Then why are you in the discussion

My point was that I didn't even have to look at the forums to know they were fuckin miserable for those games, not that they're the only bad parts. Just write it off as a fuckin nasty cesspit not even worth digging through for troubleshooting threads

Being a toddler is traumatic! They have no knowledge of the world around them and it's frequently terrifying. Why do you think young children cry so much? Ignorance is scary.

No, I don't. That's my point, they're so unmoderated it's all just bullshit, and the problem is that it frequently and regularly devolves into hateful bullshit. I wish Valve would have a more robust moderation system so the forums could be more useful. However, Valve just pushed the problem to the developers and doesn't ensure any baseline level of quality between games.

As much as I do actually like Valve and Steam, this is a big issue and has been forever.

Before the guillotine got them

Frankly I'm shocked people don't recognize how prevalent it is. So many game releases have discussion forums plagued with "anti-woke" bullshit plastered everywhere. I just write off the forums for any game that features a black or female main character, let alone LGBT representation.

You definitely aren't looking very hard

No mods online? That sucks big, there's several mods I really don't want to do without.

Most the ignorant people I know are the most angry, miserable people I've ever met, so idk maybe that's bullshit too

It's a great place to create extremists, there is basically no moderation and people say some fucking awful shit on Steam forums. I think this is a long time coming, honestly.

I haven't seen a single person mention Mastodon on bsky, I've only seen people talk about it here.

Eh, I find a lot of people the attraction is towards the person themselves and that makes them more interested in their hobbies anyway. Like if someone is into you, they'll probably try to take an interest in Warhammer or whatever because you're into it.
