  • There will be an epidemic of falls through windows. It will affect oligarchs and will spare the population. There is a cure: leaving the country after having relinquished all your money to the government.

    Oligarchs problem solved.

  • I think realistic videogames have a niche called "Simulators". And while they stay there, I'm absolutely fine with it.

    The problem, I believe, is that people often confuse realism with level of detail. And the main issue with this is that the line separating both is extremely thin sometimes. Additionally, a degree of realism is welcome in any game, as long as the game keeps being a game and not a simulator (e.g. on a car racing game, I want the cars to look like cars and to drive like cars, even if I want it to stay arcade-y enough)

    Would you say Breath of the Wild is a realistic game? I think it isn't, but the level of detail put in their physics engine is so detailed that it's almost real, but at the same time feels like a videogame and not like a simulator.

    In all the games you mentioned, there is a degree of realism (for example, in metal gear, it's realistic that enemies can't see you behind a wall or that they get alerted if they see a corpse), just not enough to make them look like a simulator instead of a game, this is what I mean with level of detail.

  • I am like you. The way I listen to music is not the conventional way in which someone has a playlist and goes with it for a while, then add new music, etc... I am autistic too, and my music routine generally implies having a song or two on repeat for the day because they are a form of stimming for me. So I don't use streaming services if not for trying new music before seeing if I want that song.

    My rule is that if I find a song I can be comfortable with to listen to it for a while hour on repeat and I still like it, I'll buy it. If that happens, that song is probably going to be my next stimming song for days or even weeks, meaning I'll listen to it hundreds or thousands of times. If that's the case, I'll buy it.

    On some rare instances, I find an artist that I really like because they have more than one song that helps me and then I'll buy their album just to show support to what they are doing.

    I also can't go to shows because they are a nightmare to my brain and its lack of sensory overload control.

  • No, they are kid murderers. They let their child die refusing to go to a doctor and fucking letting her lay in a pallet instead of a bed.

    And let's not forget that they refused to give details as to what caused her injuries. These are evil people and they deserve life in prison so they can never again hurt someone.

  • It's actually pretty simple: they have created the perfect conditions.

    First, theirs is not a customer but a fanbase. People want to be part of the apple universe because they are fans of it.

    Second, they have made it extremely difficult to get out once you enter their ecosystem.

    So basically you have a good bunch of people who are fans of their products (so not buying because of functionality but because of fidelity), and another good bunch that are captives of a previous decision and can't get out easily.

    There are other minor groups in their customer base, but they aren't that relevant to make a dent in their sales if Apple loses them.

  • Ahhh Qatar... Such a nice place to live... FIFA said that they did a lot for human rights so they could hold a World Cup event....

    I guess having female toilets in the stadiums was more than enough to consider "a lot".

    Seriously people, don't go there.

  • You already admitted to another user that a victim can be partially to blame when something happens to them under certain circumstances.

    You just don't want to accept that for the man in the article because he's "from your team".

    You lost. A while ago. And you just keep your insulating crusade because that's all that remains to you.

  • You are (by your own admission) using "cishet" as a derogatory slur. That's exactly insulting someone for something they don't have a choice on.

    And after that, you're just being offensive because someone on the internet didn't agree with you. Calm down a bit, breathe and maybe log off for a moment, you'll feel better after that.

  • Oh this is awesome! So now my comments are somehow offensive and get removed by a mod but a person that's calling other people names is apparently fine. And just when I thought Lemmy was different from Reddit... Can a mod please point out what part of my comments was somehow deserving of the removal?
