If your goal is to achieve realistic looking city streets the best way to do that isn't an expensive online infrastructure and much more advanced simulation.

If the developers had the skills and time to do that they could more easily have more dense NPC crowds and richer local simulation.

The reason the games aren't already like that is likely just cost, talent, and target performance, which you'd need a lot more of to execute your plan.

there are lots of systemic forces that incentivize being an asshole as well

I am doubting myself now after not being able to quickly find a verified source but I've worked with lots of smart TVs and seem to recall Samsung or LG models using this simulated effect. It would have had to have been simulated since there was no signal coming in, and I recall the pattern being noticably pseudo random.

As for why: I have no idea! Maybe just for user familiarity reasons, since a lot of people grew up with that kind of analog feedback that the antenna wasn't getting a signal.

Take what I said with a grain of salt, though, since like I said I wasn't able to quickly verify it. It's a vivid but ambiguous memory, though, since I also thought it was strange

Depending on the TV it's likely simulated noise at this point

If the only difference between you and them is who is in the in group and the out group, you might not be so different after all.

I don't think this is likely to work tbh. I'm sure the app has enough device data to link the user with a broader data profile that would easily eliminate data from people that don't actually have periods.

The data profiles people build on citizens aren't limited to one data source, and emails/phone numbers/browser fingerprints/device details are all things that can be keyed between data sets to relate identities.

Fascist law enforcement can and would do this kind of thing to chase individuals. This kind of noise seems easy to filter out.

My man is trying to make a point about gender equality in a genocide. People should be killed equally in genocide.

Too bad the campaign is over they could have paraded him around

Fair enough, I felt it important to clarify (and check) so these developers and Team 17 aren't unfairly punished by the general state of the industry.

It doesn't seem like you need to worry here.

Can you explain to me how you're supportive of Israel's government and its actions without it being from a conservative or fascist perspective?

What do you identify as?

I never called you antisemitic, I don't conflate opinions on Israel or Zionism with people's Jewish identity. There are many anti-Israel and anti-Zionist Jews.
