A lot of stuff people get in fights about in games would be fixed by just making it a toggle imo.

I think it's better to respond to people as if they mean what they say, and then the worst that happens is you miss a joke. Accusing someone who's trying to have a sincere conversation of being a troll is unkind.

It's frustrating because there *are* accessibility issues that could be easily sorted out and disabilities that can be easily accommodated and this stupid poo poo just dilutes the issue

to be completely sincere on the subject - stuff like BotW is something I want to like. Twice now I've tried to make it through the game but I always just burn out. And that is wholly on me because I feel like BotW (and especially TotK) require some creativity on the part of the player. Every time I see someone gush about those games, they talk about all of the creative hijinks they get into.

I am not a creative person. Just like some people struggle with directions, I struggle with sandboxy "make your own fun" games

This is why I tend to stick to fairly linear narratively-dense RPGs.

It's totally fine, friend. There are games out there for everyone.

Silly game 'Roundabout' has a lot of youtuber and ex-SA people doing all the voice acting. It works because the performances are kinda bad on purpose - that's usually bullshit I know, but in Roundabout it's true. They're going for something specific.

It looks cool but I can't play scary games due to being too insanely based.

Pacific Drive is more about spookiness and vibes than jumpscares or suffering. I think it's pretty accessible for the horror-averse.

They didn't really get the general culture of Something Awful so when one poster got probated/banned for transphobia a bunch of them went "oh so this is not a place for free speech?!"

It was so funny. One dude made a post all 'Oh I see FREE THOUGHT is not ACCEPTED here, well I am leaving forever, GOODBYE' and then reported other people for being mean to him after that, so we banned him

I'm not gonna lie it felt good just to be able to tell a couple of those fucks to get out. Like here in the UK we have a horrendous transphobia problem in the media and I'm so used to seeing the Reasonable Discussions that boil my blood. It was nice to be able to just say no, we're not having that discussion here, it's not up for debate, gently caress off. 'oh so I'm not allowed to voice my opinion here?' no you aren't, gently caress off

Has Stardew Valley had a major update since the Ginger Island expansion? I've been out of the loop.

Also I've got the Stardew board game and really want to like it, but holy crap the whole "your game ends after a single year" is at such huge odds with the video game that I know and love

Snipe edit warning: don't blindly buy board games just because they're based on video games you like

There's a major update dropping tomorrow when ConcernedApe gets out of bed.

e: you know what licensed board game is fun though? Jaws.

Even better was that the whole Star Citizen thread purge was because when Hogwarts Legacy discussion started a 'valued' poster wanted to chide everyone who was criticizing JKR

I enjoy the style of post that is someone crashing into an unrelated conversation to go 'aha! Twelve years ago, you said this stupid thing!' and then becoming confounded when instead of a furious mob, the response is 'heh yeah I was an idiot back then, thank god I'm not like that now'. Like, they never account for the possibility that someone might just admit they were a dipshit in the past.
