Basically, you're saying because an engine also has a packaging element (contentDB is the packaging and distribution part maintained by 1 developer, it cannot be an engine). It is both.

Historically, when you install windows, it comes with a game. Does that make it not an operating system?

I'm more inclined to believe the team who make it rather than some random internet stranger though.

Fair point, it didn't feel like you were in agreement.

Apple has to classify their apps. Do they even have a game engine classification? I'm assuming they cannot class it as a productivity suite...

As for random people on Reddit. We've gone and hopefully can move on from the hive mind of regurgitating opinions and use our brains a little more. We're not hunting karma and upvotes here, we're here for better discussion.

I wonder if his goal isn't for Twitter to be successful. I'm wondering if political influence will help to get cushty deals or legislative changes favourable to Tesla or SpaceX.

Why worry about losing $30bn from one hand when you gain $100bn in another?

Yup. I got relatives started on Mint dual booted with Windows. They don't use Windows as Linux just works.

Minetest fulfils the role of platform because of content db, which is a separate thing with it's own name, it wasn't always there, and it's maintained by 1 person. The rest of the developers code the API's which are used for making games. You know what else provides API's for making games? Unity, Unreal and Godot.

Only you, it seems. First I have seen this assertion.

I could go into depth on why it's an engine, but you seem to have already made your mind up and are going to stick with it regardless.

Edit: Actually, I'll leave it up to the Minetest project.... "Minetest is an open source voxel game engine with easy modding and game creation" - https://github.com/minetest/minetest

I really like MineClone2 (a Minetest game).

You cannot play default minetest without a game. It comes installed with minetest game (which is a crappy game and more of a modding base). Delete it and see if you can play, yeah?

What is wc3 and hl?

I appreciate you took that feedback on board.

It may be a very normal headline, but it is pretty inaccurate. An accurate title would be "anti-trans sentiment high, but higher amongst cis-males". Even "anti-trans sentiment higher amongst cis-males" would be less galling.

"driving" "hostility" implies that cis men are actively pushing to make it worse. If anything, right-wingers pushing culture wars are driving it. Maybe men are falling for those tricks more.

If the community is growing, many will not know much about past content or the purpose of the community and any new post could be a first impression. Assuming past knowledge isn't always a good idea.

"You absolutely could have lead with this". You respond to the quality of information you get. The headline was clickbait rubbish, and yes it is triggering (because it is laced in prejudice). I think one of the worse problems as a man, is you're regularly blamed for the sins of all other men, even if you are absolutely opposed to that. Being stereotyped based on your gender is not fun, and I think everyone needs to move away from that.

I think if you wanted to discuss the contents of it, you were better off changing the title and warning of the clickbaity cheap title. High brow titles don't usually warrant low brow and nuanced responses.

I'm not going to simplify it's just women. There are a number of high profile anti-trans women campaigners that are absolutely a problem. With that, I'm sure there are many male public figures who are just as toxic.

I think it's very easy to assume a lot of this comes from bad intentions, and some of it will. I think some of this may be somewhat innocent, but ultimately unhelpful. For example, cis males may be protective of their partners and daughters, and may be concerned because the risks have often been misrepresented, for example in the case of bathroom sharing. Obviously this is paternalistic, and many would construe this as patronising. Many women are confident and don't see that issue, and don't feel they need that protection. My feeling is part of this may come from a good place, intentions wise, but be completely misguided, and open to negative influence from people who are peddling negative and toxic views. I think this problem is quite complex, and as a result any one single approach will not work to solve the problem.

Edit: I noticed my other post got deleted. It seems ok to insinuate something about my motives, but when I reasonably respond and ask them same question, it's censored and mod powers are used without hesitation. I don't think rich debate can be had here and it's not a place I want to be part of.
