!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

This post was written by Nintendo.

why would Nintendo actively tell people to follow up on their warranty?

Why would they do the thing they do on the box, the website, in a little packet, and over the phone?..

I think I should explain. A post is the main, original content that someone uploads to the internet for others to reply to, supplying a separate space, called a comment section, for people to discuss. It can be a picture, text, link, or some combination of the three.

A comment, despite being able to hold the same content, is not a post as it is not the main, original content someone posted. A comment does not create a separate space, but it does create a comment thread, a string of replies, usually by separate users.

A comment is to a post as the red marks on your school papers were to your writings. Hope that helps!

Could've just said you were referring to the original post, and not the comment you replied to.

But I enjoyed explaining the difference between a post and a comment a fair bit more. I comment for me! But I’m a bit upset that no one has “umm, actually’d” the mistake I added later.
