Yup, that’s how niche the Steam Deck is at the moment. It’s ~37% of 2% of all Steam users.

Then again the user numbers on Steam are insane. Would be nice to compare it per region.

As a moderator and admin for countless Discord communities, yeah, I’ve seen some vile shit.

Pretending that it doesn’t have an impact doesn’t help in the long run. Secondary Trauma is a thing. Create a workflow to distance yourself from the content, plan breaks, and please talk to someone (qualified) about it.

For sure. Giving refunds because services have not been provided is really detrimental for profits! It’s unfair.

Epic timing, I want to dive in and see if I can mirror setting up Discord communities in the most painless way possible. This seems to be a great step in the right direction. Imagine a place… where you get the best of both worlds and we can leave Discord behind.

The former first daughter

Is this really a thing? I know about “First Lady” and I think that’s fine, but “first daughter”? That’s kinda whack.

Yeah I don’t get why they would want to risk this. Go remake/demake some game by a company that won’t try and kick you in the nuts.

Listen I love NMS for what it has become, but of course they would say that. They know that (the veil of) personal investment in their userbase’s woes is good marketing. What would the answer otherwise be? “fuck your save, start over”?

And if they can’t fix it, they can at least say “we tried”.

There’s definitely some sketchy stuff going on, but in general, reviews are mostly an opinion. A lover of the original versus a hater of the original will probably not give the same score to this game. It really depends on the reviewers history, preferences, ability to investigate, empathize with other demographics / types of players, patience, endurance, willingness to forgive bad gameplay/graphics/story/music as long as the gameplay/graphics/story/music is good, etc.

But if the first two paragraphs are empty pablum, I’m not wasting my time with the next fifty

Great idea. Have a good day.

If you could have bothered to read a few lines more, there’s an entire 76-page PDF attached outlining plans and goals.

Now I’m not asking you to read the whole thing, but you’re being disingenuous.

[What the fuck are you talking about?] (https://kamalaharris.com/issues)

This is exactly the issue that the post is about

Yeah, it sucks. I wouldn’t attribute it to a platform but just to how we are. It’s tribalism for one part, and people attributing malice to just plain ignorance. I don’t mean ignorance as a negative, but just unaware of the politics / social dynamics of the instance you decided to create an account on

In a way I don’t believe Nintendo was naive enough to rely on ‘pinky promise’. Nintendo makes you sign NDAs for getting information about unreleased games, going to events, and playing review copies. Usually not personally, but there’s a contract between Nintendo and the news / writing org.

So I’m pretty sure they did this with the foresight that people would start talking about it. How they can see that as a net positive I find hard to argue, but they get datamined on the regular and games are leaked a week before street date so they had to know.

Well, no Rock & Stone! for you then :P

I find it interesting but there might be no rhyme or reason to it - vibes often just work like that. Does the camera POV have an impact as well? Like first person vs third person vs isometric?

Unpopular, maybe. Controversial, I hope not. Your opinion and experiences are valid.

Can you pinpoint why it’s a turn off? I understand you’re saying you want to be outside, but is it from a feeling of being limited when you’re inside?

Flipping it: do you prefer playing games that are in the sky like Bioshock Infinite over Bioshock 1/2 that are underground (on the sea floor)?

The only time I’ll be cheering for Apple. Good work detective. I guess they should have been glad they didn’t get shot.

It should just post a reply and offer a link for people to also subscribe to the same reminder. But I’m not complaining, just talking in ideal scenarios

I don’t see anything… Does it work?
