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?

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

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.

    Haptic feedback has everyone. How does it differ in any form from other controllers.
    Pretty sure only the Switch and PS5 Controllers have something unique to vibration motors

    sugar_in_your_tea,

    I’m pretty sure they’re talking about the gyro, which Sony and Nintendo have had since the previous generation.

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    Gyro is imo a bit of a gimmick.
    Same as the adaptive triggers from the PS5 and the HD rumble from the switch and the Kinect from the Xbox 360/One.

    They are all pretty cool but how many devs will actually implement it?
    HD rumble: Sure, there are party games but those are 1st party (usually) and what purpose do they offer besides the few haptic feedbacks?
    Adaptive trigger: I see two options. Racing or Archery. Maybe the odd platformer.
    Kinect: Basically a Wiimote and a WiiFit - the scale. It had a few neat titles but basically useless unless you like the swish around in the dashboard.

    So what purpose does the gyro serves outside of more expensive hardware the majority of devs will not utilize. Am I really missing out on something?

    SatyrSack,

    Gyro aiming makes a huge difference, and as long as the OS or whatever supports it, game developers have to do nothing extra to support it.

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    I have a SteamDeck…Maybe I should try it at least.
    But I honestly can’t see myself using it with something like Halo Infinite or Doom Eternal.

    But true: If the OS does itbas a full implementation, no extra work.

    SatyrSack,

    Those are exactly the types of games that most benefit from gyro controls. You still use the right joystick to look around like normal, but then you also have gyro to make fine adjustments on top of that.

    PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

    Wrong.

    "I’ve had numerous conversations with the LT of Nintendo about tighter collaboration and feel like if any US company would have a chance with Nintendo we are probably in the best position. The unfortunate (or fortunate for Nintendo) situation is that Nintendo is sitting on a big pile of cash, they have a [board of directors] that until recently has not pushed for further increases in market growth or stock appreciation.

    “I say “until recently” as our former MS BoD member ValueAct has been heavily acquiring shares of Nintendo and I’ve kept in touch with [ValueAct CEO] Mason Morfit as he’s been acquiring. It’s likely he will be pushing for more from Nintendo stock which could create opportunities for us.

    Honestly to me the real shame is everyone’s retirement is tied up in Wallstreet, but no one is personally voting, that’s all done by investment managers. Even in the cases where people get their proxy votes, they mostly throw them away.

    Retail investment is a quarter of the market, but only 32% of retail shares had their votes cast (vs 80% for the market as a whole), and on average only 12% of a firms retail accounts vote at all.

    schema, (edited ) w $70 Mortal Kombat 1 Switch version called "robbery" as graphical comparisons flood the internet

    Imo the anger is a bit misdirected. Making a toned down version of the game takes equal the amount of resources, if not more compared to other ports. Performance wise the switch always has been a toaster, even compared to the last gen of consoles. There probably are now phones with more graphical power, so ports to hardware that is so far behind is difficult.

    I’ve ported games to switch and there is a lot of extra loops to go through to make it even remotely run at decent frame rates.

    The publisher could have made the switch version cheaper, but they probably invested more resources into it than porting it between xbox and playstation, so i can kind of understand why they didn’t.

    The argument “it looks worse so it should be cheaper” is kind of questionable, when the console they are buying it for just doesn’t allow for much better considering the art direction. If the switch was as powerful as the ps5 or current xbox, they would have made the game look as good as it is on all the other platforms.

    A valid question is if this needed a switch port at all, and considering the backlash, the publishers are probably asking themselves the same question.

    stopthatgirl7,
    !deleted7120 avatar

    Aren’t most Switch games still $60, though? Just flipping through the US E-store, the only game I saw at $70 was Tears of the Kingdom, and this version of Mortal Kombat is not going to compare favorably to that.

    roguetrick,

    Some mid level exec wants to keep his units sold spreadsheet relevant for all platforms.

    schema, (edited )

    I wouldn’t personally buy it for the switch.

    But typically publishers are not making the price on release based on what platform you run it on. It looks worse, but that isn’t really the game’s fault. It has the same amount of cost attached to it as any other port of the game, if not more. On the other hand, from the consumer perspective, I can 100% understand why someone wouldn’t want to spend $70 on this.

    In the end, will it be worth the money they put in to port this game to less-than last gen? I have no idea.

    DarkThoughts,

    The argument “it looks worse so it should be cheaper” is kind of questionable, when the console they are buying it for just doesn’t allow for much better considering the art direction.

