Thanks for the explanation!
I do not know the norms of shitpost communities, but as an outsider, I think it fits in perfectly.

Oh yeah, I do report every time now, but I still see way too many.
Am aware downvotes are not insults and I don’t report downvotes, but also aware a lot of people use them as a plain disagree button.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’ 1 day ago:
Luckily at the moment they have a lot more upvotes than downvotes. Probably because they are providing information and aside from the “you are stupid for breaking (a likely-predictable) TOS and expecting nothing to happen” judgment, it’s pretty neutral on passing judgment on the bigger argument at hand: whether this policy should be here in the first place.
I agree with your sentiment, at least, I think Lemmy unfortunately is too eager to namecall anyone who does not share the general popular opinions of the site, which is a shame because I often saw reasonable, civil takes that disagree with the popular opinion written out, and then a reasonable, civil reply to that disagreement… almost. The author just has to toss on some insult at the end. Feels bad to see. I clicked this post because I was genuinely interested in the news but I do have to avoid any kind of news around any big gaming corporation because I’m rather sick of nastiness in the comments, especially when backspacing on just one word per post would render the whole thing a rational discussion.
I say this as a member of the anti-corporate Lemmy hivemind, by the way.

I know Lemmy’s objection to most of these and I honestly dislike them too (oh no, brainwashed drone alert!), except: I wasn’t aware that Lemmy had something against a can of beans. Genuinely, could someone please explain? Is this a reference to something, or is it genuine dislike towards canned beans?

People on Restera did some digging: www.resetera.com/threads/…/post-141554013

Here is a monetization “cheat sheet” that the CEO posted on LinkedIn which is linked on Chosen’s main page if you scroll down: i.imgur.com/ztjS4K7.jpeg
In the CEO’s LinkedIn profile it says this:
Working closely with teams at NexusMods and beyond to build meaningful, sustainable experiences
If I had to guess the acquisition details are under some sort of NDA right now
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #19 4 days ago:
All I can say is that for the bad things in my life, I haven’t come to terms with them at all. I still consider them shitty and bad, even if I have found silver linings. I am not one of those “I am so glad X disaster happened to me because of Y positive outcome it led to” types, I’d rather not have had X happen at all, though of course I say that as someone who has not had such a big silver lining come of my negatives in life. The pain fades with time. I do not and will not feel obligated to come to terms with these things or accept them, it just happens to be that time means they take up less headspace and I do not dwell on them—a pretty similar end result to what I think most people who “come to terms” get. All this is to say: mourn, grieve, don’t feel obligated to act happy for others, and the “come to terms, get over it/see something positive” path will not always work for everyone and you can move on with life without taking that path.

Thanks again for your positive, takes-effort contributions to Lemmy!
- Comment on The magic of remembering—and talking about—video games 6 days ago:
Online is a good place to share all the games you liked. It is where I talk about singleplayer experiences with others.
In all honesty if they really are that niche you might not find people with similar experiences on Lemmy, just because we’re not a massive user base.
I don’t play cutting edge stuff with high spec requirements, so can’t relate to big barrier of entry, and the experience is usually similar between console and PC. The “definitive” edition of the game has not really ever mattered in my discussions, so I can’t relate to that either.
- Comment on Classic Gaming: Retro Gaming Growing Up 1 week ago:
I have definitely bonded with people over video games. Playing them together, or playing them apart but doing so physically side by side, talking about them… most social groups I’ve been, even when they were not formed around gaming at all, went and made a Minecraft server for us to play together. I think it is telling that the fastest way to get me to open a game and start playing is if my other friends are playing. I am younger than your generation, though, so I’m definitely not helping your argument for retro games specifically.
Online play has helped a lot for when I am physically separated from friends. Just hop in a game and voice chat, and play together anyways.

Stupid person checking in. What counts as hacked? I recognize ROPs are not the same as full system control.

- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 1 week ago:
Most charitable interpretation: social pressure to get others to not buy, thereby hurting Nintendo just that bit more. I can say I was planning on buying a Switch at one point, but all these comments and news posts about anticompetitive practices have turned me away and slotted me in the “not buying” category.
Somewhat charitable interpretation: maybe venting outrage? Frustration at being the little guy in this situation who can’t do much? If you hate homelessness you can go volunteer at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter, but if you hate these rising prices not much I’m aware of that you can do besides raging online and hoping you turn others away from buying. Although to be fair, you just proposed some things.
I don’t care too much about virtue signaling. What bothers me is people getting nasty and personal, and unfortunately that often happens in Company Does Bad Thing comment sections, so I’ve learned not to click on them. I should probably change that to big company news at all. Thanks for not being awful to me in this discussion, I was half-convinced I should remove the comment you replied to too to avoid someone engaging with me in an unpleasant manner. But I get how virtue signaling can annoy others.

I’m curious to see if copy/pasting that on your end will look correct on my end, even if it looks wrong for you.

I helped a friend with exactly one puzzle, and thought the artstyle was cool. Am browsing this thread because I’ve heard about the hype and want to see if I ought to check it out myself.

On the plus side, the virtue signalers saved $ and can spend it on something that’ll bring them more joy and is hopefully more aligned with their views.
…I have thought about it and it is interesting that “virtue signal” is such a dirty word now. When I say “please” and “thank you” I’m essentially just virtue signaling that I’m willing to play nice, but nobody calls me the bad word for that.

- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 1 week ago:
I have definitely not played that many games. I remember a good deal of my Nintendo DS excursions. I tend to stick on a few games till I beat them. I don’t have an astounding memory, but if a game is mentioned I’ll remember if I played it or not and that is good enough for me. If I forget a good experience, well, that’s another opportunity to have it for the “first time”, a la that old tumblr post about wanting to be able to selectively erase your memory so you could re-experience your favorite book for the first time.

That’s interesting! What are you on? I use Lemmy from the browser only.

Thanks for adding community links!
At least for me, they shove me over to lemmy.world. I suspect you may have clicked the autofill suggestion, which includes the instance in the link and thus forces all users who click onto your instance. If you don’t do that and just write
!communityname@instancename, it will let people click the link and go to the community on their instance, so they can interact instead of just browsing. I see you’re from Emmy.world.!videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip should let you see from lemmy.world and interact and comment and vote and the like. !videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip (I clicked the autofill this time, it produced
[!videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip](https://lemmy.zip/c/videogamesuggestions)) will just toss you onto my instance, lemmy.zip. - Comment on [Announcement] The community and its future 2 weeks ago:
The screenshots frustrated me too, because I’ve seen that done before where it’s a daily screenshot and nothing else, feels low-effort and annoying and somehow spammy even if it’s still on topic. Then I actually clicked one and saw the thoughts. They belong here. Wish there was a simple way for the poster to communicate to people like me who are tired of the low-effort “screenshot a day” stuff that these are more than those and have actual words and effort with them.
- Comment on [Announcement] The community and its future 2 weeks ago:
If we’re doing individual games, there are so many but off the top of my head !stardewvalley@lemm.ee, !pokemon@lemm.ee, !workersandresources@lemmy.world, !cities_skylines@lemmy.world, and I guess !touhou@ani.social even though that is mostly just reposts of other peoples’ art of the characters and nothing else because in the end, it is a video game series.
- Comment on [Announcement] The community and its future 2 weeks ago:
If we’re adding gaming communities to the sidebar, my list here of gaming genre-specific communities could be helpful.
Can testify to activity of !automationgames@lemmy.zip and !otomegames@ani.social as their mod, to !incremental_games@incremental.social as someone with an account there (even if you do not see it from this side, federation issues…), and to !visualnovels@ani.social, !shmups@lemmus.org, !cozygames@lemmy.world, and !lifesimulation@lemmy.world someone subbed to them. The others might also have activity, I sometimes post to the others on the list I am not subbed to if I come across a game in their genre, but I don’t remember off the top of my head.
