Ha, no. Many older gamers have the disposable income but not the time or motivation to spend hundreds of hours on gaming per month. I know what I’m talking about.

Still never buying into that subscription bullshit.

Here as well.

Everything you claim to do here can be done safely, which I condone and have done myself. The way you go about it, you’ve chosen to be a serious danger to others for absolutely no good reason, while lying to yourself that it’s okay because you’re doing them a favor.

Go to hell.

I told you I don’t care what you do with your own mind and body.

But if you don’t care that you’re putting other people in danger of serious harm, then you’re a horrible person.

Do with your own life whatever you want, but don’t give dangerous advice to people who may trust you and don’t know better.

If you’re all about fun, guess what, even just a bad trip ruins that too.

Yeah that’s fun. But I bet you had people to tell you what to expect and how to be reasonably safe.

“Try all drugs” will get people to try Heroin or Fentanyl and fuck themselves up for life in an evening. Don’t do that. We have a responsibility towards each other, especially towards newbies.

The distinction may seem like nitpicking but no, CSAM is a legally defined term of depictions of actual children being sexually abused.

This game does not feature any such content. Not just because there are no depictions of real children, but also because the fictional children depicted aren’t subjected to sexual abuse.

Valve’s language cites “sexual conduct” which in this case reportedly (I didn’t watch it myself) has been stretched to include nudity that is non-sexual in nature.

I get why Valve would err on the side of caution, but that TOS decision is no basis to turn around and make the legally relevant claim that the game features actual CSAM.

Did you maybe start with online dating? That’s where the transactional thing really is omnipresent and it sucks.

I think this is a joke about the first copper-tier sponsor.

It’s not. Roundabouts work better than intersections.

The whole game can even be read as propaganda against car-centric traffic management, because road planning just becomes a nightmare at some point that incentivizes you heavily to diversify into public transportation and even walkable city blocks.

Home Office can also really suck if you don’t have a dedicated workspace at home. Spending 10-12 hours at the same place with no reason to leave the home for days can really fuck with your emotional state.

the bigger issue is that generally people think men are evil by default, and women are good by default. and that’s not a cultural assumption most folks are willing to look past.

I consider myself a feminist and I vehemently disagree with that take, nor does it reflect in any way the commonly held views in the relevant communities.

Women and men are people. All people hold the capacity for good and evil within them. The real differences are 1) our respective socialization, and 2) the way we are perceived and treated by society based on our gender. That’s not an individual issue, but a systemic one.

I’ve been part of a few support groups for men that regularly received appreciation from women specifically because they were aimed at helping men in recognition of this fact, and thus didn’t revolve into inceldom and gender war nonsense.

That’s the only context in which that comment makes sense.

I know it’s a quote. So considering that nazis are a subset of fascists, what’s “LMAO” about saying that not all fascists are nazis? It is a simple logical conclusion of the first statement.

Yeah. So it is as I said, it seems you got the order mixed up here. This comment makes no sense otherwise.

Yea and not all dogs are poodles. I think you got the order confused further up.

Yes, it’s a dogs vs poodles thing. Shouldn’t be so hard to understand.

But in either case there’s massive value in the existing content that would be lost.

Ah. I’ve spent hundreds of hours on Anno games and always considered them part of the range of RTS. Are you sure those terms are incompatible? Seems like a strategy game can be “grand” and “real-time” at the same time.

tbf a lot of people don’t buy a top notch rig for RTS games, so I think it’s entirely valid to test on a dated PC and point out if this is a weakness - but not record gameplay on it exclusively.

If one reviewer has an insufficient PC, assign it to a different person - at least the gameplay recording.
