averyminya, do gaming w Valve just pulled a Blizzard and seems to have gotten away with it.

I think people’s issue with OW2 replacing OW wasn’t the inability to get into the old game, it was the irrevocable changes. Like, I think there is more issue with the changes to free loot crates and characters than “but my OW1!”

From my understanding, CS2 doesn’t have glaring changes like this.

However, to your point for new games replacing old ones - I’m conflicted. On one hand, there’s little point booting up Star Wars Battlefront 1 by EA, but it would definitely have been shitty if EA had replaced it with BF2.

But as someone else mentioned, you can also still boot into CS:GO. So if the issue is wanting to play with friends, that should still be possible. It comes down to how it’s done I guess.

Thinking about it, it only seems like some IP’s can really do this anyway. Battlefield probably can’t, unless they decide to stop using themes for the games. Battlefield 1 just can’t exist in Battlefield 5. Call of Duty could probably find a way to accomplish it though.

Blizzard didn’t do the exact same thing.

Blizard took a paid for game with fair microtransactions and transformed it into a predatory free to play game with an unfair battlepass.

Reception to OW2 would have been better if they kept the freely dropped lootboxes and gave some more compensation to the people that bought the game. Also if they didn’t leave the game to dry for several years on an empty promise.

If CS:GO was preserved as a beta version in the game's properties that would be great. Apparently they are doing that now with some sort of replay player version but it's broken?

forgotaboutlaye, do gaming w Payday 3. I knew it...

This is really sad to see -- I absolutely loved PD2 at release. It's some of the most fun co-op moments I've ever had in a game (maybe even the best).

I also played the beta and enjoyed the refined experience, but have still been working through BG3 and Starfield, so I decided to hold off on playing. Was hoping for a smooth release for everyone excited to play the game, so it's disappointing to see how terrible the experience has been at launch.

This is the first I’m hearing of it and I’m so confused. Is this just at character creation? Why was it removed?

Is this mod for people who are triggered because the field isn’t free form and the only choices are he/she/they? Or people who are triggered because the sheer existence of a they option is an anathema to their existence?

Even the argument in the comments is so vague it sheds no light.

People triggered because of a they option in character creation. Basically, for folks like this dude.

Thanks for clarifying.

Awkwardparticle,

There is a prominent movement where people don't want to see LGBTQA+ people anywhere. They don't want queer people to exist in their world. It makes them very mad to be exposed to the existence of LGBTQA+ people.
I personally think that they are just some queer people in denial, thinking they are going to catch the gay. Those gay thoughts aren't going to go away for these people no matter how they cater their reality.

Melkath,

Put that makeup on my face.

I 100% have earned it.

@jeremy_sylvis@midwest.social avatar

My local friend group is right there with you. You’d think we’d have learned from the open beta…

Melkath,

I bought the whole season pass thing

Didn't get to pay on release day.

Complete abject failure on the part of the developers. I hope they are feeling the shame.

It's hope money though. I hope they sort their shit out and give us a good game.

Can you go into more detail?

Melkath,

I have been sitting in matchmaking for over 3 hours at this point.

Looks like big streamers can access the game just fine, but I get spinning wheel that is occasionally punctuated with getting an error message and kicked out of the game.

The beta was like a week and a half ago, and matchmaking was crumbling under the small organized stress test. I KNEW that once the open internet hit the matchmaker the whole thing was going to implode.

Truly a pathetic mod for pathetic people

firebreathingbunny,

Why do you care? How does it affect you? Do you comment on every mod that doesn't appeal to you and that you don't intend to use?

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@kbin.social avatar

If that's your argument, why do you care about the choice of pronouns? How does it affect you?

firebreathingbunny,

It's not an argument. It's a series of questions that you failed to answer.

blunderworld,

Same arguments people use when pronouns are important to them. Guess were not so different after all!

firebreathingbunny,

It's not the same argument because I have answers for the personal pronoun pushers but you people have no answers for me.

Everblue, do gaming w I have two old Mass Effect 2 Editions in my Steam and don't know the difference

Top review on the 2nd version you posted says this:

“For some reason, EA delisted the original version of Mass Effect 2 on Steam and replaced it with a newer version that seems identical in everything except two aspects. Firstly, it now includes all DLC, which previously required you to buy them on the EA launcher and then manually download and transfer them to the Steam version. This process was not intuitive, but now it’s all included at no additional cost and hassle-free. Secondly, it now requires the EA launcher, which is annoying but not a huge deal in the end. However, it does create a situation where we have two nearly identical versions of the game in our libraries, which is a bit odd. I suppose this could’ve been an update instead.”

Thank you everyone to lighten me up. Now I understand. While the newer version have all DLCs included, it requires the launcher now? The older version didn't use the launcher, when I understand the comment correctly. So when I play the game, I probably would play the oldest without DLCs, but also not relying on an additional EA launcher.

