Evotech, do gaming w A reminder to not take online negativity too seriously

This is called survivorship bias

LwL,

Not really. It should be obvious that not every indie game will be super successful. This is just proof that some random reddit comments saying a game looks boring from an early trailer don’t mean shit, because basically everything will have those.

echodot,

Right so it’s not really proof of anything.

Wolf,

Well it’s kind of proof that the opinions of haters don’t meant shit. If both good/successful games and bad/unsuccessful games have them and they don’t affect the outcome at all, they have no value.

ieGod,

Might as well give up before even trying! Wtf is this defeatist attitude.

sqgl,

WTF is this feelgood fascism?

echodot,

What has fascism got to do with any of this?

Saleh,

I wonder if the opposite principle also has a name.

The first comment imo. is fair. It says that the market is saturated, so it is difficult to succeed, but it doesn’t rule it out by default.

The other two comments are just plain hostile and ended up being wrong. Lets call it dead troll bias or something?

This is exactly how Eric Barone felt, despite knowing in his heart that he had made something special to him. This is how he thought Stardew Valley would he received. The general gaming community are such cunts.

biotin7,

The reason is because; the general community aren’t the nerds that made gaming fun

zout,

The reason is, the people who like to leave reviews are cunts. Source: I hardly ever review anything, because I'm not a cunt. When I do review, it's to a small busines (buzzword alert), and it's always because the service was excellent.

Huh, it’s not like Reddit to be pointlessly hateful 😌

Zexks,

Lol pointless hate isnt limited to reddit.

Drewmeister,

Yeah, lemmy definitely isn’t immune, there’s just a lot less of it almost definitely in part because there is a lot less engagement in general.

MurrayL,

Yes, there’s less in terms of there being fewer overall discussions going on. Proportionally, though, I’d say Lemmy feels very similar to Reddit in terms of hivemind circlejerking and hateposting.

I finally blocked most lemmy.world comms and started blocking users who I feel make the vibe worse, and that’s helped.

Tollana1234567,

i started blocking “know it alls, or ackshually, this not how you pronounce or say it” they are up to no good, and prone to argue if you respond.

crank0271, do games w After two years of development, Heroes of the Seven Islands, a cRPG that I drew by hand on paper, will be released on Steam, in four days the 9/9/2025 (demo available)

I love the art style. I can’t wait to try it - thanks for sharing!

Devmapall, do games w anybody here heard of lobotomy corporation?

I’ve owned this game for a long time. Never can get into it. Bounced off limbus company too

Got more time in library of runia but not much. It’s a shame because the world of the games really draws me in.

chiruyuki,

Welp, it ain’t for anyone :") … was it the gameplay ? pjmoon’s gameplay can be quite… exhausting , at times (esp for lcb, WHY does he have six unbreakable coins and WHY do i have to read so much???😭😭😭)

PrivateNoob, do games w anybody here heard of lobotomy corporation?

I have played through it, with the True Ending (without the extra scenes one). Jeez it was absolutely BRUTAL. Truly this was the hardest game for me, period, due to it’s relentless punishing and testing the human determination to push through adversity even if it seems impossible.

chiruyuki,

Oof, I’ve yet to get the true ending but I’m DEFINITELY not looking forward to it… I want to act like censored doesn’t exist!! 😭😭😭

PrivateNoob,

I recommend getting some good gear which has a high white resistance (I think that’s what you need for Censored?) and you can sorta easily get a high white resistance gear from Blue Star. That’s also an ALEPH, but imo it’s easier to work with that compared to Censored, but if he escapes you’re equally fucked as with Censored.

chiruyuki,

He does black damage im p sure ;-; thing is, in my run w censored (before I rewinded) my best black res gear was magic bullet… there were rare moments where my very best employee managed to do his work properly without going insane but it’s still not something I’m willing to go through again ;_;

Whenever he escaped I didn’t even hesitate to restart the day j try again, hes just horrible (bluestar’s legs are NOT worth the entire department dying, BUUUTTTTT I kinda wanna see it in action lol)

mohab, do gaming w The Epidemic Of Gamers Forcing Themselves To Play/Like a Game.

Odd logical leap from the post to the title.

Maybe play solo games like fighting games instead?

@griffinite_psx@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I don’t post stuff on the internet so it does come off a little ramble-y not gonna lie.

mohab,

Hmm… I read your edit, and I think you're kinda overlooking the hard truth here: you can come up with a list of 1,000 things players "have to" do, but if the game doesn't enforce them, they're not gonna happen.

You can rant out of frustration all you want, but you have no control over anyone except yourself, and trying to tell people what to do will only piss them off.

You're also making a lot of baseless assumptions. How do you know how much they enjoy the game? Maybe they choose to engage with the parts they like and leave the rest out, they're happy this way, and the game lets them. Who are you to tell them what to do?

Again, ranting is fine, but you gotta have self-awareness, otherwise you're gonna get nothing but negative reactions.

To combat the ramble-y-ness of your posts you should try to add more paragraphs. That makes it easier for your readers to take a short pause while reading.

For the topic at hand, I basically don’t play any multiplayer games precisely because it is too much work to keep up with the current meta. It seems to me that often enough what the game teaches you in the tutorial is not what you have to do in the real thing to succeed.

Add to that that many people don’t even pay attention to the good things of tutorials and you get a horde of brainless people just doing the bare minimum to pass by.

As to why they play ranked, at least to me ranked play comes with the promise of match making. That you get paired up with players of a similar skill. In theory that should give you a 50% win rate. I’d play ranked exactly so that I get lumped in with players who are as bad as me.

who, do gaming w I refuse to by a new mouse

I just about always prefer repair to replacement. Even if I’m not in love with the thing, less expense and pollution is worth a little effort.

Playing a bunch of Crusader Kings 3 and Civ V. Have half a mind to learn EU4 right as (relatively) EU5 is coming out for some reason. Also played some Lost Eidolons which is kinda fun, the between combat stuff isn’t very fun however.

This past weekend Steam had a Darkest Dungeon 2 free weekend and I finally realised that those games weren’t roguelite deckbuilders (ohhh i hate those so much). So I finally tried them and they are…fine. The “I’m so edgy and dark” aesthetic gets stale really quickly, as does the slightly-but-deliberately-obtuse UX that appears in games that are supposed to be “difficult and unforgiving”.
