I guess I wasn’t clear here. I am not saying these bots aren’t coming from these instances or that all these things you were documenting happening. But “coordinated vote manipulation between the admins of these two specific instances“ was the original claim here, right?

This is feeling a lot like what we saw on Reddit: people seeing something suspicious (valid), jumping to one of the less likely conclusions, and then making the pieces fit that support that theory.
I think you are right that there is something that maybe needs to be done about these two instances, but vote manipulation coordination? Nothing here remotely points to that.
- Comment on Nintendo president responds to Switch 2 price increase fears amid Trump tariff fallout 1 day ago:
That’s what I’m referring to. Even used, even 10 years old, their physical games hold 80-90% of their value. Some even go up. Their hardware retains like 70%+ of value used.

You can’t be a patient gamer and a Nintendo fan. Their price is never fucking come down lmao
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch 1 day ago:
You say shortsighted yet people have been putting up with it for eight years and all they do is gripe online about it or buy third-party solutions. Nintendo did not take much time reputational or financial hit because of it. If they did, they would’ve fixed it. No speculation required.

People are going to buy it anyway. There is no amount of abuse a Nintendo fanboy won’t endure.
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 2 days ago:
Wow what a time warp. Yeah everyone legitimately worried the Xbone and PS4 were going to flop hard. PS4 did great, Xbone was respectable all things considered. It was such a concern that the demand to be cross generation hampered the development of DA: Inquisition and many other games because they’re publishers thought they were going to need to pick up 360/PS3 sales to bridge the gap in sales. Wild time - and talk about getting it wrong!

- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 2 days ago:
Yeah I think that’s probably the case as well. Same reason there are tons of people who have both a switch and a steam deck. They do not fill the same role.
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 2 days ago:
I would’ve entertained this argument more in 2017 at switch’s launch, but smartphone gaming has not significantly eaten into console or PC gaming marketshares. Definitely not to the degree people were anticipating in the 2010s that’s for sure.

BG3 may have had an influence but I imagine they looked at games like Mario & Rabbids, Xcom, Gears Tactics, and others which all tend to sell well. These games play pretty differently from BG3.

- Comment on Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential) 5 days ago:
The steam deck can get fucky with 2 Bluetooth devices (forget 3) so unless you plan on a M or K you need a dock or dongle, unless you plan on not charging either.
- Comment on Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential) 5 days ago:
Comfort or not you can just do it. I’ve done it plenty. It’s a viable option
- Comment on Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential) 6 days ago:
I am a huge proponent of the steam deck but there are a few things you’re kind of leaving out here
-
You would be surprised how many people actually don’t have a mouse on hand. But if they do, you do have to calculate that into the cost.
-
you need a dock or at least a cheap USB-C dongle unless the only thing you plan on hooking up to the steam deck is your mouse
-
The deck is getting a little longer in the tooth. I love it, I use it a ton, but it is definitely starting to show its age.
-
It can’t play Nintendo switch/switch 2 games natively, which many people who shit on Nintendo (I am one of those people don’t get me wrong) tend to forget is a pretty huge part of the appeal of Nintendo platforms.

Not worth the effort, to be honest

If you’re going to start spreading conspiracies about bots astroturfing our small corner of the internet you’re gonna need to present at least some modicum of evidence.

Hi another recent Linux adopter jumping in on a “fuck windows” thread.
Seriously, it’s not hard to shift. If you’re use to macOS, get Elementary. If you’re used to Windows, try Mint. Your machine will probably be fine for either. Setup/testing it out is trivial.

Alan Wake 2 is very x-files/zany in its own way. They don’t play it as serious in some ways.

The last two didn’t bomb. Oxenfree 2 is estimated to have made a modest profit despite being available for “free” on Netflix and it was critically well received.

Yeah I think it’s obvious they want some brand awareness out of this, but the projects they are funding, like ladybird, really are pretty great
