Your concerns are valid since text is hard to interpret due to lack of inflection, context, and other intonation indicators. I try to remember to use tone tags but don’t always.
Thank you for your thoughtful responses and engagement, though. Good faith discussion is an important thing on the web, and is a large part of why I like Lemmy over Reddit and other centralized social media sites. I appreciate you for that and adding to the constructiveness and positivity :) /gen

My apologies, this community is generally memey/jokey in tone, and was going with that. /gen
I’m also firing off dumb comments at like 2 am where I am, lol. Please do not take my short soundbites (text bites?) seriously.
On a more serious note, one billion dollars is a legitimately unfathomable amount of wealth and, by extension, unilateral power. That’s a dangerous thing for any one person to hold, regardless of how kind their heart is since it means the use of that power is dependent on the whims of one person.
Corporations are also, by their nature, driven by a profit motive. A corporation can do non-evil, customer-friendly things but that can also change very quickly. It’s important to differentiate between beneficial behavior and altruism.
Also, I typically don’t expect people to read me soapboxing unsolicited under a green text meme lol.
Also also, I am quite appreciative of the benefits of Valve’s efforts. I just don’t assume they’re purely doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. Nor do I expect/demand them to.

Steam is not a bad company but it is still a company that holds a lot of power, don’t forget that.

My esteemed internet peer, if the genders were different it would still be just as funny to stick in the group chat and roast the original sender.
Like, at least own it lol and lean into the “party organizer” role you just set up for yourself.

Precordial catch. More common when you’re younger but hoo boy do they hurt like a motherfucker. Fortunately they’re harmless.

More terrifying than any eldritch horror, clearly.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 1 week ago:
Bind one of the back buttons to tilde (~) and then pull up your steam keyboard, if you’re talking about console cheats (like in Skyrim or Fallout).

Their mom probably also is weirdly particular about certain textures “for no reason at all” 👀
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 2 weeks ago:
Lack of accessibility options, not unlike you.
Most games are better about this now, but subtitles, difficulty options, and the ability to turn off flashing lights are critical to the point I can’t play for long, sometimes at all without them.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 2 weeks ago:
Unskippable cutscenes absolutely need to die. Even on the first playthrough - give me the info I need in a notes section or something, but do not waste my limited time on this coil with slow “exposition.”
I usually quit those when they get too grating and move on, but it’s frustrating nonetheless.

The last person who said something nice to him is whoever’s side he’s on, example 5829583920.
Mamdani is awesome anyway, but it’s amusing to see.
