  • SteelBeard SteelBeard 1 year ago 100%

    There were a lot of games released in the 90s. It would take 2-3 per genre to start getting close.

    Picking just one single game... I guess I'll go with Fallout 2

    I was all ready to call bullshit. Don't need to slow the game down even further!

    But this is a pretty reasonable solution that may actually speed up play and take some referee variance out of high pressure situations.

    I think I understand the point you're making. My immediate reaction is.. get a haircut? I suppose it's not that easy for a lot of people though, and I get wanting a place you don't have to deal with the stress.

    Why try to create a closed off environment on an open forum though? If that's the goal, why not build the community on a closed forum? There are also tools at an individual level like down voting, blocking users, and blocking communities.

    Cutting off a huge segment of the fediverse seems like a bad move this early in it's growth.

    Just to be clear on my perspective. Anyone going to any community just to fuck with them is a low being who should evaluate their life and choices. I'm concerned about the health of the fediverse, I don't support the trolls.

    I liked the breakdown and that video specifically because he goes over what he saw of the HUD. Hard to say on turning speed with the amount of video we have for now, but I think it might be tied to legs

    Marine boot camp, infantry school, and Ramadi all felt pretty unsafe. My latchkey childhood roaming the streets of Las Vegas felt pretty unsafe.

    Much more interested in the free exchange of ideas, that's why im hanging out in an open forum discussing random shit with strangers to get perspective different than my own.

    What makes me feel unsafe is the thought that not walking on eggshells softly enough might hurt some petty tyrants feelings and they'll use their small sliver of influence to cut me off. We should be able to talk freely with each other.

    For example, I'm really enjoying this discussion right now.

    I was venting. I'm not a fan of the idea of safe spaces, censoring, or mods in general. That's what the up and down vote buttons are for. I like the wild and free frontier internet, and Lemmy was feeling like that.

    I think what they did probably hurt the migration and adoption of the platform, hopefully not too much.

    Of course its their decision to make, I'm not going to change it, but I don't respect them for it. And that's OK, I don't have to.

    That's a real removed move, basically shadowbanning huge portions of the reddit migration. Unsubscribed from everything they host and lost a ton of content. Hopefully we can grow our own technology, gaming and whatever other large discussion hubs.

    This isn't much better than what reddit is doing, fucking safe spaces. I miss the hell out of the internet at the turn of the millennium. When the users started touching things it all went to shit.
