context also heavily welcome.
“Or you can also play the game and buy the item ingame for 500RC, it’s not that big of a deal.”
About Dragon’s dogma 2’s character editor system.
They made it more lenient but I stand by what I said. I changed my characters aspect several times and I never put extra money. People were piiiiiiised about the extra one time purchase p2w stuff capcom put in the single player game, as if that was not their norm in most of their titles.
Good game, trash ending compared to the first one though.
BTW, my most controversial comment is also about DD2 LMAO:
" I’m going to be downvoted to hell, but I’m loving the game, and all the mtx and complaints about the easy to travel and such are from people that didn’t play the original, honestly. This game is like the original but better, maintaining the spirit of the original.
Yes, you could buy revival stones in the original too.
The legit complains are the performance issues and crashes, but anything else… Idk what to tell you, they knew that the slow gameplay that is expected of the player would not be well received but wanted to conserve the original feel, so if you want to bypass the original feel go for it. I won’t. "
Dragons Dogma was one of my favorite games growing up. Bought it and beat it several times across several consoles. Currently starting my second playthrough of Dragons Dogma 2, my biggest issue is that if I wanted more Dragons Dogma, I’m going to go play the OG! I want what was promised and sold by Itsuno! :(
Replying to someone claiming NFTs are a scam:
One small but important correction. NFTs are not a scam, it’s an amazing technology that has the potential to revolutionize lots of stuff, that became popular when people used it for stupid shit.
Saying NFT is a scam because people have used it to scam others is like saying phones are a scam because people call others over the phone to scam them.
NFTs are essentially a decentralized token. This means that they can be used to represent anything you might want to represent with a token, e.g. ownership of a physical object such as a car or a house; ownership of a digital asset, such as a website or game; some predetermined amount of something, similar to a stock or bonds; etc. The fact that some people used it to mean ownership of random pictures and people thought buying random pictures on the internet for a ridiculous amount of money was a good idea tells you more about people than about the technology.
It doesn’t matter for shit if you protest. What matters is votes in elections.
In response to yet another thread encouraging people to get out and protest. By all means, do that. But if you really want to make an impact, vote.
Too many people forget that at the end of the day, if we’re willing to do what it takes, the U.S. is still a democracy and votes are what choose our leaders. Lots of problems and lots of obstacles, but the people saying that voting doesn’t matter are lying to themselves if not to everyone else.
It’s a lie that only benefits the people who don’t want us to vote. If they put that much effort into the lie, it proves that voting matters enough for them to try to stop it.
But many of them didn’t listen, so now we’re all screwed. Hopefully not permanently, but it’s looking grim.
Had to go and look. (don’t really pay attention to these things normally)
Wooow, 180 seconds (which probably won’t even get to timeout) when shutting down my computer. My life is ruined forever because I had to wait sooooo much. /sarc
Me dissing yet another “SYSTEMD TAKES TOO LONG TO SHUT DOWN >:(((((((” whinememe on a Linuxmemes community.
I stand by what I said. If waiting 2 minutes for your computer to shut down is so life-ruining for you, you probably don’t even know what a real problem smells like & should probably see a therapist about your lack of basic patience and frustration tolerance
Well, on one hand, two minutes is unacceptably slow, but on the other hand, why would anyone ever shutdown their computer so often that this matters?
Wait, are people sitting and watching the computer as it shuts down? I shut my computer down every time I walk away from it for more than an hour or two, and every night. I just type the command and then walk away to do other things while it shuts down…
I shut down my work laptop every night before going home.
Why?
I’ve had issues with it coming out of standby/sleep as well as with swapping docks if i need it at home. It also boots relatively quick and ensures that any leaky applications are killed.
The better question is: why not?
I corrected a commenter who clearly hadn’t read the article the post was based on. 22 up/31 down. I was obviously a Russian bot, you see. XD
Did you read the article? Biden made many of Trump’s tarrifs permanent and Harris, while critical of Trump’s tarrifs, hasn’t put forth her own plan or disowned the Biden strategy.
