Nothing fucks you harder than time. -Ser Davos
Probably 3/4 of my steam library are games that remain unplayed, and that I purchased with no intention to ever play.
…but that $5 was WELL worth the one game in the bundle that I actually cared about.
Sometimes the bundle is even less expensive than just getting the one game, specially if you already own part of the bundle
What kind of shithole country can you buy for 19 billion? I’d rather have games.
The USA, Trump will do anything for a buck, he’s President Whore.
That’s disrespectful to whores, sex work is real work
What word did you use after “disrespectful to”? I see it as “removed” and I’m wondering if my Lemmy instance censors it
Okay actually using context clues from a comment below, it might be “removed”?
I’m gonna use this comment to test if my instance is censoring words. Great Lemmy gods, please don’t ban me for this
removed
Cunt
removed
Fuck
Shit
What about Putler?
What word did you use after “President”? I see it as “removed” and I’m wondering if my Lemmy instance censors it
Change instances immediately. That’s insane.
Instance doesn’t matter when you join Lemmy.
The instance:
Wow. I thought it might’ve been the community rather than my instance, but now I’m thinking not. You can see my swears and those of the guy I asked about the swears, right? Or do they appear as “removed” for you too?
Yup! Unfortunately, .ml is a default instance and it is rather authoritarian and censored.
It’s the word that starts with a W and means a person who will do something for money. W, H, O, R, E
You should use a different instance if it’s censoring words.
I don’t think he got 19 billion for selling out the US. He’s more the 50 cent crack whore type.
You can buy a whole lot of politicians with that kind of money.
Bought two tonight and haven’t even plugged in the Steam Deck to get enough charge to download them, much less play them.
(Complete TellTale Walking Dead for $5? Damn right I’ll remember that…)
This is a pillar of pride for us. We are literally creating jobs 😆
And yet they’ll grip that game right out of your library whenever they want to. The world that people complain about is the world they go wrong with. Once the fuckery started, that’s when I stopped giving these companies money. I haven’t bought a video game for probably decades.
Made a steam family with my friends so atleast someone can enjoy my library
I’ve got a Steam family going with my siblings and it makes me feel significantly better about my backlog, because even if I don’t get to it there’s probably something for everyone in the mix somewhere. Plus every now and again it’s nice to break out a random indy game that nobody’s played and just collectively suck together.
I feel attacked
I bought rdr2 and had trouble with the constant horse riding so I put a pin in it until later… Much later
Humble bundle made me do it!
Most of my unplayed games have at least funded wikipedia or some charity.
I feel attacked
- Decide you want game
- Add it to wish list
- Seam tells you it’s for sale 80% off
- Buy game
- Wait till you feel like playing that genre and no other games you want to play even more are sitting unplayed in your backlog
- Play “unplayed” game
Why is this a problem?
unpopular(?) opinion: RDR2 is a boring graphic novel deceptively advertised as an open world FPS. The pacing is slow, the gunplay is garbage, and the core ‘gameplay’ loop is just a chain of unskippable CGI. I bought it based on the reviews, played for about an hour while experiencing an increasing sensation of buyers remorse. Never again. It’s the last game I bought without pirating it first to see if its any good.
If you play on PC you can mitigate a lot of the slow/survival aspects with mods
I quite like it. Once you get used to the timings of actions you can be quite fast and fluid in combat and it’s good enough to carry the game by itself, much better gunplay than gta. And the story is not the worst, though it is a slog occasionaly. Graphics do a lot of heavy lifting
That’s how Gaben manages to own a yacht collection while most of us can barely afford both housing and food!
You can probably afford the “Yacht Simulator VR” though
