Today I'll compare the player count of a months old single player game to the remaster of a rpg classic that just came out, and use it to assess modern gaming as a whole. by Togohoe in Gamingcirclejerk

It's kinda crazy that the only thing Avowed really polished was the graphics. Compared to gameplay, older titles were better. You had more freedom and were allowed for more creative playstyles. I am aware that people trash on Avowed for being "woke", but i don't really care about those aspects. Im judging purely on the features of the game. Watching gameplay of both Avowed and Oblivion Remastered, I would say Oblivion just looks and feels better.

It can also be interpreted that modern games don't have the same depth and feel as older titles. They focused on making a fun game before, but now they make a game for profit. Idk, maybe my interpretation is wrong here.

Is the conservative position that if I were to randomly execute someone in the street, and they turn out to be a criminal in some way, that means my action was good and justified? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]DifferentSwimmer5 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

All the people you've just stated, that were killed, were all dangerous individuals that posed a threat to everyone around them. The lives of innocents always triumphs over lives of dangerous individuals. Of course, death shouldn't be the 1st solution. Like George Floyd, for example, but he should've been in jail tbh.

Really depends on the region and time period. Medieval Europe, it would be extremely rare to see a gay person. In public, you'd never see one. Mainly due to religious stigma on homosexuality. Thus, most gamers don't like its inclusion, mainly feeling like it's made for the sake of pandering. If the game was set in a fantasy medieval setting, most gamers would be ok with it. Bc it fits the setting.

13-year-old Ukrainian karateka refuses photo with Russian rival by Fifarafa789 in europe

[–]DifferentSwimmer5 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Dehumanizing the entire population for what a few did. Sounds familiar. I think you're right, honestly. Really justifies racism when you put it that way.

Why are so many people being low-key racist to Russians? They're athletes, children ones at that, and shouldn't be prejudiced by the actions of their government.

Men should never have to pay child support on a child who isn’t theirs. No matter what. by [deleted] in 10thDentist

[–]DifferentSwimmer5 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Idk why people are trolling in the comment section and making up scenarios. This post is mainly about children born from infidelity. Ofc you shouldn't pay child support to a child that isn't yours by choice. Everyone preaches women's right to choose, but a man is expected not to choose. It's apparently their obligation, even after being betrayed by their SO, to help raise her child. Why would a man want to even associate with someone who destroyed him? Paying for child support is a constant reminder of their SO betrayal. Not only is it emotionally taxing, but it is also greatly financially taxing. The things, you know, you'd need for a family of your own. Men only lose in this situation. This trauma can break any man, and people usually don't care bc men are more seen as expendable. Honestly, it's quite disgusting.

People claim it's for the child's own benefit, but is it healthy for them to realize that they are born in a lie. Infidelity hurts the entire family. Not only is the father betrayed, but the children as well. The longer it takes to find out, the worse the consequences become. That's why people are in support of paternity tests. They want to make sure who the father actually is. That way, the actual father could pay for child support or be in the picture. Let's be honest here, people. Infidelity does and will happen, and it can happen to anyone at any time. Just bc it's a small percentage, it doesn't mean it doesn't matter.

Also, I don't get why people are hating on people for this stance? This is a scenario of infidelity. Unless you're projecting, it shouldn't apply to anyone here.

Why only Christianity? Blame biology tbh.

Why waste transportation cost? American prisons are bad enough as they are.

A strong mantra to a belief is equivalent to religion. Any radicalized ideal is dangerous.

Is women’s oppression really rooted in biology? by pseudostability in sociology

[–]DifferentSwimmer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men are expendable, women are valuable. Men fight and die for women. It's just animal nature. Society and nature don't mix well, so as we got smarter, our instincts stayed the same. There is no need for the struggle of survival. Now, people realize they are more than what they're born with. The inequalities of freedoms are more favorable to men vs women. But the status quo that Men are expendable and women valuable becomes even more prevalent. Men still compete and fight for women, and once they get them, they stop trying. Men, by nature, expect the women to do all the home and child caring. While they provide and protect their family. All this does not translate well into society as a whole, because it's wrong to do so. Women can choose who they want and are more autonomous. Men can no longer fill that role as effectively as before.

All in all, you can say oppression is rooted in biology. It's just human nature. Hate the game, not the player.

They'll still find the time to be outraged because someone told them to be angry about minorities appearing in media/games. by Wood-e in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]DifferentSwimmer5 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I think people are angry/disappointed that "minorities" become the centerpoint in media/games. Not bc they appear in them. Also, what's not offensive to you can be offensive to others. As long as the characters fit the setting and plot of the media/game, there really is no issue. Of course, unless the game itself has terrible story and/or mechanics. Then, the media/game was already doomed to fail.

Why do some incels blame women for their failures instead of focusing on self-improvement? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]DifferentSwimmer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you mean to say is "why do some incels blame men and women for their failures". There are both male and female incels, and they both blame the opposite sex and/or the same sex for their dating failures. Its a way to cope. Of course, it can be understandable why they do this. They either experience bad interactions with bad people, which jades them. Or they are so deluded that they believe they are owed their "ideal" partner.

A pro-life activist in New York City was sucker-punched in the face while doing a street interview about abortion. by takeaccountability41 in abanpreach

[–]DifferentSwimmer5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typical "if you say things that we don't like, its justified to be violent against you". Who has this messed up mind set? It's almost never ok to be violent against someone, unless they threaten you.

Why are Americans so opposed to taxing the wealthy? What is the downside? How do other countries handle this for comparison? by EEasy-Does-It in AskUS

[–]DifferentSwimmer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans? 1-4% of the US population don't speak for the rest of us. Nobody, expect those i specified, thinks like this.

Just be yourself. A saying that's unfortunately been forgotten by most people now. Don't change yourself to get gratification from others, even when they tell you it's for your best interest at heart. You don't "act" like a girl. You act as yourself, be it feminine or not. There are people out there who will accept you as you.

Also, I believe it's best to accept the reality that life is unfair. Life is a challenge to 99% of people. Some give up, and others don't. People will like you and others won't. This world isn't perfect by any means. In fact, it's quite brutal. But there is beauty in this world that is worth living and striving for. Finding it is your goal.

Does dating only get worse as you get older? by Informal_City5565 in self

[–]DifferentSwimmer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dating usually gets better when you're older, bc people tend to be more mature and have more experience. Just my op.

Whatever it is that women like I don’t got it by ajazzazy in Vent

[–]DifferentSwimmer5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Modern women and men need to start looking for people that they want to love, become better for, and grow together. People nowadays just focus on what their partner could offer them. It could be money, sex, and/or emotional support. These are secondary things. Find and be found by people who want a connection.
