If Valve so badly doesn’t want to be responsible for moderating things on their own platform, then yes, they should be giving tools to the players to better self-moderate.

I’m envisioning it right now. The idea where someone sees a review of a game, negative or positive, adding nothing to what decision someone could have before buying a game. They can just close that review out and they’d never see it. It’d automatically block the person too, why not, their input isn’t valuable.

I didn’t know they got rid of the jester award until I checked today. I kinda wish we could just delete the awards such as them from our reviews that got flagged with those shitty things. I’d also take away the ‘funny’ marker too because I feel it adds nothing to reviewing games, it only enables the trolls and other shitty people from abusing it.

No, going to disagree here.

We’ve had this discussion many times over about what violent video games does with people. We’ve had it in the form of what the media decides to twist and falsely blame from the actions the individual does when there are other things at play.

Broken people are the ones who take the violence out from the digital realm of video games and apply it to real world. They are the ones who can’t manage their stress and anger levels regardless playing a game or handling a problem in person.

Yeah but what good is reporting when Valve themselves takes what feels like an eternity, getting down to dealing with just a few?

Eventually, they’re going to be faced with making one of two choices; Shut down the discussions board to a particular game for violating ToS or let it go unchecked for however long.

Reviewing generally anything should be a way to help beacon those who’re unsure as to whether or not they should bother spending their hard-earned money on something and time they’re not getting back.

They aren’t going to get anything out of XxNoLife42069xX’s “review” of a game when they splerg about things not related to the game.

Not satisfying enough.

The idea is to play a simulator where you can cause chaos from that.

Why’d you even bother to snip that line, to make yourself sound smart?

There’s already like hundreds and thousands of games where I can kill people in.

Spotify gives me 30 minutes of ad-free listening time. They even allow limitless skipping which used to be barred by subscribing. It’s absolutely absurd and asinine that you would limit all songs to 30 seconds unless you’ve paid. That’s how you not get people to pay your shitty service.

If I’m preferring to deal with ads between a handful of songs at a time than having their songs cut down to 30 seconds, they can eat shit. Who the fuck does that?

AI can’t even troubleshoot my freaking problems with accounts or anything. Why the hell would it think it has a chance of teaching anybody in a classroom?

Must be a bold response from someone who presumably never took history lessons and learned about the history of that region. Educate yourself.

We should already be a quarter of the way into this by now.

We’re not because we have corrupt dinosaurs holding us back from it.

Fuckers keep dodging my shurikens, I hate you.

I am sorry but if people still think the Palestinian conflict is the end-all and be-all of where the state of the world goes, much less, where America goes. Then they’re no better than the single-minded voters that helped the Republicans win twice.

There will ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS be conflict going on over the Middle-East with everyone there. It is NEVER-ENDING. We’ve wasted nearly 20 years dicking around with Afghanistan and Iraq. All for what? So the Taliban can take over territory in less than a week after all that effort? What a waste!

What we needed to do and should have done was hold Israel accountable and not fund them anymore. If to them, makes us look anti semitic, then so what? They’re the aggressors, they’re the ones being tyrannical bastards right now and if they can’t see that then it’s their problem they need to sort out or don’t. Whatever floats their little boat.

But also, we have so much shit to fix here that it’ll be a bit until we get there. We’ve already squandered telling Israel to stop their shit.

People are allowed to engage in discussion about the games they play and deserve to do so without being hampered by shitlords. Easy idea.

Then uhhhh…ban the pieces of shit?

The things I didn’t need to know but told to me:

• Whenever friends have the gall to tell me how the dumping in their toilet went, down to texture.
• A man my mom had a fling with telling me she likes taking it up the ass. Not directly told but heavily implied and not metaphorical.

I wonder this too. 🤔

While we are gaining people who’re seeking refugee from the claustrophobic-like suffocation that is the surface web of social media. We’re taking some on the chin with knowing that some of those ‘refugees’ are assholes who probably have been a prick elsewhere. They just don’t care about owning to the problem.

Ugh, there’s a name I hadn’t heard before - Indie Gala. I used to have been wheeling and dealing a lot on getting games on sales for 10 years and they just look like an insultingly cheap place down to the games they push out.

It’s like autotuning, is the vocalist’s voice going in ways that is completely impossible? That’s a sign.

Oh so you want to lazily make money.

Yeah, it’s called effort. Doing shit through AI is not effort.
