If Trump shat himself on live TV, conservative influencers would start shitting themselves on Tiktok and wherever else, claiming it's owning the libs.

You know what... they can just have that one, lol.

Bethesda was under no obligation to talk to these mod devs beforehand. But it sure makes them look bad. As a recent comparable, Concerned Ape was open and communicative with all the mod devs before releasing his latest patch for Stardew Valley, a game that is just about as old as Fallout 4.

Bethesda has become a literal laughingstock at this point in time and it's just funny to point at them every time they rack up another L.

How do you read any of that and come to the conclusion that anyone is "chastising" China? The other poster is right, you either didn't read it or are just a troll.

finthechat,
@finthechat@kbin.social avatar

The article is using China as an example that increased concrete usage and its accompanying production is bad for the environment. The article is not chastising China for trying to provide for its "basic fucking needs of a modern society" by building "hospitals, schools, bridges, fucking sidewalks."

Good: Nice special effects, nice wardrobes, nice sets, the ludicrous violence fits right in with the universe, and particularly the performances from the actors are very good. At least visually, it looks way better and the effects look way more convincing than 3 Body Problem, to use another recent show as a comparison.

Bad: apparently the show disregards New Vegas lore (personally idk I never played it), I think the editing is super bad, the story is average.

Oh man actually take that last comment with a grain of salt, I am seeing conflicting reports on the Steam boards about that today, sorry about that

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humour

finthechat,
@finthechat@kbin.social avatar

It was clearly a joke based on wordplay, not someone trying to assert a fact. That's why I linked the Wiki article for Humor, because it seems like a lot of people don't understand it.

finthechat,
@finthechat@kbin.social avatar

I'll explain everything in this comments section.

Top level comment talks about how the voice actor gets paid 100 Euros per word.

Next commenter makes a dumb joke comment (no it's eight and teen) that probably sHoULd hAvE beEN wRiTTeN likE tHis to get the point across. That's the wordplay.

Then the next people to remark on that comment literally come in and act offended that someone didn't know the word 18, as the joke flew over their big dumb heads. (Linking the dictionary link for eighteen, "hurr durr being wrong isn't inherently funny"). I responded to the first guy with the Wiki link to Humour because wow, some of y'all need to lighten up and stop being pedantic twits.

Then after that some smug guy comes in and moves the goal post to "no we just didn't think the joke was funny."

finthechat,
@finthechat@kbin.social avatar

I love when I try to explain things to people and provide information, they just cherry pick through the facts to only affirm their previous biases.

This is the sentence before your quote in the Wiki article:

The hypothetical person lacking a sense of humour would likely find the behaviour to be inexplicable, strange, or even irrational.

That's you.

Here's a picture since you don't seem to understand words:

Joke
You

Do you get it, since the joke went over your head.

    Witch Spring R

    Apparently this is an old series with a few other titles? I had never heard of it before.

    Key features: cute tone, anime styled, Japanese/Korean voiceover, 3rd person travel, JRPG turn based fighting, lots of things to grind and craft for making items and upgrading things, visual novel style dialogue, low stress mood while playing

    There's a lot of good about it. Particularly I think the lead Japanese voice actress is good and the overall presentation of how screens transition, the flow of gameplay from section to section (exploration, story, combat, crafting, minigames) are executed well.

    I am only about two hours in but I find myself feeling satisfied with just that much play. It's less of an indictment on the game itself and more me feeling that the game is not personally for me. While the polish is nice and the relaxed feeling to WSR is very pleasant, I prefer stories with more tension and conflict.

    Age of Wonders 4

    Very nice polish, horrible tutorial, hated it immediately for reasons I am not even sure about. I have played too many 4x games, I guess. It struck me as a game that wasn't bringing something new to the genre while also not excelling in a specific area either.

    If you liked this game, try to sell me on it. I still have it installed and am open to changing my opinion on it.

    Someone told me this a week ago and I think it's a perfect summary of what happened:

    disliking cyberpunk is an opinion people who don't form opinions have. I'm sure there are people who had glaring technical issues ruin their playthrough and that's fair. But for most of them it's just a fear of clowns/ hatred of pineapple pizza mouth sound they can make.

    I have been playing Phantom Liberty a lot. I've enjoyed it more than Starfield and BG3.

    Before PL came out, I had started playing Sea of Stars. But it was extremely difficult to get into. Besides the S+++ tier pixel art, I thought the writing was poor: boring characters, bad dialogue, bad worldbuilding all made worse by slow pacing. I am gonna revisit this game sometime in the future I guess, though I don't understand its appeal yet.

    Also I played Armored Core 6 for a few minutes and died to the tutorial mission helicopter like 10 times in a row. I guess some people find that fun, lol.

    Ignoring the second part of Blamemeta's comment, the first part is correct: Chinese in the context of this article isn't a race, it's a nationality.

    finthechat,
    @finthechat@kbin.social avatar

    I hope you're asking in good faith. I'll try and give you a response as tl;dr as possible here.

    Racism: hating people due to their ethnicity

    Not racism: criticizing people (even of a single nationality or ethnicity) because of their politics

    In the context of this article, most people in the comments are expressing privacy concerns over China controlling a larger percentage of the gaming market, and thus increasing the risk for demanding more data from the users installing that software on their machines. If anyone here were expressing racist concerns about this, people would be making disparaging remarks about yellow skin color or narrow eye shape, or something like that.

    Furthermore, incorrectly identifying racism where there is none actually detracts from the actual anti-racist sentiment - in fact, the one I believe you hold - by muddying the definition of what is and isn't actually racism.

    It just wasn't that good. Not terrible, but very bland. I put 30 hours in but finally stopped when I realized I wasn't having fun, I was only chasing the idea of fun.

    I don't even like DND and I thought BG3's first act put the entire story of Starfield to shame.

    Now I'm playing through Phantom Liberty and loving the hell out if it.

    finthechat,
    @finthechat@kbin.social avatar

    Lol the same thing happened to me the first time I tried it.

    I went to the assigned area, chatted with the quest NPC, then I wanted to just murder all the hostiles in the area, so I went to find a good sniping spot... and then the quest failed because I left the area. RIP that NPC, RIP Phantom Liberty.
