They are competitors on a personal level as many people only have the time or money to fit one of them into their lives. But by that definition cycling or golfing is also a competitor and nobody would write an article about how bikes outsold the Steam Deck.

Fuck off.

I’m sorry that I offended you. I was genuinely trying to be helpful in pointing out how what you said could be misconstrued.

But the ones that I have met expressed very overtly racist positions that were logically inconsistent in any other scenario: special pleading all the way.

I wasn’t, at the time, back around a decade ago now, telling my white liberal friends ‘all Israelis are racist because I met a few’.

I’m not saying that you were being racist. I’m saying that it’s very easy to come across as racist when pointing out things that you don’t like about a few people off the same race.

You are here doing the thing my former friends did: You are assuming I did and said things I did not do nor say, and are pearl clutching… because you’ve head canon’d in your own missing context and additional details.

I’m doing no such thing. I wasn’t judging you for your observations and I made no statement about whether I thought you were racist or not because I don’t have the information required to suggest that you are.

But did you read the entire article that is this post?

No, I didn’t need to because I was only making the comment that it’s very easy to be seen as racist when you talk about a race of people.

Meanwhile, I’ve been anti Zionist my whole life, and every single actual Israeli I’ve ever met has been a racist, anti-Islamic Zionist… and when I point this out, almost every white liberal or self described lefty has called me an antisemite.

The problem is that there is a fine line between stating your observations of a few people and racism.

I’d guess that you haven’t met many actual Israelis…… certainly not enough to be a statistically significant sample. If that’s the case then assuming that your observations apply to the whole population becomes racism.

I don’t follow games before release so I wasn’t disappointed by missed promises and really enjoyed it.

The first that I heard of it was how buggy it was so I left it until people were saying the bugs were mostly fixed before getting it on sale.

I don’t think that the NPC behaviour was the problem but the fact that they promised more. The NPCs didn’t feel significantly different to those in other games for me.

I think that the ability to become stupidly rich and being an arsehole are linked.
