There’s this reminded of a bit by Ari Matti where he goes “you people put sugar on your medicine. You know the rest of the world doesn’t do that?”

Maybe vaccines laced with sugar is the answer America needs.

I’m genuinely amazed at how naturally evil they look. You don’t even need to know who they are, you can tell just by looking at them that they’re arll pieces of shit.

So you’re saying she did nothing wrong?

I’m fully of the opinion that difficulty is a matter of determination. If a quadriplegic can beat Elden Ring then I really don’t know what kind of a disability someone would have to have to not be able to play difficult games.

I’m not against difficulty options. I turn the difficulty down in some games because I think the higher difficulties simply funnel you into a certain playstyle (looking at you Bethesda). But difficulty options IMO are more of am accessibility for the sake of convenience rather than a necessity and as such I don’t think every game requires difficulty options.

Yeah, the whole thing stinks to high heavens of the devs fucking around and then trying to shift the blame onto Valve.

Sekiro can be used to make an interesting point about easy mode. One could argue that the first playthrough is the easy mode because in new game plus you can give away Kuro’s charm which means only perfect blocks prevent chip damage. Does easy mode mean it has to easier or does it mean it has to be without challenge?

I never said I have a source for accurate numbers. I said whatever numbers you’ve looked at so far are not the numbers you should be looking at and then added what kind of numbers you should be looking at.

I can already tell you that you’re looking at wrong numbers and thus coming to the wrong conclusion. Of course the total number of cheaters will be bigger on windows, 94% of PC gamers play on Windows. That’s like saying Monaco is such a poor country because their GDP is only 30 million compared to the 30 trillion of the US GDP. Except Monaco isn’t poor, the US is simply magnitudes bigger than Monaco.

If you comparable numbers you should compare the proportions of cheaters in relation to the whole userbase of the platform.

I personally know a few people who are interested in buying the Steam Machine but are having doubts because some their regular games use anticheat that doesn’t work on Linux.

I imagine the amount of people is significantly higher than you might think because the vast majority of gamers don’t care about invasive anticheat. To them Steam machine is the equivalent of a console. They probably don’t even care it runs on Linux because all they care about is being able to play games.

I’ve been hooked on ARC raiders since it launched. I’ve done all the quests, I’ve done all upgrade, I’ve done the expedition prep (to the point it can be done), I’ve finished the raider deck. The only things left to do are the trials but even when I’ve more or less cleared the weekly trials I’m still playing the game. It’s just so compelling.

The ARCs demand respect. They’re so dangerous sometimes the best option is to not even fight them. That is especially true for bigger ARCs because you have to prepare to fight them. Whenever one of the bigger ARCs notice me and I’m not prepared to fight them I’m booking it into the first closed space I can get because if you don’t break line of sight you’re going to have a bad day. So my advice is avoid avoid avoid until you’ve come prepared to take one down. Once you get more comfortable with fighting ARC other players become far more dangerous than ARC.

It has its benefits. You can talk absolute depravity, like Trump farting so much shit into Ivankas mouth that liquid diarrhea is overflowing from the side of her mouth with chunks of yesterday’s pasta bolognese dangling off her chin, and get no mental image of that filth. But you can enjoy that imagery.

I doubt it. I think they understand that the hardware market is volatile and what might cost $800 now might be $1000 in a few months.

When someone fails to explain how something is a strawman I don’t give a fuck when they double down on calling it a strawman.

You wouldn’t make a comment if you didn’t want to argue so you’re lying to yourself.

See, you’re not understanding me. I said we cannot argue if we agree. That disagreement on a minor detail doesn’t count.

Right. So explain with real world examples of how higher difficulty actually prevents people with disability from playing a game. Make me understand because so far you’ve done nothing but say general statements and dismiss me.

Because we can’t argue if we agree.

I don’t care about the downvotes so if it was you or not doesn’t really matter to me. But I still think you didn’t get what I was saying.

Yep, you keep talking out of your ass and ducking at every criticism. No wonder you demand easy mode for everything, you can’t stand the slightest amount of pushback.

Oh really? Where exactly do you think I addressed it?
