You thought that statement was straight, and without any irony? And you forgot the context of your own statement of “You mean docent I presume. Universities do not exactly have teachers”? Universities definitely teach how to keep context in mind, especially when irony and satire is involved. What happened here?
Also that wasn’t my statement.
You have to know that there are multiple terms for people that teach at a university around the world, and that “docent” is not the only possible term.
Like I’ve never heard a professor referred to as a “docent” in North America. Docents here are information guides in museums and galleries.
Oh so he’s basically operating purely on alt right propaganda.
Everywhere I look in these threads I see accusations of “far-right”, “racist”, “Nazi”, “fascist”, etc, coming from people who seem to me to be in support of equally extremist views such as communism, sexual sterilization of minors, unchecked mass migration, and other objectively destructive social, political and economic views.
If that’s the kind of people you see all around you, then you’re hanging out in some extremely questionable places that the rest of us aren’t. Where are you hanging out with people who have strong opinions on sexual sterilization of minors or equivalent? What kinds of weird shit are you into?
Not all of us who work in tech are so thoroughly indoctrinated with far left ideology that we can’t see the reality on the ground in our own homelands and develop an informed opinion on it.
All of us who work in tech are more than familiar with our weird alt right coworkers who think their constant guzzling of FOX News and OANN type propaganda is “information”. You’re not special, except as gossip fodder.
Do you think just ignoring a festering fascist presence that is getting tons of funding in a community that regularly has money problems will lead to it just going away?
They would have recouped faster if they had the foresight to publish the game on PC as well as PlayStation. Kojima Productions made money on Death Stranding pretty quick because the PC sales were very good. Sony only got it from PlayStation sales.
They were almost a monopoly, Xbox was circling the drain. Sony pulled the trigger too early.
I’m not playing defense for any particular perspective, I just try to understand all sides and get other people to see different perspectives before forming their own opinions.
You’re not trying to understand all sides by telling people they should entertain far right, xenophobic, and racist perspectives while doing your best to not acknowledge that that’s what the perspective is. You’re basically trying to shame people into tolerating the intolerant by vaguely gesturing at a blunt virtue.
Don’t pretend like you’re here trying to convince someone who is against considering a stream of ontology because they prefer a different branch of it. We’re talking about not entertaining DHH’s specific values. If you can’t even admit what those values are when you’re trying to tell people they should respect them, then you must know it’s wrong.
As a rule, strong feelings about issues do not emerge from deep understanding.
Principles. Not feelings.
If you can’t argue your position without attacking a person’s character, you already lost the argument.
Is your argument on this matter your entire character? Because I clearly called your argument cowardly.
Yes, your argument was cowardly since you are actively avoiding acknowledging what specific perspective you’re playing defense for.
There’s no good reason to hold strong principles vaguely except obfuscation.
Go ahead and explain why you think far right, xenophobic, and racist perspectives need to be given a platform.
Gamergate was literally a proof of concept for MAGA because gamers are everything these groups want from a potential recruit. Just point them at a boogeyman and they’ll go apeshit.
Based on the screenshot, definitely no half-ass happening.
They’re basically filling in that market for entry level tech knowledge and enthusiasts that used to be occupied by CNET and Tom’s Hardware when written articles were king.
They redid that challenge and it went much differently. In fact, Linus may now be a Linux convert.
Wait when was the last time they were leveraged for $20B?
TotK may as well be DLC for BotW, and Windwaker would have been more similar to those titles were it not for the technical limitations of the Gamecube.
You haven’t played ToTK at all. And what is this weird statement about WW supposed to prove about how the Switch games are the worst? Are you suggesting WW would have been the “worst” Zelda game if the GC had the power of a console that came 15 years later?
This isn’t even getting into how you’re going to need to show your work for how Zelda 2, Skyward Sword, some of the mobile entries, and that CD-i game are all better games than BotW or TotK.
You’re really gonna look at all those 3DS attempts to reboot the same NES game and tell me that’s not slop?
Yes. Things aren’t “slop” just because they’re not great. Otherwise most things in existence are slop. You haven’t thought this through.
Pokémon is seeing the worst quality of the whole franchise on Switch
You don’t know much about Pokemon games if you think the recent entries are the worst received generations.
apparently Pokémon Go was just to train military robots or some shit.
Pokemon Go is notably not a Switch game.
You’re really gonna look at 3DS models in a Switch game and tell me that’s not slop, my opinion is just wrong?
Yes. An uninformed opinion that misuses terms is a wrongly derived opinion.
Smash Ultimate’s online play has 11, ELEVEN frames of input lag under ideal circumstances, the metagame has been busted since Steve, DLC characters are OP, patches were promised, then canceled, and support is over now. You’re really gonna tell me that’s acceptable, totally not slop, my opinion just sucks?
Yes, the opinion of someone who forgot about Brawl isn’t worth much.
I hope you play Switch games forever, and I hope you love it.
This does not hit the way you think it does. Most people don’t have such an irrational hatred for the Switch that they’ve convinced themselves of a lot of untruths to justify their weird hatred.
The use of superlatives on a highly subjective statement also don’t signify quality. If anything, their presence implies irrationality.
Chet Falisek has been on a crusade to have bad contrarian takes since he left Valve. His stance on Stop Killing Games was downright stupid.
You didn’t even open the link to realize it’s not an article huh
Yeah I can’t believe HN hides so many opinions it disagrees with so quickly and only encourages their predetermined values.