Edit: Fucksake, Lemmy. It says this in the article. I said nothing positive or negative about either candidate or their positions on tarrifs. 😆

The funny thing is, if you click on the context button and show all the comments, one agreeing with me has something like 120 upvotes, so I suppose I was just being too cheeky or something. Sometimes I wonder what proportion of people are using the downvote as a disagree button compared to as a “doesn’t contribute to the discussion” button.
I use it as a “don’t like it” so if I disagree I downvote, if it doesn’t fit in the discussion I down vote as well. I don’t think it matters too much, what matters is your own opinion.
I think this is mine, 187 people didn’t like identifying Kamala as Bidens hand-picked successor
Must be this one, but the downvotes were part of the game in that thread so I guess it doesn’t really count. Other than that I’ve never gotten more than like 3 downvotes on a post.
I don’t know how to find that on lemmy. I don’t know how to get my top comment either. None of the sorting functions seem to work.
Profilie -> comments tab -> sort by controversial
It would also be interesting to see which comment is most disliked (which one has the most net negative score), but I don’t think there’s a sort that does that.
didn’t know there were sorting functions, I just like to go through my comments sometimes and noticed my most down voted one, that got me curious. But a sorting function would be pretty epic…
It wasn’t heavily down voted but people didn’t like my comment explaining that the first time I saw #metoo, I thought it was funny because when I was a kid “hashtag” hadn’t been invented yet, that’s the pound sign.
A comment describing car ownership as a lifestyle choice… on the fuck cars muni.
For context I asked if there was a way to disable “tips and tricks” (aka ads) in the lock screen in Windows without activating Windows. I was told to use NAS (Microsoft Activation Scripts, that can activate windows) in github but I replied with “without activating Windows”
Mine, at 75 downvotes, was:
You know, if you use Linux you don’t have to jump through hoops like this (trivial though they may be). Wouldn’t it be nice to not have an adversarial, abusive relationship with your OS?
This was on a thread about some workaround to remove ads in Windows.
It was still very net positive in terms of upvote/downvote ratio, so Microsoft simps can suck it, LOL.
As someone who loves and prefers Linux but is forced to use Windows for work, I wouldn’t necessarily have down voted you, but I can understand why people did.
Edit: but I up voted you here, if that helps.
I posted a meme of Trump giving the viewer the double fingers with “Cry Harder” as a caption.
It was intended to be sarcastic, as in NOT Pro-Trump, and a cursory view of that account’s posting history would support that view. The crowd went berserk and that account was banned from the Political Memes, News, and asklemmy…Was there anything to suggest it was satire, like the title maybe?
dang… I hate when this happens, you post something, and you think its abvious satire. And then nobody gets it and you get insulted by your own peers.
Not to mentioned being banned from a Political Meme sub for posting a <checks notes> political meme.
Plus, lemmy dogpiles from the get go: if your post/comment gets to ‘-1’ off the bat, there’s zero chance of recovery.
This is a common social media trend so it shouldn’t be surprising that it happens on lemmy too.
Most of the time when I see a seemingly innocuous comment being downvoted checking the user history shows they are actually meaning it in a negative way or pregending to the sarcastic. But yeah, it sucks when it is just a misunderstanding as that certainly happens too.
Sometimes for fun when I get the occasional comment that gets misinderstood I slap on an edit pointing that out fully expecting more downvotes, but sometimes it turns around. Always worth it.
The post: A picture of bowing nurses in a hospital with the caption: “Chinese Doctors bow down to an 11-year-old boy with brain cancer who saved several lives by donating his organs.He wanted to give another people a second chance he never got”
The comment: “ok, let me position myself… 3…2…1… bow everyone!”
The point being that these idiots obviously either bowed just for the camera or had to organise to recreate the bowing moment, both of which are absurd.
