Instead, post about the cool indie games out that you think deserve far more attention
That’s why I ended my post with the games I enjoy and recommend :)
Comment on Why would I buy this?

I can’t say I like how /Games often circles around negative attention rather than positive.
Activision spent billions on marketing so people will buy these stupid Ultra Editions. Even negative attention gets people thinking about and talking about the game.
Instead, post about the cool indie games out that you think deserve far more attention than this battle pass slop. Let Activision come check up on us and cry because for all their efforts no one even cares to hate on their game.
Theres an asymmetric game out as a demo, called Carnival Hunt. It has a really unique aesthetic, and isn’t all that fun yet, in part because of the formula being refined and players getting better at it. But I like the idea: Rather than TCM’s idea of unlocking doors towards an exit, the survivors, “bunnies”, are trying to climb the floors of a large building, with each method of ascending a floor requiring various tools and making noise. Some ways up are harder to set up but easier to repeat, others only work if the killer is ignoring them.

The reality is that we are on a relatively small decentralized reddit clone.
We truly are the most exceptional exceptions.
Most people cant even begin to think of caring about what we care about.
Activision certainly doesnt.

This is the reality everyone on Lemmy, and even reddit, needs to face. We’re a minority of a minority of people. All the people who glaze and go nonstop about Linux? That’s not even half of Lemmy users, and you can find someone like that in just about every thread on Lemmy, regardless of context.
We’re such a miniscule group of people we probably wouldn’t even register on studies about social behavior.

Ooo Linux mentioned?
What distro are you currently on, I’m intrigued
Zahille7@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
I’m one of the ones who doesn’t give a shit about that. On my PC I use windows, and my phone is android.

I tried to use OpenSUSE tumbleweed for about 6 months as my main desktop, but eventually due to many of the things I wanted to do being a real pain to do in linux, said fuck it and went back to windows whilst building a new high end gaming rig.
It really sucks as I hate Microsoft with a burning passion, but if you want to play games, or use many CAD packages or make music, or watch videos (specifically with pot player for me, as it absolutely dunks on VLC unfortunately), then you just have to use Windows.
I haaaaaate the obvious attempts by the new taskbar to control user behaviour.
I hate the spying which it takes a while to turn most of it off, I hate… a lot, but the world is how it is.
I’m very thankful for Steamdecks gaining steam so that one day hopefully gaming on linux will be possible, and maybe adoption goes up and then maybe other apps follow.
Maybe the US collapse will have Europe mass switching, causing professional apps to also move over, especially CAD.
