And then there’s…

82% Positive? Are you shitting me?

I find the same thing, but I’m really questioning the taste of others.

Never really did PC gaming, bought a SteamDeck to get into that ecosystem after seeing all the posts about “ZOMG! STEAM SALE!!!”

Are people just… not discerning? Do you just buy ANYTHING because it’s on sale?

The signal to noise ratio on Steam is just nuts to me… Yeah, some game might be $1.99, 90% off, but if it’s not worth the bandwidth to download, why are you bothering? Do you lack the ability to tell good games from bad games?

And when the company folds in 16 months you’ll have achieved nothing…

Make sure you say the word “idea” again and again so people get where the name “Dia” comes from…

Steamdecks aren’t dependent on physical stores to sell hardware.

A digital only storefront will be the end of gaming. We already saw it with the Vita.

People go to a store to buy the hardware:

“Wait, why aren’t there any games?”

Some people do nothing but kanban and agile which is effectively doing nothing.

If it were just the Autumn sale, stuff like Space Marines II would have a steeper discount and frankly that sale is more than a little aenemic.

Because it’s two years old?

Oh, shit, there’s a sale?

Hmmm… old games I already own, games I won’t bother downloading…

Epic Mickey Rebrushed for $30 isn’t bad.
Space Marines II for $47.99 needs a bigger discount…

LOL - my post with the explanation is still up:

Along with the explanation:

Doxing ANYONE, even a Neo Nazi, violates lemmy.world legal guidelines and will not be tolerated.

If you can’t, or won’t abide by the TOS, feel free to leave, but don’t act all butthurt when infringing content gets removed.

No idea what you’re on about here, but this post plus your modlog history points to you just being another paper-thin-skinned would be troll who can’t abide by the rules and despises being told “no” by the adult in the room.

Read the rules of the community you’re participating in, abide by those rules, you won’t have a problem.

Advocate lynching? Yeah, that’s going to get removed. General rudeness and civility issues to other users? Same deal.

Again, consider the source here. Anyone who advocates lynching lost the argument from the start.

You’ve had content removed from News, World News, 196, and now AskLemmy… that’s 4 separate moderators.

Moderation is not the problem here.

You have no business throwing stones when you run around suggesting lynching.

I’ve noticed where I work a large number of employees who just seem to host meetings to justify their own existence.

They plan meetings, they have meetings to talk about other meetings. I’m really not sure what else they do.

Unlike reddit, your moderation log is public:

My wife says “My first husband, and he died 25 years ago…”

If your primary gripe is combat, you need to understand it’s not a combat game. It’s an exploration/survival game.

Seriously though, in W11 it’s super easy to disable this shit.
