Ask Lemmy

I mistook a VLC update for enshittification. Can't remember what the update was about because I deleted the comment lol

I'm pretty sure my bickering about the election. I was very unpopular during that period. Now I'm just regular unpopular. 👍🏾

For context I asked if there was a way to disable "tips and tricks" (aka ads) in the lock screen in Windows without activating Windows. I was told to use NAS (Microsoft Activation Scripts, that can activate windows) in github but I replied with "without activating Windows"

I am not sure. A mod already deleted it and I don’t care enough to look it up. Probably some dumb shit I wrote while being on autopilot.

My most downvoted comment is me trolling during the US elections. My comment says that I won't vote, without giving the context of being unable to vote due to not being an US citizen. But it would be obvious to those paying attention to my instance. https://feddit.org/comment/2935779

"Or you can also play the game and buy the item ingame for 500RC, it's not that big of a deal."

About Dragon's dogma 2's character editor system.

They made it more lenient but I stand by what I said. I changed my characters aspect several times and I never put extra money. People were piiiiiiised about the extra one time purchase p2w stuff capcom put in the single player game, as if that was not their norm in most of their titles.

Good game, trash ending compared to the first one though.

BTW, my most controversial comment is also about DD2 LMAO:

" I'm going to be downvoted to hell, but I'm loving the game, and all the mtx and complaints about the easy to travel and such are from people that didn't play the original, honestly. This game is like the original but better, maintaining the spirit of the original.

Yes, you could buy revival stones in the original too.

The legit complains are the performance issues and crashes, but anything else... Idk what to tell you, they knew that the slow gameplay that is expected of the player would not be well received but wanted to conserve the original feel, so if you want to bypass the original feel go for it. I won't. "

More just that Bethesda is the biggest maker of Triple A RPGs and they're finally updating the creation engine in a significant way. That said, to my knowledge, its still one of the more technically advanced RPGs (even if it doesn't do much with that tech) and could hopefully at least work as a proof of concept to more ambitious developers.

I made the mistake of going against the circlejerk and saying Starfield was relatively advanced tech by RPG standards. I was called toxic for even daring to suggest it was trying to innovate.

I don’t know how to find that on lemmy. I don’t know how to get my top comment either. None of the sorting functions seem to work.

I posted a meme of Trump giving the viewer the double fingers with "Cry Harder" as a caption.
It was intended to be sarcastic, as in NOT Pro-Trump, and a cursory view of that account's posting history would support that view. The crowd went berserk and that account was banned from the Political Memes, News, and asklemmy.....

Don't know actually. mbin doesn't support sorting comments by... points?

"This is the reaction to the other side's reaction. Now we push edgy again, and you guys get called 2018 dinosaurs."

It was basically a conversation about the culture wars and political correctness on Reddit. I think of things in cycles. The Reddit Human Resources crew thought they'd be in power forever because they're objectively "right."

Not the case.

"context is important"

I was trying to help an angry redditor understand the discussion they were raging about.

I advocated for private schools in a casual conversations community, that's the one that has the highest ratio of down votes so that's all I know
