stunningly beautiful I am.

Ugh. I fly home in a week. Hope it’s not horrible by then.

More like, politically speaking, the bottle has been shaken. Others are far more likely to take action now.

My $460 power bill in texas agrees I hate it here but my entire support community is located here :(

Do you mean like an eye tracking system for headsets in wt? I’ve always just used vr if I wanted that capability.

Noita is a fantastic game.

The magic is that you have two major components. Wands and spells. After every level, you get an opportunity to tinker with the wands you’ve found by replacing spells you have on them with other wands to make something better.

It’s a roguelike, and has no real tutorial, but it’s definitely one of those niche games I’ve put serious time into.

It’s never just a single issue, it’s a broad scope of ideas from outdated people. We keep consistently voting for people in their 70s who should retire. They don’t know what’s best for the future because they won’t have to live with the consequences of their actions.

For the executive office at least,

For congress, both parties taking huge swaths of lobbying money and corruption by huge corporations.

Lobbying should be illegal and we need an age and term limit.

Two party system is too vague and horrific. Will never vote for anyone in either party.

I might just be a drop in the pond, but I’ll vote independent for the rest of my life.

They are? Being human relies on community and compassion for others. If you scam someone else, you deserve nothing but the dirt you walk on, let alone the clothes on your back. Regardless of gender, race, sex, etc.

I’m a bit lost. I didn’t justify using racist terms. I’m saying that scammers lack the core traits of humanity, compassion and care in others.

And they don’t deserve anything, let alone feeling comfortable in a conversation, or the air they breathe.

That is regardless of race, sex, gender. If you scam someone else, you don’t deserve life.

I didnt say using racial slurs is correct. I said the act of scamming someone is so far removed from the identity of what it means to be human.

I never defended the terminology used in the post. Nor would I use that. Its shallow, and means far less than telling them they aren’t someone capable of receiving any care.

While yes it is absolutely racist, scammers are not capable of having an identity associated with someone who is on par with humanity. They’re far below animals.

I prefer the term “demihuman” or any other dehumanizing language so they know who they are.

Minus the human trafficked ones of course. Only the vast majority who do it willingly.

Edit: let me clarify. I did not say using racist terminology is correct nor justified. I’m saying that people who scam others are so far removed from the identity of humanity and compassion that they do not deserve the light of day, much less the air they breathe.
