Reddit was down. I also occasionally come back when I’ve burned through all the articles on Reddit to see if anything different pops up here, and then I see shit like Vegans nutritionally starving their pets and people getting their comments removed for not capitalizing someone pronouns correctly when I come back. Sometimes theres extra shit to read here, so I’ll probably keep coming back when I’ve drained reddit of content, but this shit reminds me why I’ve decided to deal with Reddits BS first before Lemmy’s

Yep, this shit is part of why I gave up and went back to reddit. The extreme stances here are too fucking normal

We have piracy for if Steam fails, GoG and Itch’d probably jump at the chance to take some of Steams happy customer base as well if Steam falls from grace post GabeN

This is my stance to people who have the Epic Games Launcher for the free games… Fuckin Black Flag is cleaner ethically than Epic Games

It really is mind boggling that they are attempting to compete first mover bonus with inferior products (I’m aware GPD was doing this for YEARS before Steam moved in, but Steam is like apple moving into a product category)

Oh yeah, Steam’s software is amazing in its own right, but MAN, all of these competitors are failing right out of the gate by only giving us thumbsticks to emulate mouses with

NONE of them have touchpads either. I dont understand why these high end computer companies are trying to sell a laptop that doesnt have even a single touchpad

NONE of them have the dual touchpads the steamdeck has either. Fucking seriously… Even if having to deal with windows wasnt a dealbreaker for me, having only thumbsticks to control a computer with is a hard pass for me

Pretty sure social norms are better now than they were back when Luddites got their name associated with being against technological progress

Yeah, but the dot com bubble didnt kill the internet entirely, and the video game bubble that prompted nintendo to create its own quality seal of approval didnt kill video games entirely. This fad, when it dies, already has useful applications and when the bubble pops, those applications will survive

So, do textiles machines not exist anymore? It doesnt sound like them burning down factories stopped the textile factories in the long run

How does using free software to play dress up with anime characters bankrupt me financially?

Which is why the term Luddite has never been more accurate than since it first started getting associated with being behind on technological progress

Hey man, I like playing ASCII graphics indies on my 2k gaming tower with its wireless rgb keyboard. I can be gaudy and tasteless abd still mostly avoid graphically intense games

Rimworld and AI gen are why I need to upgrade my Tower again

Someone who wouldnt realise that that definition applies to both insults isnt the greatest at reading comprehension

So if he phrased it as “The kind of person who would ask a question like this is a dumbass” not be immature name calling? Becuase that’d successfully not cross this weird line in the sand you’ve drawn

How is idiot not immature name calling, but dumbass is?

Why do they need to release for the newest version? If they were going to release soon anyways, just release for the old version of Fallout.

I mean you do you, but Beth games are modding playgrounds, the only other games I can think of really is Rimworld. So for me, playing a Bethesda game modless is like eating a sandwhich of white bread and mayo
