Congratulations ! I hope the game will sell well.

For those who never tried it, it is an excellent “Monster Catcher” game with a lot of good ideas.

Dremor, 15 days ago

I’d add to the cons that some of the teammates are inconsistent gameplay wise. Some gets fusion very early, other pretty late (Eugene if I recall it well). Their story are similarly inconsistent, with some quite well done, and others very bare.

Dremor, 16 days ago

I had to check if it wasn’t april.

The Steam Deck OLED screen is already barely enough, I can’t see how they’ll manage on an even smaller screen.

Pepe wasn’t initially a racist meme, but was misappropriated by alt-righ groups. The author tried to fight it, but the damages were done. So the addition to the statistic by ADL is valid, but to be taken with the context it is in.

Be careful of not putting plain hate for no reason at the same level than an overzealous minority advocating for rightful social changes.

With my kinda rigid interpretation of Rule 1, this should be posted on an hardware community. !gaming maybe ?

Edit : After a good night of sleep I have to admit I was too rigid here. I’ll be more lenient in the future about hardware related subject, when it has to do with gaming. I’d probably still remove a topic about the latest AMD CPU or similar, but games consoles and its peripherals are indeed related enough to games to be allowed.

Dremor, 16 days ago

The rigid interpretation you can have when you are tired. But yeah, in this case I’m mistaken.

Dremor, 16 days ago

That’s the idea, but only the community owner can change the sidebar.

Dremor, 17 days ago (edited 16 days ago)

If I strictly apply rule 1, this should be removed. But at the same time, after talking with OP via PM, it is true that it is still kinda related to games.

For now I’m gonna keep it, but an update to the rules is needed, to better define and explain them.

Edit : After a night of sleep I have to admit I was mistaken here.

Still, I’ll talk with the other mods about better defining the rules, I feel like it is needed.

Dremor, 16 days ago

indeed. I was tired and used the French equivalent (“Message Privé”, thus MP). I should avoid moderating when tired next time

Dremor, 16 days ago

Indeed it is. That was my mistake.

Dremor, 16 days ago

Moderating isn’t as easy as it seem from the outside, and sometimes you can make mistakes, especially when tired. 😅

Dremor, 16 days ago

Yup, in retrospect my brain kinda betrayed me here.

The update I’d like to see here is to explicitly allow gaming hardware related topic in rule 1, to avoid having an overworked mod go on a moderation spree.

Dremor, 23 days ago

I think that 2048 games are so overdone that many consider it spam. At least according to most reports.

Dremor, 25 days ago

Congratulations. I’m gonna take a look later on my Deck.

Dremor, 25 days ago

Will do.

Dremor, 24 days ago (edited 24 days ago)

For those who wonder, @Road_Warrior_10 has my autorisation to promote his game, as long as he do not break the rules.

No need to report this post :

• Rules 3 is not breached as long as OP do not spam the community. Promotion is allowed on this sub, as long as it does not become “excessive”.
• Rule 4 is not breached as it is no meme content (anymore 😉 ), and it doesn’t fall under the “low effort” rule due to all the effort necessary to make such a game

In any case, congrats.

Dremor, 24 days ago

Be careful, because I will press the button 😆

Dremor, 25 days ago (edited 24 days ago)

If you feel like an user may be a bot, please report it to a mod so we can put said user under observation in order to access its behavior.

Your comment seem well documented, but that’s something that should be sent to the mods via PM, not posted on the open.
If you were wrong, and he was legit, you’d have triggered an harassment campaign against him by encouraging others to just conclude he must be a bot because someone said so with a lengthy comment they don’t have the time to fully check.

Edit: clarifying why this shouldn’t be done that way, as my previous take was kinda harsh (I was a bit tired)

Dremor, 25 days ago

This was the first of his post to get reported. I don’t ban immediately unless it is obviously a bot trying to link to forbidden content.

Dremor, 25 days ago

It could fall under rule 4, but would require to be sure that it is indeed AI generated.
There are people that throws AI accusation around with no evidences other that a gut feeling, so I prefer to be cautious.

Remember to put anything from an unknown Google Drive through a propper virus check. No offense OP 😉.

As he said, modlogs are public, and it seems like other user retreived the trace of what you call an “abuse of power” : sopuli.xyz/comment/12732467 .

It is in his right as a moderator to chose how he moderate the communities he has the right to. If he finds your comment pedantic and annoying, and chose to remove it, so be it.

I’m not taking sides here. I don’t know the whole story, and I doubt anyone else here does. With the little context provided, It’d be hard to take knowingly a side.

But in both case, this is textbook harassement as you are copy-pasting this comment on every community this is posted on. This community has a pretty clear rule against harrassement (rule 2), which you are breaching, offense for which I’ll use my g… mod given right of banning you for the time being (I’ll re-evaluate tomorrow when I’ll be less tired).

