• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess me and my several thousand borderlands hours are not a real fan then? The games weren’t worth $80 even when they came with goodies. They’re not worth $80 without the goodies. I’ll just wait for a sale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but the problem (at least for me) is that I was simultaneously going nowhere and running out of places to go. I legit wasn’t sure how to progress literally any of the opened quests and felt like nothing was getting done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reasonable, but you’d be fooling yourself to act as if forums will meaningfully replace Discord for most users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this called?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really want a poncho/ruana style thing to wear casually, but I just cannot seem to find one with a style that really tickles my fancy. I’ll wrap random blankets around me shawl sans brooch style, but they’re not really the style I’d want to go wear out and about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m normally at least moderately excited for nintendo’s release lineup. This time, though… it’s neat I guess?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Breach. An asymmetric game of 5 v 1 with the 5 heroes working through a dungeon crawl while the 1 enemy sets traps or controls random AI characters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They already have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, inflation happened, and purchasing power has not grown or stayed the same with it. People can’t afford as much, so rising prices on entertainment are going to sting even more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow I rarely find people who know about When They Cry. Now I’m interested in seeing more about the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He thinks the president should hire/fire anyone they want, but they dislike the people the president has been choosing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All? Unlikely. But some? A lot harder to say. You’re asking for an opinion-based prediction at this point. I think they’ll probably eventually try to get the most outspoken critics, but I also think that’s a good time to not go silent. You get organized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Based on play and replay, it seems to be either Payday 2 or Borderlands 2.

  Payday2, especially if you have tons of builds and DLC, is a fantastic brain-off mob shooter where you can slightly improve/perfect your build and gameplay with each run. For some reason it just works for me.

  Borderlands 2: fun guns; solid story; visuals and mechanics that mostly hold up today. It’s just a good time and another skill-tree builder game where you get to feel like a god if you’ve assembled your skill tree right. The NG+ modes are a bit of a slog, but playthrough 1 is just a solid time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is also when I conveniently forget you called, making your preferred method of communication incredibly slow compared to texting.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, they are lucky to have me. Instant access to me via phonecall is not one of the reasons, but that’s fine because they don’t need instant access via phonecall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dauntless is shutting down on May 29, 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aw. I get why this happens to games, but it’s still sad to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been fairly blatant for a while now. Theseig heil is coming out now that they feel they’ve won. The goal is for the US to fall this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s honestly fairly level headed for anyone. Make sure your loved ones aren’t making dramatic and life-altering changes without being sure they want it? Seems reasonable to me. Especially for a topic that is largely a muddled mystery for the average person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinner bell is going off⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Occasionally my partner will do that too. I’ve had it happen to me, like, twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Short answer is “propaganda”. News agencies against immigration will pretty regularly swap between “illegal immigrants”, “immigrants”, and <insert current target race here> as if they’re practically interchangable to build whatever narrative they want, and also to slowly build an association between ‘people of <insert race>’, ‘being a drain on society’, and ‘being here illegally’ to get the average person to side with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  2 years to maybe do something, 4 years maybe to maybe do something better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft announces studio closure as it lays off 185 staff⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the big “issue” is that there’s a notable lag between loss of goodwill and loss of income/profit/value, and there’s an even bigger lag between trying to fix goodwill and returns on that. It makes it too hard for any profit-first company to get right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Platformers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is the big contention point. In a world without a need for jobs, AI would be a neat alternative method of art generation, and a fascinating advancement of technology as a whole…

  but UBI is not yet real and jobs still need to be had. Without some form of life-securement for those who provided the art to be trained off of, we’re just using tech to really fuck people over. It’s definitely a moral grey area - very dark grey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was going to mention not washing your chicken, but the comments nail it. Don’t wash your chicken, the bacteria just spreads around your kitchen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it that clasped hands tends to be the norm for praying? 🙏⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And actions/motions needed to be exaggerated to fully come across.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A fake Nintendo lawyer is scaring YouTubers, and it’s not clear YouTube can stop him⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bruh nintendo seems starkly opposed to getting even ok at modern networking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there anything Lemmy has more/better content for than Reddit and other mainstream sites?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel you, man. Like, I appreciate what Linux is for, but the Linux content here is extremely blind to the average user’s use-case. It makes it hard to take suggestions and input seriously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TRIBES: The Most Influential FPS You (Probably) Never Played [video essay 52:59]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More likely it’s just an older game now with less popularity, and they expect their viewers to be the younger-ish crowd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with your premise, but we’re in a really fucked civilization right now where there’s a class of “elite” people who can make decisions that negatively affect the literal lives of millions without worry. We’re not in a fair or stable civilization right now, which is why so many people are on team “nah I hope this guy gets away with it”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨alpha⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shekel also sounds funny to us. It might be related to how it sounds kinda similar to shekel, but I think he’s just noting that the goofy-sounding name is real.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did browsers start being able to remember your previous session.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember doing similar. I would intentionally kill my browser/computer without gracefully shutting down the browser. Literally everything else I would go and shut down normally, browser needed to be crashed.
