Mossy Feathers (She/Her)

Ah, yes, as someone who doesn’t believe in borders, I too hate immigrants and believe only myself am worthy of being a refugee.

I didn’t want what is happening in the US and I voted against it. We are not a monolithic, unified society.

Edit: Yep, knew it’d be unpopular. Rather than just downvoting me, though, why not tell me why you disagree?

Because I don’t even know where to start. The biggest part, I suppose, is that if you give them a space like this, it normalizes the movement. People stop feeling like there is something wrong with disliking the LGBT community, the movement grows as it is no longer stigmatized, and LGBT rights backslide.

Furthermore, holding a “hetero pride” festival during pride month is inherently bigoted as well. Pride month exists because straight people wouldn’t let gay people express themselves otherwise. Your idea isn’t totally unlike the idea of letting klansmen openly hold festivals during Black History month so they stop harassing black people.

No, I’m honestly surprised. I’ve barely heard anything about GTA VI. Seriously. I don’t care about it, none of my friends have talked about it despite being the kinda game that they’d be into, and I’ve only seen one or two articles on it.

You sure it’s that highly anticipated? My observation is that people have gotten really sick and tired of AAA games, and this is a shift that’s occurred since RDR2 came out. Very few of the people I know still regularly play AAA games, and those who do almost never buy them on launch. I haven’t seen anywhere near the same amount of hype for GTA VI as I saw for GTA IV or GTA V.

You’re accusing me of being disingenuous? Maybe you’re the one who’s buying into the hype and overestimating public interest. Or perhaps the true answer is somewhere in the middle. Who knows. I was not intentionally downplaying your favorite series though.

Wait, do people still get excited for GTA? I thought GTA V online killed a lot of goodwill for the series.

Same. I just can’t imagine using anything other than Linux for this kinda handheld. Like, I’m mainly a Windows user and I can’t imagine trying to use windows on my steam deck. When you want to make a gaming-focueed handheld like this, you want as much performance as you can squeeze out of the hardware. You’re not doing that with windows.

Why in gods name would a game remove trading after it’d been around for a while?

I don’t play rocket league, so I don’t know how good psyonix is with the community, but from the article it makes it sound like this was entirely epic’s decision. Sure, every game is going to wax and wane in popularity, so he would have had to find another source of income eventually; but he wasn’t afforded the luxury of having time to pivot when the site’s revenue started dropping too low because the rug got pulled out from under him. He was given the impression by psyonix that they liked his site by giving him an in-game flag and (it sounds like) special API access, and now they’re suddenly cutting ties to him.
