If dial gauges weren't what you chuckleheads grew up with (I'm 38 so I understand the nostalgia) you'd realize they aren't really all that well designed.

That's not actually true, studies show that analog dials (or digital imitations) are better than regular numbers or bars as speed displays.

The thing about analog dials is that they offer a lower mental load than a simple number. Seeing the dial move is a better indication of speed change than a number changing, and the "wasted" space in the dial offers a comparative idea of how fast you're going.

The human brain is just much better at perceiving relative changes than absolute ones. Seeing a 20 rise to 80 doesn't convey as much info as seeing a dial in the bottom rise to the middle.

I want my average speed, instantaneous speed, average miles per gallon, instantaneous miles per gallon, range, engine temperature, music track, outside temperature, inside temperature, tire pressure, time, vehicle orientation, all at once. They're normally all available, but hidden in different menus and screens.

The reason this information isn't readily available is probably because putting more information only serves to increase the mental load on the driver which might cause distractions, and consequently, more accidents.

The fact that FIDE still enforces women's chess is a glaring example.

There is no man's chess, you know? Women can and do participate in open tournaments against men.

Woman's chess is a DEI program to incentivize woman's participation in chess in a more inclusive environment, because, surprise surprise, chess has a misogyny problem. You can argue that this doesn't work or something, but it definitely isn't there to protect men's egos (especially considering titles acquired in women's chess tournaments are worth less than regular titles).

That's because conservatives are very individualistic for whatever reason. Instead of seeing systemic issues they see bad apples.

They don't see health insurance as a flawed concept that is made to exploit them, they see it as a system that got corrupted by the "elite" (aka the Jews, probably)

You forgot manual blinking.

Someone downvoted it and I don't upvote anything unless I find it really funny.

Tbf, it's not as if the time of the year you're born doesn't have effects on how you grow.

There's no way to add an easy mode without compromising the dev's vision.

It would be as easy as putting a slider to reduce damage taken/increase damage inflicted.

If people want to go experience they can play the og game.

Take Celeste for example. Celeste is a game meant to be hard, beating Celeste is supposed to be a trial for the player, it's their mountain to conquer.

And yet, Celeste gives so many accessibility options you can trivialize the game. The people that need it get to play the game and the people that don't need it, play the game as intended.

That's not to say that Dark Souls should have an easy mode. Just saying that it could, easily, have one. They don't because they'd rather maintain the image of being a hardcore™ game than help people with less time/skill/capabilities play the game.

I just think it's bizarre to have a black dude protagonist in a historical japanese setting.

Why? He is a historical figure. Why does a historical figure in his historical setting feel bizarre?

I've read through the sources on Yasuke and I think it's a stretch to say he was like a full fledged samurai.

Potato potato. Why him being a "full fledged samurai" even matters? The series is known to take creative liberties with history.

Seriously ask yourself why having ONE SINGULAR black protagonist in a series where protagonists have so far been overwhelmingly white feels like "black people getting pushed into games".

Because to me, it sounds like you have seen too many opinions of people getting outraged and because of that you internalized their views without asking yourself why they (and now you) feel the way they do.

Why is everyone here pretending like palworld isn't a straight up Pokemon clone that went a bit too close with the designs? I mean the game was basically marketed as pokemon with guns. I know you guys have this new hate for Nintendo, but this isn't even them.

Because it doesn't matter. Palworld isn't getting sued for copyright infringement, it is being sued for patent infringement.

If I made a game about an Italian contractor with a red hat and mustache that fights mushroom people and turtles, you guys would defend it and claim it isn't a copyright issue lol

Again, Nintendo isn't suing for copyright infringement, but for patent infringement. It's more like Nintendo suing Monster Hunter Stories for allowing you to ride your monsters (this is literally one of the patents Pal World is getting sued for).

The black samurai is literally a historical figure. What do you mean "it doesn't make sense"?

I wish I was this deluded. Life must be so simple when it can whatever you want it to be.

I think you might be underselling how important things like the steam workshop and steam's multiplayer support are.

Games like Starbound or Don't Starve benefit a lot from the workshop.

While insert any party game gains a lot out of steam's multiplayer support and friend list.

Also, while I don't use Linux myself, Steam is one of the main reasons why Linux Gaming is a thing.
