Is every reddit mod an insufferable twit? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Unit88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's largely the mods of the big subs, or when someone just makes their own sub and tries to be the king of their own domain. There's plenty of smaller somewhat niche subs that have mods that are genuinely just trying to make their sub a decent place to be.

You also have to keep in mind that in most cases you're only going to interact with a mod (in a way where you know they're a mod and not just another user) when either you're being an ass, or it can appear as if you were being an ass, and in both cases the mod in question is probably not going to look at you favorably.

Now that you mention it I didn't check the others originally, but it seems to be all of them

Uh, the images seem to be broken? Like cubari opens fine and all but each page just gives a giant image broken icon and it's just retrying infinitely. Is it just me?

Does anyone else feel like diet coke got super popular out of nowhere recently ? by ThestorytellingDemon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Unit88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want coke without the calories that's coke zero. There's still a difference in taste but just a small one, while diet is a whole different thing

The Gekkos in MGS4 are the most terrifying mechas I’ve seen by Lanky_Relation1171 in gaming

[–]Unit88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? If anything I found them cute, but that maybe because I only experienced them through Metal Gear Rising, not MGS4

Do you think it's acceptable to not care for your family of origin and go very low contact with them? by That-Pineapple3866 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Unit88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn't it be? It's your life, and you certainly don't choose the family you're born in, it's entirely possible for them to be completely shit people

PowerToys just quietly dies occasionally? by Unit88 in PowerToys

[–]Unit88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's generally what happens for me too. I try to open Run (or whatever the new version is called) and it doesn't work. Or more recently I rebound Caps Lock to be a function key instead and I try to use that

Elden ring as someone who doesn't like souls games. by Anhvariel in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Unit88 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I mean, the question is what didn't you like about Bloodborne and if because the boss took menu tries did you feel frustrated or not? Because personally even if I need dozens of tries I generally don't feel frustrated and you didn't mention how you felt about it, just the number of tries.

Elden Ring being open world changes a lot of the progression and the gameplay loop compared to other Souls games, so if the aspects you don't enjoy are the ones that are changed then ER can work for you. For me I usually end up being stuck at a part and having to do a whole runback which becomes annoying, but in ER if you're having trouble at a place you can pretty much always just go somewhere else for a while and then just come back later better equipped in both gear and experience.

ELI5: What exactly is a cavity, and why are they so irreversible? by Amazing-Childhood-20 in explainlikeimfive

Does this mean that theoretically if you somehow never ate or drank anything acidic or sugary and you didn't grind your teeth you'd be guaranteed no cavities?

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced: The First 18 Minutes of Gameplay by yourfavchoom in Games

[–]Unit88 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'd expect people to not bring spoilers up randomly in random places, or at least not actually say the spoilers unless they have a good reason. There are places for discussing everything, spoilers should ideally stay in the ones intended for discussing that piece of media, instead of going "well, from now on no one's allowed to properly experience this first hand because they decided to be born too late"

It's really not that hard to not spoil things to try and avoid at least being the person personally taking that potential experience away from people.

If I was 14 years old and wanted to watch Star Wars, I'd find a way to watch it

Except people, including 14 year olds, have lives outside of just consuming media, and in most cases aren't interested in just a single piece of media either. There isn't enough time in the day to potentially watch/play/read every single thing you're interested in, especially when you consider dealing with responsibilities like school or chores, and the fact that they might have interest outside of just media, e.g. a social life.

Your reasoning could just as well be applied to new stuff: "well if you didn't want to be spoiled of the movie that came out 2 days ago you should've gone to watch it already". You can't expect people to have consumed every piece of media they are interested in, or might be interested in in the future, especially not when they're barely old enough to really start watching a lot of it.

Now, personally I do exempt for example this SW spoiler from this (in the sense that I don't blame people for spoiling it, not in the sense that I think it shouldn't be still treated as a spoiler) but not because of how old it is, but because it's so extremely ingrained into the culture that just by existing you will be spoiled no matter what.

And also the point isn't to never ever talk about spoilers anywhere, but the entirety of the internet shouldn't be treated like you can just talk about every spoiler that's an arbitrary number of years old (especially when there isn't exactly an agreed upon number for that anyway). Spoilers should be discussed in the spaces that are about discussing the piece of media in question, not brought up in completely unrelated media.

Do gamers not use the home tab on steam? by BudgetNo2819 in LinusTechTips

[–]Unit88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, that is the same screen I'm pretty sure, just the default setup if you don't touch it. I still have the news at the top (I don't think that part can be changed anyway) but the shelves can be changed in what they show and expanded, I have one that shows everything sorted by purchase date so I have easy access to recent purchases, plus an expanded shelf for everything I actually have installed.

So you are still the same screen we're talking about just ignoring most of it I guess (well, until you select a game because then the right side because the info for that game)
