Tarquinn2049 , in The state of steam reviews

Hmm, I have no idea what the mayo/ketchup thing is. Looking it up on “know your meme” is basically just blank with a video that doesn’t exist anymore. Far as I can tell, they are individually both popular condiments in most countries, and using them together is even pretty popular in most countries still. So it must be some specific reference I just can’t find?

trashxeos ,

So, I think I found the correct answer, sadly I had to read a reddit post for it. Apparently, it is someone saying that they’ll eat 1 tablespoon of ketchup or mayo for each like their review gets. It’s only one source but it was the OP of this meme on /r/Steam (at least the result I found anyway) so maybe that’s correct.

What’s fucked is how close to ‘45 year old father’ I am.

I reckon at that point we won’t be posting reviews like that anymore?

Not sure m8 but time keeps moving, faster and faster

That’s the thing, what’s wrong with 45 years old fathers?

The game sells your info apparently… points 4.3 and 15.4 of the privacy policy (age, gender, location, etc to advertisers).

I did not look this up myself, it’s just one of the many reviews talking about this that provides this information. Credit to steam user Ilovemyhouse.

If it makes Steam stay at #1 and stimulates development of titles we respect it’s worth every penny.

@whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works avatar

what is banana ?

odium ,

Basically a nft type clicker game.

Look up spiffing brit on YouTube. One of his latest videos covered it in depth.

Rai ,

Isn’t that the hilarious katana opening mom video dude?

whyNotSquirrel ,
@whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works avatar

is it really nft or the dev can just add more “special” banana on will, which would make it worse?

Etterra ,

It’s basically a scam.

MystikIncarnate , in PlayStation's CEO drastically underestimates the Steam crowd's patience, thinks PC gamers will buy a PS5 for exclusive sequels

You see, I don’t play games on consoles because I don’t like controllers.

I mean, I’ll use them in some scenarios, but the position I need to sit in to hold a controller is usually uncomfortable.

I’ve been playing PC games since the 90’s. I picked up an Xbox one S, and even set it up, and it’s been very good at collecting dust since I bought it. I got it used, so no big loss, but still.

I’m not going to pay $500+ for another dust collector, just to have the privilege to pay extra for games, and be uncomfortable playing them, then have no option to switch to a PC later because I only own that game on the stupid console.

It’s a waste of my time and money.

And if I really want to play a game with a controller, I can do that on my PC too.

Simply, if I buy a game on console, I’m forced to use that console and it’s controller, to play. If I buy it on PC, I can play it however the fuck I want to, on any system I want to. Fuck your exclusivity deals, and fuck you.

CaptainBasculin ,

While I typically play most games via kb/m; I can’t imagine ever playing racing games with it. Nothing beats the analog controls for me on these.

CW: extremely cringe jokeIt looks like this democracy… big-cool…has been managed. lets-fucking-go

Hopefully they restore the game in all regions where it was disabled. It went from being region free to blocked in 172 countries.

Shape4985 , (edited ) in Helldivers 2 went from one of the most beloved Steam games to one of the most hated pretty quickly
@Shape4985@lemmy.ml avatar

Mainly micro transactions. Though its not as bad as other games i don’t agree with them being in games that cost money. If they are going to be added i think the game should be free. Its mainly a critique of online gaming in its current state.

The gameplay was not my kind of game but that’s more of a personal preference than it being a bad game. I watched a ton of gameplay and had friends stream it to me and it looked very dull. He came across a lot of bugs while playing too such as clipping through the map forcing him to restart the entire mission.

papertowels ,

Worth pointing out that you can find in game premium currency

Shape4985 ,
@Shape4985@lemmy.ml avatar

I know but id prefer it not being there to begin with as its a slippery slope. Its much more fun to earn loot than grind for coins or pay for them to get the skin.

EncryptKeeper ,

The micro-transactions barely exist and was easy be bought with premium currency found in the game. There are paid battle passes but none of the items within give you much of an edge over anyone else, and those battle passes also award premium currency which can be used to buy the next battle pass. They’re not timed, either. You can buy one battle pass and sit in it for a year before completing it.

As far as MTX go, they’re the most inoffensive I’ve ever seen in a game.

Shape4985 ,
@Shape4985@lemmy.ml avatar

I understand. I just prefer them to not be there at all. Ill only buy extra in a game if its in the form of a dlc that adds great content for example the following dlc for dying light or liberty city stories for GTA 4. Buying weapons and cosmetic feels cringe to me

EncryptKeeper ,

I mean you don’t have to spend any money on them. You can buy them with currency you earn in game.

NecroParagon ,

These are the least offensive micro transactions I’ve seen in a game lol. And people calling a $40 game expensive is funny.

dom ,

What else, other than these stickers and such, are points good for? If I have enough points, should I just buy this?

Mythnubb ,

I would also like to know this

wccrawford ,

It’s not a huge discount, and you probably don’t want the majority of those things. I’d just buy what you like, and ignore the rest.

So far as I know, points are only for cosmetics like this and adding more blocks to the Steam profile page, etc.

pineapplelover , in Money Laundering

Probably a bunch of rare stickers on the gun

Interesting combination of words

It always catches my attention when a game is a mix of genres that sound like they shouldn’t be. “Rougelite City Builder” was another that sounded like it didn’t make any damn sense but they pulled it off well (Against the Storm).

This one surprised me. I was going to spend 30 minutes playing, now have logged 10 hours.

Aurix , in Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 support will end tomorrow (January 1st 2024)

While understandable I hope Steam does keep working on these platform’s for some titles which might only run on older systems.

hddsx ,

What titles only run on x86 and not x86_64?

Aurix ,

Some obscure title will surely have weird driver, hardware and OS quirks. For example Crazy Machines 2’s physics break down and the fixes didn’t work for me. They use PhysX for their physics engine, before Nvidia acquired it, and it was heavily updated of course and now the puzzles don’t work anymore. Maybe somebody found another solution to it by now, but I haven’t checked it.

lambchop ,

Child of light, a Ubisoft game, I couldn’t get working on windows 10. Forums say it hasn’t been patched since vista… Even if I copy the files over locally I don’t think I’ll have much luck getting uplay to run. Thanks DRM.
