Why Does Rule 1 (Help Us Help You) Exist?Ģ - You may not make threads on unreleased content. For this reason, we require all posts to be at least 300 characters long. People can't help you make a decision if you don't express yourself.
Give us details about what types of games you enjoy, which games you don't enjoy, and why you're unsure about your purchase.
When asking for a recommendation, help us by providing context to your question. Here, you can ask others questions about any game on Steam or any other game on any console, whether it is about the graphics, the plot, the game play, or even the length.ĭo not open links to games sent to you through PM, as these often contain malware Rulesġ - Help Us Help You. Another alternative is just including an email subscription system that includes the text of new comments with the email, but this is essentially admitting the UI is broken by allowing me to not use it.Have you ever wanted to buy a game on Steam but didn't know if it was good? Have you ever had just enough money for an indie game but didn't know whether it was worth buying? Have you ever asked yourself, "Should I buy this game ?" I guess you could maybe argue for a software that auto-collapses all threads that contain no new replies so you can just read the expanded threads on new visits, but I’ve never seen a forum that does that because the very sites that would see the need for such a feature aren’t using threaded discussion at all. It’s actually impossible to come up with something worse. You basically have to look at every single post to find the new ones. Have you ever tried reading a threaded discussion and then coming back to it? (reading only direct replies to you does not count) It’s awful. As a result I had a particular interest in at least scanning all new replies. The thread itself was also about a competition which I participated in. For some background, the top-voted comment is by me, about a github repo I started relevant to the subject of the thread.
Take my remark that threads are meant to be read exactly once and not to conduct a month-long discussion. I agree that Brilliant’s threading is an imperfect implementation however, I think it’s interesting because I think the worst problems with their UI are just exaggerated versions of inherent problems with threading.
