Oh yeah, I loved eternal. It really clicked for me when I played on a steam deck and had the two back triggers to the grenade and jump.

Seem like Doom want eternal wanted people to be switching weapons constantly like high-level players of Doom 2016. But it just wasn't as fun to do it that way for every player

I recognize that you consider them a group of people. But I am trying to understand your position. It sounds like you want the law to be blind to trans people/men/women, because any laws pertaining to a singular gender would be discriminatory.

Surely you can't be speaking for all countries, though, when you say that it's up to the judge? I would have thought that some countries would handle these things as a matter of law. In that case, wouldn't it make sense to have a law for transgender people that's different for men and women and trans people,?

In Australia, for example, it seems that trans women go to men's prison; resulting in negative outcomes for the inmate. Perhaps a law in Australia would prevent that from happening?

Are you saying the law shouldn't recognise trans people as a group? They should be just men or women (of their identification) in the eyes of the law?

Lets say a trans person breaks the law and goes to prison. Should a trans man go to a man's prison (where they will face statistically higher rates of abuse), or should the law provide some nuance in this situation?

I'm not personally a lawyer. Also, I'm Australian and our discrimination laws don't allow the laws to discriminate on the basis of protected qualities like sex, religion, age, sexual identity/orientation and intersex status.

Maybe some laws (I.e. protective laws) should apply more specifically to trans people though, I'm not sure what sort of awkward legal situations can arise by every law applying equally to every person.

How about the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, which provides additional protections and services for women who are in domestic violence situations. Things like access to free rape exams, legal representation etc.

Another day, another banger

Yep, my point exactly. Admittedly I am not a trans person, but my understanding is that trans people have slightly different concerns, protections and risks than cis people.

Makes sense. I think it's possible to hold this belief and still be pro-trans rights. There's literally not a limit on the number of laws we can have, seems silly to change what a legal woman is rather than include transgender women people as an additional group that these laws can apply to.

Same here. Give me some unique movement and platforming mechanics, an expanded world, and fun boss fights that make use of the platform and combat challenges that come about as a result of those new mechanics, and Silksong will be a hit for me. Looking forward to more of their OST, presuming Christopher Larkin is doing it again.

Yikes

Wow, over that period of time that's reasonable for an enthusiast I would think. Mine (about 1000 USD plus that again from key resellers) is since I started mainly playing PC in 2017. I think the average game cost meant that the spend hasn't lowered, but the size of collection has ballooned. Hardware costs are probably the greater spend in PC gaming (maybe not for your collection!)

Yikes that's an order of magnitude above me and I thought I was bad. Over what time period?

The unpopular part is that I disagree with the discussion which is microscopically focussed on raging at game publishers, citing corporate greedy as the only reason game prices are so high.

$80 should be an affordable amount of money to spend for someone on an average wage for a game (not unpopular).

I mean, it would be great if the global population was lower, whilst also not creating aging population issues. Automation plus UBI seems a lot better than "everyone kill grandma". Big issue being that those that own the automation don't want to pay forUBI.

While I agree that 1 person can make a game easier than ever before, game development cost has ballooned for bigger studios.

People love to point to Indie mega hits and say "why doesn't EA/Activision just make games with creativity like Balatro? This is what the people want.", but I challenge anyone to actually predict what that hit game is going to be before it takes off.

It's a big gamble to put games out there and most indie studios don't make more than 1. It's not a reliable business model to put these thousand person studios to work on a thousand different solo pet projects.

Truely Trump is the master of the Art of the Deal

Lonely Mountains: Downhill. A voxel indie mountain bike riding game that basically has you trying to ride down various mountain trails in shorter times and with less crashes. Very chill game, good for parents who don't have a lot of time to game anymore.

Yeah WTF? Obviously the rest of the world needs to suffer for the cost increase in the US.. Maybe now is the time to preorder a Switch 2 before Nintendo change their worldwide pricing. It's cheaper than $450 USD here in Australia right now.

P in that case Nicole's DMs are the Lemmy women's sub.
