Except for Factorio, if you see a 1% discount, jump on it

[–] Carrot@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

I gave up on getting it at a discount lol. I waited 5 years

Don't support reactionaries. Go play Satisfactory instead!

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are few popular topics as reactionary as online gamer drama 🙄

Sure, sure, and all those hollywood actresses really were just hard to work with. yappy hand gesture

Kovarex, the maker of Factorio, is a reactionary anti-leftist. He exposed himself on reddit and has since edited or deleted his comments. Here's a thread about it with links to the original incident. https://www.reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/comments/o34v6h/factorio_founder_rages_about_cancel_culture_after/

Kinda burying the lede to criticize his political position when he apparently supports statutory rape.

[–] LongLive@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

Say my friend made such a statement in the past and somehow.managed to grow as a person.

What should they do to communicate this?

I assume deleting the original statement is perceived as dishonesty, yes?

But I already bought it. Unless.. could I buy another Factorio?

Thank you for reminding me about the summer sale!

OP, presumably:

"Why don't poor people simply stop being poor? They should just ask their father for a small loan of a million dollars."

You need at least a Billion these days.

Make.sure to set a few million aside for Charity.

Constructive criticism, honestly:

Can we not do Reddit-style one-upping replies? You've added nothing to the thread except a very low-effort quip that leads to The Price Is Right "No, no, you need a trillion!" "No, no, you need a quadrillion!" etc. that just... sap every reader's seconds of their lives away.

I'm sure you say plenty of clever and helpful things elsewhere, but I'm so over Reddit and I don't want Lemmy to be like it.

I'm not sure how your original comment isnt in the same vein of Reddit style replies. You just made a quip based on a meme instead of a quip based on another comment.

[–] Syltti@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm going to hold you hand when I tell you this...

Its too late for that.

"oh sweet summer child"

[–] Jimbo@pawb.social 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

As if anything goes more than 70% off these days

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Wildly inaccurate.

There are currently 1,189 Steam games discounted at 70% or higher with a minimum of 5000 reviews, including The Witcher 3, Hearts of Iron IV, Cyberpunk 2077, and Deep Rock Galactic:

I'm still mourning the day MS Flight Sim 2020 went on sale for 85% but they snatched it from my cart before I could purchase it and corrected it to 15%.
