    Just as a reminder, the only thing the original comment that I replied to said was:

    To be fair, you can’t exactly ask for a GIMP replacement on r/GIMP and not expect that reaction

    There was no context in the original image or the original comment that the OP was being an ass about it. All I was arguing is that you shouldn’t immediately expect toxicity if you’re not being toxic yourself. I do agree it’s not the proper place to ask, and that your answers aren’t going to be super helpful.

    Depends on how you ask.

    “This is a horrible program and I hate everything about it. Any of you actually using this program are masochists and need to get some help. Anyway, can you idiots recommend some alternatives?”

    vs

    “I tried out this program and didn’t really like it, it was too complicated to use (or) doesn’t have a feature I need, do you guys know of any good alternatives I can try out?”

    Apparently the OP in this image was closer to the first one, so I don’t really blame them for being toxic. But if I asked like in the second example and these are the responses I get, they’re the problem, not my question.












  • Good old modded Terraria once again. Thorium + Overhaul + Eternity mode with a friend is pretty fun. Turns out Thorium’s sword sheaths are fucking cracked with Overhaul’s sword changes. I one-shot several bosses and had to stop using them lol.

    My other friends started playing RLCraft recently, which has got me in the mood to play a hardcore Minecraft modpack. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble finding any that aren’t either complete BS (my issue with RLCraft) or feel incredibly unfinished (like RotN, where over half the guide book entities are placeholder text and the wiki link on the main page leads to a dead wiki).





  • “renting” it is still taking money from the author even if the damage is physically limited to one item.

    I do see where you’re coming from, but not necessarily. If my friend has zero interest in ever buying said book (or can’t afford to) and would never become a paying customer, there is no downside to sharing a copy. In fact, if they like the book enough, they may even become incentivized to buy themselves a copy or look into the author’s other work legitimately when they otherwise wouldn’t have.

    This is how/why I pirate most games. I don’t have the type of pocket money to spend on games I don’t know I’ll love, so I pirate them first. If they’re good enough, I’ll buy the actual game on steam later. Spider-Man, Baldur’s Gate 3, Cassette Beasts, etc. are all games I plan to buy when I can afford to. And I can promise I never would have bought Slime Rancher 2 if I hadn’t pirated the first one at some point and enjoyed it.


  • I wasn’t able to start gaming until I was around like 12, but when I did, I loved a game called Dungeon Defenders on the Xbox 360. Came out in 2011, so it’s not nearly as old as most of the games listed here.

    Dungeon Defenders was actually full of modded accounts on the Xbox, and they distributed loot everywhere that did like a billion damage and one shot everything (yet somehow I still sucked at the harder maps lol). I could never enjoy the game now with all the modded shit, but back then it was fucking awesome. It’s the game that got me into modding and is the reason I’m as computer savvy as I am today, so it will always be a fond memory in my head.
