I think we landed in a situation where some people don't understand the different between graphical style and graphical quality. You can have high quality graphics that are still very simplistic. The important part is that they serve their purpose for the title you're making. Obviously some games benefit from more realistic graphics, like TLoU Part 2 depicted in the thumbnail & briefly mentioned. The graphics help convey a lot of what the game tries to tell you. You can see the brutality of the world they are forced to live in through the realistic depiction of gore. But you can also see the raw emotion, the trauma on the character's faces, which tells you how the reality of this world truly looks like. But there's plenty of games with VERY simplistic graphic styles that are still high quality. CrossCode was one of the surprise hits for me a couple years ago and became one of my favorite RPGs, probably only topped by the old SNES title Terranigma. They both have simple yet beautiful graphics that serve them just as well as the realistic graphics of TLoU. Especially the suits / publishers will make this mistake since they are very detached from the actual gaming community and just look at numbers instead, getting trapped in various fallacies and then wonder why things don't go as well as they calculated.
It's not that I don't like realistic graphics. But I'm not gonna pay 100 bucks per game + micro transactions and / or live service shenanigans to get it. Nowadays it's not even that hard to have good looking games, thanks to all the work that went into modern engines. Obviously cutting edge graphics still need talented artists who create all the textures and high poly models but at some point the graphical fidelity gained becomes minuscule, compared to the effort put into it (and the performance it eats, since this bleeds into the absurd GPU topic too).
There's also plenty of creative stylization options that can be explored that aren't your typical WoW cartoon look that everyone goes for nowadays. Hell, I still love pixel art games too and they're often considered to be on the bottom end of the graphical quality (which I'd heavily disagree with, but that's also another topic).
What gamers want are good games that don't feel like they get constantly milked or prioritize graphics over gameplay or story.
4chan and reddit would not ban the site on baseless allegations
Reddit is well known for unreasonable bans of users & communities. Their CEO itself was once moderator of /r/jailbait. Reddit as well as 4chan are generally known for such content too.
It's explicitly listed in the Office of Justice's docs about sites known to be used to distribute csam.
Social networking sites, such as Facebook [287, 307], Twitter [308, 309, 310],
Facebook’s Instagram, Google’s YouTube, Reddit, and lesser known social sites
(e.g., Motherless.com) that are too numerous to list.
I assume this means you also ban Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit links? Or are only "smaller sites" ban worthy?
I've been on that site before. They're certainly more lax with their content & titles but I have never seen any obvious CSAM / minors there. At best you'd see teens where it would be hard to tell if they're above or below 18 years old. The only time I stumbled on obvious CSAM material is all the way back in the early days of the www & filesharing where assholes would intentionally rename those videos to something like popular movie titles or other files & change the file ending. Luckily it wasn't that monitored back then so my mom didn't got any unwanted visits or letters but this was truly a minefield back then.
This was 10 or so years ago but I had it for about 3 weeks in my left ear IIRC. When it started I thought it is just some temporary ear ringing and would go away after a few seconds. It didn't.
During the day it wasn't so bad, when you have some other noise coming through the headphones it is distracting enough that you kinda forget about it, but when it is time for bed it turns to absolute hell. I already have various sleep issues and having a constant loud tone blasting inside of your ear is absolutely maddening when you try to fall asleep. At some point I was just sobbing until I would fall asleep from exhaustion. Luckily I think after a week or so it started to slowly and gradually fade out. I did not notice it until a few days later when the change became more obvious though. By week 3 I did not hear it anymore.
Not sure what the cause was, but I'd be very glad if it never happens again. If it was permanent I'd honestly just kill myself.
lol
For a moment I was disappointed that you helped him, since I wanted him to dig for it himself and waste even more of his time on it (and yes, it exists).
What's with Ibrahim Nasrallah? He's not dead. Or did you meant to simp for Hassan Nasrallah? Wouldn't surprise me to be honest. lol
George Floyd caused plenty of articles about police brutality in the US, so I'm really not sure what the fuck you are talking about.
Hitler, famous for his criticism of the private health insurance industry.
No, he's famous for dehumanizing others in order to make it okay to murder them. Since you're just arguing in bad faith at this point I think we're done. Have fun radicalizing & instigating, hopefully you'll put your money where your mouth is and take action yourself so that it will be over sooner rather than later.
Lmao, yes, nothing fundamentally would change compared to Biden, not Trump.
But thanks for once again proving how full of shit you "both sides" people are. If you think Biden / Harris & Trump are the same, then you're in for a wild ride. But I guess that's what happens when you don't educate yourself about the things this administration has done.
You got what you voted for. lol
Did you think our "privilege" happened to just because? You can't expect things to change if you let people like Trump turn your country to shits. But this already starts even at a local level. There, all the way to the top, you guys vote for the wrong people - repeatedly. It's clear that you want it this way.
In every major newspaper and corporately financed podcast on the content. We are bombarded by Atlantic headlines and CBS News Updates with wailing anchors and op-ed writers denouncing Luigi from the top of their lungs.
That's just the establishment telling you that murder is bad, which is not even wrong and a direct response to the people who glorify the murder. Maybe try to listen.
Of course not. Poor people and rich people are entirely different species of people.
And just like the other guy going the Hitler route of dehumanizing people. Please hear yourself talk.
If that's the only people using the addon, then they should adjust their extrapolation formula to account for the bias of their user base. Because like this it will only feed people's confirmation bias through literal disinformation, making content look heavily disliked even when it isn't.
