I have to use windows for work. Installed vim through winget and set a powershell alias, allowing me to use it similarly to linux. Windows ist still just ass though.

I’m not saying that lgbtq characters cannot play prominent roles, I’m saying that people will roll their eyes if being lgbtq is their primary attribute.
It cannot be front and center and normal at the same time. It cannot be the main part of a character’s identity, else it will always be perceived as “special” and “extra”, but not “normal”. Devs can make whatever game with whatever chars they want ofc, but the result is what we’re seeing with ubisoft.
I’m just ranting at this point.
funny, given that most gamers seem to agree with me, according to sales numbers. Noone wants this shit in games. Perhaps we’re not the problem.
Bullshit. Normalization means not making a big deal out of it, which goes contrary to the woke standard of putting it front and center.
Because things like black protagonists with hip-hop music in the background make no sense in a feudal japanese setting and people are sick of games being abused as vehicles for morality preaching.
An example from borderlanfs two could be Sir Hammerlock, who was introduced as a normal (for borderlands) character early on and later in a side quest was revealed to be gay in passing. That’s the kind of ‘representation’ you want for lgbtq to be “normalized”. In modern games, his story would be one of struggle against straight white oppressors at the end of which there would be a five minute long cutscene in which everybody turns to the camera and informs the player that being gay is normal and that prejudice is bad and that straight white people are inherently evil. I’m overexagerating (spelling?) of course, but you get the point.
literally all they need to do. If you make games that people actually want to play, then people will buy them. And if you want to have lgbtq characters, then do it like borderlands 2, that game got it right in 2012.
Steam only charges that for larger developers though iirc
Right? Femshep is amazing, but people are sleeping on maleshep. ‘we’ll bang, okay?’
In an archaeology sub. Really. This is exactly why the US is so divided and why violence is your most likely outcome. Grow a personality and stop dragging politics into everything.
Their games are certainly getting dumber/simpler, I’ll give you that. Hope one of their future games will eventually live up to your standards again.
TES III - V were all amazing. Can’t wait for TES VI to come out in 2035.
This is not a new thing, even back in 2012 the much-beloved borderlands 2 got five new missions which cost $2 each.
Except that there’s 40GB of pre-installed, unremovable garbage software
The icon thing can be worked around with something like heimdall. I host my own docker container of it and just set that as my startup page in my browser. Looks much nicer than a blank page and everything happens in my own network.
I’m not against renewable energy, but it would be nich if there was a plan for recycling large amounts of old and broken solar panels if their adoption keeps accelerating
It’s a fair point
All devs turn 40 and quit their job, buy a cottage near the forest and start growing their own vegetables anyway, so you just need to stick to it for a few more years.
