Saying anyone should be killed is removable, not bannable.

Absolutely not, I’m denying lemmy users ability to say anyone should be killing anyone else as per your TOS.

Don’t like it?

We specifically ban calls for violence, if you argue “Death to Apple” in an environment where Apple stores are being firebombed, then yeah, we’d remove those statements too.

No, because defunding the police is not an extermination program. Advocate for KILLING cops? That’s going to be removed with a quickness.

I kinda had the opposite experience, I had been a PC gamer for years before the Xbox came out, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Aliens Total Conversion, Hexen, Rise of the Triad, Quake, Unreal…

By then I had kind of burned out on FPS, so when I heard about Halo I was like “I dunno… another FPS…”

Then I played a demo in the store and was like “Shut up and take my money!”

Speaking of consoles here.

Valve really operates in a different market from Microsoft or Sony, but what hurt them was a couple of things:

1. Repeatedly skipping Gamescom essentially told Sony “Yeah, we don’t care about Europe.” And the sales numbers show it. Sony owns Europe.

2. No differential between console and PC. Launching the same game at the same time on PC and Xbox doesn’t incentivize people to a) buy games on Xbox or b) develop games on Xbox. Why bother if it’s on PC the same day?

3. Focusing on digital vs. physical takes games out of stores. On a recent trip to Target they had a nice big Playstation section and a nice big Switch section. Hey? Where are the Xbox games?

He has no idea what the medicare requirements are, does he?

Every piece of news on the Switch 2 made it sound less and less impressive.

I’m the opposite of you, I pretty much buy EVERY console and I’m skipping the Switch 2 for now.

1. Price is too high.
2. Game prices are too high.
3. Cartridges aren’t games, they’re download keys.
4. Demo that should have been included is a paid demo.
5. Features are pay gated after 1 year (camera).

If you absolutely need to entertain the 7 year old, get a Switch OLED. It’s a better deal.

Under the UN Genocide definition, both are the same:

https://www.un.org/en/genocide-prevention/definition

"Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

1. Killing members of the group;

2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

It only takes ONE to be called a genocide. Israel has run the table, 5 for 5.

Russia? 4 for 5 in Ukraine. I can’t think of instances of bullet point #4.
