People who spend 8 hours a day or more commenting on Lemmy shouldn’t be moderators. I think they have an unhealthy perspective on life and it shows.

I liked it. Unfortunately aside from valve, no serious studio has put any resources into making a good vr game.
Sitting games could be big on vr. Flight/space sims could be awesome.
Equality and equity are different, as it has been defined by various movements in the US. This definition has been adopted in mainstream usage for a while now. I’m surprised by your question, I feel this would be common knowledge to most people in western societies by this point. But I’m happy to answer if you are asking in good faith.
Equality is sort of the color-blind approach to treating people equally, with little to no regard for their race. It looks at their individual circumstances, not making broad assumptions based on their racial background. For the record, color blind doesn’t mean we dont seek to identify and correct racial issues, it just means we typically do so without creating race specific policies and instead apply the policies to everyone. My deep appreciation of equality as a fundamental principal is why I oppose equity and the strategic equivocation with which it is used.
Equity is contrasted to that by putting race front and center, and often above all else when making decisions on resource allocation. It’s how we get policies that broadly focus on racial groups. It’s not always advertised but equity is opposed to equality, so that specific races can be selected to receive benefits, or excluded from receiving benefits.
Speaking to the movement more broadly, In order to justify equity, anything that can be measured through the lens of race will be(deconstruction) and any difference in outcome will be flagged as racism, but only if white people are on the advantagous side.
Why is this bad? Don’t POCs need help?
They often do, but our racial based policies to correct them are often counterproductive, discriminatory, or even harmful. Our need based programs already disproportionately benefit them, and will continue to do so more if we bolster them. Here’s some quick examples of equitable efforts, just to give you an idea of how it manifests. These are extremely condensed, but I could pull links later if you want them.
The pursuit of “equity” is a tribalistic and often racist effort that rebuilds and reinforces the systemic racism we’ve been trying to dismantle for decades.
100% recommend a sphynx. Out of all the cats I’ve had in my life it was my favorite.
Don’t disagree but surely it’s not impossible to add some regulations to protect the consumers here.
We have always subsidized having kids over those who don’t. And honestly its the best use of our tax dollars. What do you think school is? Also, parents pay taxes before and after they raise children.
ADA lawsuits can fix that.
I’m hoping more people reply to this than one person. The whole thread only lists slay the spire and balatro.
Yeah “no” exactly… no to sharing with people who are technology illiterate, have no ethics or loyalty to keep personal information confidential. As a guy who loves to receive nudes, it’s not worth it for most women honestly.
The first point in the comic is certainly valid, giving the technical literacy of many people.
And portable cd players were rated by how well the could handle movement, which basically meant many seconds they could hold in memory to prevent skips.
if you’re not a straight, white, male, it’s acknowledging the extra hurdles of discrimination (intentional or not), and the limited access to famialial resources that you might have to overcome for which the straight white male would not
Assuming you know something about someone only due their skin color is pretty fucking racist. That includes assuming a white person has familial resources, or assuming that a non white doesn’t.
It’s odd sitting here having to explain that stereotypes are bad.
Are you implying “anti racist discrimination” is justified by your quote? I agree with your quote, but it is not supportive of Kendi’s quote in the slightest. To discriminate is to “unjustly treat categories of people”, so if someone is acting racist and you don’t tolerate them, that is not discrimination at all because you are judging them for their actions, not their looks.
Oh yeah, I was just clarifying my original position. I appreciate your insight.
“The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination”
Yeah I wasn’t talking about either scenario from a participatory POV. Moreso speaking to the general interest.
You can be interested in something without wishing for it or wanting to participate. I’m sure women who listen to serial killer podcasts don’t want to be featured in one.
QA could use some unionizing across the software/game industry imo.
It’s amazing how buggy websites of billion dollar companies are. They either don’t have a QA team or don’t prioritize any of the bugs they file. If I were still in that field I’d probably team up with some litigious ADA lawyers.
It could easily be read as sarcastic. In normal times, I don’t think that interpretation would be common, but in the internet of today, the toxicity is just so high it’s often the correct interpretation.
It takes some getting used to. And maybe looping games isn’t everyone’s cup of tea(e.g. Majora’s mask).
But the exploration, the knowlesge based progression, the cleverness of the story, and its delivery is absolutely brilliant.
