  • Googling so many “how do I do X?” type of questions have top-results of 10-minute videos where someone has their cluttered Desktop in full 1920x1080 and then they open the tiny command prompt in a small window (it’s clear they have no idea how to record a video), where they clumsily type commands they clearly don’t understand, and fumble through the entire process.

    I just needed a single command. It should have been a 1-second result at the top of search, not shitty videos or SEO dynamically-generated shit site that are trying to sell me something.


  • The content didn’t violate Lemmy terms of service or be of anything illegal, just the rules the mod posted.

    If the mod has a short list of rules that say not to post X, and a user specifically posts X, what can I do really do about it? They may get some downvotes, but the posts stays up. The post gets reported, but the post still stays up. I check back a week later, and the post is still there.

    I can’t build a community up, and if it’s clear the creators of that community and/or the current mods themselves have moved on or simply don’t care, then I will just move on.









  • As of April 2022, Blizzard had apparently sold over 50,000,000 copies of Overwatch. That means it is one of the best-selling games of all time. That is over 50,000,000 copies now gone. Of course you’re going to hear a LOT of complaints.

    Were any of those other games you’re talking about as big as Overwatch? Were they as successful as Overwatch? I really doubt they had anywhere near the player-base as Overwatch.

    Lots of companies switch games around. Many times it’s because they are financially hurting or otherwise need a way to increase funding.

    Blizzard had a massive hit and also promised updates to make the game even better.

    After years and years of promising this, Blizzard basically told all their customers psych.

    Not only was the big PvE mode not coming, they very game they were already playing all these years was also going away.
