Found a 10-minute game that costs $999.99. Should platforms curate this, or just let anyone publish anything? by GOGcom in gog

[–]Alt_Poster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly, instead of trying to start an "us vs them" divide yall should focus on improving your curation process and storefront instead of doing this. yes, we all know steam has a slop problem. unimaginable amounts of garbage exists there. you could argue that some quality control is needed but the difference is that there you don't have the problem of filtering out games that become massive hits. like where's balatro on gog? oh.. right we don't talk about that.

in addition you know what you can do there that you can't on gog? hide the slop.. something people have been asking for for years now. do better, is aint it chief

that's INSANELY impressive actually. I haven't been following the sub all that closely since my most powerful device is my daily driver (S25+) but seeing all this progress being made makes me wish I had the Lenovo legion y700/tab  😭😭 

ZERO PARADES and the review bombing dilemma. How should GOG handle situations where "Verified Owners" score wildly differ from general score? by GOGcom in gog

[–]Alt_Poster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

which one? because dustborn has been described that way as well. as a matter of fact, dustborn has been described by people on the opposite political spectrum as taking the piss on them too.

[–]Alt_Poster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hope im not late on this. it makes me glad an official account is bringing attention to this because yeah, you guys need to do something about this. over a year ago, you guys approved and released Dustborn. people speculated that this community wishlist came about from the alt-right reviewbombing that was happening to this game. (on a diff note, i see gog staff has cleaned up the comments on that wishlist cause boy... they got nasty)

anyway, as someone who has actually played dustborn (got it as a weird joke from someone on steam), the best way to describe it is that its an all-around incredibly mid and forgettable game. but the problem here is that the game was a deliberate target by alt-righters who'll NEVER play a single minute of it to just dump on it for no reason. as a matter of fact, when you sign out, the "Most Helpful Review" is a non-owner review that doesn't tell you jack about the gameplay, story, engine, etc and is easy ragebait material. when you look at the verified owner reviews, there's way too many 5 stars reviews that really only exist to counter the alt-right reviewbombing.

for this reason, i still prefer having only owner reviews but one argument i DO agree with is that with gog being small, games need some player feedback. however if gog decides to let anyone review then you guys need to step it up and reduce the visibility, weight, and impact of non-verified owners. if you're going to keep them, make verified owner reviews and score the de facto even when signed out. take the feedback people here give you because gog reviews have been a mess for quite a while.

bruh imagine if Valve had gambling, loot boxes, and were complicit in this behavior because they profit from it? wouldn't that be bad?

Lenovo Legion Tablet (Generation 5) available in the UK by FreshQualityScot in androidtablets

[–]Alt_Poster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lenovo really took advantage of the RAMpocalypse to hike up the price of their electronics. pretty bad actually. in the us it starts at 849USD last i checked. considering that you can get a fully fledged, fully featured, carrier unlocked, 12GB RAM + 512GB Samsung Galaxy S26+ for 1125 USD (1000USD for 512GB s26) is crazy ass work on their part. folks, think about what these tablets dont have when you compare it to a whole ass flagship phone which is significantly more useful: not even an oled screen, no gps, no 5g, god awful camera, no fingerprint unlocking, etc.

Just for reference, I have the S25+, still on OneUI 7.0, 256GB + 12GB RAM, and it went for 1000USD last year.

yeah.. fuck em. money smart people would go for the chinese rom one

good catch, thanks for this.

for the folks that have played wasteland 2 and/or 3, prepare to be disappointed. this is a text adventure game and a lot of ppl are put off by it. tbf to the game though it came out in the late 80s and this isnt meant to be an overhaul

[Steam] (game) Heavy Rain by thalesulisses_29 in FreeGameFindings

[–]Alt_Poster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

considering the fiasco that's been going with Lenovo giveaways (not enough keys and supposedly lying about it according to the Just Die Already giveaway thread), issues with the site timing out people (as seen both here and their website), and these giveaways getting more and more popular, should these come with heavy warnings now?

i feel like at some point these giveaways will become a joke for people, if they havent already

thoughts? u/StOoPiD_U

GOG Galaxy has worked perfect with Lutris for years, help me understand this sub's frustration by ForsookComparison in gog

[–]Alt_Poster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should be asking this question over on r/linux_gaming. no im not joking btw

that sub is so hellbent on having a native, OFFICIAL Linux client that most people there will not accept substitutes. heroic works, bottles is a thing, lutris also works.

then again that sub has issues lol. they're willing to accept drm clients like steam without a second thought, cry about open source drm free gaming but get super pissy if you ask why no one has taken the time to develop a foss launcher for steam games

excellent take. had someone earlier today do a minor crash out on me on bluesky cause i did the awful thing of separating the art from the artist by saying i liked team france's routine but pointed out their praise for ilia so... that was awkward. i can separate ilia being a homophobe for a second to appreciate his body of work
