having a mechanic that lowers your FOV and slows the player character down makes for a slower, less movement focused game

Apex Legends is a fast-paced game, but it would be faster, more movement focused game without an ADS system that slows your character down and reduces your FOV

Destiny 2 is a fast-paced game that has weapon perks that exist just so you can move faster while ADSing, but it would be a faster, more movement focused game if it didn't have the ADS mobility/FOV drawbacks to begin with

genuinely this, the advent of universal ADS in the FPS genre has made games slower, movement to get closer to your target has been disincentivized, replaced with aiming down long corridors with zoomed in FOV. I think it mostly became this way because of the popular surge of console gaming, holding LT to ADS essentially becomes a "AUTOAIM, ONLINE!" button, and it standardizes switching between two aiming speeds with non-ADS being fast, and ADS being slow and accurate, whereas on a mouse you can instantly switch between fast and slow aim speeds a lot easier by changing how much you move your arm

i think they have their place in a few niche games like rainbow six to incentivize moving slower in combat encounters to make the defenses you place down more of a mechanical benefit, but even in that game in like a month tops people were just running into bases and quickscoping everyone to get around the ADS movement speed drawbacks so like lol, lmao

plus i liked when the gimmick of sniper rifle weapons in games were that they were the only guns that could zoom your screen in, it made them feel unique and powerful

even if the only benefit from EVs is future proofing and transferring carbon debt from the car to the power grid, that's still a huge boon since you can reduce a power grid's CO2 production

the moment cold fusion is solved every single EV becomes near-zero emission, the same cannot be said for carbon emitting cars, and for that reason alone every country with the means to do it should be trying to make sure the future average citizen's cars can run on electricity
