If you know what HTTP means but not PvE, that’s a you problem then. HTTP is a common term among tech circles, and if I read it on tomshardware or even on slashdot 25 years ago and didn’t know for sure what it meant, I wouldn’t feel compelled to hop on a discussion board to complain about them not defining a common term on a site that caters to tech circles that are familiar with it.
In 2024 we are literally a ‘highlight the text and right click’ away from figuring out what something means.
My point is that your complaint is redundant. And now even has me commenting in a redundant and needless manner.
Maybe a less derisive version of your comment without all the superfluous externalities would be “I wasn’t sure what PvE was, and just for anyone like me that wasn’t sure, it means Player versus Environment, which is just another way of saying playing against the computer.”
Perhaps the problem was the implied tonality of your initial post. Your edit on the top level comment claiming downvotes are from unwelcoming people is entirely off the mark and as equally adversarial as the original comment’s flavor.
See… communities like gaming and movies haven’t changed a bit in 25 years. They’re about games and entertainment. That is, shit that doesn’t really matter in life. Games and movies are there to provide fun. But they’re filled with insufferable people who write paragraphs about dense shit.
Why can’t you just say “don’t know what pve is? lol! k, buddy. I’m glad you found out. Hey, you should try this game and that game, they’re awesome! So much fun!!”
But no… it has to be “durr hurr… superfluous externalities…!!!”
