the difference is that discussions about robocop are exclusively about the original
if youre convinced the wolfenstein and doom reboots have the same impact and relevance as robocop (2014) youre entirely allowed to stay that way, im not gonna try and shake you out of it
I mean, if someone says “Doom and Wolfenstein” without specifying “Doom Eternal” and “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW), I’m thinking of Id.
that makes sense, especially since Doom eternal is in fact still developed by id
Wolfenstein and Doom have both reached significantly more people since they got adopted by zenimax though, so most folks who actually played the games will have probably gotten introduced to them as Bethesda published games
“Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW),
lol ok
Dude! The original ones were cultural touchstones in a market that wasn’t yet oversaturated. They literally invented and defined the whole genre!
the original ones were undoubtedly MUCH more popular in their time.
i mean sure, but that also doesnt matter to the point i was making
More people might be playing the new ones NOW
which is why most folks are probably not talking about the old games when they say they like wolfenstein and doom
i assumed they were talking about the bethesda published reboots, what with them being significantly more popular than the earlier games
doom and Wolfenstein are published by bethesda
it’s ‘i’m afraid’ for me
their games have featured modding on both playstation and xbox in some capacity
but yes, its also nonsense
what are the real world, practical examples of putting 5% into something you think likely won’t work, and what are the real world, practical examples of putting 100% into something you think likely will work?
life rarely if ever asks you for a complete political ideology, the vast majority of the time your influence on the world will be limited to specific answers to specific issues

it hasnt become synonymous, certain people want to make it seem like theyre synonymous
taking sides is fine and even right, but that needs to come with recognition and acceptance of that side's problems
do you have one for EU folks? want to donate, but donating to an actual trustworthy org is hard enough when there isnt this much misinformation

what mask
whether autism is or is not an illness, disease or disorder has no bearing on what i said
you seem to be misinterpreting my comment as being a judgement of value on autism or autistic folks, which it is not
my point is based on the common symptoms, effects and predispositions of autism, especially ones that cannot be pinned on mistreatment
completely and entirely regardless of whether it is a 'valid' or 'normal' neurology or not, and completely and entirely regardless of whether autistic folks can or cannot be blamed for any of it
im sure that mistreatment is part of the issue
im also sure that autism does, at least often, come with real internal stressors that are not the result of their treatment by others, and that make dealing with external stressors more difficult
i dont take an issue with the added context of conscious or subconscious ableism (though i think its besides the point here, because cruel or not, its still something potential children will still have to deal with)
i think its important to remember that even if that wasnt a factor, autism will often still impact the quality of life of potential children
your commitment to just saying some shit is admirable i guess
i doubt there was any chance of a productive discussion past ‘well thats wrong, heres whats actually happening’ with 0 evidence and maintaining that it just has to be true when challenged
im doing this so folks reading this thread at least get the added context of the above being a complete unsourced guess
thats great
the reboot is still probably most fans entry point to the franchise and frame of reference for discussing it, especially during a discussion about Bethesda
that is not any kind of dig at the older games, the quality of them is entirely irrelevant to the point i was making
you dont need to come to the defense of them, especially by venting about games that i also do not care about
