Another one that came to mind is TF2. I like Titanfall 2 more than Team Fortress 2 but I associate the acronym with Team Fortress 2.

I wish there was an option to turn off link-only posts. At least have something in the body of the post. Maybe a quote or a TLDR. Otherwise it just feels like a bot posting.

I am not a fan. I don’t like link dumps. It doesn’t create a discussion and the article or whatever is being relayed might be total shit and there could be better or more direct sources.

If I saw a Hackaday article about a neat project on GitHub I wouldn’t just post the article with the original title. I would probably link the GitHub page and in the body of the post link the article with a quote and maybe post similar projects in case people are interested.

I specifically dislike the bots that repost content from Reddit. The communities they post to feel fake and end up receiving so many posts actual Lemmy users posting to them get washed away in the flood.

It’s not a big deal for some communities (ex. Nature photos) but doesn’t make sense for discussion focused ones.

I block those bots

It feels a bit like Ali Express pricing with games being listed as $100 but being discounted year round for 50% off to give consumers the illusion of getting a deal.

It also seems like a lot of titles don’t go down in price as they age as often as they used to.

I wonder if they will ever release a definitive edition of The Sims 3 or 4. Even with a 90% discount the number of DLCs keep complete versions of the game rather expensive.

Tangentially related but I was browsing the list of Steam curators and I was surprised by how many of them are dedicated to discouraging people from buying games from specific countries.

That’s how I ended up with so many games in my backlog

Are you looking for a percentage amount or a dollar amount? Which would seem more appealing?
