As someone who still uses these occasionally : It's much easier to use than Reddit, Facebook or Twitter without their privacy invading apps. Their browser experience is laughably bad on smartphones (especially Reddit which is barely functional, and that is not an exaggeration), Lemmy is buttery smooth by comparison, even if we take in consideration the occasional home instance/federation hiccups.

I play men characters a lot of the time because the boobs armor trend annoys me. I always try to make them look very distinct from me irl though. I really like this new trend of making all armors gender neutral (e.g BG3 and especially MH wilds, since the series had a long standing tradition of making some of the female armors really... Let's say "not realistically functional as an armor". In the new one they still have these versions but you are free to choose any of the 2 looks regardless of your character's gender).

I do recall some people being upset that they basically "yassified" Geralt from the witcher 2 and onwards. According to the books he's supposed to look "weird" or something like that. Like, not repulsive but definitely not sexy, with slightly "unnatural" proportions and beast-like traits, etc. Which I think they nailed in the first game, through the low definition textures and models probably help a lot with the uncanniness.

I find that people crying about non-white male and/or non-bimbo female MCs are outrage tourists pushing their stupid gamergate agenda 99% of the time. At this point I don't know why we are even acknowledging them anymore.

The Outer Wilds was a first game from an indie studio. On this basis alone it was practically guaranteed to not get the success it deserved. And it does deserve a ton of it.

Conversely, call of duty is literally one of the most notorious franchises in the entire industry, and pretty much sells on its name alone.

If the game is good, doesnt need an active playerbase to survive (ie isn't entirely based on multiplayer), and the company is already reputable, it has no reasons to not sell decently in the long run. Also if an (already established) company's future is jeopardized by a single game not doing well, I'm sorry but it's not well managed. Ask me how I know.

As a man I wanted to clarify that I am also easily fascinated by cheese

NGL I was on board at the first line. He lost me quickly after though

if you thinking that a game even releasing in the same month as GTA6 won’t have a permanent impact on that games sales, you’re smoking the reefer.

Maybe they should stop trying to peddle bland-ass live service games that live and die by their players numbers then. A good solo game might take a hit to its initial sales but should recover in the long run.

That's an easy pretense for our overly violent riot cops (who are deployed to literally any protest but somehow can't be arsed to disperse illegal overtly racist protests nowadays) to arrest you though. And keep you detained for up to 3 days iirc.

Hey we have the same dumb law in France. I remember getting a ski patrol guy getting very confused when I snarkily asked him if I was gonna get in trouble for wearing my balaclava to the slopes, which was technically illegal according to this law.

Silent h. (Of courses there are some rare, non silent Hs)

Edit : actually the op was talking about the liaison between "~~sans~~ suis" and "un" here. Though you do also do the same for the N of "un" and the O of "homme" in this sentence according to the same rules (and since that H is silent)

Defines "ages". Blue leds came out of Japan somewhat recently and that's pretty huge
