100% agree that we should use the term with caution and precision. That said, Israel is committing a genocide.

me being told to grow up by another lemmy user is literally 1984 guys

Good thing you can have the right economic politics at the same time as being queer. Young people identifying as LGBT does nothing to detract from their other left-wing views.

Genuinely hard to tell if a joke sometimes

Certainly if the developers of those games have the time and resources to invest into it, they can make an easy mode. Not every studio does though. For games intended to be difficult though, they should be balanced around a difficult normal mode, and that doesn't necessarily mean everyone can beat it.

I like when games are difficult. I don't think every game needs to be so easy every gamer can beat it.

I ride a bike to work every day. I'm never sweaty. The infrastructure to cycle exists so I won't get run over by cars.

If you get it, purge and update your cache. It still works.

It's fine if you disagree with their design philosophy. They don't want 8 extra plants made by an intern in their game though and that's their prerogative.

Apart from a period where Mojang added useless creatures like the polar bear, it's not comparable. The vast majority of things Mojang adds, they try to add a unique slant that makes the addition relevant in some way. Mo Creatures mobs are almost all useless apart from looking different. The sniffer has unique mechanics, adding 500 plants would not make it any more mechanically interesting. They're not looking to drown the game in retextures.

That would be a much better comparison if it was artificial intelligence, but these are just reinforcement learning models. They do not get inspired.

I'm so happy this is becoming more mainstream. Huge props to people like NotJustBikes for such effective propagandizing.
