Yes, and since you didn’t read the entire text, you’re also not responding to what I actually said. If you want to talk fantasy, I’ll give you two glaring examples of wokeness ruining storytelling that have nothing to do with skin colour, because clearly that’s becoming a red herring. In...

I got Mass Effect Legendary Edition for free on an Amazon Prime giveaway in 2022, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Great freebie though. Thanks, Jeff!

I'm not hung up on anything. I can see you haven't read anything I've said earlier either. If you want to keep arguing with yourself, go ahead I suppose.

I'll spell it out for you: Him: M76 said: It's the easiest thing ever: Demanding for a certain group to be more represented for no particular reason, not because it better serves the story or the setting just for its own sake. That is woke. A minority group existing organically in a story in...

No one said that. The guy you're responding to didn't say that. As a matter of fact, he said the opposite of that. Respectfully, I'm not quite sure who you're arguing with.

Not only that, it literally says in the screenshot you can turn off all of the woke stuff if you don't want it. So they gave the player the choice, and no one complained. The five players that desperately wanted to set their pronouns as "they/them" were satisfied, and everyone else was...

Having LGBTQ+ characters doesn't itself constitute woke. There's a marked difference between having a character that's gay, and having to sit through a lecture on non-binary they/them pronouns like in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Woke developers focus on "the message" first, and the story...

The team that made it one of the all time greats is long gone. We should be cheering the closure of studios that are so far beyond what they once were and have no idea what their core customer wants because it will hopefully incite the management of other studios to do a post-mortem and say...

I wouldn't compare BioWare to Ferrari. I would compare BioWare to Jaguar circa 2024 "Copy Nothing" ad campaign, where Jaguar's customers were left looking at the "new image" the company was trying to push and collectively said "WTF are you doing to that brand? Who is this for?".

Everyone likes to blame investors, but investors don’t shut down profitable enterprises. Saudi Arabia didn’t kill BioWare. Not delivering what the customer wants killed BioWare. EA corporate no doubt had something to do with their inability to do so as well. The guys who made BioWare great are...

Linux's decentralized open-source nature is both it's biggest asset and its biggest weakness for various reasons. Windows will continue to dominate the corporate landscape because it's "one ass to kick" for corporate managers and many people are trained to use it, but MS is doing a lot of...

I joked with my fellow 90s tech buddies my son will be the Linux guy at his highschool since that’s what I’ve started him on. In any case, I’m extremely satisfied with it from my experience. Windows 11 is still on my daily driver because I need it for multiplayer gaming, but as someone who...

Depends on what you want to do with it. My son’s using my old 1070Ti. Runs great for what he does at 1440p. Also, the reason AMD is so far ahead is because companies like Valve were using their APUs so they needed to make sure they could squeeze enough performance out of it. There are people...

This thread completely blew this meme away:

I built a PC with my oldest son (7 years old) earlier this year (thank the Lord for spare parts!) and installed Bazzite on it. It's incredibly easy to use and responsive. He's using it primarily for gaming at this point, had zero issues so far. Interface is intuitive and easy enough for a 7...
