  Yeah the exceptions are rare, and then many like HuniePop 1 and 2 or Subverse lean intentionally into overdone slapstick.

  (That being said HuniePop I can't recommend enough, easily the best match-3 out there completely ignoring the porn parts)

  And then you usually get "But the sex isn't realistic!!!"... yeah? Neither is the violence, unless you are frequently the Doomslayer or something?!

  Like, how is that even an argument. How can violence in games be preferrable to sex?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mississippi Age Verification Law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course, but whether you're decentralized or not has nothing to do with whether you as someone running a service has to decide for themselves whether to block Mississippi users or risk legal consequences?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mississippi Age Verification Law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Each instance still has an owner. Just like the Bluesky CEO, they need to decide whether the (legal) risks are worth it to them and whether they can cover the (legal) costs if needed.

  For any individual instance owner, this changes nothing.

  How come plenty federated stuff is also blocking people then? Apparently that alone does not help?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mississippi Age Verification Law⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As evident by Lemmy instances not doing the same thing. /s

  There's a difference between being decentralized and doing something illegal, you know?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mississippi Age Verification Law⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Entirely understandable. Like you say, it's not your fight. This is more so if one creates something and isn't even from the US, if the wankers in a specific US state elect shitty government, that's not on you in a wholly different country to go up against.

  It uses an anti-cheat that is loaded while the game is not? What is this and why is anybody playing it at all? O.o

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Begun the kernel wars have⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahahahaha. 😂 That is just brilliant. The kernel anti-cheat deadlock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can an American explain to me what's with the grooves on PS1 NTSC cases?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That's fascinating. Why where those like it? To not slide around so easily?

  Very limited use case of course (long-tube bowden style feed mechanisms aren't that common any more) but damn is it cool for that case!

  I request all districts are now Penrose tiled using the Einstein hat!
