Well, it requires one because the producer said so, not because the game can't function otherwise. That's what makes it half-correct.

Having the "server" locally hosted on your device would fix it, but they just let it die without allowing those who purchased the game to be capable of playing it. That's the big push behind this movement, not online only multiplayer games. Everyone knows those die eventually.

You misunderstand me. It wasn't out of consideration for you; it's just a vote. I just want to remind myself that the person I want to be doesn't make snap judgements on half of a hot take. There hasn't been enough substance to affect me. You don't have to answer my original question, but I am still curious.

It‘s not about games that never need an internet connection

That is half correct. The big point is for games that are singleplayer that you pay up front for that require a internet connection for no good reason.

VideogameRoss is a youtube guy who really pioneered this whole movement. He has a series devoted to really old niche games that is really interesting (Ross' Game Dungeon). I'd highly reccomend looking into his standard content and the don't kill games afterward.

Edit: Also his voiceover halflife series is likely the best protagonist commentary series ever.

I'm actually going to remove my downvote and reserve judgement until a response.

What games do you play, and what games do you think this movement is targeting?

Heh. Moon Well. Warcraft 3 player.

Oh, look. A personal attack without contributing more to the discussion. The exact thing you complained about happening to you. Wooooooow

Empathy =/= White-Knight anger. You're only demonstrating the latter, not that you necessarily lack the former.

Yeah, it's been pretty clear who has directly and intentionally caused more instability and human rights violations. Geneva just wants to keep hating on 'Bama. They may feel stuck in the past, idk.

Everyone deserves to be represented. Honest disagreements and discourse leads to good things. May you avoid bad actors in your interactions. 🙏

Yeah, noone can say if you're racist or not just from this. You do have some sort of hate-boner for Obama though. I don't know what he did to personally hurt you, but I hope you eventually heal from it.

I don't think America has had a morally good president in a very long time. Since sometime before Regan. I enjoyed the sense of stability that Obama brought to the people and nation. I view him as doing a decent job overall and if we want to point fingers, the Senate is who really failed the American people that cycle; Mitch McConnell in particular.

Those seem like some major contradictions of the concept of liberty. Ty for the book reccomendation.

Oh, I hope that didn't come across as a trap question, sorry if it did. I don't know the exact right answer myself.

I guess my thoughts on the "too hard" statement comes from the feeling of fighting for every inch I can get against the hyper-sucessful businesses creating the gross system I'm forced to be in. People's basic needs are not taken care of and mental health is in crisis. I find it hard to justify judging people based on anything other than how they handle directly interacting with something or someone. After all, I buy local as much as reasonably possible and have reduced the meat consuption for my family, but sometimes I'm just exhausted and get a burger because I've been craving one all week. Those in power need to enforce moral imperatives on others in power before I focus on individuals.

I am glad to read that last part. Not enough small changes are celebrated and encouragement goes so much further than criticism. Especially when it's in such short supply.

Got it, ty.

By personal freedoms I mean that you should be allowed to persue the lifestyle you want to live as long as it doesn't directly infringe on others living the life they want. I don't care what substances someone wants to use in their own home. Heroin and other hard drug possesion is up to that person and shouldn't be a crime in and of itself. Similarly you can have whatever oversived monstertruck you want that's unliscensed, but it should only be allowed on property you own, not public space and it can't overstep reasonable noise limits if you have neighbors closeby. Don't want to vaccinate your kids, you're a neglectful dipshit parent, but it shouldn't be illegal (as much as I wish it would be mandatory). The child shouldn't be allowed at any school, daycare, or public setting due to health risks for everyone who does vaccinate.

Rights should include food, water, books, internet, public transit, legal representation, and some form of shelter even if it's just a cheap pod hotel. I also think it is rediculous to punish someone for public urination if there are no public restrooms reguardless of the individuals intentions, so I guess bathrooms or port-a-potties also need to be available.
