Manhattan from TMNT Trouble in Mahattan on the NES.

Ty, wasn’t expecting a reply after this time, but that is very good to know.

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?

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.

Uhh, Mostly because the graph already shows lamb and mutton to be half the impact as beef.

Genuinely, thank you for sharing. That’s an interesting takeaway and a little different than mine. What do you think matters more the ethics of destroying/replacing the system vs the ethics of negatively affecting/interfereing with those in the system? Example: Would it be ethical to kill/euthanize all the cows in a cramped feedlot along with whoever is in charge so it wouldn’t happen again?

I predict goat and sheep cheese is better than cow cheese in emissions, but is it about the same 10:1 ratio for output?

Ok, sure. Tangentally related, have you seen the ending to the show The Good Place?

Ty. I guess OP could be hinting at that. I don’t pick up on hints very well, and thought they were saying the news should also report about vehicle accident and death rates sometime.

I mean, how many times have we seen news reports of people intentially driving into protesters? I do wish they had the leading cause of death for comparison tho. Probably cancer, looks like a low-estimate is 6000 people a year just in Chicago.

Are you saying that OP is making a “cheap false equivalence”? They are commenting on news coverage, so I don’t follow what you mean.

That doesn’t make the comparison invalid, it can just be misleading to those with poor data literacy. Knowing how many “preventable” deaths from each source is valuable, but only if people are planning to do something about it.

Got it. Like Rattatouie Rat said, “change is nature, dad.”

And you are more than likely to never play with the same people ever again forever. No community building, only community destruction.

Got it. Rykard (Sony) Lord of Blasphemy is trying to devour Godwin (Kadokawa) Scion of the Golden Lineage. It’s even lore accurate, let’s hope it stops before the Night of Black Knives.

Ohh, that and local proximity chat or server chat is a touchy subject these days. I’d love to see more communication in games. The recent ping systems have been a good start, but having more character eexpression like in Mordhau or Chivalry 2 would be nice. Make your characters say things in R6 Siege would be particularly interesting.
