  No.

  This is not what Discord is for.

  People need to stop trying to use Discord as a forum, or a wiki, or a website, or a file repo, or as the Support page for a product.

  Discord is group chat. You say something. It’s relavent for five minutes. Then it might as well have never happened.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably for the best. The Deck certification process on games would probably be annoying if they had a whole bunch of revisions with only like 10% difference in performance.

  Wait a few years and make the next one a meaningful jump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft estimated Valve’s revenue in 2021 at $6.5bn Interesting to see another view on the scale of Valve’s business⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Valve pockets 30% of almost every PC game sale by every company ever.

  Honestly, I’m surprised that number isn’t higher.

  I mean… I get that it’s the thing to do right now – haphazardly throwing more money than you can afford at every service, streamer, Patreon, Kickstarter, product or vague idea that you pledge your “support” to. Then five minutes later, complaining about how you don’t have enough money for food/housing/whatever; and blaming someone else for that.

  I probably spend $100 or less per year on games, and I’ve got plenty to keep me busy until I’m a corpse.

  BG3 looks like a good game. I’ll play it when I get around to it. And by that time, it’ll be far cheaper than $60.

  Being angry at someone for saving some money on something that you paid full price on, though? That’s definitely a way to approach things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 2 will be "chonky," with fixes for performance issues and other issues⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a big reason why I checked out of console gaming for many, many years. I went from the original NES to the PS2. And I made a specific point to buy the disc version of my PS5 so I could still get dirt cheap used games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 2 will be "chonky," with fixes for performance issues and other issues⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Truthfully? No game is worth $60-70.

  Especially when that same game costs $30 a year later.

  I’ve never paid full price for any videogame.

  Patient Gaming wins again.

  Keeps patching. I’m looking forward to a fun $20-30 game.

  “Wake has a double.”

  So they’re still using the American Nightmare stuff?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The recent criticism of Linus Tech Tips, explained⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  While I don’t mind LTT videos every now & then for entertainment value, I tried listening to their WAN Show podcast recently.

  Holy crapballs, do they lean harrrrd into their merch.

  To the point where (I think?) you need to buy something from them to get a question read on the podcast(?)
