Yes. And the original commenter was giving his opinion. This is really not a deep or complex conversation and it’s profound that so many nerds are intending on making it one, presumably just because they at their core disagree with the guys opinion.
I mean yeah sure man if you want to make utilizing basic phrases and concepts into a “normal people vs pussies” type of dynamic where you are putting yourself in the latter camp sure dude, go ahead.
Whatever helps you
It does change. But it doesn’t change when a subjective statement is a subjective statement. “This movie is 4 out of 5 stars” “this game isn’t worth $6 or $8” are never ever going to be objective statements regardless of if it’s 1150 or 2991
I don’t ignore it. You’re just wrong lmfao. Objectively so. Not an opinion.
Goodluck out there kid. You’ll need it
Because there are multiple ways to say a particular sentence and some people opt to not use the most passive voice possible when speaking (taking an active voice).
Try it out sometime.
Yep. The intended meaning of the original comment is a subjective opinion. There is literally no way for it not to be.
Hope this cleared things up for you. Really hoping you’re not a computer programmer or like… someone who has to talk to people in your day job.
So under your grand interpretation, you should default to just saying “no, when they said that they actually meant it in the wrong way”.
You might just be too cynical and online to read man
Yes they literally did. “This is not an $8 game” means “I don’t think this game is worth $8” when talking about a game that is in the real world price at $8.
No offense, but if English isn’t your second or third language or something you might genuinely have a reading/cognition problem. This is not like a strange use of language, this is just basic sentence structure that should be easily understood by middle school. It’s like the easiest question on the SAT
No he didn’t. He said “this isn’t a $6 game, let alone an $8 game”. Both of those are subjective opinion statements. He is referring to the perceived value of the game being lower to the actual costs of the game ($6 and $8 respectively)
This is really not a difficult thing. I’m not sure why so many Lemmy users are struggling with it
One of those concepts that, despite being done a thousand times by real artists, AI just can’t really capture in a meaningful way.
It’s very bleh. It’s got the elements. Hey look it’s a big star system and there’s kind of a big squid thing out of it and a bunch of eyes placed everywhere just kind of willy nilly. But there’s something the AI fundamentally doesn’t “get” that normally makes these types of pictures feel spookier or more interesting to look at.
It’s just kind of slop. Glad that it means real artists still have a place.
Anonymous complaints are a good thing, it’s often important to be able to report something non-publicly. It’s just being exploited here.
Why do neo Nazis need to overwhelm the police system. They’re often the same guys.
I mean… most industrial machines have a stop button present on them (though not on the controller). I’m not sure that the sub having a “stop imploding” button on the inside of the hull would have done much good though
The controller is not a life support device. It’s an input device. It is designed with the express purpose as being an input device.
Again, any one million dollar “special submarine input device” they could have manufactured would be less tested and more prone to failure than a simple controller already subject to decades of research and both hands on and automated testing.
I’m not trying to be mean to you and I hope you don’t take it as such, it’s just really standard practice.
I mean. Yeah. It does. The controller didn’t fail during the submarines trip lol. It was perfectly fine the whole time.
Trying to over engineer a specific entirely new device when incredibly developed options already exist is kind of an engineering mindset failure that would only lead to more problems.
This post makes a sweeping assumption Linux users would have women flirt with them.
TL;DR nothingburger. Bureaucratic process says the DNC has to meet by a specific date, the DNC doesn’t really want to, it’s filing a waiver for a time extension that will almost absolutely get passed without issue.
Joe Biden will most definitely be on the Ohio ballot. Hes still going to lose the state, but he’ll be on the ballot
Okay, no, that’s fine. You can double down and say that you firmly believe someone saying “I don’t think this video game is worth $8” is an objective statement. Not exactly the move I would make but yunno you’ve got an uhh… interesting noggin on ya (don’t get too mad, that’s a subjective statement).

Just figured I’d share. Regardless of if you’re a big monkey island fan or not (and you should be, in my biased opinion) you’ve almost definitely played games made by people inspired by it. Good video!

Just wondering. The show seems to be in kind of an… odd state. I only watched the first episode, didn’t love it, none of my friends expressed positive feelings..
… but it’s got pretty good critical reviews, it’s getting a second season this year, and honestly it often “looks good” from promotional material.
Is it worth giving a second shot? Is anyone looking forward to the second season?
There's no one in this community yet other than me, but I just figured I'd write a short little post just to start things off.
As a big Sierra fan, especially of the Gabriel Knight (and Quest for Glory Games), I only recently found out that two novelizations were made of the Gabriel Knight series! And well, I also like to read, so I briskly read through them.
The books are Sins of the Father and The Beast within, the first two games respectively. And they're... pretty good! They're essentially a beat for beat telling of the games, with only very occasional detours to say whats on Gabriel's mind, or maybe provide just a little more context and logic to make a video game mechanic make more sense in a written narrative. If you've played the games they're also incredibly fast reads - being basic in their prose and easy to visualize from the game.
Anyway. They are a bit hard to find these days. Sins of the Father goes for $20-25 on secondhand markets, and The Beast Within often has an asking price of $70! I'm guessing the vast majority of the books are largely just seen as pulpy fiction stories to the vast majority of people, so I can imagine that they're quick to get binned and otherwise neglected.
You can still read them online quite easily, and it's well worth it if you're a fan. Might be a good replacement of replaying the games!
I only wish they had made the third game into a book - seeing that it's nearly impossible to run and experience first hand these days.
Let me know if you've read or heard of them!
