It was never about fun. It’s about experiencing the game.
When I read a book, the goal is to have whatever experience the book is going to give me, and leave my own life behind for a while.
Getting lost in a AAA fantasy world with super-high-fidelity graphics is an amazing experience.
How do you know my Lemmy password?
Why do handsome men always pose with their art? The art should be the focus. We get it, you’re beautiful, but let the art stand for itself. This is just upvote fishing. /s
Chicken sashimi is a thing in Japan. It’s slightly cooked on the outside.
Kill the nickel and dime while we’re at it.
Yet I played it so much I can hear it in my head right now.
In today’s dollars, my local video game store in 1991 was selling Wizardry for the NES for $141.
Fuck, the average AAA Atari 2600 game was $99 in today’s dollars. Games like Pitfall and Pac-Man.
Just some perspective. I’m going to go yell at a cloud or something, now.
There’s literally no difference. Each Discord server is like a tiny chunk of Reddit. If anyone expected any privacy on these servers, they’re nuts.
I definitely did! I guess maybe you can see why I was so exasperated. 😳

I’m pointing out that questions on SO too often get closed as duplicates of adjacent (but distinctly different) questions, and I did so in the most confusing, recursive way possible.
That’s why I only post questions for bleeding-edge languages and code libraries. I have to answer them myself.
lemmy is just gobbling it up every day. It’s so tiring.
Are you fucking serious? All I ever see on Lemmy is prople saying “AI slop” over and over and over and over again… in like every comment section of every post. It could be a picture that was actually hand-drawn, or a photograph that was definitely not AI, or articles written by someone “sounding like AI”. The AI hate on Lemmy is WAY overpowering any support.
inappropriate sexual absences
I had to look this up.
Inappropriate Sexual Absences: A term referring to the failure of an individual to be present in a context where their participation in romantic or intimate interactions is reasonably expected, resulting in potential emotional distress or misunderstanding among involved parties. Such absences may arise from a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, willful neglect, avoidance of relational obligations, or the pursuit of extraneous activities that detract from the fulfillment of intimate commitments. This term may encompass both the intentional and unintentional nature of the absence, and its implications may vary based on the established expectations of the relationship in question.
Witcher 1 was weird, but I finished it just a few years ago. The combat is half automatic. Like, if you get a dodge skill it just means that when an enemy attacks, “Dodge” might appear above your head more often as enemies attack you. You dont actually dodge anything.
Geralt just swings his sword like crazy (automatically) and numbers appear above the enemies to indicate damage. It’s a constant stream of numbers. And you press buttons once in a while to cast spells, change combat style, or do special moves. At least I think you manually trigger special moves. It’s been a while.
If you watch this video on YouTube, you’ll see what I mean. None of the sword slashes involve pressing a button. They just happen.
I thought it was worth playing. Janky, yes, but worth playing. I played 1 and 2 before playing 3.
1/3 equals 1/4 because in both cases you have 1.

Obviously this wasn’t the same thing I was talking about but I refuse to search further.
That’s exactly the thing you were talking about.
MK with its new open world
Now I want open world Mortal Kombat.
Just get a proper emulation handheld. It won’t have Joycon’s that will drift in 12 months. The Switch doesn’t do anything special versus an emulation handheld. There are a million to choose from at every price point.
I feel like that’s all you need. You don’t have their apps installed, so the problem is already solved. If you use uBlock Origin to block their trackers, the problem is solved. So you’ve solved it twice.
