In the civilised world (Aka everywhere but the US), it is!

Half the smaller villages in southern Germany are named “Ried” which comes from reed and roughly means “swampy place”. The other half uses some variation of the suffix “-höfen” which just means “this place consists of farms” 😂

Cudos, this actually made me go: Hm, that’s kind of interesting.

Counterpoint: I love rugged nobody adventurer types. I love the point in the campaign when you still have to use your brain to solve problems and when wild animals still pose a significant threat. This may be one of the reasons I stopped playing DnD altogether.

It’s not fun at low levels because your characters have absolutely no skills whatsoever and it sucks at high levels because over time you only get a bunch of instant-problem-solvers like Tiny Hut, Fly and Teleport.

I would love to play this game, but the lack of a FOV option makes it entirely unplayable. I tried several times and within minutes I’m at the point of almost throwing up. I’ve never encountered another game with a FOV this bad, it’s pathetic!

That entire statement is a lie. Antivaxers and other conspiracy nuts are just as tiny a minority as the Lemmy bubble. If you want to discredit the “normies”, at least use arguments that are actually true.

Another case of Lemmy users angrily downvoting because they don’t understand how the world works. These are exactly the questions that need to be asked.

Right now, I could slap the label “AI free” on my completely AI generated game and just claim that I interprete it as "the game doesn’t use gen AI while running.

The Boys gets worse with every season.

The Critical Role stuff has very little involvement on Amazons side.

Good Omens was actually good. No complaints there.

I completely disagree. Difficulty is not an accessibility option. It’s a cheap way out of fixing more complex problems, but ultimately easier difficulty just means that you won’t have to interact with the game as much to get through it. No problem if the parrying lacks clear indications when you can just take the very weak hits from the enemies instead of learning the parry system.

But for most games, it doesn’t really impact anyone if you add a difficulty slider, so game developers just do that instead of dealing with accessibility issues in their core systems.

And then there’s the souls games. These games would become objectively worse by adding a difficulty option. When overcoming impossible odds is the core principle of the game, then adding a slider to make the odds mildly inconvenient instead of impossible will actively jeopardize that very principle!

In fact there are countless stories of people with severe disabilities who found new hope in clawing through the souls games. They let go of their learned helplessness precisely because they realized that what their playing is hard and failing over and over again is an important part of the process.

That being said, the souls games do deserve some criticism in some aspects regarding accessibility. There’s a lot in the UI and feedback department that could be done to improve accessibility without having a negative impact on the game itself.

And as a last point, there are plenty of ways in which you can tweak several difficulty aspects of the souls games. Mavic is way easier than heavy strength builds which is way easier than dex builds. So, if you just want to go sight seeing, then why not use cheats and magic?

And that’s why a free trade deal between the EU and the Us would be absolutely horrible. Keep your useless garbage on the other side of the pond. We don’t want it!

Yeah, I’m downvoting this shit. This is not mildly infuriating, this is just unnecessary ragebait and the fact that OP didn’t even blur out the usernames clearly shows their intention to go against rule 5.

Especially the conveniently placed spike frames everywhere. I love it!

Yeah, a choice between being down due to cloudflare outage once a year or all the time due to DDOS attacks.

Honestly, the arch linux forums are one of the worst offenders in my experience. Most of my “you should have learned that during the installation”, “why do you even use X? Y is way better and does something completely different” and worst of all “Of course it doesn’t work. Manjaro is just DDOS” encounters stem from there. But XDA is a pretty ok place.

Yeah, it’s a sad state of affairs. Forums were good at some point. But nowadays it feels like only the most socially deranged, basement dwelling, self righteous asshats are still on there. And this is especially true for anything related to linux.

Sure, you may get a usable answer somewhere down the line. But the amount of verbal abuse, “Uhm actshually” and “why don’t you do completely unrelated thing” you get is unbearable.

Gender reveal parties are weird. But what’s even weirder is people on the internet going mental because parents inform their loved ones of the child’s gender with 97% accuracy.

Finally, an arch distro where there’s a chance for some actual support and without a community that consists entirely of basement dwelling, self-righteous wankers, who have never learned social human interaction!

Seriously, Manjaro is kind of bad, but every time I’m tempted to install Arch, it takes minutes on the forums to convince me what a horrible idea that would be.

My prime example would be Donald Trump. Hideously looking and true evil while dumping strength, dexterity, constitution (unfortunately not enough), intelligence and wisdom, but he undeniably has at least an 18 in charisma.

No, most people have email notifications disabled (like me). That 24h visibility boost will do way more than wishlist mails ever could!

E-Mail is an outdated and terrible way of communication. Sure, it’s still present in a lot of places, but no future proof technology should rely on E-Mail!
