The context will be more telling of if it’s actually rude or not. There’s a lot of chat software nowadays where you can “react” to a message with a thumbs up and people use it to acknowledge what was said.

Moving to my own house. Still need to get some work done over there but we should be there by the end of this month.

If the communists start getting a lot more votes, then maybe you could make a parallel. Otherwise it’s a very different situation.

This isn’t really how this format works but ok

Matter is made of atoms. Things are only truly rigid in the small scales we deal with usually.

My mother-in-law was super dependent on my wife for everything related to technology. Banking apps, netflix, sending and receiving money, anything related to the government she had her do it. Then we moved a few states away. We came for a visit a few months ago and guess what? She manages to do it all by herself now. Even calling an uber or finding the cat videos she likes she was able to do herself now.

The point being: she doesn’t want to and won’t learn because she has someone to do it for her. Since you can’t make her do it, then you just have to accept it unfortunately.

The very generic message makes me inclined to think so too

Let’s be honest here, they only care because when someone inevitably fucks up, people will think the fault is with windows.

It’s true that a big slice of gamers play games with anti-cheat solutions that don’t work on linux. That said most of those aren’t even on steam, which is the biggest pc game marketplace, so I’m not sure it’s that big of a dealbreaker for that many people.

The point is just that how can a developer create an experience where you have the satisfaction of succeeding against overwhelming odds when you offer the easy mode where you win by pressing one button? I understand that people play games for a myriad of reasons, but one of those IS to put in effort.

Also it was just a mistake, I don’t really care to upvote or downvote people unless it’s something egregious or great. You really shouldn’t care about it, especially since lemmy doesn’t even keep track of it.

I’m sorry to hear that, and I certainly dread the day I won’t be able to engage with the hobby the same way. But there are a million games that don’t require fast reaction times and precise lightning fast inputs.

For it to work well the developer has to change the game’s design to allow for the easier mode to work. If they don’t, it wouldn’t offer a good experience for neither the easy mode nor hard mode players.

That’s pretty much like saying to a person to watch a let’s play of the game rather than play, which is fine but not really the point.

Good example. I also feel like vegetarianism is probably correct, but I still haven’t gone that way.

I’m glad you are like that, but dometimes people want to be convinced of the opposite side but haven’t been able to, yet.

From a purely financial view, they don’t. There’s a reason why games have become as handholdy as possible. And one of the reasons why the Souls series stood out was because it went in a different direction.

I’m not sure how the impending climatic doomsday is going to make human rights unimportant?

Maybe? I feel like the developers have the prerogative to decide to include it or not, but with the way the discourse has gone it certainly feels like I’m in the wrong here.

I thought about it a bit when making this post and I felt like not giving an example would make people come with crazy political opinions which would probably be a bad time. Maybe it still wasn’t the best approach, admittedly.

I don’t particularly find the acessibility argument that compelling. Sure, we must make experiences as acessible as possible, but at a certain point the experience gets degraded by it. You can’t make a blind person see a painting, and if you did, it wouldn’t be a painting.
