  • So decided to take revenge on the Christians/Europeans by starving the Muslims/Arabs? Yeah that makes sense. (I am not insulting your picture of choice I am insulting Isreal, I am sure you'll understand)

  • Picture source please.

  • I understand you, but I felt deep emotion seeing a 640x480 scene of a sprite (kidnapped female slave) punching another sprite and using some edgy language. Yes, it did require me to stop for a minute to imagine everything for it to hit this deep - which the game's turn based mechanics helped me with.

    I also feel the less detailed something is, the more HORRIFYING and VIOLENT it appears, as it stimulates imagination much more than HD scenes in games and movies, where most of the times that won't be able to create something more SHOCKING that what you imagined (The modern +13 goal in games and movies plays a role too, so there might be bias)

    There was a pirated TV channel that specialized - mostly - in horror movies, it had horrible audio and video quality - especially the bitrate, everything that appeared on the channel was horrifying, the lack of clearness induced a feeling similar to fearing the dark, the low bitrate in particular meant that you - the viewer - was practically blind in every fast scene, which dramatically increased the suspense.

    You might tell me to just go read a book if I want to use my imagination, and actually that's a pretty nice suggestion.

    PS: the game in the first paragraph is the first Fallout if anyone's wondering. I also barely heard of Ghost of Tsushima (or most modern games outside of FF7R)

  • The article has a '👀' emoji before important parts, which shortens it somewhat. (I fully read everything)

  • (I didn't read skimped through the article)

    Just make games with older graphics; it's cheaper, reduces visual bloat, and encourages player imagination to fill in the gaps, and investing xxx million dollars in a video game is dumb.

  • I shouldn't be replying to this as I am just as ignorant, but the last I heard of Iran is it has bombed US camps in Iraq as retaliation to the US-British attack on Yemen. (Normal Iranian behaviour if you ask me)

  • I mean the Palestinian population won't need all that space after they're done with them. (This is a joke based on Palestine's population pre and theoretical post war, and is an exaggeration)

  • "updating (the controls) for modern audiences" can be good.

    My only experience of that is when they removed grid based movements from New N' Tasty and forced players to use the analog, trying to walk felt horrible.

    But something like the first 2 Fallouts on the other hand can really use a controls overhaul.

  • I stopped caring after 'most moral military', and reading after 'Arabs doing so'.

  • I'm starting to remember things, thanks for reminding me, China is (was) used as an example of something being extremely far away where I live so it's easy to forget. (A saying of sorts)

  • To summerize: the European governments suck, and the US is originally UK related, so it sucks by extension.

    The Arab leaders are controlled by the aforementioned governments, so they suck as well.

    The Asian governments are...well...they never did anything that bad in comparasion*, but I don't follow Asian news so I can't confirm.

    The African governments and South American ones are too poor to afford a genocide.

    Australia is too far from everything else to cause a genocide.

    *Invading Ukraine is nothing compared to Europe being the source of most -or at least middle-eastern & African & south Asian- genocides throughout history.

  • Would you go to hell instead of me if I do that? (to rephrase it, would you take responsibility?) (you can't)

  • From your wording and the upvote ratio, I conclude this conversation is going nowhere, I hope you find the right path.

  • Fucking Religions can't even be consistent within their own made up framework.

    Speak for Christianity, don't drag us with it.

  • I am serious, work is a very effective psychological cure, and is human nature.

    (Or maybe you're sarcastically acting surprised of a too-obvious sentence?)

  • Though drugs are never a solution, remember that.

    Edit: I blundered and misunderstood as a result of not reading apparently.

  • In the context of the post, 17 year olds are incapable of 'Having and fulfilling adult responsibilities' while 18s fully can, which doesn't make sense biologically, therefore putting arbitrary age restrictions doesn't make sense.

    You become an adult when you become an adult and your psyche will be able to deal with things when it becomes able, not when you live for 6570 days (18 years) or whatever.

    We don't have evidence that that specific - and imaginary - 13 year old isn't, maybe he isn't fully ready, but he's ready enough to deal with what he has to deal with. (remember people don't go from being treated like kids to having a 9 to 5, I am not saying we should let him bear his responsibility fully, but I think many 13 year olds, depending on how they're raised and genetics and climate and other factors, can have a part time job - at least, and do have the spirit of an adult, if not the the full set of abilities)

    Also it is for the better to keep everyone close to using most of their abilities, abundant free time will lead to psychological issues most of the time, burying your worries in work is mostly healthy and increases the quality of life.

    (That obviously dependents on WHAT you're burying, but work is probably the cure)

    (Also I am not saying we should kick 13 year olds from school and encourage them to get jobs instead of education)

  • Being an adult has nothing to do with age, I saw 30 year-old children and 13 year-old men.
