It’s a common saying, it’s not a literal thing

I know it’s a game journalism circlejerk so I shouldn’t have expectations but I’m still disappointed by this year’s choices overall.

It’s a shame cs is one of the worst-feeling shooters for me… actually fortnite’s shooting felt awful too, it’s a huge part of why I couldn’t get into it.

Yeah I saw it nominated for the game awards when I went and looked earlier. Looked neat but if it’s denuvo I guess not.

I played it for a few hours a while back, it was alright. It also took me a couple of times to get into factorio so I can understand. Still prefer factorio though, great art style, incredibly polished game.

Yeah you can even postprocess it to be pretty similar to pixel art from the render

Sorry blizzard but you can’t un-fuck your past with more warcraft remasters.

14, so yeah I guess that’s more of an exception. I did play a tiny bit of 13 but hated the combat

Do you normally control more than one character then? I’ve only ever controlled one character in the ff I’ve played so that sounds weird.

Well the way you said “we don’t need to play anything on Linux” implies that you’re against the idea, my response was asking what you’d be doing instead. I’m not lost, I was wondering what headspace you’re in that you’re against that entirely. However it looks like you meant it in a purely literal sense. Most games aren’t exploiting children though, so that’s why I’d draw a line there.

Well if you’d rather nobody plays anything on Linux then you obviously have something else in mind so it has everything to do with this. You’re the one insisting that it should only be used for some other purpose.

What would you rather do then?

I’m surprised turkey is the first one to do this but… good.

Lemmy’s mostly alright, it’s nice that it is more politically open, though I’ve seen a lot I don’t agree with from some groups, namely hexbear, but also a bit from other places. ml is a mixed bag for me but at least you can just straight up block things easily.

My interests are more about the actual engineering involved, like it’s crazy how we can throw a piece of metal kilometres away to within a metre. And there’s something satisfying about how they fit together. But yeah I wouldn’t trust anyone with guns.

I guess some people enjoy ads

I could deny that a human’s experience has any value, true. But I generally don’t.

I got banned from apex multiplayer on my main ea account when I wasn’t even actively playing the game so I’ve already been boycotting it for years…

Not normally, that wouldn’t make much sense. It’s easier to just say you signed an NDA and anyone with sense knows you’re not allowed to talk about the work.

So what happened then?
