Not a bad reason to want to play as yourself at all, but after the first playthrough or so then it’s time to start experimenting. One of the great things about RPGs is that you can be someone else entirely, and I think it opens us up to other ways of thinking. Playing as female shepard is at times a completely different experience, and you just want to explore it. It’s the guys who are afraid of playing as a woman, who think it’s not masculine or something weird like that. That’s not okay, drop the masculinity, be the awesome femshep bitch you were born to be. Plus to them, I like to say, “Why would I want to stare at a guy’s ass for 100+ hours?” Usually fucks with their masculinity a bit
Lol I did, whoops.

FemShep is the best way imo.
I’ve heard the weirdest excuses for why not though, worst ones were “why would I want to play as a woman, I’m a man”. Now, on your first playthrough absolutely but after that?
This is all over a GitHub stars badge? Developers probably want to encourage people to star it. It’s a huge stretch to say they’re trying to track people
You’ve been sitting in the drive through for 10 minutes how do you not know what to order?!
Me, 16 years old, on the other end of the speaker
I like to do things cost per hour. A $60 dollar video game that gives me 120 hours of content is $0.50 an hour. Pretty good if you ask me.
Going to the movies is $20 for 2 hours. $10 an hour. Pretty high, sometimes worth it. That’s about my gauge.
This is $21 an hour. For that I better be having just an amazing time, I better be at Disneyland or something.
For me it’s useful, depending how it’s implemented. Being able to say “summarize this article” or “summarize this ToS and call out anything that’s anti consumer” is how I use chatgpt
not sure about CoD myself, but Halo was my franchise of choice. Over the last couple of games they’ve changed social playlists to still alter your skill, I’m not 100% on the details of how, but essentially it means ranked is where you go to compete, social is where you go to practice for ranked. It’s become extremely frustrating because you have everyone trying way, way too hard in social games, getting angry when things don’t go perfectly, and dropping out of games that aren’t competitive enough leaving us with lopsided teams.
I just wish games had a “Hey, no skills here, just in and have fun, there’s no points or levels, that’s over there” style gaming. And if there is skill based matchmaking in that style, then we shouldn’t know about our level in those games.
Social playlists were unranked, vs ranked playlists. They generally had no stakes to play, and there were no benefits for players in there except to have fun. You couldn’t boost your skills or anything in socials, the only way to do that was to play the ranked playlists. So for me, it was just a blast playing those. Just a bunch of people who wanted to have fun
Then they wonder why I have 2000 hours in the $30 game Satisfactory and haven’t logged anything in my favorite multiplayer games. Apples and oranges I know, but why do I want to be sold to constantly?
Xbox rediscovers social matchmaking. Oh shit, you mean noobs don’t like getting 360 no scoped by some kid when they’re just learning? Bravo Xbox, you figured it out after 15 years of matchmaking.
All I’ve seen them do is continuously push ranked, MLG, clans that practice, and expect people to play every free hour of the day. Now they’re surprised that the only people who want to play their multiplayer are the try-hards.
I work 40+ hours a week. When I’m done I don’t want to log into a game where I get yelled at for letting the team down, or be the obviously worst player in a lobby of pros. We used to have social, and for a few years it was great. There was no need to farm down there, it was just for fucking around. Now in Halo Infinite even the action sack stuff is rankable. Shit sucks for a casual gamer. My favorite franchise, I know everything up and down, have played since CE (and I mean CE and Custom Edition), and I can’t get any joy out of the competitiveness of Infinite.
Yeah it’s pricey, very pricey, but the risks are just too high for a home not to be properly grounded anymore. Homeowners have had 50 years to do it, it’s time to get it done.
and that’s what I loathe about the idiots who are for this stuff. Yes, I want to curb this stuff - but for fuck’s sake there are ways to do it that aren’t “Give big government every scrap of data on you”.
There are ways to prove I’m over 18 without needing to register my ID with a porn company, or to regulate CSAM while not having to read private messages. Fuck, but we have the combination of circle of a venn diagram of idiot and control freak in congress, and they’ll happily remove all of our rights over some fear of the boogeyman
I know that the answer is yes
I mean, there you go, and all of the above. I’d add in a pretty large fire risk too. I hear my battery backups kick in regularly, and we’re talking about enough power to equal a large appliance (at least in my case). It’s 100% worth it to move them to a grounded outlet.
They are, but I’m still disheartened. Googlers tried to take a stand last year and they immediately paid them all off
That’s great! Unfortunately for every one of them there’s 4x more who gladly would
Exactly, and it begs the question too, where’s the line? If you draw a stick figure of your crush with boobs is that a crime? Is it when you put an arrow and write her name next to it? AI just makes that more realistic, but it’s the same basic premise.
Distributing it is where it crosses a hard line and becomes something that should not be encouraged.
Yeah idk. I get what they’re saying completely, but this exact one seems easy. Just do a validation check and throw an error. I mean, it is an IP validator after all. Either support hex or don’t.
