Deadlock isn’t as bad but god, the amount of racist, bigoted, and straight up fucked up things people have said are tiring and enough for me to never want to be on a mic

There’s only so many times you bother listening to someone yelling at their teammates, throwing out slurs, or even telling people

Before you just start considering perma muting everyone

I presume it’s due to African American Vernacular English (AAVE), there is a cultural aspect there that is detectable through voice

I’m just really tired of telling people about the obvious, and every time history keeps repeating

I don’t believe it’s just convenience, it’s as you said, people don’t care about the long term. In anything.

A big corporate platform (or whatever else, like, say, oil companies vs climate protesters) will always have more resources, whether it’s for development or marketing, so people will always have to be a bit willing to not have full convenience for a better world

If we don’t think about the long term, what are we even thinking of instead?

That’s the ironic thing about it. Because they’re so safe it becomes completely bland… basically all bit ensuring it won’t be as successfully anyway

They’re being so safe it’s unsafe

I mean, the thing that people watch twitch for is mainly the person/people on the stream, the game is a backdrop, rarely the actual focus

And not everyone is ego-centric like you’re saying? I mean, there’s literally tens of thousands of streamers. Don’t just look at the biggest ones that probably mainly appeal to kids, i.e. a different audience than you. Chances are the kind of people you would enjoy watching are just smaller and more niche

Okay then, hope people won’t complain when things go to shit again

Just forever on march towards the inevitable due to convenience

It could also be built-up stress or a variety of other disorders, or a culmination of things

Then again, discord is not outright fascist. Yes it’s a shitty company, but shitty companies are the standard

Twitter though? I feel as if a lot more people could go “if you want to ever talk with me again, go here” and people would follow. It’s a bit harder to argue for staying on twitter when all of this shit is going on

Then again, a lot of my friends are still on twitter despite me telling how fucking dangerous that site is now, so eh. I don’t really get it, though. Then again, I have little sympathy for people who complain that something is too complex just because it doesn’t do literally everything for you. A lot of people are just addicted to convenience, despite it harming them in the long run

I think if humanity is on the stage of transmitting human knowledge throughout the galaxy today’s technology would be the equivalent of how we look at the first steam engine today

When people get scammed in traditional currency, you can revert the transaction. You cannot revert anything with blockchain, and that’s a feature, which means if you get scammed out of your bitcoin, there’s nothing you can do. That money is lost, and the scammer keeps it.

Well, sure, now you have a currency that doesn’t rely on trust

…now what? How are you going to spend that currency if you don’t trust anyone? How will you ensure you get what you bought? How will your property get protected? Hell, how do you get others to agree that your crypto is the one they should use?

It’s trust all the way down. Removing it from one small part of the chain isn’t going to fundamentally change things

Yep, with the re-election on trump, USA just took a big leap towards the dystopia of 1984

You know, I think it’s interesting how this used to be considered the nutjob’s territory just a bit over 10 years ago. And now, at least for the USA, this might be the thing that keeps you out of jail.

It’s kinda frightening

Not a universal rule, however. Theres the whole concept of “optimizing yourself out of the fun” and what not in video games. Or the hardships being part of what makes a game fulfilling. It depends on what your goal is

And this is why every hermit that people claim is so wise is always pissed when people come to them

They put in as much effort as possible to get as far away as possible and yet…

What about the publisher take two tho

Pretty much

The big difference is that the DayZ standalone title was controlled by Bohemia Interactive, Rocketwerkz meanwhile is Dean’s studio.

I mean, I get that I don’t have an insider view or anything, but Rocketwerkz has proven itself reliable

In addition, DayZ is like a decade or more old, even in the worst case things might just change

They are also incredibly transparent on the discord. Feel free to join it if you want more information about the game and chat with the devs
