"in part" lol

I know I know, it can be more than that. It's just hilarious when a grandma wouldn't realize they're different games at a glance.

Could a grandma tell the difference between Battlefield and CoD? Probably not ๐Ÿค”

Which versions? Some of them cover the same stuff and do look very similar if you don't know what UI or game features to differentiate.

This is literally about someone who doesn't know the things the expert knows... I'm saying the non-expert would be confused. Literally the opposite of that comic.

I think they are implying that no matter which shooter it is, most grandmother's will have absolutely no clue at all. And, that would imply your mentioning the UI is wildly redundant or misguided because any analysis beyond "shooter" is waaaay out of Grandmas depth.

The XKCD just uses an example of people talking about details that are obviously nonsensical to anyone outside the "in group" (molecular sand lattice science people types).

You with your game knowledge, fall into the "in group" in this instance and the additional details are superfluous.

Don't think it was a dig at you, just a noticed behaviour. We all do it, especially with topics that we are interested in.

I specifically said they WOULDN'T recognize those things.

I mentioned them because they WOULDN'T recognize them.

I'm literally saying what the comic is saying in reality, not what the comic is satirizing...
