context also heavily welcome.
My most downvoted posts here were agreeing with Hillary Clinton in an interview where she said in a personal interview, not a campaign event, that left wing voters need to “get over it” (infighting during election season) and support then-candidate Biden because we only get 2 choices and if we don’t we’ll end up stuck with another Trump term.
I don’t see any way of ordering my comments by vote totals so no idea.
Under a news story of a youth who fatally injured himself while playing with a gun, I got 38 downvotes but a lot more upvotes.
I am apalled to see the comments here making light of the death of a child with their “win stupid prizes” schtick.
Instead of talking about access to gun safety education if kids are in a gun household. Instead of reminding parents about the absolute necessity of gun safes. Instead of calling for gun reform so kids can’t get guns in the first place.
But no, carry on victim blaming, seems much more productive.
My most downvoted comment is me trolling during the US elections. My comment says that I won’t vote, without giving the context of being unable to vote due to not being an US citizen. But it would be obvious to those paying attention to my instance. https://feddit.org/comment/2935779
I remember seeing this, I LOLed.
On reddit. I think it was a comment about how DLSS was going to make devs lazy and optimize their games less because DLSS would do the work for them. People thought I was crazy.
Here? Either an unpopular opinion or replying to a comment I misinterpreted. Nothing too bad. Reddit? I got banned from a sub because I disagreed with breeding dogs into messed up mutants that couldn’t breathe or bark right. Probably that one.
This one
Probably when I expressed support for Harris. As a “lib” I support transphobia and genocide, you see.
The left and infighting - name a more iconic duo (IMPOSSIBLE EDITION)
I mistook a VLC update for enshittification. Can’t remember what the update was about because I deleted the comment lol
their recent AI-powered auto subtitling perhaps
Any time I point out that nuclear energy from new plants is really fucking expensive. Some people get mad at me for pointing out basic economics.
Had to skim through a bit, but it appears to be this one:
https://lemmy.world/comment/9834772
I suggested that people could use throwaway temporary email accounts if they didn’t want to risk using their real email to register for Sony’s annoying forced PSN registration for their PC games.
I’ve shared a few hot takes here and there on Lemmy so I am surprised that this one ended up being my lowest (so far).
I don’t know if I was downvoted for angering the Sony fans by notion that there could be security concerns with PSN, or people who disliked the suggestion that they didn’t have to use their real emails to still register for an account, or both.
In Reddit, years ago, I was writing about protecting endangered whales. Apparently it was quite the pro whaling community that day. Never knew I could get more than -100 downvotes, but I far surpassed that
When I said that excessive profits are essentially stealing in the context of Steam: https://lemm.ee/post/37004161/13249135
I still stand by that comment very much. If a company makes a lot more than most other companies per employee, then quite obviously the profit margin is much higher than other companies. If the profit margin is much higher than other companies, then the price could be lowered. Steam is obviously the best and basically a monopoly which is why they can do that, but this is an example of how capitalism does not lead to the best efficiency.
I’m essentially advocating against more profit. I live a relatively poor life by choice. Almost everyone I meet calls me crazy, I rather work less than earn more money. I think one of our main problems as a species for sustainability is that everyone always wants more and more and is never satisfied. This applies individually and to companies/other organizations. As long as my basic needs like food and housing are covered, I’m happy.
I feel you, I think the pro-steam stance here on Lemmy is a bit confusing.
It probably has to do with how many people here use Linux, and Steam’s commitment to supporting Linux gaming. I myself have a fairly high opinion of them; they’re not perfect, but they’re better than the other big companies and I can actually play their games.
Had to go and look. (don’t really pay attention to these things normally)
Wooow, 180 seconds (which probably won’t even get to timeout) when shutting down my computer. My life is ruined forever because I had to wait sooooo much. /sarc
Me dissing yet another “SYSTEMD TAKES TOO LONG TO SHUT DOWN >:(((((((” whinememe on a Linuxmemes community.
I stand by what I said. If waiting 2 minutes for your computer to shut down is so life-ruining for you, you probably don’t even know what a real problem smells like & should probably see a therapist about your lack of basic patience and frustration tolerance
Well, on one hand, two minutes is unacceptably slow, but on the other hand, why would anyone ever shutdown their computer so often that this matters?
I stream vr games, reboot before each stream for fresh, smooth run
Wait, are people sitting and watching the computer as it shuts down? I shut my computer down every time I walk away from it for more than an hour or two, and every night. I just type the command and then walk away to do other things while it shuts down…
It’s a habit that’s easy to build if you’re used to windows. Windows really likes to let applications (including task manager) prevent you from shutting down. Especially on slower machines, it will often fake you out by giving you the “shutting down” screen without telling you about the application it’s going to fail to close until like 30 seconds after you hit the button, so you come back to a still-on machine.
I shut down my work laptop every night before going home.
Why?
I’ve had issues with it coming out of standby/sleep as well as with swapping docks if i need it at home. It also boots relatively quick and ensures that any leaky applications are killed.
The better question is: why not?
I’ve had issues with it coming out of standby/sleep as well as with swapping docks if i need it at home.
Ah, OK, “have you tried turning it off and on again” is of course a time honoured workaround for hard-to-solve problems — I had just taken for granted that the question was about computers that worked properly.
“Or you can also play the game and buy the item ingame for 500RC, it’s not that big of a deal.”
About Dragon’s dogma 2’s character editor system.
They made it more lenient but I stand by what I said. I changed my characters aspect several times and I never put extra money. People were piiiiiiised about the extra one time purchase p2w stuff capcom put in the single player game, as if that was not their norm in most of their titles.
Good game, trash ending compared to the first one though.
BTW, my most controversial comment is also about DD2 LMAO:
" I’m going to be downvoted to hell, but I’m loving the game, and all the mtx and complaints about the easy to travel and such are from people that didn’t play the original, honestly. This game is like the original but better, maintaining the spirit of the original.
Yes, you could buy revival stones in the original too.
The legit complains are the performance issues and crashes, but anything else… Idk what to tell you, they knew that the slow gameplay that is expected of the player would not be well received but wanted to conserve the original feel, so if you want to bypass the original feel go for it. I won’t. "
I think those downvotes are justified. You should only have to pay for things that give you MORE playtime
I fully agree with your second sentence, you don’t have to do it tough, there are avenues in game to do everything. Shortening your play time because you pay is stupid and pointless. The way people demonized the game for something that’s optional that degrades the game experience is beyond me. Saying that they designed the slow game thinking of the money store, when the game is following the spirit of the original very well is idiotic.
In any case, you are entitled to your opinion.
As weird as it may sound, I think we’re both correct. The game didn’t deserve to get dunked on so hard but the choice of MTX was a flashpoint for the collective anger over greedy CEOs
I totally disagree.
Any and all form of MTX that do not expand significantly on the gameplay are satan’s piss. The mere fact that they exist mean that the company decided to increase the profits by putting more chum for the pigs (we are the pigs here) instead of working on something significant and bringing more value to the world. In the long run this is what’s destroying the industry because it promotes the enshittification mindset in the CEOs
That’s what I mean about it being a flashpoint. THIS mtx is on the low end of developer greed but the ridiculousness of it is still notable
Dragons Dogma was one of my favorite games growing up. Bought it and beat it several times across several consoles. Currently starting my second playthrough of Dragons Dogma 2, my biggest issue is that if I wanted more Dragons Dogma, I’m going to go play the OG! I want what was promised and sold by Itsuno! :(
