This happened to me a few times lately.

Half Life 2 VR Mod - Played it for ~4 hours, before all of a sudden it won't launch. I click on play in Steam, and after 3-4 seconds, nothing happens, then the play button is active again. No errormessage, nothing.

Resident Evil 2 Remake - I have almost 15 hours in it, almost finished the Claire campaign, when from one day to the next it won't launch. Just a black window pops up for one second, then it just stops, the play button is active again, so this game also leaves the user hanging without any errormessage.

Look, I have been gaming on PC since 2000, and with 25 years of experience, these situations are infuriating for me. I have my goto steps (check file integrity in Steam, update nVidia drivers, ec.) and if those don't work, I look on the Steam forums, google, etc for solutions, so eventually I'm gonna figure it out.

But dear gamedevs, please, please, please for the sake of less savvy players, include at least some clue of what the user should do. A blanket statement to the effect of "game failed to launch, please try the following: verify game files, uninstall then reinstall game, make sure you are on the latest drivers for your GPU, etc etc. If game still won't launch, visit our FAQ page here, where we listed all possible solutions..." could suffice for people who just want to play. At least they would not be totally stumped, and would have some options before they also google the problem, but man... Also, maintaining a FAQ about launch issues, bugs, crashes, etc. would be expected for a paid customer to have support for their product...

I somewhat understand that in 2025, game devs can expect everyone to eventually google what they don't know, but an errormessage would still go a long way in establishing a communication with the user in the time of crisis - "Hey, we failed now, but we have some general ide about the problem, here are some general options, and here is where you could seek further help" is an essential part of customers support - even in 2025, and it's so basic, I don't even understand why I am still talking about this.

TL;DR - User loses it over games that don't show errormessages after failing to launch.

I don't even plan on watching any of their fucking video. They just gave me a free trial I never bothered even looking into when I ordered something from Amazon.co.uk.

Doordash deserves it's fate (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

2 pizzas, a small order of breadsticks, and wanted to splurge and get cinnamon sticks.

Pizzas are a "Buy one get one deal!" at 13 bucks a pizza. Figured what the hell, I'll splurge on desert then with the deal. Get to checkout... hold on a minute.... 50 dollars for pizza?! Wait a minute 80 dollars after fees and taxes?!

Usually I only use Doordash for finding something, then I order direct from the store. I just saw the sweet "buy one get one" deal and thought eh, fine I'm here. Right, that's why I stopped using door dash. I'm not spending 80 dollars on freaking pizza. I'll just go pick it up and spend a quarter of that price.

At least I would have saved the $3 dollar delivery fee. Phew. Thanks DoorDash.

Just lost my job and it's so depressing seeing stuff like this every single day. 400+ applications and you don't even get a call anymore. Nothing from recruiters. When you do get an offer, its 20% lower pay than ever before, while cost of living goes up. So you have to engage in borderline indentured servitude just to eat and pay rent.

Context: I started !norway@sopuli.xyz to be an English-language comm for Norway. There's an existing Norway comm which focuses on Norwegian-language content and discourages too much English in the comm. I posted a simple "Hey I'm starting this comm" post, because obviously relevant. The mod took down my post without any comment, reply, or reason. Now they lurk in my English version comm, and downvote like half the posts. They've never actually upvoted a thing.

Oh, they also reported one of my posts as 'Not relevant to community'.

Talk about petty. They didn't even start the comm themselves, they took it over a few months ago because it was abandoned, and have done pretty much nothing to drive activity in it since taking it over. I decided to post here instead of YPTB because I don't feel like it crosses the line into mod abuse, it's just annoyingly petty.

There is an "actually infuriating" community. Go use that for political and other terrible things happening in the world. That is not the purpose of the community. All of that is important but not the point of this community. Go post where it belongs and let me have a break from it here.

I think I'm up for actually being a mod here if help is desired. I've not done it before but am willing to help if needed.

I get moving from reddit but just leave your comments up, this just made me have to do guesswork based on OP's reply.

This is at least the second email I got asking to "collaborate" on Google Play. Protect your accounts, folks.

My favorite part is how he addresses it to himself.

Our democracy is at immediate risk, and history is repeating itself. What Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing mirrors the actions of past authoritarian regimes. It took just 53 days for Hitler to dismantle Germany’s democracy. 53 days. He used executive orders, erased marginalized groups, and silenced opposition—while too many stood by and did nothing.

Trump’s executive order erases transgender and intersex people from legal recognition—just like Hitler erased Jewish and trans people from legal records before persecution began.

Elon Musk now has access to the U.S. Treasury’s financial system—just like Putin’s oligarchs seized control of Russia’s wealth to consolidate power.

Trump is erasing vital medical information from our government and silencing opposition—just like Hitler suppressed science and banned opposing views.

Trump is dismantling government agencies, firing oversight officials, and gutting institutions like USAID and the Department of Education—just like Hitler replaced government officials with loyalists to eliminate accountability.

We are on day 15, and we are running out of time. We have to make change, or our democracy will be gone.

I distinctly remember the right (including trolls on Lemmy) arguing that US citizens shouldn't vote in democrats, as they would perpetuate the genocide while Trump would end it.

I suppose they were right, he wants to expedite it by helping Israel with it directly.

It rotates and after some minutes shows the departure times. But if you're in hurry you want the time immediately, not after a while

We are really witnessing the beginning of the fascist oligarch USA.

Even if the ducks killed weren't from a protected species, anyone in Italy is required to have a hunting permit, even on private lands. This permit is almost impossible to get for a foreigner because it's an exam with a lot of extremely specific questions in Italian

2025 is deemed the year of layoffs. That's what a hiring manager told me jokingly the other day. Time to squeeze the oranges hard as you possibly can until it's about the burst! I think everyone is terrified. I certainly am. It's infuriating. You work hard, do everything you're supposed to do, and you lose no matter what happens
