  • You are so right. I do voluntary work with (mainly) victims of abuse. Most of those, who were abused as a child, tend to be abused their whole adult life too. Dissociativte tactics are like what Satan would come up with if given the task to think of the most evil shit to do to a person.

    Besides that…pedophilia needs more recognition. Even though it got much much much better (here in krautland at least), compared to like some decades ago. It still falls under statute of limitations after 30yrs, which, to me, is pure cynicism.

    Anyhow, this topic can’t even be put into some text and do it justice… I just wanted to say, you’re right. The evil iceberg we see floating on the surface is just the tiny tip of a deeply rotten species that actually invented and perfected pure evil. To you personally: I’m glad you made it out alive. Proud of you. There actually are some good people on this planet. It just takes more time to find them. Never give up 😊



  • Ok, und Kennzahlen festlegen und damit bewusst wahrzunehmen, daß struktureller Sex-, Rass- und Able-ismus existiert, um ihn genau dadurch ebenfalls selbst zu betreiben, ist nennenswert besser? Wenn ich jemanden einstelle UM eine gewisse Divers-Quote zu erreichen, mache ich doch auch nichts anderes. Ob ich das nun freiwillig mache oder gesetzlich genötigt werde. Fändest du es befriedigend eingestellt worden zu sein WEIL du divers bist? Auch wenn du geeignet bist und auch durchaus in die engere Wahl gekommen wärest, aber eben nicht gewonnen hättest. Angenommen natürlich du wüsstest das dann. Also MIR würd’s nicht gefallen.

    Diskussion ist aber auch müßig, denn außer die *-ismen endlich abzuschaffen (wir sind die, die der nächsten Generation die Werte beibringen sollte) gibt’s da keine zufriedenstellende Lösung.



  • Das stimmt. Macht aber zwangs-hire nicht besser. Das hilft nämlich auch nicht, ausser natürlich das diese Personen nen job haben. Wenn das alles ist was dabei zählt.

    Ich hab immer eingestellt was passte und für die Aufgabe geeignet erschien. Scheiss auf Lebenslauf und den ganzen Affenzirkus in diesem Land. Und es war stets ein heterogener Haufen. Wer kam wusste das, wer lieber in einer rein weissen würstchenbude 20-49 ohne Behinderungen arbeiten mag, war halt falsch. Dazu Firmen-Beteiligung für jeden und totale Gleitzeit, und die nicht einmal kontrolliert. Alles war effizient und jeder happy. Es geht.

    Willst DU irgendwo eingestellt werden nur WEIL du ein einbeinige schwarze Frau bist, selbst wenn 58382 Leute besser geeignet gewesen wären?








  • Just because YOU don’t see why support on both sides hate fragmentation, doesn’t matter. They do nonetheless for very obvious reasons unless you are very alien to tech.

    And yes, people do need guidance. If they’re not forced to update, they rarely do. And then they complain shit’s not working. People don’t read manuals, FAQs, guidelines and also they don’t update unless forced to (or strooongly motivated or just nagged to death). I’ve been in this industry for nearly 4 decades now. From all sides. The average Joe or Jane is the worst.

    And yeah sure, it doesn’t matter at all for some games. You play the version you want and it’s all fine. But either you offer this option (which steam does BTW, as mentioned before) or you don’t. If you don’t, maaaany devs would be going to use another platform. Maybe fucking EPIC. That’d be grand.




  • Gog does it, but Gog only offers a mere fraction of what Steam has. Also your example of BL2 is not on gog either. For that reason.

    Sure, Valve could enforce that, but…as said…why? They already offer the option for different versions. If the devs don’t use that, they will have their reasons. The biggest one i mentioned before: Fragmentation and the resulting nightmare of customer-support. On steam’s AND the dev’s side. Look at the Android or Windows-market. Someone complaining “my windows sucks”, but still uses Windows Vista. Or people screaming for support because “my favourite app doesn’t work” and use android 10.

    Don’t get me wrong, personally I’d value the freedom of choice. But the vast majority of people are clueless (and still use those devices) and need to be “guided”. Every system gets dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. That’s why apple does so well (besides the “brand”-shit ofc).




  • Firewalls and especially sinkholes are VERY necessary, far beyond silly game telemetry.

    They don’t allow this for a good reason. Imagine 1 million clueless gamers running an older version of their game because they’re too lazy too update. And, of course, then complain about a buggy game and the tech-support will drown even more and review would end up more badly. nothing worse than a fragmented game-world. how should online games work if every Joe and Jane got their “own” favorite version? the average user is a total clueless (pc-wise) person.

    Also, you can install an older version. Just with more hassles. Also you could by GUI with many games IF the Dev wants you to be able to. Like a select few versions, if you’d prefer an older state. But, of course, only indie devs do that.
