Russia gears up to ban Discord 'in the coming days' by Donut in c/news@beehaw.org

[-] Donut@leminal.space 52 points 1 month ago

"The problem is that for Russian developers, communication with the community, including the international one, and technical support are implemented through Discord,"

Well that's their problem, isn't it? It's also a problem over here. Technical support regarding simple questions is fine, but any in-depth troubleshooting should honestly be done outside of Discord.

Entire HR Team Fired After Manager Uses His Own Resume To Prove Their System Is Auto-Rejecting All Candidates by Donut in c/workreform@lemmy.world

Why is this a news article? It's a reddit comment to a reddit post. And while I like to take things at face value, believing a reddit post is another level of gullible.

Sid Meier was apparently baffled by the decision to launch Civilization 5 without Genghis Khan: 'Sid said, What?' by Donut in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

[-] Donut@leminal.space 60 points 2 months ago

Can it still be called "Sid Meier's" Civilization when he doesn't even know what the game ships with?

Don't get me wrong, I've been playing since CIV2 and it's been pretty good, but that just strikes me as weird.

AI stole my job and my work, and my boss didn’t know or care by Donut in c/workreform@lemmy.world

(...) the boss didn't know – or care

Oh they knew. Don't be naive

Looks like Valve is introducing a new review system to filter out "unhelpful" reviews by Donut in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[-] Donut@leminal.space 166 points 3 months ago

Fucking finally. I love a funny joke but if you're looking for serious reviews, you currently have to wade through a sea of trolls, jokes and copy-pasted meme reviews in order to figure out if a game is interesting to you.

Community features are cool but if you're the most popular platform of your kind, you're gonna attract a lot of trolls who's content can be really out there. Filters are a good solution to this!

To Fix CrowdStrike Blue Screen of Death Simply Reboot 15 Straight Times, Microsoft Says by Donut in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

“We have received feedback from customers that several reboots (as many as 15 have been reported) may be required, but overall feedback is that reboots are an effective troubleshooting step at this stage."

A lot of liberties taken with that headline.

YouTube offers virtual trophies so you can feel bad about quitting premium (leminal.space)

I started a free trial and cancelled it immediately to have no ads while on holiday. Didn't realize they are offering some illusion of achievements as a "reward" for your attention, doubling as a FOMO weapon for when you want to quit.

Fallout 4 upgrade launches to mixed response, with broken mods and bugged Xbox quality mode by Donut in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[-] Donut@leminal.space 61 points 6 months ago

The quality mode not working is the only real bug. Mods being broken because of an update is expected and normal. Give the mod creators time to update their work and it will be fine.

Unless they've moved on to other projects, then you gotta use a specific version of the game. But that's also not out of the ordinary.

Red Dead Redemption II got an award for its continued support, despite barely receiving any updates since 2021 by Donut in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

[-] Donut@leminal.space 58 points 10 months ago

I think people just love to troll so they nominated Starfield. Then figured it would be really funny if SF won.

Unless the reality is that the majority of gamers does not give a single fuck about quality and innovation and just wants to play the next ~~FIFA~~ EA FC, CoD and Bugthesda stuff
