Yeah, the quick way to filter them is a quick way to piss off Metacritic users.

How the fuck can you claim to have read what I wrote?

That kind of removal would be unpopular, a lot of people would drop Metacritic fast.

That's where we're going to focus the problem solving, when that's how you choose to stir shit up. We're going to focus on preventing climate activists from destroying shit, and we're going to talk about how to punish them.

You didn't read what I wrote.

You only saw the disagreement.

Your dad is a real motherfucker, Lally.

If my advice means anything, don't get reunited.

Is that really the smart thing?

I'm fairly confident that would be about as good for them as shooting themselves in the foot.

You have to realize what world you're living in. These people and their agreeing friends aren't just a loud minority, just yesterday they demonstrated something that really should have informed your worldview more than it seems to have, given what you suggest here. That kind of removal would be unpopular, a lot of people would drop Metacritic fast.

To an extent I agree with them, in that they ruined the tone of the game, but unlike these reviewers I personally think developers are allowed to make standalone slop. It doesn't ruin anything I've bought from them before.

Finally by all reasonable accounts it absolutely is a woke, pronoun-conscious, DEI focused game. Those words wouldn't even really be out of place if one showed up in a positive review.

You have to learn to think before you make yourself more unpopular.

I'm from Estonian Lemmy, and I'm not even Estonian!

Same. Idiots make it less, not more likely to see actual change.

If I went out and smeared yogurt in the face of every kid in a stroller to call attention to the cause, please stop me.

Don't worry, they'll start being forced to read the good book in school some time next year.

Stop Killing Games on track to not even reach the threshold to be brought up to the European Commission (lemm.ee)
 

It is at 361,826 out of 1,000,000 signatures with the remaining trickle after the initial spike nowhere near the pace needed to hit the mark before the 31st of July 2025.

(https://www.reddit.com/r/StopKillingGames/comments/1flaevi/let_me_put_the_current_campaign_progress_into_a/)

I interpret the state of Ross Scott's SKG campaign like this:
It's pretty clear that democratically speaking, we do not object to companies arbitrarily removing access to purchased video games. Only a minority objects to it.

While it will stay up and get more signatures, there will ultimately be no follow-through to this campaign. The reality is that it's not politically sound, it's not built on a foundation of a real public desire for change. In other words, voters don't want it. You might, but most of your family and friends don't want it.

My brother claims that Vanguard for League can do the same to gaming PCs that install it as CrowdStrike did to businesses who installed that, is this true? Does Vanguard have as much access/power? (lemm.ee)

What does kbin mean? Why is kbin.social called that? (lemm.ee)
 

Is it just random letters arrived to by keyboard mashing like a lot of federated websites seem, or is there any thought behind it?

Why does it seem like some of my sweaters have a soft and loose "lint layer" on the inside? (lemm.ee)
 

It's always particularly nice and soft the first time you put it on, but the one I got most recently is so bad it leaves a thin but thorough coat of black fur on my arms when I take it off. What's the production methods used when making sweaters like this?

If you're feeling ________, help is available. Call 1-800-CARE (lemm.ee)
 

"help" just means "a conversation"

and that really doesn't make a difference

worse, it's like you're saying "If you have cancer, treatment is available." but what you're actually offering is a daily bowl of fairly healthy soup. you're running exaggerated, optimistic advertising.

It was amazing for a decade or two, but now the night scares me, I do not know what awaits us in the morning.
