  • Those who are against iOS and Apple in general, have you tried their devices lately?

    Jump
    1. Are you AI/bot?
    2. Wall of text = incomprehensible, would not read/5.
    3. It's rarely about how good the devices are, but how much they cost + Apple's two-faced moral model that makes people oppose/reject it.

  • Ah, I see. You'd want more diversity or substance to the dungeons, not length, or puzzles.

    Would you exchange it for less dungeons? I mean, smaller number of them, but each distinctive?

    And if so, how would you predict it'd change the dynamics of the game? Because now dungeons are pretty much "loot trips", or locations required to solve some quests only. You know, "Oh, I need me some good weaponry, I'm gonna raid a few tombs and see where it's going to get me.

    (Asking as a worldbuilder).

  • Yet your argument still ignores all nuance. (...)

    There are no nuances needed to be acknowledged in this specific distinction. People playing in good faith, WILL try to overcome any obstacles according to their experience, skills and maturity. People who don't, will invent problems and actively search for them rather than focus on solutions. Neither needs Session #0.

    good group doesn’t need session zero and bad group isn’t helped by it

    It's absolutely wrong take on the dillema. GOOD group doesn't have to play in good faith - they are good players, experienced veterans, that know the art of role playing well. But they don't have to put all their skills into good outcome. They may, for many reasons try to undermine the experience, break the game, test the ruleset for weaknesses, focus on one singe aspect of the game (for example, on combat) rather than on the whole adventure. And the other way around - bad gamers, clueless and inexperienced might still try to save their game, make the best of it.

    As you can see, what you're discussing is wildly different to what I've been talking about.

    Now you’re just doing some pedantic backpedaling, as though it changes the fact that your argument hinges on a false binary.

    From where I sit - it's you who didn't think through your position and when asked about details became passively-aggressive. Usually a strong hint that you feel you're/were wrong.

    And it's ironic that you simultaneously accuse me of lacking nuances and simultaneously of being "too nuanced". 😬

    Your question belongs more to Ask Lemmy or No Stupid Questions I think.

    In addition: what appeared earlier on this planet? Kids or cartoons?

  • I prefer Fallout: Tactics to vanilla F:NV.

    If not for DLCs that offer something wildly different in their own separate maps, I'd call it the worst Fallout game I've been playing...

  • I don't get that "shallow" part.

    In Bethesda's worlds there's always something going on, something new to discover, something new to learn... Providing you put an effort to pursue that. These games don't force themselves upon the player, they leave helluva room for breathing, caring about whatever small goals you may set upon yourself, but that's not "bad", isn't it?

  • I never understood the hate Bethesda's open world sandboxes get. Give them a few months of time for patching & modding and they become rock-solid games to enjoy for decades. I don't expect Starfield to be anything less and I hope it will be far more than that.

    By the way... OSIRIS: New Dawn and SpaceBourne 2 - have you tried either?

  • I never said that individuals are "good/bad". I said they approach the game with either good faith or bad faith, which is radically different to what you're talking about.

  • time will tell

    So we can agree that we're discussing and juxtaposing against each other very vague things, that might as well turn out to be completely false?

    Much like the predicted scenario of allegedly upcoming climate disaster, correct?

  • If the group consists of people who come there in good faith and are determined to have fun, no Session 0 is needed. Whatever problems will arise on the way, are going to be dealt with in mature way.

    And if the group features bad faith actors, then no amount of discussion prior to the game will prevent a disaster from happening.

  • I never said Toba didn’t happen.

    I never said you did.

    We’re just debating the degree it affected the entire species

    We're not.

    We're on the way to acknowledge the fact that the mankind withstood "extinction level" events in the past.

  • You should read the entire article.

    I'm glad YOU did. This way you can learn that there were "extinction level" events in Mankind's history.

    And we survived it.
