Fire cleanses all

This was me too. I know I would love it if I gave it the time but my first few playthroughs didn’t catch me right away. Couldn’t get into the game loop

Real next gen stuff

Some dumbass

My 2 cents is that the reason no one switches is nothing is innovative anymore but we are fairly addicted so its not like we’re going to demand innovation. If there’s was some cool new “swipe right” or “get notified when friends are online” type thing then people would check it out. But all the cool stuff has been innovated already and now switching to a new thing isn’t enticing because its the same stuff we all have just moved around differently. Nobody cares about the backend stuff

basically accusing Lemmy of being controlled by marketing PR teams

You accused me of being dramatic but then discredit what I said with an overly dramatic take like that.

That is not what I said.

Because people that are posting comments like yours aren’t adding anything

That also is not true. They do add their thoughts and observations which is what I thought these forums were suppose to be about. These are communities that should be for users. What I said I observed is suspicious because it happens only in places like r/marvel or other sub reddits that are heavily controlled by PR teams. Posts are made, people give their honest opinions, posts get deleted. I have been seeing it more and more.

These marketing teams are the reason all these social media sites fail. Lemmy is unique right now because lots of us learned from reddit. The issue isn’t posting a sale you like. The issue is censoring and hiding what the community really thinks and manipulating these spaces so its favorable to whatever marketing team pay the most.

You said other users have said similar. It tells me there might be something to pay attention to if people really want Lemmy to stay as honest and community focused as it is right now.

That dynamic changes when its not organic. what I wrote about is not talking about regular users posting things they are interested in. My issue is when companies take over platforms and control discussion and content. This is what happened to reddit and most other social media platforms.

As far as I can tell, a lot of people here are conceded about avoiding pitfalls that ruined reddit. The biggest pitfall reddit succumbed too was focusing on attracting advertisers and marketeers over reddit. If having a discussion about that is dramatic then so be it. But makes me curious why you are concerned about stifling that conversation

Hey so I’m not the only one. I was saying in another comment that I saw hype posts for sales were people didn’t get hype. The posts got deleted. I think Lemmy is starting to get marketing teams controlling content like reddit.

I’m worried Lemmy has the same marketing teams in it that destroyed reddit.

I just saw a post yesterday trying to hype these sales that instead had honest opinions. Then the post gets deleted. I assume because we all weren’t swooning

Not sure if people are not bothered by that type of manipulation of these platforms or not but it bothers me so much to see legit opinions and views get crushed by PR teams.

Welcome to the game 2

Duskers

Games are shit for a lot of us. But this YouTube is trying to tailgate with their own nonesense

Wouldn’t you ignore an article that said modern gaming is dead because its facism/made by Nazis/car head’s

Same buzzword bullshit that let’s you know the creator of whatever it is, is in too deep

I’d like to get into this but I just didn’t find the initial gameplay good enough to get me into the game loop. I’m sure one day I’ll give it time. But right now I didn’t get what was fun

For all young padawans, back in the day we got legit 90% off brand new games. I’d spend $100 and get 2, 4 month old games and the rest would be sweet under $5 deals. And deals were every hour. So if you missed a sale you could miss out on a massive sale. It was a legit event that earned the hype. Then they brought in refunds and people abused it. But sales back in the day were fun

$2.75 off a 6 year old game.

MUH WALLET CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE

I remember hitting a point when I realized how insane it is the most media will solve all problems with guns. Like it makes more sense why the culture cherishes guns after becoming aware how weird it is.

Real nice unique looking game too. Gameplay is good but the look and feel you can tell was a lot of effort and thought and love. Definitely glad I made the purchase especially after seeing this post. Cool dev

That's true. I think that's just what I'm trying to say. Unions are best for most jobs but are not great for all jobs. And they do have s lot of problems younger people might not realize. Some unions are bad for stiffing younger members giving work to older more experienced guys while younger guys pay the same dues. They can become the same shit different structure. So I'm not saying don't unionize. But I am saying make sure the union serves its members and does not become just another thing that fucks you.

In the end I prefer things like cooperatives over unions but we're a long way from there. But they also suffer the same old boys club. In the end I think we overlook that we're all just evil corporation's without power and money. In the end we should look at the culture itself because there's a reason corruption is king

I would be worried the Union management isn't corrupt though.
