You are going to get downvoted by people who think that the term "rice/ricing" has racist origins, before they even read your post.
I am not a Steam Deck user, I came here from sorting by new, but you might get more responses if you use a different term.
the accepted term for this is rice, the intended audience will understand
Some people accept the term, others do not.
Oh I'm sorry I really didn't know any better. Sorry I didn't intend to be racist. I will change my post
I'm going to be completely honest - I have no idea what other word can be used in its place to convey what it means in this context.
The intended audience will know that your post didn't intend to offend IMO
I have never heard it used as a racist word, I don't think you need to worry
you're fine, dude. no idea what the other person is talking about.
Yeah this is called "tone policing" get outta here
I’m curious because I’ve never heard it as a racist term, what does rice mean aside from the edible grain used in countless dishes?
It comes from making fun of Asian cars/motor-cycles after ww2.
Then it was to refer to modified Asian cars in the 2000’s, mostly in a negative way. These are the cars that are painted bright colours, have under-glow lighting, decals, full body-kits, and spoilers that are larger than they need to be. Look up the race “Street racing Syndicate” for examples.
It then came to the PC community, where it was used for fully customized rigs or UIs. People in this group may have never heard it being used in a racist way, especially if they are under 30, and they may not mean any harm by using it.
Okay. This is bullshit. Who tf would think "rice/ricing" as racist ? It is a Linux term for god sake. People need to stop being so fragile little creatures that they let themselves be offended by something like this.
