Neat, I'm with everyone here when I say this is the much better solution.I'd prefer it to be a bit more clear of a warning and a bit less of a company apology so people who do need the warnings such as younger kids are informed and not immediately put off by playing something almost immediately presented as 'inexcusable'.

I do this enough that I'm convinced my friends gaslight me. It would be easier to just say that I'll watch something later. Instead I'll tell someone I know of it and why I haven't watched it yet. Easy for them to interpret I'm not interested and then later they'll tell me I'm not interested in it and I'll be very confused and then multiple people will agree.

The problem is that they probably never gaslight me, and that fear stems from a situation where I so vividly internalise a situation that leads to the conclusion they don't gaslight me that I forget the end result. The example being I have no idea which pronunciation of yoghurt is American and Which is British, because I used to be made fun of for saying it wrong. I only remember I was made fun of, I don't remember what I used to say or what the right way is.

Edit: The fact I bring up yoghurt tells you everything

And it was an international release as well.

I spent about 3 years trying to get into various tcg and drafts was easily the best. There are still try hards but they height is reading the release list so it's basically "dude, we got a Dinoraxis of the Tyberior" "Hell yeah, there's a rosaro here as well". And then they play similarly leveled decks. Thankfully MTG is way better at intermediate levels then Pokémon or YuGiOh. People who play those games actively don't want fresh blood the way they play.

Feels correct to suggest platformers as a human game. Human wowed by jumping between two platforms while the elves are like "you can do that on between trees in real life" dwarves "you ever jumped a fissure?"

I am, but also, this is at multiple reputable places so it's a trend more than just one shitty business. It could also just be companies are less likely to let people stay with them in good faith and it might be about new blood coming in to organise

This is interesting because firings I've been involved with nearly always cut the important staff first because they make the most. The more valuable, the more you get paid and therefore the more you save when they go.

Sucks that there's so many layoffs happening in tech right now that my first reaction was "that's not that bad".

[–] Ilflish@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Slightly more complicated than that. It's also that some countries are way more affected by changes then others. Sure everyone uses fossil fuels but only specific countries export it so you are basically asking a country to cripple itself for you. Same when people suggest we should just not cut down the rainforests. In both cases it would likely be done if other countries paid for it. But right now it's what you say as well as asking people to handicap themselves

Should have been more clear, I'm talking about a 3D open world Pokemon. So the closest one to that is Digimon, which doesn't have captures. It took until Pokémon themselves created a poor version of what people asked for in this instance for another one to appear.

Not really. In fact technology is often a great example of good demand but little effort put in to meet it. Open source software is riddled with issues that people are too eager enough to report but not eager enough to fix for everyone . We have an example of Palworld finally filling a niche described in the market for almost 2 decades.