The right calls people snowflakes and then loses their mind when someone offers an option for pronouns. An option. You can still pick cis pronouns. Gtf outta here.

firebreathingbunny,

You are currently losing your mind because I ordetred an option to take out the trash.

WTF is wrong with you people? All this effort just to be a dick.

Kyyrypyy,

Maybe it’s some sort of mental gymnastics that “If you can’t get some dick, you must become a dick”.

firebreathingbunny,

Playing a single-player game the way I want is being a dick how exactly.

mephiska,

You’re so triggered by pronouns that you actively seek out a mod to remove them. You can fuck right off you bigot.

firebreathingbunny, (edited )

I'm simply removing objectively incorrect content. There is no such thing as personal pronouns, and with a simple mod, they are easily removed like any bug in any program. Problem?

@snooggums@kbin.social avatar

So in a game with faster than light travel you want realism from some optional character creation choices?

HAHAHAHAHAHA LOSER

My fucking sides, you bigots are hilarious(ly wrong about everything).

I don’t get how this lets you play a game the way you want? It takes out an option in a drop down that you wouldn’t use in the first place? It’s like me removing the colour blind option in a game, when I’m not colour blind. Just don’t use it if you don’t need it.

firebreathingbunny,

The option itself doesn't exist in reality. Biology and English grammar are crystal clear on this. The presence of the option in the game is itself wrong. The mod corrects this mistake.

Mirodir,

Not that I agree with your point in the first place, but I hope you’re also modding out FTL travel then.

firebreathingbunny, (edited )

That's theoretically possible through wormholes. We just don't know the exact mechanism yet.

Unaware7013,

says wormholes are theoretically possible but we don't know how they work

incorrectly claims biology and English don't allow personal gender pronouns opposite from sex despite ample evidence to the contrary.

firebreathingbunny, (edited )

Feel free to study any actually published biology or English textbook. You won't find this nonsense anywhere in them. You're just ignorant. You need to go back to school.

Unaware7013,

Lol, you don't even know what personal pronouns are, why would I listen to you about anything?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_pronoun

You're just ignorant. You need to go back to school.

Keep looking into that mirror.

firebreathingbunny,

Listen to settled science and consensus English grammar, as published in textbooks. You're wrong per both standards.

Unaware7013,

I do, and you should too. Because you're entirely wrong about everything. Like, you're arguing that personal pronouns don't exist while using them and calling others stupid.

As much fun as it is arguing with the confidently ignorant, I have better things to do today. Like maybe watch paint dry. It would definitely be a better use of my time than reading objectively incorrect and bigoted REEEEEEEEing about biological and grammatical concepts that you don't have the slightest understanding of.

Ferk,
@Ferk@kbin.social avatar

But that's not what you are doing. You don't need this mod to make the choice that allows you to play the way you want.

I mean, I have no problem with modding anything anyway (in fact I believe it was wrong for Nexus to remove the mod, the only thing it did is making certain kind of obstinate people go into a silly crusade to defend a silly mod). But this mod is objectively removing options, not adding them.

firebreathingbunny,

There is no such thing as a choice of personal pronouns. The concept doesn't exist in biology and English grammar. The so-called feature is a bug.

Ferk, (edited )
@Ferk@kbin.social avatar

This has nothing to do with biology, it's 100% English grammar. Biology books are not the ones explaining what's a "pronoun". In fact, many languages don't even have pronouns, and yet their biology books can perfectly be translated.

English grammar is constantly evolving. In fact, it would make it a lot more realistic if there were more strange expressions and mannerisms, even outside of pronouns. Battlestar Galactica did add some funny nonsensical expressions like "frak", "rook", "frimp", "pogees" and popular phrases like "so say we all" that added a layer of depth to their futuristic culture, making it a lot more believable.

I don't think this mod really helps with "realism". It would in fact be unrealistic to expect no linguistic changes at all in 300 years. The only reason why I think some people are mad is because they think it's pandering to a political agenda so they don't even want to see an option be given at all.... despite it actually being a totally optional and even totally believable aspect of a future hypothetical culture. Whether you agree with the direction that this hypothetical futuristic culture developed towards or not.

firebreathingbunny, (edited )

It has to do with both. In consensus English grammar, your pronoun is assigned to your per your sex. Billions speak English this way and they will not change because a handful of sexual degenerates tell them to. This is not up for debate.

UnRelatedBurner, do games w Alternative sources for the No Pronouns mod for Starfield

I hate how the very few fighting back this bullshit get’s handled. Def saved if I ever play this game

Linkandluke,

In all seriousness, why? You can just leave the default value and be referred to as your preferred pronouns. You can literally do nothing and get exactly what you want. What’s the point in going out of your way to install a mod to effectively do nothing?

firebreathingbunny, (edited )

There is no such thing as a preferred pronoun. It is nonsense. Out it goes.
