Getting in shape won't make you think you're less ugly, you'll just find different things to obsess over until you find something you can't change.

Dysmorphia is a mental illness issue.

You can be ugly, or out of shape, or any of those things, but the idea that you are so uniquely, supremely ugly that you can't make up for it in other ways is literally just internet idiots being idiots and not touching enough grass.

I've seen men with very obvious deformities happily married with kids, I've seen perfectly toned bodybuilders being (correctly) snubbed for being insecure dickheads, I've seen perfectly average dudes dating models, looks matter but not the way you think they do.

Get out of your head, get treatment if you truly have these feelings of immeasurable ugliness because they are a legit sign of treatable mental illness, and for the love of christ go out and make some normie friends, you clearly need them.

Normies are happy not because they "don't get it" but because they are typically pretty well adjusted and average, while your online friends are just like you: a bunch of toaster fuckers who met in the toaster fucker forums reinforcing eachother's obsession with dicking down toasters.

To be fair, are there many conversations where that comes up at all unless someone in the conversation is an ace/aro person?

Not necessarily, they are pretty sure the Devs will fold like a stack of lawn chairs well before any legal precedent can even come into play, especially cause Japanese companies can sue in Japan and basically win by default against foreign defendants.

Legend of Grimrock seems pretty close, i haven't played it in years though so I might be misremembering.

You also said "feel" not "look". If you exclusively meant aesthetics you should clarify it in your own comment.

Also, responsiveness is not about if something is "fast enough" it's about making the thought>action gap as small as possible for better immersion and player control. Higher FPS means there is a more consistent time from input to effect. If i press a button in a 30 fps game the input delay can be anything from almost none to 1/30th of a second (30ms, which if you played online games back in the day is not great), and there is no way to tell how much it will be. The more frames the less of a possible variance you experience.

Also all input is tied to framerate, if you have examples of games that have their input loop completely separate from framerate I'm all ears, especially given rendering is not on demand.

Yes but frame rate is primarily about responsiveness, not aesthetics, which is why AI frame generation is a horseshit idea.

On Steam you can report review bombing events to have the reviews struck from the list so...

And the working at blizzard line is mocking Thor for literally never shutting the fuck up about his nepobaby job.

whether or not this was intentional or misinformed is up for debate

It's not, in his response to the initial controversy he cut out the part of Ross' video that directly contradicted his misrepresentation, he's a lying piece of shit.

This makes me wonder why I’ve never heard this perspective before?

Well, I am not a progressive, for one. I agree with some principles but I disagree fundamentally on what a world that fulfills those principles looks like, so I can sympathise with the members of the movement but I find them misguided at best and actively hostile to my other principles at worst.

In fact, I know I proposed some ideas antithetical to some (IMO wrong) dogmas of the progressive movement, such as doing away with the politeness nuclar standoff, the tone policing, etc, not only because they're actively hobbling the movement and making it politically irrelevant, though they are, but because they are things I find fundamentally detrimental to society at large if they were to ever become more mainstream than they already were until the recent fall out of favour of progressivism in the american zeitgeist. (And when america gets a cold the rest of the world starts sneezing)

I wonder if people say this in mostly conservative forums, and I just don’t see it from my personal fish bowl?

Perhaps, I wouldn't know. I'm just a European liberal who has to sit on the sidelines and quietly hate american politics for polluting the rest of the world with its fumes, tilting the scales in favour of the far right as a backswing to a "far left" political climate that literally never materialised in our own countries just because your progressive movement's optics are bad enough to be fucking radioactive.

It’s almost as if it would have been useful for this position to be expressed earlier to educate people before all the frustration occurred.

We tried to tell you and were called every single name under the sun.

Hell, I got told in this very thread that I want to create spaces hostile to women, by some coward who then deleted all their posts in response to me asking for a clarification as to why.

American liberals, do yourselves a favour and cut out the progressive activist tumor from your political sphere, let the far left deal with them, and just actually stick to your principles, if you still have any that aren't entirely based on reflexively doing the opposite of what the right says. (Yes I am bitter, how could you tell?)

I'm sorry that's just rad as hell, masculinity has nothing to do with it, that's just great taste.

that most cheaters are never given a second chance

Source on that, also even then, the ones who are prove the statistic to be quite reliable. See here for the effects on both the cheater and the victim.

Considering the effects on the victim (suspicion even on non-cheating partners for years) you actually don't deserve a second chance, even if you were on the straight and narrow for the rest of your life.

It'd be like you intentionally smashed his kneecap then stayed with him out of guilt to help him walk.

right but the norm is already changing on so many other issues why is this an exception ?

Cause this change is actively immoral and harmful and people don't want it, duh.

Things change because people want them to change. They don't want this to change because they don't want to enable potential cheaters in their lives, because as something becomes less socially stigmatised the less of a barrier there is to actually doing it.
