With this kind of reductionism, I wouldn’t trust your code.

Glad you understand. It’s great when people on the Internet understand that their backlash against a very popular thing doesn’t matter because the popular thing is still beloved by millions

Yeah people really need to calm their rage boners. It’s a great game.

Apparently you’re not super mad about Skyrim having bugs in 2012 because that was just so unforgivable I’m still mad about it /s

Sadly while I’m sarcastic here this is literally the truth for a lot of people. PS I played Skyrim like 200 hours and saw irritating bugs maybe like 3 times. It didn’t really bother or deter me from playing in any way.

The haters of Bethesda games clearly have never written code. What they are doing in these games is honestly mind-blowing that it could be done so well that the games are actually playable

Ok, so that is the what, but what is the why? Why the censored word? I don’t get it. Nonetheless I’m closer to getting it now so thank you for that much

In the last 10 years I have bought 95% of my games on steam and that’s far from unusual

It monopolizes PC games in America and other countries. As even the most casual observer would know. Kind of idiotic to argue against that.

It’s at the point where younger people think “pc games” is synonymous with “steam games”.

Why would you censor the word gamer? The Internet is bizarre

What planet do you live on exactly?

People love to hate on this game but I bought it months ago and played it several hours. I didn’t see any bug I found noteworthy

I made a list of the Google services I needed to replace, replaced a couple of them, but ultimately that list had dozens of items on it and I’m too tired already to complete it

It is not easy. This comment must be satire?

For example have you tried navigating in a car with a navigation app besides Maps? I don’t have an iPhone and the ones I’ve tried so far suck. I mean, I think Waze isn’t even all that good and Google owns even them now.

Who’s angry?

Your moronic ass obviously is

There’s a reason Nintendo leans hard into simple physics and extremely arcade style sports games, and it’s not just to be more accessible to casual fans. It’s because it’s literally all the hardware can do.

Yeah when they chose the type of games they’d be known for in the 80’s, it sure was specifically because their crystal ball told them:

They chose that hardware because Nvidia was offloading it dirt cheap, so they could make big margins on it.

You’re too stupid to spend another moment on

You apparently are so dense you don’t realize they intentionally chose that hardware. I’m done with your dumb ass.

Lol what a douche.

Yes in a world that expects hardware to always get better and software to always be written sloppily and/or assuming those constant improvements I guess it makes sense to be angry at one of the greatest game consoles ever created

Remember when games used a few KB of memory and they did smart things to make that work? No you probably don’t because you’d be angered by that hardware’s existence

I am just annoyed when people say the switch hardware is shit. It’s not shit, it’s just a completely different approach, that’s all. Also it’s annoying you’re using one of the shittiest ports ever to push this idea. They could have built this game from the ground up for switch and had something that looked and ran good. But that wasn’t their plan. The plan was a half assed port.

And yet Nintendo releases plenty of games on it that work fine

I’m having no issues on PC either.

I’ve not seen any performance issues or anything else I’d call for sure a bug in the few hours I’ve played…

Asus makes phones?

We know it took about 360 hours. That’s a shit load of work and it will be a daily job maintaining it. Besides that lifetime price is entirely optional

Are you me? Very close to how I would have written the exact same thoughts!

I tried a slew of lemmy apps but none were are clean and smooth as what I wanted. Connect has some rough edges but visually and features wise is closest to what I want. I’m hoping boost is very similar to how it was on reddit because it struck all the right balances for me, and felt more solid than connect. Plus the icon is way better than connect’s. :)

I tried sync and I don’t get the hype. It’s fine, I’d use it if I didn’t have other options. But for me the UI is just like 15% too busy. It’s just annoying enough to deter me from it.

“if that’s all it took”

Are you fucking insane? I’ve never worked that hard in my life and likely neither have you

I think people can handle the idea that a phone is not its operating system. It’s pretty obvious a $30 product is not equivalent to a $900 product. People have understood that since currency was invented

Not sure what Google service you mean, but RCS is also end to end encrypted

RCS is also encrypted fwiw

I mean, Google didn’t actively decide that facilitating genocide was worth the dollars it earned them 🤷

Right but it’s also owned by Facebook so it’s doubtful they aren’t using all possible means to spy on you regardless of that fact

I think part of what I’m reacting to is the “bragging to delivery” ratio. Google never brags about being the most secure OS, yet many people smarter than me point out ways it’s better than iOS.

Hmm, I’ve also heard the opposite kind of – at least from an exploit patching perspective a lot of people claim Google fixes the security holes much quicker. But admittedly I’m sure you know a lot more about this than I. I’m relying on secondhand information

I’m just going by the sustained use of “bullying”. If I had my way, I’d use signal with everyone, but I’m not going to ask 20 people to change for me whether it’s superior or not.

Besides, I am much more of an idealist than that – I see using a proprietary solution as just a bandaid even if I was up for doing the “bullying”. The real solution is a decent standard for mobile texting. I think it’s coming, largely due to the EU forcing apple to stop being annoying. In the meantime I’ll just use WhatsApp when I have to and sms otherwise. Besides, there’s usually no need for me outside of crappy photo res to use anything more than SMS, and in those cases email is easy and standard enough even for my mother.

I look forward to that standard because that would mean I can choose a better app and all my contacts can too if they choose, but it would be optional. Imo that’s absolutely the way it should be.

I think I sort of see your perspective after this last message. Thanks for sending that and not being as annoyed as a standard Redditor would have been.

It sounds like the idea of empathy is repellant to you. Bye.

At least you know you’re a bully but otherwise I can’t agree with a word of this. I’m not bullying my mom into using an app because her photos are shitty res. It’s rude and pointless. It won’t work. Also if it did I’d still be an asshole but an asshole providing tech support for a new thing. Being a bully is a bad thing fyi

You’re entirely missing the point. Communication systems ought to be standardized and mostly has been. You’re acting like you can magically install apps on your relatives and friends phones if you want to.

I have zero fear of installing incredibly custom software and honestly do so most days…

Not sure how someone this intelligent can so easily get lost on the idea that communication happens on a network, not on one device, and therefore standards help interoperability… It’s sort of bizarre

You’re right… but isn’t RCS designed to be a superset of sms, with sms being a fallback for old clients on the other end? Really I meant “there should be a standard text protocol for all devices” which is what sms was originally, it just lacked all but the most basic of features.

You just listed mostly things that already exist with sms or should exist as a standard and some of them, Google has tried with RCS but companies like apple actively refuses adoption. Yeah, you can install apps but ideally you’d not be required to, it would be a choice. Sending a text message ought to be a standard process. This is a lot of hate for the idea of standards dude.

Yeah, again you’re advocating for Google to be more like apple. The fact that shitty phones are allowed to exist is definitely a positive thing. Because that allows choice. Just do your research and don’t buy that shitty one to begin with. Unless it’s all you can afford, in which case, it probably costs less than a third of the cheapest iPhone.

You just referred to freedom as something that should be forced lol

I’m so with you. Tiny shit you take for granted on android is like pulling teeth on that bullshit OS

Passing/failing the same educational curriculum is about as close as you can get to objectively measuring “smart”, and a professor just told you they are seeing gen z fail. Not sure why that’s so easy to scoff at.
