  • Have you ever made an impulse purchase that you can't really explain or remember why you made the decision? Do you regret it?

    Jump

  • For much of my adult life I’ve been very careful and considered with most big purchases. I have a friend that is not though, and it worries me. He is definitely not in a life situation where he can afford random impulses, and it can take him less than a day to regret an impulse buy, even before it’s shipped to him. I keep trying to ask for reasoning, and it offends him each time.

  • Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated)

    Jump

  • ...I mean, yes, which is why I lead with those 4 words. I'm hoping nobody is making critical stock bets based on Lemmy comments. It's more of a "nice possibility" to make us hopeful we can buy PCs sometime.

  • The Helldivers 2 Community needs to get a fucking grip on itself

    Jump

  • I have REALLY gotten sick of the "git gud" crowd.

    I've recently been playing Tormented Souls 2. It has a good number of weapons to it, but some contention about ammo scarcity. I pointed out that while using your melee weapon on enemies, and using iframes, is technically viable, even if you're really good at it, it becomes really samey and boring.

    Someone immediately jumped on me as having a "skill issue", and copy-pasting the generic "developer shouldn't be forced to make the game your way" argument from every Dark Souls discussion.

    Somehow, difficulty has become so entwined with masculine ego that people cannot seem to judge criticism of a game that has anything to do with its specific level of challenge.

  • We seriously need to give up on the sarcastic, parodic pro-capitalist games, and go back to ripping heads off of virtual fascists.

  • The Most Accurately Predicted Genocide in History. No One Cares About Sudan. It Doesn't Matter How Many Sudanese Are Massacred. We Have Overwhelming Evidence.

  • And even then, you can't talk to half the US.

  • Even if most real people would be happy, you can bet Israel, Russia, and the RSF + allies would astroturf the hell out of a "How dare America, evil world police, expansionist imperialism" campaign. And, just like how much of America is stupid, many people globally will believe it. It has happened before.

  • You got me, they're actually a set of goalposts with a sheet over them - but it appears someone moved them.

    Jump

  • One vague rumor suggested the memory pricing hill might be leveling off; sadly Valve might be paying upfront for it still, but at least it won’t get worse.

  • Virginia moves to forbid schools from teaching that Jan. 6 was peaceful

    Jump

  • Hey, it’s rare to see someone admit they were wrong these days. Happy to see it.

    Jump

  • Historians might say more of history is contested than we might realize. In my lifetime, I learned that Thomas Edison was a brilliant inventor who made the light bulb through perseverance; not a ruthless businessman who stole ideas from interns and sabotaged Nikola Tesla.

    So, it may be best not to codify things into law if they have even the slightest chance for debate. Hence why Germany made laws against denying the holocaust specifically.

  • Fictional worlds, which tbf is where we spend most of our time.

  • Games you've given honest tries for and just don't find fun

    Jump

  • Same with Roguelikes. To try to tune up their playtime, they always seem to ramp up the difficulty curve to hell and back. I'm okay with games that eventually get hard as you adjust to mechanics, but so many of them just frontload giant walls of difficulty and insisting you need to "find the right abusive build".

    I've had the Roguelike tag blocked on Steam, only picked up a few that were able to market themselves past that aspect.

  • Pragmata is releasing a whole week earlier than planned because who cares, it's got April all to itself

    Jump

  • I'm not incredibly invested in the story or whatever father/daughter dynamic the game implies, but I did kind of enjoy the gunplay and the boss fight presented in the demo. Still, I haven't been invested much into full-price games lately, saving what I can to help the myriad global victims of Project 2025, so no matter how good a job they did on this one, I'll probably wait for a sale.

  • Arc Raiders was accidentally recording Discord conversations into an unencrypted local game file

    Jump

  • It's a good point around the recent CA age verification laws: Sensitive data (is this user a potential target for predators?) can't be leaked if it was never recorded in the first place.

  • Should I buy a used Steam Deck for Forza Horizon 5 and potentially FH6?

    Jump

  • I’ve been okay with games that released targeting the PS4 generation, which is still a very wide net including many games released in the last few years. I finished AC: Odyssey on my Deck for instance.

  • What phrases/sentences instantly reveal someone as a chud?

    Jump

  • Fits pretty neatly with the word “humble” - it should only be said externally.

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • Burn Notice, at least the first 2-3 seasons.

    It has an overarching plot, but it only spends about 5 minutes an episode on it. To serve that plot, Michael Westen, ex-spy, must solve a problem each episode for ordinary victims across Miami using trickery and con tactics.

    It always evoked a bit of Macgyver-style creative feel in me. Sadly, the story and the actors went downhill with time. (For that matter, Macgyver is a lot of fun in spite of being an oldie. There’s some kind of remake which I never bothered with)

  • Spain's Pedro Sánchez hits back at Trump threat to sever trade saying 'no to war'

    Jump

  • I’m wondering if the speech was delivered in Spanish, and it’s four words in a given delivery.
