"...fluffy non offensive, status quo game that is afraid of offending everyone..."

They seem pretty offended.

"Communist gay male on male propaganda ... afraid of offending anyone."

Clearly not afraid of offending someone mate.

Oh, come on. Communist gay male on male stuff is vanilla as it gets. That is the gateway drug.

Their opinions are garbage, but I gotta at least respect that they insisted on having it removed from their account even though they apparently got it for free, LOL

How the fuck do you refund a game you got for free...? 🤔

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I guess they give you your $0 back and remove it from your account. For when you hate it so much you can't stand to even see it in your list of owned games.

They should have put "As a russian..." at the start of the review so that everyone knows to immediately disregard it

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

russians are people too, especially common citizens

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not with the takes in that review

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

the most inhumane things are still done by humans, sadly.

"It was much better to imagine men in some smokey room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn't then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told the children bed time stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

that's nice. i keep putting off discworld, but eventually I'll get to it.

[–] MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip 11 points 8 months ago

For being a "fluffy non-offensive" game, they sure seem offended.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 8 months ago

I instantly remembered this from Jamrock Hobo's video :3

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

This review now makes me want to buy the game.

Before this, Shaun compared it to Shakespeare, and that's all I know

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago

I think it's pretty obvious ragebait LOL

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

I feel like I know this guy, Russian and bitching and moaning about how the gays ruin everything

[–] Pantir@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

I bet this guy plays FIFA.

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

This mf couldn't find his shoe.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

No, that says 1.6, not 7 hours.

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca -4 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Garbage review reason aside.

1.6 hours is within the 2 hour refund window steam has, plus they are voicing their opinion (as shitty as it is) on why they disliked the game after playing for 1.6 hours.

what's the issue here other then the obvious?

[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Only some of what he's talking about is even remotely in the game, and I don't think any of it is in the first 1.6 hours.

Also, he got it for free, so who cares about the refund window?

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

true, I didn't even see that lol

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Why would a fan community want to point and laugh at a deluded bigot mad at the game?

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

what else are deluded bigots good for other than pointing and laughing?

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Tank armour. Lion food. Slam pigging.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 1 points 8 months ago

All of those are still pretty fit for pointing and laughing. Reusable bigots!

Swift tap in the nuts. Doesn't have to be hard, just a quick one will render them on their knees. Rinse and repeat.

"My client murdered the victim, yes. But what's the issue here other than the obvious?"

Can you explain what you mean? Why would there be any other issue needed besides the obvious reason you yourself already acknowledge?