Edit : After talking with OP via PM, a ban of 7 days was issued

Dremor, 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

I’d also like to know why he uses those characters. I’m not the most fluent in English, and never saw those characters used.

Dremor, 1 month ago

I’m gonna be honest with you, as a non-english speakers, this is unreadable, and kinda obnoxious.

Please take into consideration that this is an international website, that people from many different countries go to in order to talk to each other. If someone suddenly decide to use his local letters to write, most readers will just not understand what you write. At best it makes you look pedantic, at worst intentionally trying to exclude others from talking with you.

I can understand why others may be irritated by your behavior, albeit I’d condemn any attempt at brigading to harass you over it.
If you feel like it, you can ask for a brigading check to see if some accounts are following you to downvote every ones of your posts, admins can see votes and got some tools to help detect such behavior.

Damn, I played to it like, decades ago, and I still was able to instantaneously recognize the game. Never finished it though.

Dremor, 1 month ago

The release wasn’t that bad, just massively overhyped by the publisher.

But now it is a game that deserves such hype. It has massive content, while often being around $25. At that price, it’s a steal.

Dremor, 1 month ago

I own it on both Gog and Steam (both paid half price). One of the games I don’t regret paying twice for.

Already (cross-)posted earlier here : lemmy.world/post/21178327

Dremor, 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

c/games mod here. Yeah, we wish for our community to be more about discussing about games themselves than memeing in order to avoid meme drowning other content.

Meme are funny, I don’t personally mind them, but once you allow too much of them, you end up becoming a meme community.

Maybe we should create, if it doesn’t exist, a “gamesmeme” or similar to offload if it tend to overwhelm c/gaming too, or create a dedicated day to meme out (aka “meme monday”).

Dremor, 1 month ago

In a way, this does break rule 4, as multiples report pointed out, but I’ll allow it for this time in order for y’all to congratulate our fellow gamer here for its huge accomplishments.

OP is advised, in hope to appease the report queue gods, to kindly celebrate next achievement in the most monotonous, mild and definitively not memey manner. Thaaaanks. (/s)

Congrats dude!

Dremor, 1 month ago

Thank you. I do my best.

You may also try !selfhosted to get more help.

Or use octals -> 1Mo/s = 1MB/s = 8Mb/s

No risk of confusion.

Dremor, 1 month ago

Probably not, that’d be piracy, and I’m sure that Nintendo will sue them to hell. 😅

Dremor, 1 month ago

It would be NSFW for sure 😂.

Don’t worry, we too have the mental age of a teenager at time, myself included.

Dremor, 1 month ago

I know very well which one. My first thought seeing that one was “That’s a Penis!”. Heck, it even extends!

Dremor, 2 months ago

Usually it is the same person who post them, if you are bothered by them, just block those two or three users and you won’t ever be bothered by them again.

Personally I hesitated to allow them at first, but it gives a bit more diversity to the community posts, and it doesn’t seem to be a bad things. For now I don’t think it is too much, even with two posters (the original and his… sidekick? 😆), but if the community subscribers start to down-vote it to hell (like was yours), then I’ll ask both of them to redirect those post to a dedicated community, like feddit.uk/c/photomode, linked by @Zahille7

Dremor, 2 months ago

Maybe crosspost to that other community too. It may help revive it.

Dremor, 2 months ago

Not everyone is a natural Linux user, no need to call other dumb for not knowing something you may know about.

Dremor, 2 months ago

From the term used I can easily determine you are more conservative than most here, and even if your comment got reported multiple time on the basis of rule 2, I’d like not to overreact and give you the occasion to develop a bit more your arguments by providing examples instead of just “its like that because I feel like it is like that”.

So, could you please kindly provide, as other in this thread asked, example of :

• Games where those “political” topics doesn’t belong
• Review criticizing SpaceMarine 2 for not “pandering to LGBTQ”

I believe this would help open a more open conversation than some politically opposite attacking each other personally.

In my humble opinion, Games being a work of art as much as it is an entertainment, it is up to the creator to chose what kind of story it want to talk about.
Does they want to talk about how the LGBTQ community, which has been oppressed for a long time, in their game ? Fine by me, at lease I can have some insight from the viewpoint of someone of this community, albeit virtual, to better understand said topic.
Those topics where not talked at all previously, so of course it would feel like it becomes a lot more present in the last years, just by contrast with the absence of it in previous titles. It is also a brand new storytelling topic on which game designer have very little experience with, so it is logical for it to be talked about awkwardly at time (thus the need for specialized consulting firm like Sweet Baby Inc), with some very obvious stitches at times. Just give them time to understand how to blend it better in the story and gameplay, and you’ll get the fun games you wish for, with a diverse cast you won’t even have to complain about.

Giveaways could be tolerated if verified by a moderator first. There are a lot of scams involving game code giveaway, so to protect the community we opted for banning it until we find a reliable way to verify such codes beforehand.
