Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    So, I imagine that the person you replied to would agree that's also a bad reason to rate a game.

    Indeed. If you buy something and it doesn't work, or it's shit, or contains greedy monetisation, that's fair enough. Downvote away.

    But the requirements say Windows, you can't really complain when it doesn't run on Linux. It's complaining that a banana doesn't taste like an apple. Indiana Jones isn't out for the PS5, but I haven't gone and given it a bad review because of it...

    There is no reason to ever rate a game badly. If it runs poorly or not at all youre the moron for using banana instead of tomato. If you don't like it cause the game is not good, its your own fault for making a dish following a curry recepie when you hate curry.

    Go and play Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing and then tell me that again.

    Really makes you feel like

    Well it certainly doesn't make you feel like a trucker.

    You lost me at "no reason to rate a game badly"

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

    Missing /s?

    Or are you legitimately saying there are no bad games?
    If it doesn't run it's your own fault?
    If you think it's badly designed, bland and uninspired, that's on you?

    I was clearly stretching the analogy of the person I was replying to show how bad it was.

    Dear friend, context clues should clearly indicate their comment is sarcastic.

    Thank you.

    I thought so, but I've heard even more deranged takes said with full sincerity
