  • There was a pretty strong niche of Japanese devs who were decrying the genre pretty heavily. I remember hearing about that after (notorious asshole) Phil Fish made some pretty harsh comments on japanese games something like 10 years ago.

    So happy he disappeared from game dev, could not have happened to a nicer guy.

  • I have a very similar situation and i would recommend looking into whether you can connect the monitors to both the dock and the desktop video card.

    In my case it was necessary because my screen is 144hz gsync and my dock does not support that, so I needed a way to get that to work.

    In theory, my desktop has 3 screens attached. Screen A (144hz) with DP, Screen A with HDMI through the dock, and screen B (just your basic 1080p60hz) with hdmi through the dock.

    All you need to do is identify which "screen" is the affected screen(s)'s output through the dock and disable it in the OS and it will work out.

  • Some people are joyless (sometimes literal) communists, who need to spread their misery to others.

    I'm honestly mostly just sorry for them as human beings, but I do loathe their entire worldview so it's more of a "sad, but it's mostly on you, really" kind of sorry.

    The kind of sorry you feel for someone who curses being an alcoholic while handing their loyalty card to the liquor store clerk.

    In my experience, healthy communities reject these losers and stay more or less sane, provided they don't stumble into positions of authority. If they do they'll inevitably abuse them until the community is just another machine to lure in more people to turn into joyless brainrotted politics obsessed extremists.

    Not unlike viruses taking over cells, the community is dead when that happens.

    Thankfully, us people with things to live for almost always outnumber them, just force them out of your spaces when you spot them.

  • You gonna have that same energy when this conversation inevitably happens about an openly right wing fascist instance? (As opposed to left wing fascist, or Stalinist if you will)

    Oh wait those get defederated immediately and IIRC are straight up against the ToS of the platform, I wonder why.

  • Tankies are just fascists with a different coat of paint. Everything about their ideology and policy positions would be endorsed by Mussolini if you dressed it up in sorelian terminology and viceversa.

  • That's cause that's not the problem.

    A variety of opinions is great, an army of zealots coming in to shit up the place but assuredly not tolerating the same behaviour towards them? Nope.

    This is simply an attitude issue, not a political issue, and we wouldn't even be discussing this if the instance were far right instead of far left, despite stalinists and fascists being functionally identical.

  • Morally grandstand all you want, it doesn't make your specific perspective any more universal, nor does it make your position any less asinine and hypocritical.

    If you don't object to removal of LGBT content at the very least also on the basis of censorship, then the random chinese tyrant du jour has done nothing on that topic you can claim you haven't done yourself.

    I don't like loli. I find it fucking weird and creepy, but I also would like to believe that my veing creeped out by something doesn't put me in a position of authority, because I lived through the 90s and remember what that looked like, when the right had control of the western cultural hegemony and shit fucking sucked.

    Now, if you're just joining us having not had to deal with that, congratulations someone in your circles didn't raise you right. If you are my age, you're a fucking idiot if you don't see you're literally just acting the same way as the people we had to protect gaming from.

  • if you want rights and freedoms for persecuted peoples, you must accept the lolis

    M8, the reality is that to like, more than half the population of the planet (since India, China, and most of the middle east share an aversion for LGBT people, and that's easily 4 billion people) displaying LGBT content is at least as crass as loli and boob physics is to you.

    To them, us westerners are degenerates who enable mentally ill people, at best, or straight up irredeemably morally bankrupt sexual degenerates at worst.

    The only argument that safeguards representation is that authorial intent is never to be tampered with for the sake of moral orthodoxy, full stop, end of story.

    If the west, the supposed champions of liberal acceptance, start keep moralising away content we (or rather, americans) find uncomfortable there is literally no leg we can stand on when trying to tell others they must display things we champion that they find abhorrent.

    People don’t hate the removal of lgbtq+ content in markets because omg its censorship, but because

    That's because a lot of people are fucking idiots who don't understand their morals are based on hot air if they are not applied uniformly, which is unfortunately common.

    To a person who opposes the existence or acceptance of LGBT people, erasure and reduction of acceptance are the point. It's like scolding a nazi for advocating gassing jews. You may as well be complimenting the guy.

  • Right, because Amazon is doing this out of pure hearted desire to improve the product, and this license to modify or remove original authorial design (however crass you may find it) will in no way be used to negative effect.

    If you ever complained about chinese releases of movies removing LGBT content, you should rethink if the smell is neckbeards or hypocrisy.

  • I humbly submit First Monday in October.

    Genuinely good writing, good discussion about political and legal base principles, censorship, government interference in economic matters, and doesn't characterise either (american political) side as evil.

    It's also kinda funny that the movie came out just about at the same time as Ruth Bader-Ginsburg was appointed to the supreme court (without being inspired by it), considering the main characters are pretty much gender swapped Ginsburg and Scalia.

  • Debatable whether there is a disincentive, the conventional wisdom as to how it came about was that toys are marketed in a gendered way and Nintendo decided to explicitly target their products at boys only to avoid spending double on ads.

    If they were right, and marketing costs were not commensurate then, we might have passed the break even point since, but that's no guarantee.

    Plus it's objectively easier to make successful products for a narrower audience (though "men" isn't exactly narrow).

  • Looking to finish Hogwarts legacy before I leave for vacation since i hate how it plays with a controller, and I'm taking my deck on the road, so no mouse/keyboard.

    I'll probably finish breath of the wild and give a crack to emulating tears of the kingdom while away, fallback will probably be either Yakuza 3 or something like that.
