I was trying to be charitable by assuming you badly misunderstood the comment because English was your second language. The alternatives are that you, in your own words, lack "the basic literacy of at least a second grader" or that you misread it on purpose to give yourself an excuse to pick a fight.
Enjoy the fight that you sacrificed your own dignity to start.
While in very formal English "one" is the generic pronoun and "you" is addressed to you personally, in casual English "you" is the generic pronoun with the same meaning as formal written French "on".
So the post above wasn't a personal attack. It used "you" to mean "one".

The echo chamber effect comes from mass downvoting of dissenting comments by a dedicated faction or the hive mind and mass upvoting by the same. The ticket to virtual popularity is popular soundbites.
What are you asking exactly? Are you wondering about standard politeness in English, or wondering why Adobe wrote an announcement in the style used for friends and family of the dead and published it as a press release?
I've never seen the word before, but calling Ukraine's president -- who is Jewish -- a "nazi" was a staple of Putin's propaganda to support his war of imperial re-conquest.
In the USA it's not a crime to be racist, promote a religion teaching that God wants you to be racist, say most racist things in public, or even join the American Nazi Party. The line is set at threatening, inciting, or provoking violence, and judges don't accept online arguments that saying racist garbage is inherently threatening.
That's another point brought up on Reddit as well: "puzzle" as a genre is for games that are overwhelmingly or purely about puzzles, without a separate fighting system and with no more than minimal exploration.
If finding a path through a level made a game a puzzle game, Super Mario Bros. would be a puzzle game.
Zelda? Wouldn't call that a puzzle game; too much fighting.
Point 'n' click adventure games might be the most similar genre, but they've been considered a separate genre for a very long time.
Remember having to enter DRULYB to get a different outfit?
I agree with Grailly's second and third ideas. Classic puzzle games gain very little from photorealistic graphics.
I also agree with a Reddit comment that point 'n' click adventure games, a closely related genre, could benefit tremendously from AAA graphics. The trick would be convincing companies to make and sell a game designed for players to get stuck for hours.
As a technological problem it could have a technological partial solution: the darker the skin, the higher the threshold to declare a match. This would also mean more false negatives (real matches not caught by the software) but not much to do about that.
Interesting. The small subreddits I follow either moved or are just as active. Most are just as active.
I'd like to spend more time here, but Lemmy is still not attracting enough people to support a lot of the small subreddits I follow.
I like 2 better than 1 because it has a better villain, better side characters, and a wild streak. 1 and 3 are boring by comparison.
