Quoting: EikeNow that's something I can totally (not sure about the English term) sign. The older I get the more I feel there's thing you won't even remotely fathom/feel until you've actually walked in their boots. (Which sometimes is impossible or unwanted, obviously.)

That's why I'm so thankfully for Kevin Smith's Red State because quite a lot of the people that are cis gendered and straight who "finally get it" that I know and I'm surrounded by have seen the movie and at the end it clicked in their brain they finally understood. And guees what no more fights with those people why because they're more than just fathoming it , they understand it.

They are still straight , they are still cis they won't change that anytime soon but they get it now.
They truly get what it's like to be in my boots.

Quoting: WorMzyBah, it hard codes qwerty controls, so it's basically impossible for me to play on a dvorak keyboard. :(

I'll see if there's a config file somewhere.

EDIT: There is a config file ~/.config/Epic/CrazyJustice/Saved/Config/LinuxNoEditor/Input.ini
But it is empty by default, and gets overwritten with an empty file when you start the game, sooooo.. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Look at the bépo layout and try to play that way so same goes for me I had to switch back to English layout to just test it.
And yes for me too it overwrites the config file everytime you exit game so once you launch it back up welp you just have to reconfigure everything all over again ...

Quoting: pentarctagonIs everything supposed to be super, incredibly pixelated?

Not really no .

Quoting: EikeI get the feeling that a big part of what TheSyldat wants to express are actually feelings, not arguments. This would explain several things, including the piece of art needed or being on TheSyldat's(*) side of the fence. Proper arguments can be understood on any side of a fence, feelings sometimes way less so.

(*) I'm always working around the pronoun here. TheSyldat, is there any of your choice?

Not exactly feelings more like "in order for you to truly get what kind of psychological harm does society's gearing generates , you need to be in my boots otherwise you're only "fathoming it" but it's just that "fathoming" it's not understanding."

Like I said He/Him for me please.

That we agree on

Quoting: tuubibut I have better things to do than congratulate random internet strangers for the shape of the turd they deign to drop on a conversation.

How about you start practicing now ...

Sure. Let's do it together. You repeat to yourself: "There are good people who deserve my respect outside my bubble" and I'll meditate on the virtue of patience.

Then start meditating now ...

Quoting: scaineI'm not sure what you meant by having somebody do a piece of art.

By that I meant that if Red State still doesn't make you understand what I truly means then maybe another film with a similar situation at the end.
Or another game , or another book or another painting.
Sometimes art allows you to tilt your head in a certain way and you start understanding somehting differently and some words take a whole new meaning.
Well here that's the same until you either have been in my situation (or similar) or a piece of art made you realize what it's like you won't understand what I mean by "only an abuser or a silent accomplice gets mad at being called one"

Quoting: liamdaweIt's true that right now it's not ideal, but let's not go comparing it with realism-based stuff like Ring of Elysium, Battlefield or anything like that because they're not even trying to be like them to be fair.

Thing is with Fortnite (and chineese made ones that are equally cartoony on mobile and tablets) even their aesthetics of looks and play is getting done too and base is solidly covered.

Don't get me wrong I don't wish them ill but with what I have seen of their current build outside of an attempt at being "just like fortnite"
I don't really see much of anything and their reliance on showing a cartoony version of the goat in goat simulator isn't exactly conveying the idea that they're taking their project more seriously than being a fortnite knock off that will be there for them to familiarize themselves with an engine.

I see both sides here. I'd like a battle royale to be on linux and other OSes and it being crossplay , but right now the game is in a sorry state has some potential yes but nothing that goes further than being "the other fortnite"

TL : DR : Just like you Liam I'd like them to turn things around and to be successful but quite frankly right now both their past lack of communication and the meme goat don't exactly convey the idea that they have a solid creative plan under their belt.

Quoting: scaine

Quoting: TheSyldatIn other words "only an abuser or a silent accomplice of an abuser gets mad at being called one"

Well, despite doing my best to defend your position (which I think I have a fair bit of empathy for), we'll never agree on that. Total nonsense.

Again and for the last time that's nonsense to you because you've never been on my side of the fence and therefore you don't GET what I mean by that. And I provided you an alternative way to maybe start to understand it. Go watch Red State and pay carefull attention to the end of the movie maybe it'll finally dawn on you.

I won't reformulate myself another time

Either you get it or you need to watch red state or have somebody doing some piece of art that will make you understand what that sentence ACTUALLY means.

Quoting: liamdawe4) a player dropped in front of me, their helicopter backpack never vanished

Heck it didn't vanish for me either (the player in question) and it was still makin' me zippin' around at the heli back pack pace rather than walk. It took you shooting at me and being turned into a goat for me to be able to walk normally :D

Quoting: GuestTelling people to be on your side of the fence presumes they haven't been in minority situations themselves. I believe I know what you're trying to say, and generally agree, but I don't think you're communicating it very well.
Please take this only as a critique of your communication skills, not of experiences.
Some of it will be a language barrier, and cultural differences do play their part. But your "tone" (as much as text has tone) is more forceful than not, and it doesn't generally help.
The same is true of others, but in my view they're attempting to be more...gentle, perhaps, for the most part. And I understand you may be trying as well, but sadly it's not (in my own opinion of course) quite working. I only suggest to please continue, just change tact a little bit; I think what you have to say is important, and want to encourage you being able to say it such that it's more accepted.

Again I'm done trying to explain myself and repeating myself, the only way for anyone that still thinks I'm antagonizing them to realise I'm not is to live through a very close form of systematic discrimination during years to start to envison that no I'm not antagonizing here.
In other words "only an abuser or a silent accomplice of an abuser gets mad at being called one" but that sentence no matter how you reformulate it will only be understood once you have been in the seat of the discriminated.

Heck the ending of the film Red State is a perfect example of that. So I dunno maybe go watch that movie and you'll start to get it

As far as I'm concerned I'm done repeating myself.
