Yeah it’s bad… It’s gotten to the point that I have unironically said “Wait! Where are my subtitles? I can’t hear without my subtitles!”

Oh god yeah. Some early video games are fucking horrendous for this. Thank GOD that it’s almost essentially now to have sliders for individual tracks. Always end up lowering the music to 75, the sound effects to 85-90 and the dialogue stays at 100.

So I was taught PEDMAS as a kid instead and it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize what the B stood for…

Exactly!

Heavily considering blocking sh.itjust.works to be honest. That instance now has admins that care but for a very long time they didn’t. Led to a lot of bad actors making accounts on that instance because they knew they could get away with more. Most trolls I’ve seen lately are from that instance and its getting a little exhausting.

It’s not a specific community. I’ve been here since August and have nearly 1.5k posts across a wide variety of communities and wide variety of instances. In that time I’ve seen more and more bad faith comments from people with the SJW instance tag. It’s not universal but it is noticable. Due to my frequent posting, I also have gotten to know admins from multiple instances and all of them have expressed the same frustration. To its credit, SJW did get new admins within the past month or so that are working hard to fix shit and don’t take it lightly.

Just an example of what can happen when mods and admins let things slide for a while.

These algorithms keep showing me straight porn. Not so sure they do care…

So I’ve actually got a new MicroSD card on my Amazon Wishlist for this exact reason… tired of seeing this shit everyday and deleting old stuff. I don’t mind because lemmy but DAMN.

I’ve had to clean up a depressing amount of comments in this thread so this is everyones friendly reminder.

Rule 1 - Be civil. Don’t attack people for their beliefs or lackthereof.

Rule 2 - No politics.

Report all offending content please.

Because they’re explaining that someone else is atheist?

What a weird comment.

I cannot tell you how much I need this on my wall. Desperately. I want a nice resolution one just on a canvas on my wall… fuck. Who do I have who I can annoy a Christmas gift out of…

This is exactly what I’ve had to end up doing in a few games. Some games I don’t mind. Like Battlefront 2. I used to play, and win, tournaments in it so when friends call me in to help them with a game or something it’s great because you get a ton of praise and hype. Your friends going “FUCK THEM UP DUDE! YEAH! GO FOR IT!” Or the thanks for helping a friend. But that same prowess meant that (even if there was easily accessible invite pvp) I can’t fight any of my friends. There are ways you kind of can and everytime I’ve suggested it it’s always a resounding and hard no. I’ve had similar levels of skill in other games that I actively tone down around my friends because I want to be able to play against them and not just play with them. I don’t give a shit if I win or lose. I give a shit that I’m hanging out with people who I like and playing games I enjoy.

Love me some Forza. Been playing 5 lately for the first time. Feels lonely not having friends to play with anymore but I gotta start messing with this Horizon Open shit.
