Well yeah, in high school. Haven’t seen this one being self-applied, though I may be wrong.
Sure, but I thought incel was a specific online community that called themselves that.
“Hello, fellow human! I have received word that you remain celibate for reasons beyond your control! I shall now bask in the humor of this observation while you stand awkwardly mute.”
Correct. “Incel” was originally a self-named grouping of “involuntary celibates” that wanted to turn it into a badge of honor. I think it morphed recently into a general insult when the wider world found out about the community.
It’s not actually all that funny, because the wider world found out about the community when one of them murdered a bunch of people.
Appropriateness is a social construct. Social groups don’t stand on any principle like respect toward others. They just pick the terms and groups they like and don’t like.

Edit: holy shit what thread am I even in.
I wasn’t complaining about a stereotype though. As a gamer, that whole gamer-gate thing was embarrassing. It’s about gamers being narrow minded and showing a lack of empathy.
Reason #864 that I prefer to buy my games on Steam. Playing the Tropico 6 beta, I noticed there was a sale on Tropico 4.

Why not just search through all your email? Assuming you use gmail, searching is extremely fast. That’s what I do.
Hell, I do that to find things I know I bought on Amazon.
Don’t you guys have Excel spreadsheets?
How is Black Desert still in the top 5 sold on Steam? I don’t get this. At all. Are the lists accurate and whats the difference between ‘Top Selling’ and ‘What’s Popular’?
Top Selling is just local list for your country, those can be a bit wonky sometimes for small countries. “Global top sellers” is the global (duh) list.
I think “what’s popular” is based on the number of players, no idea whether it’s the current number or the peak for the last 24h.
Hmm, I’m in the US so that means BDO has been a top seller for years here? I thought it might have something to do with Korean or Chinese markets churning thru accounts, but I guess not. Very odd, imo.
It’s ten bucks, pretty, and hitting the terrible survival crafting zeitgeist.
It being on the list now means that it’s been selling well recently (I’d guess it’s a window of 1-2 days), it doesn’t mean it’s been a top seller for years.
I just meant that I’ve noticed it on the top few of the Top Sellers list for ages. I only asked about it today, but I’m pretty sure it’s been up there for a year or more (at least since the Remastered version hit back in 17).
I actually have the game from way back in the day when it first came out in the US, but I bought it directly from them, not thru Steam. I tried to reinstall it last year and it never would redownload properly.
Fair enough :) It was indeed somewhere between 13th-24th position for highest grossing game on Steam last year:

BDO is indeed very pretty but like every Asian MMO localized to the west, it’s plagued with P2W elements and extreme grinding.
Oooohh, thanks. I was just looking for something like that on Steam. Figured it had to be there somewhere.
