As a known .ml hater, nah man — they’re right. What you’re suggesting is extremely hypocritical. Do you realize how much better the U.S.’ current circumstances would be if instead of offshoring all of our factories we 1) held them to stronger environmental safety standards 2) didn’t fucking close them. Actually, the world would likely be much better off.

We’re in this mess because a shitload of people have willfully ignored the real cost of having their supermarket packed with meat 100% of the time, no exceptions. The real cost, 17.42 megatonnes of Co2 in 2022, from iPhone production alone. The real cost of their freedoms being paid for in blood and sweat from Chinese/Indian and 3rd world sweatshops.

So, yes, if we’re unwilling to shoulder environmental and labour burdens for our products — we should not have those products.

Dude what?

It’s perfectly fine if you wouldn’t date a trans person because they don’t match your genital preference, sex related things can be a deal breaker. But you’re not gay for dating a trans person of the opposite sex.

Ok, then the equal is true — I’m not transphobic for deciding I don’t want to date a trans person. Regardless of sexual part compatibility.

be pretty cool if we could fairly easy add an option for people in a wheelchair to get them walking. Clearly you’d rather they didn’t.

Great so you missed the point entirely, just like most people miss the point of games with one difficulty setting.

Silksong is a game, bright moving colors on a screen, meant to amuse and entertain.

You’re not an elite mountaineer for pressing buttons faster than a disabled person

Crying about difficulty in video games isn’t going to stop. There are thousands of video games that are not difficult. Play those.

You’re right, difference being that what you’re saying is more akin (following the analogy) to putting wheelchair ramps on a mountain.

Silksong is the mountain, git gud and climb it or shut the fuck up.

Well, in the books the physical differences between Earthers, Martians and Belters are very striking. Due to the lower gravity on Mars, and the even lower gravity on spinning asteroids in the belt; Earthers end up being much shorter than their counterparts with Belters looking very bizarre. I would imagine it would result in them being shorter, and if the gravity is high enough it could completely stunt the baby’s growth in a sort of inverse to what the Belters go through.

And the idea that every game should be for everyone is the reason why Elden Ring is… kind of a bad game.

Great open world, beautiful scenery… bad boss design, which yes — that is the game.

Like, think about this in the real world setting. Think about how this hyopthetical would play out, person becomes disabled and has to sit in a wheelchair. Everyone agrees ‘it’s not fair that they can’t walk, no one should walk because this person can’t’. And then everyone sits in a wheelchair despite being perfectly abled.

Does that make sense to you? Because it doesn’t to me, I’m sorry if there are people who can’t beat these games — but damn, at some point you have to recognize life isn’t fair and just enjoy the shit you do enjoy. If being good at a video game isn’t important to you, ok that’s your prerogative. Do not play the hard video game. But this constant whining about difficulty settings and nerfs is just obnoxious.

Everyone heard Hornet say git gud. If you say you didn’t, you either didn’t play HK or you’re a liar.

Silksong is the git gud game. It is the Bloodborne 2 we never got.

Edit: also it isn’t that hard.

According to a quick search (memory is foggy) it is set around 2350 — humans have colonized most of the solar system. They have fusion reactors and ships capable of traveling from Earth to the Jovian moons (I think? I’m not sure if they go further). There is definitely advanced medicine regarding surviving spaceflight (i.e. performing maneuvers that put you in otherwise unliveable circumstances without drugs).

The circumstances of Earth, Mars and the Belt are delicate. Without spoiling too much, no the Belters do not have good health care.

I like the Expanse, I was a fan of the books before the show. The show is good, some aspects are better than the books — but I haven’t actually finished the show itself. Give it a shot if you’re into hard science fiction!

Edit: I should note, a baby born in the belt could be taken to Mars or Earth and they would grow up fine. The Belters themselves aren’t riddled with genetic diseases or anything like that, growing up in low g’s is just fucked.

Ah, so make things worse — just like MAGA

If I’m not mistaken it is a developmental issue — wasn’t an O.P.A. agent tortured using the moons gravity? Or maybe they were in orbit, I’m not sure.

I’m pretty sure it’s also a major problem later on with the new planets being found — Belters have it way more rough than both Earthers and Martians. Like, to the tune of ‘get me the fuck off this rock’ rough.

No, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

It is a little darker than that, as Belters can’t actually live on Earth due to their bones being crushed and broken by gravity.

Not only are they slaves, they are very much trapped in space. Well, trapped if we’re avoiding spoilers.

I’m surprised to see a comment on a post from so long ago but yes, it was an incredibly blatant display.

I would argue that Blasphemous wouldn’t exist without Hollow Knight, and HK is still the better Metroidvania.

Dead Cells is not a Metroidvania game. It is a roguelite.

Edit: roguelite, not roguelike.

Because I do not want Microsoft to have access to all my documents.

That’s not how cloud save works! …

You need to explain why you think the second statement refutes the first.

It’s the latter, counter point; the tool never would have existed without the unethical scraping.

Then maybe they should choose their words more carefully, because that is not what their words portray
