I would love to play this game, but the lack of a FOV option makes it entirely unplayable. I tried several times and within minutes I’m at the point of almost throwing up. I’ve never encountered another game with a FOV this bad, it’s pathetic!

That entire statement is a lie. Antivaxers and other conspiracy nuts are just as tiny a minority as the Lemmy bubble. If you want to discredit the “normies”, at least use arguments that are actually true.

Another case of Lemmy users angrily downvoting because they don’t understand how the world works. These are exactly the questions that need to be asked.

Right now, I could slap the label “AI free” on my completely AI generated game and just claim that I interprete it as "the game doesn’t use gen AI while running.

I completely disagree. Difficulty is not an accessibility option. It’s a cheap way out of fixing more complex problems, but ultimately easier difficulty just means that you won’t have to interact with the game as much to get through it. No problem if the parrying lacks clear indications when you can just take the very weak hits from the enemies instead of learning the parry system.

But for most games, it doesn’t really impact anyone if you add a difficulty slider, so game developers just do that instead of dealing with accessibility issues in their core systems.

And then there’s the souls games. These games would become objectively worse by adding a difficulty option. When overcoming impossible odds is the core principle of the game, then adding a slider to make the odds mildly inconvenient instead of impossible will actively jeopardize that very principle!

In fact there are countless stories of people with severe disabilities who found new hope in clawing through the souls games. They let go of their learned helplessness precisely because they realized that what their playing is hard and failing over and over again is an important part of the process.

That being said, the souls games do deserve some criticism in some aspects regarding accessibility. There’s a lot in the UI and feedback department that could be done to improve accessibility without having a negative impact on the game itself.

And as a last point, there are plenty of ways in which you can tweak several difficulty aspects of the souls games. Mavic is way easier than heavy strength builds which is way easier than dex builds. So, if you just want to go sight seeing, then why not use cheats and magic?

And that’s why a free trade deal between the EU and the Us would be absolutely horrible. Keep your useless garbage on the other side of the pond. We don’t want it!

Yeah, I’m downvoting this shit. This is not mildly infuriating, this is just unnecessary ragebait and the fact that OP didn’t even blur out the usernames clearly shows their intention to go against rule 5.

Especially the conveniently placed spike frames everywhere. I love it!

Honestly, the arch linux forums are one of the worst offenders in my experience. Most of my “you should have learned that during the installation”, “why do you even use X? Y is way better and does something completely different” and worst of all “Of course it doesn’t work. Manjaro is just DDOS” encounters stem from there. But XDA is a pretty ok place.

Yeah, it’s a sad state of affairs. Forums were good at some point. But nowadays it feels like only the most socially deranged, basement dwelling, self righteous asshats are still on there. And this is especially true for anything related to linux.

Sure, you may get a usable answer somewhere down the line. But the amount of verbal abuse, “Uhm actshually” and “why don’t you do completely unrelated thing” you get is unbearable.

Finally, an arch distro where there’s a chance for some actual support and without a community that consists entirely of basement dwelling, self-righteous wankers, who have never learned social human interaction!

Seriously, Manjaro is kind of bad, but every time I’m tempted to install Arch, it takes minutes on the forums to convince me what a horrible idea that would be.

I guess Light No Fire has a good chance of becoming such a game. It’s gonna be No Mans Sky, but on one earth sized fantasy planet. I don’t think it will have large cities though. 🤔

Open source and source available are not and cannot be used interchangeably. They mean two extremely different things!

Then I must be the most plain motherfucker out there. I meddle with Create and Biomes o’ plenty every couple of years, but about 90% of my worlds are vanilla with the exception of a couple of Vanilla Tweaks data packs.

I tried Feed the Beast once… never again. That was the worst Minecraft experience I’ve had in my entire life!

I don’t know about other countries, but here in Germany E-Bikes are limited to 25 km/h. That’s pretty close to the slowest speed a motorbike can drive at.

I believe you’re talking about racing bikes. Those fully manual and can reach high speeds depending on the driver. But when riding a racing bike, a reinforced leather jacket and trousers are pretty much a surefire way to overheat. I guess a point could be made for knee and ell ow protectors, but everything else is just incompatible with the body’s need to cool down.

No, most people have email notifications disabled (like me). That 24h visibility boost will do way more than wishlist mails ever could!

Bullshit! The truth is that to even sell your product in the first place you have to sell it to a big corporation for peanuts so that they can then get rich on your idea because you can’t afford the marketing or production cost to popularize your product on your own. And software patents have even less reason to exist. They’re just pure evil!

We should also talk about how “Difficulty is part of the game and if you find it too difficult then this game is not for you” is not a personal attack, but a perfectly valid response to said criticism.

Htmx requires JS. At that point you already failed in the eyes of the purists. And CDNs exist for a reason. You can’t expect a website to guarantee perfect uptime and response times without the use of CDNs. And don’t get me started on how expensive it would be to host a globally requested website without a CDN. That’s a surefire way to get a million dollar bill from amazon!

I like React, but Svelte really hits the spot. But no matter what framework you use, let’s all be glad that we’re not like those reality averse people complaining in this thread 🙏

So, your site still doesn’t work without JS but you get to not use all the convenience React brings to the table? Boy, what a deal! Maybe you should go talk to Trump about those tariffs. You seem to be at least as capable as Flintenuschi!
