    Is this bait? Am I being had here? Is this going in a screenshot?

    Just in case you’re serious, I’m not the person who complained about politics being present. I’m just baffled that they were getting piled on because people either think or pretend to think that Luigi isn’t a political figure from the US.

    It is an insane statement to say excluding US events feeds into hyper nationalism. The domestic news cycle of the US has no effect on the lives of most people in the world. This has nothing to do with nationalism, it’s just geography. And Americans aren’t some oppressed minority that need media exposure. Not to forget that this is a meme about something everyone already heard about, not a news story about a new thing. Being reminded of US politics in random memes simply has no benefit to anyone.

    It’s fine if you like seeing memes featuring US politics though. You can argue that. You don’t have to launder an opinion into an objective fact to do so.





    • Description of the effects and hardware demands of graphics options.
    • An actual benchmark for ‘optimized settings’ (even if it’s just crunching numbers) instead of hardcoded GPU names.
    • Clear indication of which difficulty the game was balanced for.
    • Msaa. Hate running old games at 200 fps with jagged edges and blur thanks to fxaa.
    • Instant controls switching between controller and keyboard. Tired of games that pick input type at startup, pick input glyphs at startup, ignore first button press from a different input before switching, disable controller if keyboard input is detected etc etc. Edit: exciting new addition courtesy of arkham origins: detecting steam input as a keyboard
    • Not games but steam: just let me force steam input on all games like Proton.

    Also how ‘full potato’ do you want it to be? I assume the settings don’t scale below low, so it’d be just turning off shadows, reflections etc. Would even the lowest resolution textures fit in the vram of an older card? And besides, the engine is probably designed for modern multi core cpus so even if the graphics could be scaled down it might not run well
