But pretty quickly realized they are full of shit (I fell for the we don't want regulation unless it affects other people. Well the environment affects everyone motherfuckers). Honestly my impression of them at the time that made me go away was that they just didn't want any rules on them and fuck everyone else. These days I think that still works for them (long as they don't have to pay taxes is all they really give a shit).

Comment on VR gaming is reawakening my enthusiasm for games in ~games

I still want to see VR do well... but looking at all the finance news for all the VR makers it looks like it (once again) is a failed experiment. At least for gaming. Even Occulus I think is still putting more money then making, playstation has had to stop making VR because they have too many on hand, and Steam isn't even doing much to support their VR at all (sucks to be me who is invested in PCVR. Honestly at this point I think the biggest hopes for VR is sady either facebook or Playstation and even though they are still trying it doesn't seem they have yet to see a benefit from it. I am just hoping Sony keeps trucking cause fuck FB).
I think for VR to take off it's not going to be gaming that does so. Either they find a good practical use (and there is some I know) or porn is going to have to take off on it (after all, porn is what originally got the internet to truly take off). personally though I don't care one bit about porn myself, I'm hoping it does take off for VR cause then people will start getting the sets for that, and hey, why not buy some games for it too while they already have it? Whether I care about porn or not, porn sells stuff and I bet it would really sell VR.

(Though to be fair I'm not sure what size cars go outside the limitation but I did notice that they were going to regulate it for under certain weight cars.... which is the same kind of regulations that got us with these huge cars in the first place).

Comment on I made a mistake, I started using Reddit again in ~talk
Tigress Link ParentSorry, you hit a pet peeve. Real names don't make people civil. They've even done studies to show so. What you are thinking of is having an identity you are attached to the reputation of which...- Exemplary
Sorry, you hit a pet peeve. Real names don't make people civil. They've even done studies to show so. What you are thinking of is having an identity you are attached to the reputation of which does not require you using your real name. But on the internet it is easier not to have that and feel you are anonymous (even using your real name). Smaller sites more like people would remember who is who which is what you probably more were seeing with a small site.

Point is they were acting above what just coded instructions would tell them to do with it.
And really? You are skeptical of observations of conciousness in animals (like all animals?)? Then you must either never have had any pets or just never paid any attention to them. I can't even fathom some one having a pet who actually paid attention to it not thinking they have their own little thoughts (even undecipherable to us as they are especially as they don't have words to put to those thoughts, just feelings). My cats all have different preferences (like one loves this little squirrel toy that I've never seen my other cats care about but he throws it about so that he can go chase it. I've had that toy since before this cat and he's the only one who has taken a shine to it. He and one other cat I've had were more excited if they heard you take a toy out then if you took out a treat. And I've had cats who don't find playing all that exciting). Two think that new humans are scary, one has no problem at all with new humans and thinks they are just there to give him more treats.
Also, there are videos of stuff like crows finding pieces of metal, flying up to a roof, and sledding down the roof on them (in a snowy area). As well as many studies showing htat crows can learn to remember our faces and even teach faces of humans they don't like to their young before the young even see the person.

Comment on Ugly characters in video games in ~games

I have stopped talking games in most gaming forums other than a specific few that lean very liberal because otherwise I get spammed with crap like what this guy is talking about. Even when I'm not trying to discuss the problem it comes out in small ways and is annoying to read. Misogyny is a real problem in the gamer community, a lot more than just a few. Gamergate is a big example of it. Hell, GTA V had a huge uproar cause some woman reviewer said the game was good and people should play it but dared to criticize that it didn't do women representation well. There was a huge uproar in trying to get her fired cause she said one criticism about the game (she even overall called it a good game).
Hell, this video dances around calling out what the real issue these gamers complaining are having, the women aren't their fantasy women they can fap to. He all but says it but it is like he refuses to outright say it (but if you look at all his examples of who people don't care about they are all men.. and even he starts focusing on the fact they are complaining about women but won't call that fact straight out).

Having them hidden behind something and having to know how to get it (or even have to hace a screwdriver to access it) you might as well say they don't have them when it comes to soimething like needing to get out of hte car RIGHT NOW (like fire or car is underwater).

In situations where you need to get out, you don't always have time to do that. And as some one else said, the safest thing is to link the handles to be also mechanically linked cause that way people will not even have to think about it, they just do what they are familiar and already have instinct to do.

