      Video games are a fantasy and I want my character to look a certain way, fuck me right?

          Bro games are for fun. If they can’t be a selfish fantasy jerk off, what can? That’s such a dramatic description. Is “I’m a D&D purist” code for “I can’t let people enjoy things.”

          In a fantasy world, wouldn’t it be reasonable for someone to use an invisibility spell on the helmet? Or apply some sort of invisibility serum/option into it?

            That sounds very expensive. Perfect invisibility is usually expensive and/or difficult in fantasy settings. Much like in the real world.

              Now you’ve got me imagining a budget version of an invisibility potion/spell/item that gives 30% translucency.

                Pretty much. If you’re sneaking around you usually don’t need 100% invisibility. If it’s dark, 30%-60% is fine if you’re at all sneaky. That’s how the “chameleon” spell worked in Oblivion.

                  One of the best games I’ve ever played… And the mods were top notch

              These are faulty full body invisible spells, that are heavily discounted, because they work only on the helmet. Because of the difficulty to create a full invisible spell, the majority created are faulty and basically trash, but mages sell them for low price to get back at least the material costs. Low yield.

      You being downvoted is why I’m starting to hate lemmy.

        They’re being downvoted for being rude to someone just for expressing a desire to hide helmets in games.

          In a clearly joking manner. Humor is dying slowly, killed by people who feel the need to rectally insert every statement they read, and I’m noticing it more and more on Lemmy. It’s saddening.

            I am generally a comedic person, but my humor sense did not tingle at this. Reading the guy’s later comment in the thread only made me think it was more serious.

            It wasn’t funny though. The words they used, the reaction, the context…none of it was particularly funny.

            A joke that isn’t funny and can be easily read as rude gets downvoted. Seems pretty straightforward.
