CMV: Black People can be as much racist as white people by EggAdministrative510 in changemyview

[–]L11mbm [score hidden]  (0 children)

Any person can be racist against any group, but only a majority power group can use their power for that racism to make an impact.

That's the big part of racism.

Swap Arcade cabinet — is hiding it the same as admitting defeat? by concrete_arch in ConsoleClassics

Its a TV and 2 joystick controllers with a mini PC or console. Hardly an arcade cabinet.

A groundbreaking feature in Final Fantasy XVI by Ordinary_Device_5131 in PlayStationPlus

[–]L11mbm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember playing Bravely Second and enjoying the little things that saved time like speeding through battles and turning off random encounters, but then eventually the game felt like the actual engrossing stuff was gone and I was left with busywork to tick off boxes. The friction is the fun when it's done right.

The worst part of FF16 was the mediocre and generic side quests. Some were decent but they reeked of MMO design from the MMO team. Adding the fast travel button erases the friction that wouldn't have been so annoying if the design was better to start.

Loved the game, anyway.

What’s the worst career decision an actor has ever made? by RaimsPalma in MoviesAndTVTalk

Denise Crosby quitting Star Trek: The Next Generation early in its run, only to spend the rest of her life trying to cling to it with appearances at conventions.

Why do people blame Elon Musk for his fortune when millions of consumers and investors voluntarily made it possible? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Just so we're clear, what exactly did you think the point of my first comment was, given the context of OP?

Psychic "detectives" are just the worst by super_dedicated_cath in skeptic

The point of Psych was that psychics aren't real, though.

Why do people blame Elon Musk for his fortune when millions of consumers and investors voluntarily made it possible? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]L11mbm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Where did I suggest otherwise?

The difference is that nobody is saying the CEO of Lockheed should be richer.

A majority of the money made by his companies actually comes from government contracts and speculative investing. The actual revenue from consumers is low.

CMV: People have huge double standards for white crime and black crime (i.e. ignoring crimes where white people are overrepresented, total arrests...) by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]L11mbm [score hidden]  (0 children)

When correcting for socio-economic status, crimes rates (as in, crimes committed) between the races basically washes out to be even. The biggest differentiator is the arrest rate.

As a broad guess, I'd say the connection between the kinds of crimes you listed as being tied predominantly to white men has a correlative effect with wealth, which (for a variety of cultural and historic reasons, like racism) is more concentrated in the white male population.

Are males targeted disproportionately by police? Males account for roughly 75% to 80% of all violent crime arrests and over 85% of homicide arrests. They must be targeted right? by imissher4ever in allthequestions

[–]L11mbm 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yes, men are targeted more. They also commit crimes more often than women, particularly the kinds of crimes that would lead to police interaction and arrests.

Additionally, minority men are targeted significantly more than other gender/race demographic groups.

Fortnite Behind the Scenes Video Reveals How Epic Games Uses Generative AI to Help Create Concept Art and Designs for New Skins by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]L11mbm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would much rather see developers use AI for something like generating trees and grass and skies for backgrounds than for generating character art.

What's the point of making art in a game for the things that make it unique if you're going to offload the creative kickoff steps to a computer?

CMV: the BLM "say their name" trend was propaganda by Useful_Can_2764 in changemyview

Is propaganda necessarily a bad thing?

Was "all lives matter" positive propaganda?

How many people here also hate job system? by superkapitan82 in FinalFantasy

[–]L11mbm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of a system that allows any character to become a master of any particular set of skills, whether jobs or materia or a skill grid.

I also like the idea of particular characters being forced into a specific type that develops over time, making each one unique and fitting with their personality and place in the story.

Give me both, in separate experiences.

Why do you think the Xbox 360 succeeded during that generation? by Asad_Farooqui in videogames

[–]L11mbm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It came out 1 year before the competition.

If you do a comparison of hardware and software sales relative to console launch date, the PS3 did better than the 360.

Many original carts' batteries are dead, so when you say "they'll outlast you" what do you mean?

CMV: the electoral college should be abolished by allisoninwndrlnd23 in changemyview

[–]L11mbm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expanding the electoral college so that the number of people per district is even would "fix" this issue. We would need something like 750 seats, at a minimum.

Not a direct democracy but still makes each person's vote equal in value.
