Here's to hoping all the narcissistic types who lash out at anything that even slightly inconveniences them (cough Reddit protests cough) stay there.

That's essentially what the episodes were. It was supposed to be revolutionary like 1, 2, and Alyx were. Episodic games were going to be the future of gaming for a hot minute.

$40 off? That's a steal!

Why would they need to reply to every post? I think most of them would take maybe 10 seconds to validate.

There is a difference between developing a console exclusive game and making a multi-platform game exclusive. Spider-Man was ALWAYS planned as an exclusive (and initially offered to Xbox who turned it down).

Nobody is saying Halo should be on Playstation. Nobody is saying Mario should be on PC.

Just because you disagree with my point of view doesn't mean it's a "strawman" or "arbitrary". I think your opinion is fair, but I don't agree with it for the reasons I already stated.

RES + developer tools worked for me to delete them until my profile ran out of comments. But a quick Google search found that a bunch of my comments are still there, they just don't show up in my profile.

I don't feel dirty. Just sad for the people still over there. At this point I just log in once a day to vote for protest supporter and see what the status is. Then come back to here and Mastadon.

Some of my favorite subs over have gone full toxic and have completely removed my desire to go there. Just total hatred toward being inconvenienced, which is sad on its own that people are so desperate to be submissive. Not understanding that the only reason the protests failed was because they already decided (and then therefore invested in) the protest failing.

Other subs are still voting overwhelmingly to protest in any way possible. But the amount of gaslighting by shills (possible astroturfing) is wild. Every sub has tons of people saying "nobody cares" despite people voting otherwise.

I only owned Twisted Metal III and Twisted Metal (2012). So to me, TM3 WAS Twisted Metal and I loved it.

That's the thing for me. Complete disdain for contributors. So if they don't want my 180k Karma worth of content, then so be it.

Thanks! I just deleted every comment available on my profile. But I can see there's more. Hopefully this makes it easier

7R and 15 were both heavily action-focused games, and I quite enjoyed those.

Interesting that you mentioned these. 15 is pretty widely considered to be pretty mediocre, while 7R is widely considered to be high tier.

I didn't care for either, but I loved XVI's from the demo. They really made it just complicated enough to not be repetitive like XV's. You mention it not being God of War, but honestly that's a pretty decent comparison IMO.

The number of people who died was newsworthy. The fact people have become so desensitized to migrant deaths is just more reason to cover it.

Since it kept going, it's implied that they did it. Nice.

Omegamanthethird, 11 months ago

It isn't going to die. It's just gonna go stagnant like Facebook. It's just gonna be doomscrollers and bots that scrape content and post the latest news.

From a user on that post "it seems the majority of us want the subreddit open"

I've seen a lot of extreme aggressive shilling and astroturfing. But now we're getting into straight gaslighting.

I tried to use their app. Even with tinkering I could only view 4 posts on a page (compared to about 10 on RIF). Of those 4, 1 was an ad and another was a "promoted" post. So really, I could only see 2 of my subbed posts. It looked like Facebook.

Omegamanthethird, 11 months ago

I'm keeping it for some specific topic subs. But even then I'm finding myself engaging mostly with Lemmy and Mastadon. Just unsubbing from the large doomscroll subs has curbed 90% if my desire to go there. It takes about 30 seconds to see anything new for the day.

I've seen A LOT of pro corporate bootlicking "fuck the mods" posts and comments. I don't know if it's astroturfing or just that so many of the people who actually care left. But a lot of subs have turned horribly toxic and aggressively anti-empathetic.

It's made it REALLY easy to cut out some like the NFL sub. My sub list is now small enough that I can check it once a week and be fine, kinda like Facebook.

As a gamer, there's a lot of good tips sitting on there. I was just looking up info for the Final Fantasy V mode FF5FJF. Most of the results gave Reddit, and the FF5FJF sub is locked. It was one of those small impactful moments.

Omegamanthethird, 11 months ago

One of my favorite subs went aggressively pro-shill. Not just "you did your best". But nothing except contempt and endless mockery.

I would say it's astroturfing. But previously a gaming sub had gone dark for a mere 24 hours as a statement about toxicity and the response was similar.

I love seeing Texas ranked early. That means that they won’t even make a bowl.
