I'm also inclined to believe what the other person was saying, because nowadays like you say people don't know how to use their devices to their full potential, but then I remember there used to be a time when I was the only one with a smart phone and everyone else was looking at me like I'm a weirdo for being on this phone during a commute for example, something that today is normal.

The nerdy people are still there and know how to use these tools, the general masses are still as clueless as always, they are just late adopters that never learned anything past what the walled gardens feed them. At least that's my feeling.

Ah yes, the opposite of ergonomic layout. Perfect for some carpal tunnel infused trigger finger.

I have finished Mankind Devided, and while it's a good game it is also very restricted and very small in scope compared to 2077.

I'll bite. Patched 2077 is better than making devided in almost all aspects, although both are worth it.

Cheap is a very relative term and I doubt you can reach an equivalent gas powered two stroke on the same budget.

In Asia they use these vehicles as their main mode of transportation, meaning they also need to have power, travel far and carry their family or shopping. Where I live people use these vehicles on the highway and e-bikes have legal restrictions and documentation. Good luck reaching the minimum required speed with an unlicensed self built ebike.

Maybe where you live 2 strokes are rare, but when we are talking cheap, it's always 2 stroke. Especially the example the other person gave, Asia is full of 2 stroke engines, all super noisy and poluting. Living near a dense traffic street in Asia is a very interesting form of torture for anyone who enjoys clean air or peace and quiet.

Hell, even where I live, they are mildly popular and very hard to miss when one goes by. To move to clean and quiet alternatives can't come soon enough.

I want the Steve Irwins of the world that would only pursue the money in the benefit of the animals, not of their own pockets to run the zoo. Most productive and valuable people are not the richest but those truelly passionate that would even do it for free if it would't ruin their lifes.

And why I'm clenching it for the day Gaben leaves. It will probably be disastrous.

A company that increases mental health of all users through entertainment, pushes the boundary of corporate responsibility and basically solves depression through their carefully crafted launcher.

See, I can also make up bullshit by extrapolating to the extreme.

The only actually decent big company I can think of with a decent product and a track record of investing in open source and consumer benefiting solutions is being defended online. Shock.

I didn't say they need a reason to exist. I said basically the same thing as you. A character is supposed to just exists with their traits and act naturally, instead of making diversity their whole personality. It's the same thing as the classic token black guy in movies. Only present to serve the quota, not actually contributing to anything. And having a character make their straight-ness and whiteness their whole personality would be just as infuriating.

I dispise forced romance just as much as you seem to, it doesn't matter to me what the genders involved are, if it's there I want it to make sense and add something, not just tick a box.

I think the problem isn't the wokeness for most people, but the awkward shoehorning of stereotypes and forced messaging that makes everything feel cheap and doesn't contribute to the experience or story. For example having a lgbtq+ element for the sake of checking a diversity box, instead of it being a random fact of this world or character.
