  I'm here making a point, and you're willfully ignoring that point to pretend I agree with you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you miss the part where I'm pointing out the fact that it won't happen? I'm not agreeing with you, I'm making a point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They should have. But they won't.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm against the death penalty because I don't believe it should be necessary in a just world, nor should the state ever be trusted with that kind of power.

  However, I see the guillotine as symbolizing the last resort in an unjust world. The worst monsters in society commit their injustices in broad daylight, and nothing will be done about it. We know that justice will never be served through the courts. So what then?

  Yeah, there's definite value in having these boards to ask questions. It just... needs moderators to be more proactive in dealing with bad actors.

  Don't want to manage your own forum, then disable user posts entirely.

  I don't believe that's an option. I know one indie dev that actually told me they wished they could just not have a Steam forum because they hate it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Steam study alleges that Valve's store is home to extreme right-wing "wars"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam Forums are one of the worst hellholes I've seen on the modern internet, and Valve does nothing. Any game that gets declared a target by the post-Gamergate crowd ends up having its board seiged until it's unusable for any kind of actual discussion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Street Racers "bad people"?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't like framing things in terms of doing a bad thing = being a bad person.

  But they are undoubtedly doing a bad thing, street racing endangers bystanders and can get people seriously hurt or even killed.

  Humans lived past 38 long before modern technology.

  It's 少年. How you want to transliterate that into our alphabet is open to interpretation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That's an answer for you as a consumer, but the article is from the perspective of the industry. If no one ever bought new games, game development would not be sustainable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are three tiers of activity:

  • Active enough that I can queue at any time of day and find opponents close to my skill level with good ping
  • Active enough that I can queue at peak hours and find opponents
  • Need to schedule games via Discord matchmaking

  If I really love the game enough, I'll put up with jumping through hoops to play it, but it does get frustrating when the games I like are a lot more convenient to play than the games I love.

  The trailer was made entirely within the game's very robust level editor. At the end it actually shows the level editor project.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The technical merits were why FF7 was so impactful as a cultural landmark of video game history.

  Is Trails a good game? Sure.

  Is FF7 the right comparison to invoke? Not even close.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The big thing about FF7 was that it came out during a critical transition period for the industry, and Squaresoft put the highest budget of any video game to date into making sure FF's jump to 3D graphics was as explosive as possible. The game was heavily marketed on its technical merits, boasting about how everything this game does could only be possible on PS1. It's full of setpiece moments that are literally just Squaresoft trying to show off their VFX budget (this is why summon cutscenes are so absurdly long). And it blew audiences away because no one had never seen anything like it before. FF7 was a revolution.

  Trails certainly has good reason to be beloved by its niche fanbase, but by 2004, it really wasn't doing anything super unique compared to its contemporaries from the same time period. It's a polished game, but I can't describe it as anything more than an evolution.

  What part of this is comparable to FF7?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This comparison really feels strained. FF7 was the PS1's biggest game, and by far. It was a revolution that shook the entire industry.

  Trails is a cult classic that's beloved by a niche fanbase, and I'm happy to see this kind of game get a shot at wider recognition here, but its impact was in no way even remotely comparable to FF7.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The original was part of a trilogy, this is a remake of that same first game in the trilogy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump certainly isn't helping, but it's a number of factors put together. Moore's Law is slowing, and one effect of that is that manufacturing existing tech isn't getting cheaper either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨yeah everything is probably made of like, idk, earth water, fire and air or something idrk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you do that then they definitely won't fall the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨yeah everything is probably made of like, idk, earth water, fire and air or something idrk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If two objects have the same size and shape, the force applied by air resistance will be the same. However, if two objects have different mass, that same force will result in different acceleration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨yeah everything is probably made of like, idk, earth water, fire and air or something idrk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When accounting for air resistance, heavy objects do fall faster than light ones. They couldn't test in a vacuum back then, they only knew how things work here in Earth's atmosphere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did in game cameras take so long to get good?🤔⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very few things are ever perfect on the first try. It takes a lot of experimentation to learn what works and what doesn't.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Lord Frogmire] The Switch 2 is EVIL and I'm Tired of Pretending It's Not⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It's not at all uncommon for games with an online component to have elements you need to play online to access. That's been a part of Pokemon since the series first added online play. Hell, even before that, Pokemon was conceived from the beginning to be a social game, built around the Game Boy's Link Cable if you want to see and do everything. It's never been exclusively singleplayer.

  All I'm saying is that if you count online play as though it was part of a game's cost, you should be doing the same thing for games on other platforms too. You can't selectively pretend it only counts here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Lord Frogmire] The Switch 2 is EVIL and I'm Tired of Pretending It's Not⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you only single out Nintendo for something that Sony and Microsoft charge even more for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Lord Frogmire] The Switch 2 is EVIL and I'm Tired of Pretending It's Not⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems a little disingenuous to single them out this way, especially when the competitors you're strangely silent on are more expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Lord Frogmire] The Switch 2 is EVIL and I'm Tired of Pretending It's Not⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you should be consistent and count the cost of PSN and XBL the same way.
