“Xbox XP will be headed by Kayleen Walters, who previously spent a couple years as president of Minecraft studio Mojang and before that spent close to a decade in different brand and “franchise development” roles at Microsoft. Prior to that she spent 13 years at Lucasfilm, finishing her time there as vice president of franchise marketing and integrated planning.”

That’s disaster waiting to happen, all in that one paragraph. So you’re going to have someone spearheading this, who only knows Minecraft and Marketing. Yeah, good fucking job there, idiots. There is nothing there that speaks of being a director, a producer or even having a hand working staff behind a film. Just an annoying marketer who’s going to shove this shit down our throats. Wonderful.

Not to mention some of them require admin approval so that’s a dealbreaker.

So, saying ‘nobody uses X’ is a bit of a stretch considering that whenever it’s said, there’s proof to the contrary that people use said thing. People use lemmy at times, but the problem is as it has been pointed out before many times, is that lemmy is still too niche and small when compared to larger platforms.

One of the big reasons I can think of is, is that Lemmy just doesn’t have the span of community as someplace like Reddit does. You’re not going to find a Darts lemmy instance, you’re not going to find a MentalHealth lemmy instance or anything. On Reddit, there’s hundreds of micro-communities that cover a range of interests that anybody can join and talk about.

Lemmy only seems to focus on just a handful of things; Politics, Memes, Games, Piracy, Linux, News, Technology and Asking Questions. That’s great and all but, just about anyone has these in spades. Not everyone wants to cycle through those things on a daily basis, they’ll want something more. But it’s going to turn people off from Lemmy immediately when they migrate from Reddit.

Yeah sure, we can tell them to make an instance to cover that niche itch, but once it’s built, it can be months to even years before it gets attention. And nobody wants to spend time just running around like an annoying salesman to get people to join said instance just to feel better about converting someone else over from one side to the other.

Another reason is that - moderation can be ass. Yeah, some moderators on Lemmy have the mentality and maturity of an edgy 15-year old who spends too much time online for their own good. And we can all see it in plain sight on the modlog so I don’t even need to explain.

I honestly don’t plan to demo or wishlist this. However, I would love to see more games like this, about rebuilding a planet that’s been savaged by war. A lot of the time, we got games that are like Fallout where, the bombs already fell so it turns into just surviving the aftermath. We already have tons of games like that in a variety.

But we don’t have enough games where it’s like, the bombs fell, the aftermath sucks so okay - let’s rebuild it! Why not. More games like these can get people to think more of ideas of thinking past the point of these kinds of things whether it’s nuclear fallout or recovering from the damage of corrupt powers.

I go out to thrift stores, buy CDs and I make a little boat to ship CDs in. I would hope someone just send me a boat back with CDs I’d listen to. To make sure of it, every CD I ship out, has a notecard written about what genre of music I like, what artists I particularly like, what genres I don’t like and what artists I don’t wish to hear.

This is how I make my trade. I’m a real pirate, arrrr.

No.

That’s why I don’t play MMOs and that’s why I have a hard time enjoying Minecraft. There can be such a thing as ‘too much’.

Some people can have a fatigue where they’re tired of just moving platform to platform. Communicating platforms is heavily saturated to where, nobody would feel that grand of a difference going from Discord to that platform when they can still do the basics. People still wouldn’t leave Facebook, even, despite that platform having largely corroded over the years.

Until Discord is like charging people to use it, people aren’t going to budge. In a world where your privacy is circumvented whether you know it or not, a lot of people just shrug their shoulders at you when you present alternatives all like “ehh, cool” before just resuming what they’re already using.

The clues are in the spots where you get the chests and it’s surrounded by spots of lava, stone and obsidian.

I swear, you guys are incurious. You want EVERYTHING handed to you when wikis exist that tell you. No, you just want it right infront of your screen. Freaking ludicrous.

And this too will also be freaking online-only. I don’t know why I got Diablo IV, but I have it and I haven’t touched it. Because I once revisited Diablo III to see if I can stoke interest in it, to find that I had connection issues, then remembered “Oh right, it’s also ONLINE-ONLY”.

I’m sick of this shit being online only.

I…um…this timeline has gotten worse in the worst possible way.

I’m at a loss for words.

You know, I don’t particularly care about having the need to see every freaking pore on someone’s model. I hate graphic purists.

Unfortunately, you’re not the demographic the industry is looking for. What they want now is obedient, but expendable staff who’ll only be on long enough to see a project done. Then you’re discarded. The other pocket of people they’d want is, you know what type.

You’re better of being your own independent video game worker.

This whole industry is job security hell. Man, people decades ago dreamed of being somewhere in the industry. I don’t really know now who’d want to be in it knowing how awful job security even is.

“Nice kill count, bro and 0 deaths! Damn, want to do that for real? :D”

I hate how steam reviews have turned into yet more soapboxes to get political over than reviewing the games themselves.

Why should I care about how you feel about a publisher when you reviewed one of their older games just to project your opinion?

Same. Especially after I’ve had shithead trolls from Steam Forums shit all over my reviews to where I went through the process of tediously re-posting 120 reviews. Yeah, real pieces of work the people are in those forums.

This is what Linux doesn’t need.

I got an honest chuckle out of it. But yeah, it really sucks for people surfing the net today and within the past 10 years. People like me who’ve been around for 30+ years, just sulk in depression for the state its become, remembering simpler days.

It’s how I feel deeply about social media’s existence. Facebook, Reddit, MySpace, Twitter .etc weren’t ‘evil’ just for simply being made and standing on its own. It needed fuel and that fuel is in the form of the many thousands to millions of people who’ve used them for years.

And those same people have turned around and now put blame on said social media sites for how bad they’ve become. Never caring to realize that they majorly were built that way off the behaviors of what people did and continue to do on there.
