You’ve personally posted gaming “journalism” articles about starfield on !gaming at least once a day for nearly every day of the past 10 days. So excuse me but I’m a bit fucking fed up with “scrolling by” dozens of times in an attempt to find actual substantial discussions. Every time something is posted about the problem can literally be solved by not fucking buying it if you don’t want to.
I apologize for sounding a bit vitriolic about this, but I hate when a valid complaint about this is responded to by just saying “don’t look at it lulz.” How about a solution to that problem would be you posting things that actually start interesting conversations instead?
And yeah sure it’s the next big game so of course it’ll have media coverage about it. But I don’t really think much of anything I’ve read about this game has been really substantive in the gaming journalism space. I don’t remember reading something and actually wanting to care.
In my original comment I wasn’t insulting you personally, mind you. A lot of people have been posting about this game.
Just to go on the other side, you’re clearly a substantial poster of interesting content on the gaming Fediverse, even if it ends up as articles about the latest large games. You also participate in the comments sections with pretty level opinions, and it blows my mind that that person was calling this a “nothingburger” of a post even though they’re obviously bookended by tons of engagement.
Yeah i’m with the other guy. On one hand lemmy need content, so talking about the lastest exciting thing makes sense, on the other hand there’s that dude whining about content they don’t like to see instead of keep scrolling.
If you’re struggling to find “substantial” conversations on topics you want to talk about, maybe you should be the one to initiate those conversations.
Come on man, I’ve seen you around a lot and I know you post a lot of good stuff, but to be fair, you’re not blameless here. I get that you’re not interested in a game and it’s frustrating to see lots of posts about it dominating your feed, but clearly the OP is interested and excited about it, and basically telling them to shut up about their interest just because it’s not what you want to hear about is a mean thing to do. It would be different if they posted spam links to their own blog every single day or something like that but they post all sorts of relevant news links to various communities so I think they just share stories they’re interested in, and that’s valuable to the community too! We all should be working together to build a nice friendly community to talk about what we enjoy and sometimes that means we have to tolerate others quirks and discussing things we don’t particularly care for.
Well so did I, but I also bought into whole ecosystem for this game (Series X). So I’m actually pretty disappointed in how its turned out. First it was the 30fps thing, got over that then saw the reviews and thought this could be great. Then I started playing and hit all the load screens. Thats when I realised I was not going to align with the 10/10 reviews lol. I personally have it somewhere between 6 and 7. But parts can be a 4 to me (immersion) and parts can be an 8 or even 9 (working through a ‘dungeon’ picking locks, sniping, setting up ambushes etc)
And I’m really sick of people complaining about seeing posts on topics they personally aren’t interested in, instead of just scrolling by.
Looks like neither of us has gotten what they want today.

Just absurd. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!

I simply play the game from gamepass, cheaper that way

So yeah a bit of a head scratcher.
