That’s not disagreeing then: “It’s not a stunt if it’s a good thing”

I disagree. Of course it’s a PR stunt

If you disagree, then why do you call it a stunt?

I’ve been boycotting CS2 (née CSGO) since November 2019 when they introduced Fortnite skins with annoying voices that you couldn’t turn off or disable.

I don’t think it has worked but I’m definitely never playing another Valve multiplayer game, they always turn out the same way.

You mean something like this? They exist, they’ve been around, for awhile actually.

The problem with them is that it is simply not easier. If you know what you want to do, it is faster to press two keys and start searching history, or just start typing and use autocomplete, than it is to move your mouse to click a square. And if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll have to do research regardless, and maybe I’m biased but I still think it is easier to copy and paste a command than it is to read the directions to get to the submenu I want, and then replicate each step in my own GUI.

Also, I don’t know, when you last used a settings app or something similar but once you‘re more than two sub pages in, you’re usually in the realm of stuff even people who use a CLI a lot would have to look up the commands

That’s just not true, at least for Windows. Many common things are hidden in window menus that can only be accessed from specific pages from the control panel, because MS never really committed to the whole Metro thing so you gotta dig around for the real stuff that hasn’t been added to the regular control panel.

Because a good UI Design makes stuff you need regularly easy accessible.

Right, but how often are UIs designed goodly? GUIs are nice, don’t get me wrong, but the simplicity of a CLI is wrongly maligned because people think it’s scary, and are in fact very easy to use if you spend the minimum necessary effort to know what you’re doing. Literally just tell the computer what you want to do

Different is not hard. Popular Linux distros have been streamlined to the point of not needing a CLI for casual use for 10+ years now anyway.

But cli you have to memorize

It literally keeps a history of everything you’ve typed in, that you can search with context clues or just look through chronologically and get the exact command you needed from last time. Seems like you’re just making excuses. Needing to look in a dozen different pages isn’t any easier than looking to see what program you need to use.

If people can do that for Windows, they can also do it for Linux

idk what is wrong with Ubuntu but autostarting applications is extremely simple. If looking online for help isn’t for a lot of people, then computers aren’t for a lot of people.

So what do those people do when their Windows machine doesn’t just work and applications require a workaround?

knowing terminal commands is neither accessible nor feasible for the average computer user

I don’t think that’s true. It’s literally just asking your computer what to do, much easier to remember than memorizing which subpage of the control panel opens the right wizard to get what you want.

I would not say equally bad, citizens are at least theoretically able to influence their government in a democratic system; you have no hope of influencing the ESRB or MPAA or CCA

Government regulations are better than companies deciding what’s allowed.

Watch them struggle without searching a forum on how to do it.

Wow, you mean someone wont know how to do something if they’ve never done it before and are forbidden from looking for help? Astounding, get a research team on this.

A normie won’t know you have to use a dash for app-get on some operating systems vs another one.

But a single search will return dozens of results of the correct answer and then they’ll know, because it isn’t actually difficult and your argument is based in “I don’t want to learn” dressed up as “it’s too hard”

Terminal is easier than Windows, if you don’t want to use it, fine, but saying it’s harder is a lie.

I’m getting so sick and tired of people who don’t even use it hating on it constantly

but it makes no digetic sense. People in real life don’t do a squat mid-air if their only intention is to step up to a higher object.

I kinda gotta disagree with this entire premise, it is very common to lift your legs up when trying to jump on something higher than your starting position.

I don’t think a mantling system is a good drop-in replacement for crouch jumping. As you say, it simplifies the movement, meaning the player will no longer have the variety of “jump, without being able to land on higher surfaces” and “jump and be able to land on higher surfaces.” I think having that extra functionality is a benefit to purposeful player movement.

It also means that they can connect other important game functionality to the Crouch button if that keybind just doesn’t do much for the intended gameplay.

What other functionality could be tied to the crouch button that is mutually exclusive with crouch jumping? Like I get some games with more movement abilities would have double jumps and air dashes, but those movements are already pretty well accounted for with the jump button and sprint button.

What’s wrong with crouch jumping?

kek

topkek, even

I saw it when I was rather young but I thought it was pretty good, apparently people thought it’s edgy.

That’s me, I’m people. Same as you, I remember watching it when I was young and thinking it was a cool mature thriller, but I rewatched it last year for the first time and I was honestly a little shocked at how edgy it seems. Like the first 30 minutes really hammer how much trauma Evan went through, and it just felt really heavy handed.

edit: to be clear I don’t hate The Butterfly Effect, I just remember distinctly thinking how edgy it was on review

I don’t know how it came about

iirc the facility that we see housing the evil iron man ripoff suits was a SpaceX facility irl

but that’s not how it is

Doesn’t mean it can’t be that way, though, One way nationalization also exists.
