Jesus Christ, if true, what the holy incompetence.
Steam said I have 173.9 hours in Hollow Knight. Then I clicked play, clicked abort launch, and now it says 16.1 hours. The in-game display, which is actually accurate, shows 30.7 hours.
It doesn’t count offline playtime (or at least it didn’t in the past). So most of my playtime for Half Life, Half Life 2, Celeste, Slime Rancher, and some others I played mostly while traveling is in invisible. Except people online say it’s still tracked for the refund policy lol. I suspect there might be a weird interaction with the case where the steam deck dies when a game is paused in sleep mode.
Anyways not really related to the post I just wanted to rant about this because the time tracker is weird and kind of annoying
and a gobsmacking negative review of Sea of Thieves despite that 2,000 hours of playtime.
Oh damn, he’s one of those people… Sounds like the worst charge so far
I am more concerned that he logged like 3 work weeks worth of time playing “power washing simulator”
I play space truck sim. Sometimes you just wanna chill and press clunky buttons. Do some really low stakes slow shit. I’m old though.
It’s such a nice game to just chill and talk to friends
People under capitalism are so alienated from their work that they escape to something as mundane as Power Washing Simulator. Having a stable job with a modicum of satisfaction and control is a power fantasy nowadays.
Work in HVAC, I go home and play project zomboid. My fantasy is that everyone stops needing me and I can stay inside on a Tuesday and just read and eat sphaghetti straight out of the can.
The fuckheads in office are searching for stuff they can blame. It’s couldn’t possibly because he was a right wing nutjob. Oh no it must be video games! Time to start cracking down on that now!
Dumb fucks…
right-wing nutjob
Didn’t he directly criticize Kirk as being hateful shortly before the shooting? Where’s this coming from?
Agreed that Steam is a really stupid place to be looking for anything of substance.
Well, maybe the fact that he left a negative review for a game he has over 2000 hours in signifies derangement on some level, if not political, lol.
Do you mean those totally legit messages that totally didn’t sound like it was a mix of someone from the 60s and cop speak? Or did he criticize somewhere else?
“I would like to remain unseen,” said the Genzer
It’s supposed to paint the “Games turn people violent” narrative, nothing else.
This dude could have 2000 hours on Animal Crossing and they’d still find a wayJesus Christ this is a more wholesome list of games played than I’ve seen in most children’s accounts. Deep Rock Galactic? I’m kinda believing that he actually wasn’t a lunatic right.
I look like a deranged violent psychopath with play time comparisons.
I am telling you that there is proof video games effect people. Ever notice how most people born in the 80s grew up and all became plumbers? I mean sure all the competition has driven costs down for all of us and with just a little work you can find a plumber that will do the work for free, but a lot of these plumbers can no longer support their families and are forced to live in sewers and fight turtles for food.
affect.
You affect things. Things have an effect.
This is the one rule I get wrong every time
also you effect an effect
Isn’t English great?
Lifehack: just use the word impact instead.
You’d probably want to use a colon instead of a comma there.
Thanks. I never really got a good grasp on colon usage or the more nefarious semicolon.
And the turtle with the stick is super OP compared to the rest.
But all of them have trouble swimming around dams.
there is proof video games effect people
Holy shit they can give birth now?
The trick to using effect/affect is to use them interchangeably and at random, then you’re bound to be right sometime. Or panic and use “impact” instead, like a coward.
Or you only ever use one spelling, to the same effect… :p
Kinda what I do, I am dyslexic and if spell check says it’s good I tend to miss that it is the wrong spelling of the word.
It’s like scone and scone. I’ll swap pronunciation mid sentence, just to throw people.
you know what we should make our own variation on the pastry and pronounce it scuhn
That the dude had shit taste in games.
What’s your favorite game?
Shadowman 64
At least it wasn’t Superman 64. I would question your sanity if it was.
With Acclaim coming back from the dead I would like to get Shadowman 3. I dare not hope.
The game was released for Nintendo 64 on August 31, 1999
Well, gramps, every game mentioned in that article has mostly positive reviews on Steam. Have you considered that you’re just set in your ways and clinging to what you enjoyed last century? lol
You aren’t actually defending Sea of Thieves are you?
I know it got a bump when Skull and Bones crashed out the gate. But come on dude.
So much for privacy, Trump is spying on all of our online accounts.
There was never privacy.
I mean if you murder somebody, you should probably expect your privacy to be violated somewhat.

You can’t “spy” on public profiles.
Jesus Christ, if true, what the holy incompetence.
Nothing incompetent about it. Just evil this time.
They want a profile of the guy. They want to sell him as a left-wing extremist. They’ll outright lie about it if they have to–they mostly have already–but lies work better when they’re based on some level of truth.
That’s because 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who was charged earlier this week with murdering Kirk at a speaking event last week, reportedly used Donald Trump’s name as an alias on the Valve-owned gaming storefront at one point. Sources told Bloomberg the reference to the president is what led to the Secret Service’s involvement despite the Homeland Security agency having no role in protecting Kirk at the time of the assassination.

1.) If you didn’t vote in '22 or '24 and legally had the ability to do so, you’re not a Liberal or Progress, full stop.
2.) No Liberal or Progressive would want to be associated with Trump, even ironically for the “lols”.
Specifically looking at the games he played, his name will show up constantly as:
Donald Trump was fragged by X. Donald Trump was stabbed by Y. X was splattered by Donald Trump.
Kill feeds, it’s an old joke for gamers. Obama splattered Miley Cyrus, that kind of shit. I don’t think ‘2.)’ is accurate, at all.
He bagged some transgender baddie and it turned a God-fearing conservative white boy into a radical sleeper cell leftist assasin. That’s why they are trying to keep us transgender girlies down…
They know that we would be to OP if they just let us live in peace.
Sometimes the Stochastic Terrorism boomerangs.
This is exactly what intelligent people have been saying for years would happen.
Some MAGAt, primed for violence, finally figures out they’ve been lied to for 10 years & decided to put that penchant for violence to use.
Both of Trump’s would-be assassins were registered Republicans.
People who play Powerwash Simulator are not to be trusted.
Especially if more than 100 hours
How DARE you! … I mean, you’re not wrong but…
Are there even guns in sea of theives? At best I would think flintlocks. But its not like the guy became a pirate, yo ho.
It was a muzzle loaded flintlock 30-06 caliber smooth bore rifle
With a barrel shroud, you know… the shoulder thing that goes up.
*military-grade assault flintlock
The evangelicals supporting trump are responsible for the recent mastercard debacle to remove steam games. I wouldn’t be surprised if they start into a new wave “video games cause violence” bullshit.
Also I thought the kid seemed fairly normal but him being a SoT sicko makes me wonder.
but I’m not sure what 2,000 hours in Sea of Thieves is supposed to tell us
Criminally insane.
Well the dude was definitely mentally ill if youre looking at that.
DRG? Wanna bet he’s a scout main? That rifle with extra weak shot damage buff, ya know?
