Yeah, and anyone with an ounce of common sense will point at that and be like "See? This is what happens." But an outrageous chunk of gamers seem incapable of applying the same logic to game development 🤷
Edit: btw this is why knowing how to give good feedback is a really good skill to learn
Bad feedback: "You should remove this button, it sucks and I don't want it"
Good feedback: "It disrupts my experience when I go to press button A but accidentally press button B because it's so close."
If people knew what devs said (justifiably) about players when nobody is looking, the internet would implode.
Like, I'm not trying to be an asshole, but holy fuck gamers are the worst about actually knowing how games are made or the consequences of various decisions they want made.
I don't know why 80% of gamers think playing games means they know how to make games, but it infuriates many of us to no end. We get that it's just misguided desire to see the games improve but jfc it makes life incredibly difficult (especially for the CMs)
EDIT: Imagine someone told an architect "You should just remove that load bearing wall. This other building doesn't have one in that position and it's great. Why is it so hard for you?"
I started ignoring them when they willfully disregarded my explanation in order to reiterate the same misunderstanding they'd already made, simply pointing at text and saying, effectively, "it means what I say it means". They have their view and nothing you or I can say will ever change it. Best to just ignore that type
Please go reread the post you replied to. Nobody, myself included, "decided it had to be about the US". They asked a question. They wanted to know if it could be malicious, and the thing that made them think about it was the fact it's Super Tuesday.
The only thing I've ever been arguing is that it is reasonable to think about whether BGP could be abused for malicious intent when you realize it's Super Tuesday. That's it. It's a reasonable connection to make that would precipitate the question. They didn't even ask "is this because it's Super Tuesday?"
But go off, chief. Can't pass up a perfectly good opportunity to let your angst out
This is an example of how you can make factually true statements that are contextually irrelevant.
When a major outage occurs on the day in US politics when 15 states all vote for their party nominees, it's not unreasonable to question whether there was malicious intent.
You're like a "not all men" or "all lives matter" person barging into a conversation, hijacking a perfectly reasonable discussion to push your agenda. Just stop.
Ahhh yes, let me just get all of my brothers' business' account's followers to switch to telegram. I'm sure they'll all be willing....
"Just use something else, duh!" is ignorant. Not everyone uses social media to just post memes and argue with strangers. Some people use it for making money, or for access to support resources, or for a specific community that is important to their well-being.
But Linux IS the superior desktop OS if you just give it a try! That's not a conspiracy or misinformation, just the truth!!! But they don't want you to know that (how do I type a really, really big "/s" on Lemmy?)
Sometimes redundancy doesn't help when it comes to network traffic routing. That system is based heavily on trust and an incorrect route being published can cause recursive loops and such that get propagated very quickly to everyone.
There was a case like this a few years back where a bad route got published by a small ISP, claiming they could handle traffic to a certain set of destinations, but then immediately trying to send that traffic back out again (because they couldn't actually route to that destination), which bounced right back to them because of the bad route. It was propagated based on implicit trust and took down huge chunks of the Internet for a while
Gonna disagree with you about the quality of Mando; it's just an incredibly different type of show. I feel the exact opposite of you: I thought the first season was meh until the end, and the show has continued to get better from there (with some individual episodes that were crap).
For the record, Andor is by far my favorite piece of contemporary Star Wars media. It's not even close.
What I'm saying is, not every show or movie has to be well received by every fan.
Hell, I even enjoyed Obi-Wan for what it was. A sad waste of potential? Totally. But some of the things it set out to do were done well (specifically, showing Obi-Wan's state of mind during that time period)
I don't expect Mando to press the same emotional buttons as Andor, and I don't expect Andor to make me go "whoaaaaa awesome lightsaber duel!" the way Ahsoka did. Let them be different. We don't have to tear down anything that doesn't fit our image of the perfect star wars show
It's important to know the difference between
