You can put a ton of hours into a game and not like it. This isn’t a new concept.
Ask any LoL or Destiny 2 player.
But in all seriousness, sometimes a game is just too massive to form an opinion on in any reasonable amount of time.

I agree they should be jailed and dog owners of many breeds should be licensed.
At least we can agree on that

and yoy can't just breed violence into a human like that
Lol is that a fact? So humans just so happen to be the only species that selective breeding doesn’t affect? I think I’m going to need a source for that.
Either way, you responding to four of my comments within less than 5 minutes is a little weird.

To save dogs, you would advocate killing the children of slaves? The lengths you'll go...
…wtf are you talking about? I’m saying that if we follow your logic then that’d be what we’d have to do. I literally called it insane. Maybe reflect on it.
Not this one
That’s literally what this entire debate is about, whether selective breeding can actually affect a living thing psychologically enough to turn them into a killing machine. There is no argument more relevant here than nature vs nurture. Are you trolling?
Shrugging and going "ah well" doesn't fix the problem
You’re right, we need a solution. Maybe for more powerful dogs people would need to get a license. But if I had to guess lots of people aren’t immediately looking for solutions because they’re so busy trying to stop an entire breed of dog from being wrongfully put down.
Do owners currently get jailed for their dogs actions? If not, they should. That may help deter people from getting “attack dogs”, at least a little.

Claiming ignorance?? Are you saying that you, despite hundreds of years of debate, have solved the problem of nature vs nurture? Wtf?
These dogs are bred to be strong. To kill. They don't belong in homes and society near children
And as I said in another comment, so were some slaves. Should their descendants not be allowed in homes and society near children? That’d be insane. That’s not how anything works. Breeding can affect your physical attributes, but we have no idea how much it affects individuals psychologically.
People buy these dogs to be intimidating. Compensating for something, I expect
Exactly, so those people raise them to be viscous. So they end up being viscous. If they were raised in a loving household this wouldn’t be the case, but because of their reputation they’re far more likely to end up in abusive households, or raised to be attack dogs. It’s a viscous cycle.

because you care about violent dogs designed to kill
As I pointed out in another comment, we don’t know that this is how this works. Nature vs nurture isn’t some no brainer just because it’s about something you don’t like.
But regardless, no thank you. I don’t want any animal to be artificially driven to extinction because people are horrible and thus raise them horribly.

One of them is a living thing…
Some people are responsible with guns, but I’m still comfortable with getting rid of all of them because it’s not like the guns would be hurt with that decision. They’re inanimate objects.
I’m less comfortable with putting down an entire breed of animal because some people are irresponsible assholes, and either abuse their pets or raise them to be attack dogs.

Are we comparing dogs to guns now? I think I need to take a break from the internet

Humans also do shit without being taught, wtf are you talking about? You realize humans are also animals…right?
Again, nature vs nurture is a topic that has been debated for hundreds of years. So I’m sorry, but this isn’t going to be decided in a Lemmy thread by pm_me_your_vagina_thanks@kbin.social

Nature vs nurture my friend - we have no idea how much of that breeding actually affects their psychology. This has been debated for god only knows how long.
Some slaves were also bred for violence. So, by your own logic, we should ban all of their ancestors as well right?

It’s the equivalent of you telling me that a specific person you know personally would never kill anyone.
Telling me that your mom, for example, would never hurt anyone, isn’t a crazy meaningless statement to make. You probably know your mom pretty well.
If the other commenter said “no dog would ever hurt anyone” then yeah, you’d be right. But that’s not what they said.
Permanently Deleted
And I’m sure those dogs were raised in a loving household, and not at all raised as attack dogs or abused at all /s
Permanently Deleted
Their dog hasn’t killed anyone, what’re you talking about?
That’s the equivalent of me blaming you for every murder ever committed by another human being.
Oh no kidding that’s awesome! I knew SFSE was in the works but hadn’t heard anything about a SkyUI equivalent
Fr, crazy that people still drink coffee/soda, and that we literally have “drug stores”. What a world we live in…
/s
Honestly tho I’d kill for better public transportation across the country
This is pretty long response lol so I'll tackle each point individually.
Plenty of niche games have “overwhelmingly positive” reviews on...
Your whole argument on niche games getting good reviews, I actually fully agree with. The problem is that those reviews are literally the only metric we have to discern whether or not the people that played it enjoyed it - anything else is pure speculation. Including your point about people not liking it if they felt it didn't feel enough like Skyrim, or people saying they like it just to appease others. It's frankly bizarre that you'd make an argument for Steam Reviews not 100% showing the accuracy of people's opinions, while simultaneously making statements like those with zero anything to back them up.
At the very least the reviews tell us that people who played it say they liked it. That's just a fact. And considering that that's all we have, I think it's fair to use it. Anything else, again, is just pure speculation.
I know it can be hard to keep reading after you see something that MAKES YOU SO ANGRY but you should try.
This was weird lol.
“7x the amount of mods that Morrowind has”. First, that ignores how many quests and mods were lost to time.
No, it doesn't. Skyrim has over 70k mods while Morrowind has roughly 11k. Even if there were over one hundred missing quest mods for Morrowind, which I doubt, it still wouldn't affect that massive difference.
But also? of course it has more mods. The same way that basically every new game in a franchise SHOULD sell more than the previous one did. The audience for gaming has exploded over the decades.
This... just isn't how modding works. Most new games releasing will have some reshades and a trainer, max. Once in a great while you'll get some nudity. The size of the audience doesn't change that - most games releasing simply don't garner much mod support.
By your logic a game like Call of Duty should have a massive modding scene, as the new entry will be newer and have a massive audience, an audience multiple times bigger than any Bethesda game. But no, that's just not how that works. Hell, even a game like The Witcher 3 only has half the number of mods that Morrowind does.
Also I'm confused as to the point of those links. Are you arguing that gaming has... gotten more popular over the years? Yeah no shit. As I said earlier, numbers going up doesn't magically guarantee a thriving modding scene.
So if we assume roughly the same market share were playing TES games in both eras (and it is pretty safe to say that Skyrim is a MUCH more mainstream game than Morrowind was…), we would expect at least a 3.5x increase in the amount of mods.
As I went over before, no. Lol absolutely not. I don't believe that you actually think this could possibly be true. Lets apply your logic to other mainstream games releasing nowadays and see if that logic holds water (hint, it doesn't).
This comment was truly a trip, thank you.
Their only great game since Morrowind wasn’t even made by them.
