  • Brainstorming: maybe make it mandatory only when a review is about performance of the game, because that’s when it’s relevant. Maybe a checkbox as you’re writing a negative review that’s something like ‘what aspect(s) of the game don’t you like’, and if ‘performance’ is checked, a little addendum that says ‘your specs will be added to the review to give context’. In that case, people who want to look through reviews would also be able to filter by those same ‘types’ of reviews, or see what percentage of negative reviews are due to performance, or other things. Could be a good addition overall.

    But generally, if someone wants to write a bad review because of shitty controls, or plot, or the game being too short for its price, etc., there’s no need to have specs attached to that kind of review.

    Two males have any sort of positive interaction with each other
    Weirdos: Wow so GAY

    Saying it in a positive way doesn’t really make it better. Normalize men being able to enjoy each other’s company without assuming they’re falling in love or lusting after each other, sheesh.

    The classic analogy is the jar of 100 sweets.

    Classic, but deeply flawed.

    This is literally the same way white supremacists ‘justify’ being distrustful/suspicious of black people in general.

    The mental stress that this level of paranoia inflicts on you is likely going to be more harmful on average.

    You’re best off overall if you take reasonable precautions (having a small weapon/pepper spray), and just go about your day without stressing about it all the time.











  • you just get loans against your static wealth at incredibly favorable interest rates.

    It’s more than that, because the wealth of those who utilize loans this way typically isn’t static. It’s not about just getting a good rate, it’s that the assets they use as collateral appreciate in value at a rate higher than inflation and the interest rate combined, so in practice, the interest rate is literally negative. The price of having access to these loans is that their net worth just grows a bit more slowly as a result.

    Of course, this only works as long as said assets continue to appreciate at that rate.
