@whimsical why should I be violent? I‘m an atheist, not a christian.
And I don’t care what my grandparents or any other group of people that I‘m supposed to identify with did or didn’t do.
Even if it’s a joke, it kind of reveals a disturbing mindset that I see other people have. -
"then disable supporting the peripheral"
it is a bit of an overoptimization though
like I can see people using unintended input methods to create niche control schemes to best other gamers with if this was a competitive game but probably the game wouldn't get that big and it's probably not competitive -
@jestdotty whatever sick shit people do, it‘s never in the name of atheism. However, it is often in the name of religion.
Atheism is not a world view, when will you finally understand that? -
@jestdotty Fundamentalist Muslims and Christians both agree that being gay should be a crime punished with death.
Name an atheist who demands violence or death for anyone, for any reason, because it‘s written in the Atheist Bible. Go ahead!
Oh, right, there is no Atheist Bible, because we atheists are not fucking morons who derive morality from a 2000 year old book about a magical sky daddy. -
@jestdotty > 'it is a bit of an overoptimization though'.
!really, though. If you're designing the game to be played e.g. on a PC w/ a keyboard + mouse, && then saying 'we won't be supporting controllers', but the controller works in a half-assed way, say two out of ten buttons actually work, apart from the directional stick, then you really should want to disable that one.
Either do it properly, or !at all.
Truth is, the implementation wasn't deliberate. It was an engine thing, so some things just work thanks to the engine's catch-all.
All that said, imagine if it was the other way around - on a console a keyboard would work, along w/ PC-only combinations like Alt+Enter, or Alt+F4? Those things aren't supported on consoles && would have most likely some weird results. -
@Lensflare Yup. 'Hahaha. You believe in a supernatural being.'.

Pretty much any atheist's reaction, then they just move on. -
@D-4got10-01 yeah this south park episode portraits atheists exactly as religious morons see us: A religion about not having a religion.
They think religious belief is fundamental because it’s so important to them and they can’t comprehend not having one.
I appreciate the joke and the humor in this episode.
However, idiots really think that this is what atheism is. 🤦♂️ -
Aaaand @jestdotty deleted her comment again.
Yeah, I’d be embarrassed about that, too. -
@Lensflare Well, unlike putting the toothpaste back into the tube, deleting your comment is very easy.
Speaking of fun references to religion, I also enjoyed this one from 'Family Guy' https://youtube.com/watch/... .
It's good to poke fun at things. -
@D-4got10-01 in all seriousness, when you start taking idiots seriously, society goes to shit. You can see it happening right now.
-
@Lensflare > 'when you start taking idiots seriously, society goes to shit. You can see it happening right now.'.
Ah, yes. Unfortunately very true. But I've noticed people started pushing back on their insanity, so at least a step in the right direction.
They break your heart too 😭💔
Me if i was a game dev
This is gold. This developer has a bold captcha solution.
Shortly after joining the $company, I found this issue where if you connect a certain peripheral to the console, you can use it to do weird stuff that isn't really a thing on consoles. I documented my finding by creating a bug report.
...the bug report had been closed by the test lead w/ a message stating 'The game doesn't support the peripheral. Won't Fix'.
Fucking moron. Well... personally I don't give a fuck whether the issue is fixed. For one, though, it's !that tester's call - it's the devs' call. Seconds thing about this is - if the peripheral is !supported, then how about fucking disabling it, instead of letting the game intercept input from it, which can /* && does, as it turns out */ lead to unintended behavior?
I kind of wish the game had an SQL injection vulnerability, so I could create a report of it just to see whether the retard closes that one too w/ 'The game doesn't support code injection. Won't Fix'.
FFS.
