This is very good

Just what are you try to imply here

I, in just about every case, give no attention to norm-based arguments. We as a species on a whole, proportionally, keep doing foolish shit all the time.

But it was after reading your comment that I noticed there was a time that many Germans were either proponents of or tolerating (not all of them absolutely; there were rebels) some extremely bad things. Some 85 years ago.

Might and Magic Book One does not. Heroes of Might and Magic 2 does not. Carmageddon does not. Elder Scrolls Arena does not. (It does, the pixels are designed for CRT effects but the Dosbox staging filter adds black lines to the game still).

I played them. With the filter. That’s where I got the idea from.

Edit: These are pre-2000’s games, sure. It isn’t big enough of a problem for me anyway, I can ignore the title.

“You’re emulating retro games wrong” is not the best title. For example, Dosbox Staging enabled the CRT filter by default at some point; there is no graphical interface, you need to open a file and change a line to revert it. Moreover, there was no indication that the black lines were not a bug but were a filter.

Playing DOS games on operating systems which do not support DOS programs natively is still emulation. However, the number of DOS games which utilised CRT effects are much fewer such that I primarily played DOS games in 2022–23 and none of them made use of CRT. However, the black lines were enabled till I figured it out (because there were no support requests surprisingly, and the default filter being changed was mentioned in an unrelated request regarding bad performance issues—where it was made known and the recommendation was made to change the setting).

The (slight) problem is with the title itself. It is not a big issue for me, but the statement made in the title is the problem because it is only in a comment that it was mentioned not all old games use CRT effects. Clickbait might not be the best word for describing the situation, but the title will be annoying for many who play old games which were not designed for CRT effects. But then, it is not a big problem and I more or less ignored it (to be clear, for being wrong as far as the title itself goes) before seeing this thread. It would’ve been better to state directly instead that many old console games and games of the adventure genre, among others, were designed with these filters in mind and for practical reasons (like actually having the graphics show what they were meant to show) because like in your other comment that specific scene does not show the background at all without the effect, and it will be a fairly common occurrence for games which were designed to use the CRT effect.

Edit: spelling

Sadge💀

For the industry to exist, someone has to be using said region’s industry’s cotton. Otherwise the cotton industry would’ve shut down.

Logically it does make sense that some dum dums aside, most foreign brands in the region will avoid this while the local ones will take advantage of this. However, it is also so that a large number of business entities are not known for good logic. However, still, it takes a special level of dum dum to specifically get this industry’s cotton after this had become a big issue as it is (which is to say it is not an issue for everyone, and nothing ever is otherwise it wouldn’t exist, but it is still a substantial problem for those caught). Which means someone from a foreign brand probably signed off on using said industry’s cotton, I believe. Because thinking ability is not particularly a strong trait, however in many cases it is also a critically weak trait. So chances are someone did do such a thing, however incomprehemsible it may feel to people did an at least okay-level sense of logic.

As mentioned, local businesses would feel less worse benefitting from it, but also country’s brands which operate in few specific regions only and not in any of the large parts of the world that would, through political office, state that this referenced industry is a moral issue.

A steam friend gifted me Achron and Takedown:Red Sabre from his steam inventory. I’m thinking of trying them and seeing how they’re designed. Other than that, maybe some Serious Sam Classic 1 or some other old thing.

It takes all sorts of horrible actions from all sorts of horrible people in many parts of the world, and the place itself, for these things to become possible. The guns they possess, the technical tools for population registration they have…

They could send a bill for physical damages and other losses. If ignored, they could levy other… penalties.

Details. I like it. Verifiable details.

And I dare say, accurate too.

Another thing I remembered, it so happens. The origin of ‘minion’. It is derived from ‘mignon’ which meant darling, but was started to be used in a derogatory way by people who wanted to offend a particular group or something else. The new meaning of the word was born.

In this case I’m an unfortunate person who called my loved one ‘mignon’ without knowing what this new thing was, that such a thing ever happened.

I still feel it would be better to ask next time. I hope you see now I was innocent of such… doings.

I personally found the “the fuck” to be an aggressive, offended tone but that could be a misunderstanding on my part. From what I’m used to, I’ve personally seen that phrase used by people who are against something, intensely, in particular.

As for what you have referenced, it so happens that I have seen no such person saying any such thing. I was referencing no such thing.

…do some people really believe everything is controlled by a small exclusive group? Interesting. Lol that I can disagree with wholly. I hope this clarifies the earlier matter.

I certainly do not believe this as well🤦

Edit: I do not know if this person you replied to specifically believes this in particular as well, and I’ll leave it up to that person to clarify. Have fun.

What is this take… that was not my take at all. The intention was misunderstood, there was a misunderstanding of the language used. Primarily, it was a joke. I certainly do not believe there is a “the powerful” side.

You could have asked🤷

I do not know what you assumed… but I am confused because I have no concept to what you have referenced. Is there anything in particular which was offensive here? Do elaborate. I can say however that I do not know what it is, and I certainly did not mean what you believed I meant (because I do not believe there is one “the powerful” side). Unless, of course, you object to the use of all general terms. Like ‘the royalty’. ‘The general public’ in any general sense. ‘The people’, again, in any general sense.

I get a feeling that I have offended some political thing I have no idea about. When I have no such relation to any such thing, if it is really so.

You pretty much know that I had no racist intention. If I had racist intention, that would be bad, yes. There are too many people who go against other people on the basis of race, it is ironic that a person who is not racist has a comment pointed out as racist. I confirm, I do not have any racist belief. Kindly take your concern to those who really use concepts such as ‘race’ to talk about concepts like ‘superior’ or ‘inferior’, or any other form of statement saying any particular person is bad because of something which wad not done by them—no act of harm intentionally caused.

That said, I shall delete the comment which uses the name of the main character of the game series ‘Shadow Warrior’. Specifically, “It is (character name), sir. (First name) is (last name)”.

Because I like to play a game I paid for, which will run on my hardware. Especially when I avoid all the modern live service is a necessity horseshit. If people are not confident in releasing new games which others would buy despite having old games, I will stop buying games.

Let them do better or eff off.

The powerful must be bored from being wealthy and using money to dictate what people should do, so maybe going a bit more hands on to play war.

They could just get a computer, yo. Even an old one would do, even 90s games can handle all their needs.

Has been on my to-try list. The old one I mean, I don’t have the new.
