yeah. wasnt trying to defend myself. I wanna be able to play what my friends are playing just a bit more than I want to stick to my ideals about how invasive videogames should be. im still mad about it anyway.
I was surprised to learn this a few days ago, and did end up buying it, but its still infuriating that the Devs seem to have chosen the absolute worst path possible for their stated goal of preventing players from artificially having their progression completed. This could've been solved in a multitude of different and less invasive ways
(I'm making this post so that people who love Lemmy can help me understand, not to hate. I want to love Lemmy)
I've been on Lemmy since the reddit migration and every day I dislike it more.
I never understand what people are talking about when they say they like Lemmy for the "closer community", most posts I see barely have any comments, and the ones that are there mostly look no different to what I used to see on Reddit.
the smaller community results in less posts about less topics, so it's difficult for me to find anything I'm interested in. on Reddit I could join dozens of videogame-specific or niche hobby subs and they'd all be at least a little active, here it seems the only posts I can get to show in my feed are environmental and big tech doomerism and occasionally some Linux discussion, with very few memes or otherwise just funny/easy posts. I like talking about Linux, sure, but I don't want a sinking feeling in my gut every time I wanna scroll idly.
there just seems to be a lot of toxicity here on top of everything. I'm constantly seeing people arguing or being rude about Linux opinions, big tech/privacy topics, etc. I worry it's a bit more of an echo chamber than reddit ever was for me as well. I feel there are just a lot of perspectives I'm not getting here.
I left reddit because I hate the business decisions they're making, but every day I get closer to going back. I don't want to support such a shitty company that treats users more like cattle than customers, but I'm struggling to adjust to Lemmy even all these months later.
sorry if this is harsh but this seems like kind of a waste of time when distrochooser.de exists? I think it'd make a ton of sense to link that in the sidebar but a wall of text (or a huge flow chart) is just gonna be skipped by the type of people who are asking what distro to use first instead of researching it themselves anyway. if someone's asking in a forum like Lemmy or even in discord servers, they usually just want quick answers. if we're gonna link them something instead of just saying "mint" or whatever, it should at least be something easily digestible like distrochooser.de
something like this happened to me once. well, they didnt untie my shoe exactly, it was more like they groped my ankle. no idea why. scared the shit outta me tho
to me this reads more like damage control. maybe it's just my bias from enjoying the franchise a lot, but the fact that unknown worlds is clarifying a statement made by their publisher with this language in it just smells like the publisher had no clue what was actually going on and wanted to leak something that "looked good" (from a business not consumer perspective)
all my excitement evaporated this morning when I found out this PvE P2P game has kernal level anticheat and is completly borked on Linux. the original didnt have any anticheat at all, and being a peer to peer game that imo was best played with friends, I think that system was ideal. very dissapointed about this rootkit
what the fuck? everyone I've seen in person and online has just rolled their eyes at this game, I thought I was part of a minorety for looking forward to it
