  • As a liberal, and an Italian: yes, cause every coffee prep method that isn't espresso fucking sucks.

    And I guess replicators can make espresso too.

    And mokas burn more than they cook.

  • However much is intentionally inflammatory controlled opposition, it will never catch up to the work of people like Dworkin, Solanas, or more recently Julie Bindel.

    There are plenty of established, respected feminists, who you could never in a million years claim are a psyop, whose work is taught in academia on a regular basis and whose contents would immediately get me banned off of most social media platforms if I were to swap the genders they're talking about and post an excerpt.

    And this is just the theory aspect.

    Let's not forget the revolutionary additions to the legislative side of things like the primary caregiver standard, or the Duluth model for domestic violence.

    There is a reason "feminism" is not called "egalitarianism".

    Yes more modern waves have put some token effort into at least presenting a path for men to improve their lot in society, but let's be real, conservatives do that for women too, it's hardly in good faith and it's fundamentally useless because the focus of the ideology isn't to improve the lot of everyone.

    It can't be, because it starts from the presupposition that men's lot is the best lot, and women's needs to catch up to men's.

    Even when it nominally factors in facts like men being expected to put themselves in harm's way and die for society it also handily blames men for making the choices that, for instance, lead to war, and it implies that therefore it's not as important because the fact that the person sitting at a desk sending men to get shot on the front lines also happens to have a penis somehow makes it less problematic.

    So yeah, there's plenty to criticise.

    Feminism has some very valid complaints, hell, a lot even, but there's also a shitton of reasons why your average man can look at your typical feminist and ask himself "why the fuck would I ever side with you?"

  • Oh for sure, but the reason i invoked those two specifically is that they're very similar outside of their approach to aesthetics, and that they came out at a time when looking for fidelity over having a real art style was becoming a possibility.

  • For one, the last 10 years didn't really do much in terms of graphical improvements, most games just have denser environments and more detail on the parts that need animating, like faces.

    For 2, what you're looking at is not really a comparison of graphics, it's a game where a lot of care and dedication went into the art direction and aesthetics, versus one that looks like generic schlock.

    A game with a great artstyle that works with what was available at the time instead of being limited by the technology level will age a million times slower.

    Compare and contrast the old killzones on PS2 vs games like XIII.

  • No, you can deal with that at any time but it's not in the settings, you need to look up where that setting is stored, it's not even mentioned at install time, as far as I remember.

    I did it months ago so i don't remember where that is off the top of my head or I'd tell you directly.
