Oh, are we starting the reddit tradition of making no effort at all and just immediately asking the community for help instead?
Great.
I can certainly see we're keeping the reddit-tradition of being an angry little muppet at any given opportunity alive.
Yes, I asked a public forum for help about something I didn't know. And they came through for me, more so than I would have expected.
You can go back to being angry elsewhere now. Shoo...
You could have just... LOOKED. I've got no problem when its a question with more nuance than a google search can answer easily, or if its an opinion based question, but all I ask is people just TRY before making a post somewhere when the answer is so simple.
And you didn't even have to click on my shitty post as it already had (SOLVED) in the title
Because I want you to do better next time.
Oi. You two. Take it easy hey.
Sorry dad.
It literally says "Skip" right underneath the thing you're complaining about. If you'd taken the time to look at the screen, you'd have seen it itself.
Some people have bad eyesight. Some people have been deeply trained by the modern web to ignore most of what's on the page (most of it being ads or other bullshit). Some people make mistakes.
Have some patience and kindness.
And to those who wont be patient or kind, just know that the next time the self-checkout machine yells at you and the cashier has to come scan their badge and gives you grief, you deserve it. Can't you just use the machine correctly!?!
You already had comments removed from this thread yesterday. Since you couldn't take the hint to disengage and stop this bickering, I'm temp banning you from this community for 24 hours. No matter how irritated you are that OP didn't pay attention to the prompt to skip login, this isn't an acceptable way to behave on this instance.
@TheRtRevKaiser
thank you for your mod work!
Before that, there's just a button that says "Get Started!" Right underneath the sentence "Sigh up for a Larian Account." Otherwise the launcher was blank.
I mistook that as being a forced sign-up, as with some many other games nowadays.
Also, I'm not complaining about anything. I was looking for advise as there seldomly are easy, search-engine friendly, solutions to forced sigh-ups.
If you'd taken the time to read through the comments, you might have gleaned the context for yourself. But since you took the time to click on a (SOLVED)-post and then write the same message the guy before did, I felt compelled to spell it all out. Just for you.
That button in the corner saying skip account is really hard, okay?!?
Repeating other peoples sentiments two days later is really constructive, okay?!?
Get out of here, Sleepy.
Imagine if you put all this effort you made from this post, including it’s whiny, snarky comments, and like.. idk took less than 5 seconds to be constructive and figure out your answer.
I mean seriously, a 10 year old could have figured it out.
It's my post. I get notified whenever one of you sillybillies get the bright idea to call me an idiot instead of just scrolling on.
Gonna be honest, this comment further down explains why you should have some compassion even on posts that seem obvious to you: https://beehaw.org/comment/883359
Consider taking this approach in the future.
Nah.
This is different. This post by op is simply lack of effort and ignorance. There’s a minimum expectation of effort here. Gotta at least try for your self before you reach out and waste people’s time.
I had no skip button.
It's not as clear cut as you might think.