As is we have one alternative and right now they are trying to buy out/merge with them and arguing that this is some how for us customers and it will offer cheaper and more options and they have to do this to keep up with the competition (which tehre will be none once they merge.. they're arguing amazon and walmart are their competition. Which is total bullshit, no one is replacing shopping at Kroger with either Whole Foods, online, or Walmart <- the only questionable one but I'd say really people doing their grocery shopping there weren't really shopping at Kroger anyways).
Yeah, I used to like Kroger but I'm kinda pissed at them for this. It doesn't help that near me Safeway is the obviously better store (here it is betweem Q.F.C., owned by Kroger, and Safeway).

I might admit it to myself later after the fact and honor sometimes gets me to then admit it to the person that I was wrong. So the parents I refer to up there are my stepmom and my dad but my mom and dad are both very stubborn about admitting they are wrong. But I try to at least be more like my mom who if you back off will think about it and admit she is wrong if she decides she is. My dad though will come up with reasons why he was right. My stepmom isn't so bad about being stubborn but she's super brainwashed by Fox News and also knows I myself have a habit of not liking to admit I'm wrong so she uses that against me when we argue too saying I'm just like her but am the one believing the liars. I try to argue with her that at least I can admit I have bias but she doesn't get that not being able to even see your bias makes you much more susceptible to lies.

And when they look at me and see the same so they refuse to listen to me... how do you reach out to some one that willfully blind? My stepmom will hide behind "you can't trust anyone" while completely trusting Trump, Tucker Carlson, and Fox News (unless they say something she doesn't agree with like when I pointed out even Fox News said Trump said something that even she couldn't deny made trump look bad... then all media is bad).

Comment on Horror fishing game Dredge being adapted for live-action movie in ~movies

Overall I'm not upset I bought the game. But I think it could do better if nightime was a true threat and you really had to try to build up to be able to do nighttime fishing. As is with the engines I have I can usually outrun any threats and the insane meter just makes things interesting when I get really insane.
I guess if I were going to do changes I'd make fishing feel more like a real fishing game and not just an easy mini game and I'd make nighttime at least a little more threatening (maybe make it so that you have to be near end game before you can really outrun the threats but give other ways you can try to at least catch some fish before you have to leave like maybe more reliance on having to stealth and be aware of having to sneak away before you are seen).

I love the creepy story but I actually find it a pretty chill game overall. And then cause I was loving it I started looking up about stuff (if I really love a game I'll start reading about it when I can't play it) and that introduced me to Dave the Diver.
Heh, on the other hand a while back I bought subnautica and while I loved the idea, it was a little too much for me (to be fair I think I ended up drifting off cause I couldn't figure out how to get to the next goal and I was being stubbern about refusing to look it up and eventually I got bored before I figured it out). Subnautica I think is about the level of creepyness I can handle before getting too creepy.

I love fishing games and htis looks like it has a creepy atmosphere which I kinda like without being too scary for me to play (I can't play most horror games, too scary for me. I can watch some one else play them though and I love watching some one else play and finding out the mystery but I can't do it myself).

Comment on PVP in MMORPGs is dead (and here's why) in ~games
I would have been happy with ship travel if you could fly to the edge of the "cell" and then load into the next "cell" so that you could somewhat simulate flying between planets. Add in random encounters that can happen while you are doing that and it would have been great. I could have suspended my disbelief enough in that to simulate being able to fly around in my ship. Add in not forcing me to fast travel out of my ship if I've already been to a location (why didn't they make that an option you could turn off?) which at least there are mods to fix that.
Instead, the ship is a glorified fast travel point (kinda like how Outer Worlds did it but Outer Worlds was more honest about it not letting you actually fly it) and the only random encounters happen when you fast travel to a new cell. There is no point in flying anywhere or even just pretending to.
I mean I'm excited for being able to customize the interior of my ship but then what's the point when the ship is just a fast travel hub?
I don't think it's unfixable for what I'd like to see (as a good compromise between trying to make flying work in their engine as it can't handle all of space at once but letting me have more immersion in pretending I'm a space traveller). Add in random encounters in space that don't just happen when you fast travel in and add in fast travel happens if you reach the edge of the cell (and appoint pointers at the edges of what cell you fast travel to). Course I'm not a programmer but within what they've made I wouldn't think it would be too hard to just set at set parts of the boundary where to fast travel to if some one reaches it. The RNG encounter part I'm not as sure if it is as easy (I know in their regular games even random encounters still happen at set parts of the map but could they just map set parts in each cell in space for a random encounter to happen? Spread them out liberally so you have a good chance of running into one?).
