A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It was sort of ambitious for people to think they'd be on reddit with the same account in 20 years

[–] gk99@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't think so, reddit was so dominant that had they simply not decided to anger all their power users, we'd all still be on there like nothing had changed. A good platform has staying power, I've been on Steam for 16 years and I have no plans of bailing on it because it's simply the best gaming platform I've ever used. It's not game lock-in or anything, most of my games I could buy elsewhere or pirate, I just like having the features and all these other ones popping up like GOG Galaxy still aren't overtaking it despite the good PR.

Capitalism killed it. That's how things go. They are great for a while then get too big and have to keep growing for some reason. The pursuit of perpetual growth ruins everything

Agreed. Have been on Steam for almost 19 years. Nothing has really degraded as far as the service goes, and Valve's approach to listening to community feedback is good. We've saw controversy, mainly Paid Mods and CS:GO gambling, both have been taken care of for the most part due to community pushback. I can't think of a controversy that has made me want to leave the service though. With Reddit, it was a slow decline to its death on July 1st.

Not gonna lie, it was the will Reddit fiasco that has me concerned about my game library when Gabe goes

When I buy a game I now always look first if there's a DRM-free version on GOG

I never thought about that before. I wonder how many were actually important.

Well, shit, there were 3 things I asked it to remind me, which I clearly don't remember anymore already.

Would that bot even be functional long term with the API changes?

[–] keenanpepper@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unless someone makes some kind of migration tool perhaps...
