    Let's discuss: Uplifting Games
  • Wandersong: that game has so much character, it’s insane. The game can feel very emotional without heavy themes, idk how it did it.

    Abortion.
  • It does matter, you’re assuming that they surveyed equal number of men and women, but I don’t see anywhere on that site that indicates that. Example in which op could be correct along with the statistics from (or close enough because I am on my phone and can’t get too complicated). Let’s create our dataset that could fit both results, let’s say they surveyed 100 people, 74 men and 26 women. From that 36 people are against abortion, 28 men and 8 women. So 36% of people surveyed are against abortion( This part matches the overall %s from the survey). Those 28men make up 78% of the people against abortion (this part matches OP). If we calculate them within each gender, 38% of the men are against abortion and 29% of women are against abortion (numbers got a little different here, but it’s close to the survey results). I am assuming that they didn’t have equal number of men and women, that’s why they stayed away from that calculation.

    What are some popular criticisms you see about any show/movie/videogame that you strongly disagree or you just don’t think it’s really a bad thing?
  • So much this! It’s hard to argue against qol stuff, hard to explain why Dark Souls doesn’t need difficulty settings, new Zelda games degradation system is reasonable, RE games with no moving while shooting adds to the immersion, monsters in monster Hunter don’t need a health bar etc

  • You know what, this is the first time I realized this even though it should be obvious. It makes so much more sense now.

  • Whenever certain keys words are thrown around to criticize something, you bet it’s actually not as bad as everyone is making it out to be. I went through the entirety of The Last Us Part II and she-hulk just because of the hate, and boy was the hate overblown.

    Study shows number of female Switch players has nearly doubled in five years
  • I feel like that’s a non-news then. I bet the same can be said for ps5 and every other console where the overall sales more than doubled in 5-year span. What IS news though is that 47% of switch players are female, I wonder how that compares to other consoles.

  • Example; the Legend of Zelda: BotW and TotK weapon degradation system. At first I was annoyed at it, but once I stopped caring about my “favorite weapon” I really started to enjoy the system. I think it lends really well to the sandbox nature of the game and it itches that resourcefulness nature inside me.

    PC Gamer: The top 100 PC games

  • Hi everyone, I am building a mini-ITX based pc and the motherboard I bought is Asrock B650I, which has one m.2 PCIe slot in the front and one in the back. The issue is that the back one is obviously a weird spot, that ssd will have to be the ssd that just stays there forever if I don’t want to remove the whole motherboard for it. Just needed your suggestion on which ssd you would put in the back, The 1TB WD_Black or The 2tb MSI. The back would likely not fit a heat sink.

    I am making my way through Yakuza series right now and while playing 5 I realized that I am not that invested into the game’s combat, so I turned it to easy and that just streamlined the combat so much for me. I would recommend to maybe try Yakuza 0 on normal at first and then just switch it to easy if you feel like the gameplay might be dragging on.

    I like to keep track of my games that I have completed, with most of the games it is pretty easy. When the credits roll, I consider them beat, there are a few exceptions of course like Nier, Resident Evil 2 etc. What I struggle with are fighting, racing games and 4x games. I enjoy these genres, but I don’t know what is “satisfactory” amount that would make me think that I played these games to completion.

    Some examples:

    • Guilty Gear Strive (or any fighting games that are not Mortal Kombat, injustice or SF6)
    • Civilization 6
    • Project Cars

    I’m currently playing Xenoblade Chronicles and I also played Final Fantasy remake and Golden Sun recently and all of them have wildly different combats. Which got me thinking what JRPG out there had the best combat? This doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily your favorite JRPG as well.

    My favorite is Persona 5. I just love figuring out what the weakness of the enemy may be and making sure to arrange my party in such a way that I can handle most combats very easily.

    This is not to say that seasons after the first one are bad, but sometimes I feel as though later seasons exist because of the show’s popularity and not because the creator had more to say (The Last of Us, even though I love Part II). Also, it’s okay to have an open-ended ending with loose ends, leave it to our imagination on what’s going to happen next (Westworld).

    Hi everyone,

    I am holding a fun little tournament locally and letting the community vote for game in each category. So far we did 3d fighter, platformer fighters and traditional 2d fighter. For the next category I’m thinking about doing wrestling style games and so far I can only think of Fire Pro Wrestling, Gang Beasts and WWE 2k. I can use some more suggestions here. The game should be playable on PS5, Xbox series or switch. I also have an Nvidia shield pro, I have never played anything on it, but I’m willing to try some emulation options if needed.

    Thank you in advance!

    I had this shower thought earlier and I actually wanted to post it in that community. The name I came up with was SmartWalkman, but later I realized that Walkman is Sony specific, so I doubt other companies would’ve gone for that name, but I didn’t want to let this shower thought slip so here I am now asking you guys.

    Hi Everyone,

    First time poster here. I was wondering if the sound quality of my PC can go to the next level with some minor purchases.

    My current setup: Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk Headphones: Philips Fidelio X1S

    I was looking to get an external DAC/AMP combo, but wasn’t sure if it’s worth it.

    Thank you to everyone in advance