    I disagree.
    When you have to pay the same or more for something less then that's simply not justified for the consumer. If the console can't handle anything better and is that expensive to port over, then you should simply not port your game over to it. If that's a general Switch problem, then the Switch maybe shouldn't be a thing either. I thought that's how markets are supposed to work, no?

    fushuan,

    But it’s not something less, it’s something less, in your device. That’s the distinction.

    If the console can’t handle anything better and is that expensive to port over, then you should simply not port your game over to it

    If enough people want to play it on the switch, the investment is worth it.

    I thought that’s how markets are supposed to work, no?

    Well, if it were up to you maybe, but if there’s enough people that will buy it just to play it on the switch, then the markets are working as intended.

    DarkThoughts,

    Lot's of hypothetical "ifs" there that are seemingly in direct contradiction to this topic.

    poke,

    It’s portable. That’s what you’re paying for.

    conciselyverbose,

    You can call it less because you only value graphics. Someone else can call it more because it's portable.

    Discounting the most expensive port to do doesn't make sense.

    stillwater,

    The Switch is also a whole generation older than the PS5 and latest X1 Series X (or whatever it’s really called). Important thing to factor in when understanding why the Switch port is so compromised. They aren’t scaling games down from more powerful consoles of the same generation anymore, they’re porting games from much more powerful consoles of the next generation.

    jeeva, w Alternative sources for the No Pronouns mod for Starfield

    I just cannot figure out how downloading and installing a mod is somehow less engagement with this clearly dangerous pronoun selection compared to, I assume, not moving the menu from the default, creating your character, and getting on with the game?

    Does the pronoun selector come back to haunt you during later exploration? Is it the final boss?

    As an aside, I’m genuinely a bit worried about what terrible hellscape a site named “basedmods” which is only available on some kind of onion-or-web3 routing must be. (Jokingly, as I clearly can’t resist knowing about it, does anyone have a Firefox add-on that will remove it from the websites I browse?)

    firebreathingbunny,

    HKayn,

    Apparently customization oppresses.

    firebreathingbunny,

    This mod customizes the game to remove the cultural imperialism from it. Problem?

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

    The mod doesn't work, though. I can call my male character "Silvia" (a female name). The game gives you the option to choose names that do not match what is culturally traditional.

    They should give you less options. Don't allow choosing names either.

    In fact, remove character customization entirely, then there won't be any "imperialism", right?

    I'd go further: make the game more lineal. Remove meaningful choices for the story. Do not allow the player to play in a way that might end up fitting any particular imperialistic agenda. People shouldn't have freedom to choose to follow any ideal.

    firebreathingbunny,

    Good luck with your mod.

    mephiska,

    By “principals” your really are saying bigotry. Because you are a bigot.

    firebreathingbunny, (edited )

    By principles I am really saying sanity. Biology is immutable. English grammar is a matter of established consensus. Personal pronouns are objectively wrong per both standards.

    blunderworld,

    Oh so you like Jordan Peterson, got it.

    firebreathingbunny,

    I never mentioned him once anywhere in this thread. You're hallucinating.

    blunderworld,

    Never said you did. But you’re claiming oppression over the completely optional feature of… checks notes choosing a different combination of letters. Thats the sort of pathetic mental gymnastics I expect from Peterson and his ilk. Maybe youre more of a Joe Rogan or Matt Walsh kind of guy, but its not too much of a stretch to suggest one of them is informing your dumb ass opinions.

    firebreathingbunny, (edited )

    The oppression is forcing people to accept this completely nonsensical concept as part of a mandated world view. I resist and I use my freedom of choice to mod the game so that it is no longer nonsensical.

    I do not consent. No means no. Capisce?

    breadsmasher,
    @breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

    If you’re sincerely asking,

    during character creation you select skill points, traits, a name, body type, gender etc. And a pronoun. Its literally just a menu choice in character creation.

    The only impact to the game is being referred to by your chosen pronoun.

    Its the most ridiculous thing to be seething over like OP is here

    firebreathingbunny, (edited )

    Pronouns cannot be chosen. They are determined by your sex per the rules of English grammar. It's the most ridiculous thing to be seething over objective correctness like you here.

    That’s basically how haptic feedback already works. You can play music though the dualsence/ switch vibration motors.

    I like when I mute my switch and the rumble makes the pokemon Screams.

    MrScottyTay,

    Think like Nintendo’s HD rumble. There’s certain patterns it can do that make it sound like… sound. In Golf Story for example, the hits with the club, with the hd rumble on, you can perfectly hear the skins of hitting a club even with the audio of the game down. It’s strange and great at the same time. The steam controller also used it for those turn on, turn off jingles you could have on, they also sound great.
