- Comment on Roblox Accused Of Allowing Sexual Exploitation In Four Separate Lawsuits 2 weeks ago:
I never played Roblox and tend to be fairly out of the loop, and even I have heard about Roblox in connection with child exploitation. Hope those kids eventually get justice and their predators prevented from harming them.
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 2 weeks ago:
Is this a game where I could reasonably discover how to progress by myself, as an average adult human with no special knowledge of history or technological progression? Or will I need to resort to a wiki? I’m cool with either but curious
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 2 weeks ago:
Curious what the point of modern Minecraft is, and what part is appealing to modern people. I pop on sometimes purely because friends are playing, and it can be fun.

Clicked on this thread purely to see if someone would bring up Minetest/Luanti. Glad to hear it seems to be going well.

I really miss the days guides were text with images instead of YouTube, YouTube, YouTube. Blah blah typical Lemmy anticorporate views, but more importantly, I’d rather just read and have something I can CTRL+F instead of having to sit through a video. At least transcripts help.

Thanks for the explanation!
I do not know the norms of shitpost communities, but as an outsider, I think it fits in perfectly.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’ 2 weeks ago:
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’ 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’ 3 weeks ago:
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?

- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #19 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.

- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 4 weeks 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.
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 4 weeks ago:
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? 4 weeks 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.
