I mean, the picture does (seem to) show a heterosexual relationship. Unless you think only gay/bi dudes do butt stuff then idk what you’re reading into

Iirc old age is the best it can be

That’s why you play the puppeteer

You really pulled the extendo grip out, huh?

Better hardware absolutely cuts loading times.

There is a button to change the color scheme to B&W

Getting worse every year too

You should get your lemmy checked for dementia

Snafus

I don’t disagree but this meme is ass lmao

Until a court rules in favour of this no one will budge as this is just an opinion. I do hope it comes to that as since Spain ruled that charging for not planting cookies was a okay browsing news sites has been miserable.

There are many kinds of evil, and also the morally gray. Evil doesn’t have to be evil just for the sake of it.

At the end of the day, these kinds of videogames tell stories, and a story full with nonsensical evil will only appeal to those freaks you talked about. In the other hand, if it is handled correctly, the story will appeal to a much broader audience. As an example, at the end of The Last Of Us (the show, idk about the game), the main character refuses to save the world because it would mean the death of the only family he had left, and massacres a lot of people in a mix of survival instinct and paternalistic rage. It is horrible from a moral perspective yet it is a good, engaging story.

I feel like, in the same sense, a character with impenetrable morality and no conflict would not be very entertaining to read/watch/play.

As for the workload, I’d rather they didn’t give me the option to be evil if the story is going to be bad. The devs themselves choose to make different paths, so at least have them be equally fun. (I’m not getting into pressures from above for “branching narratives” or any other marketable terms. Replace devs with “studios” if you wish.)

How will small artists get to make themselves known, though? Not everyone has the option to play live.

As a spaniard, that jamón is offending me.

¿Por qué no los dos?

What if doing a little harm today leads to more good tomorrow (so, a net positive amount of good)? And in a year? And in two centuries?

I think I have an idea. When you post/comment, there should be a checkmark for “are you being serious?”. The default value should be chosen on a sub-per-sub basis, so all comments non-serious by default on, say, c/memes, and serious on c/news, for example. Then that information should be hidden unless you downvote or reply to a comment/post of the opposite seriousness to the default of the sub you’re in (I guess there could also be an option to see the warning always or on demand).

I think I should post this properly somewhere but idk where…

Couldn’t have said it better myself

I was referring to the “we should go extinct” part, I agree that what we’re doing to nature is horrible but I don’t think collectively dying is the answer. Honestly it would speak wonders for human exceptionalism if we actually managed to get this under control.
