A Meme. The first half shows a screenshot of the game "Banana" on Steam, showing how it weighs 1.89 Gigabytes. The second half shows a couple of native americans talking on a snowy landscape while inspecting footprints on the snow.

Native A: A western game dev has been here. Native B: How can you tell? Native A: It weighs 1.89 Gigabytes.

The worst offender I've ever seen is Ark and that's a Chinese developer. It's over 400GB to install Ark.

My OS is lighter than that btw

.... BTW?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

He uses Arch Linux BTW.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

I keep seeing that. Is BTW a reference to a particular build of Arch, or a particular way of setting up your Arch distro?

By the way, I’m familiar with Linux in general. Just curious about this particular thing.

BTW stands for by the way.

So it's basically a meme of "I use arch, by the way."

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

No, no its just a well written joke. Like he can't talk that he uses arch linux.

OK wtf is with the posts about "western game dev", as if that has anything at all to do with disk space?

Maybe they are making fun of obesity?

[-] [email protected] 26 points 17 hours ago

Western countries (USA) often have rich economies, which means that the average person in said countries often has better access to high amounts of storage than people from impoverished countries. This makes it so it's not a priority for companies targeting that audience to optimize for disk space.

TLDR: Rich countries get beefy PCs, which get unoptimized games

1.9gb is a high amount of storage?

[-] [email protected] 46 points 16 hours ago

For a banana clicker, yes

[-] [email protected] 18 points 15 hours ago

That's bigger than the Fedora ISO

[-] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

Yes

[-] [email protected] 1 points 20 minutes ago

No, it really isn't... Not in 2024.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 15 minutes ago* (last edited 15 minutes ago)

It's a game where you click bananas.

There is no reason for it to be so large. It is a banana. That you click.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

I think the OP's explanation is the real one, but I still like to think this is a thing where more than one thing can be true

[-] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

We like our apps to match our waists xD

[-] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago

Without checking, is it a bitcoin miner?

[-] [email protected] 31 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

No, it's a steam item miner

EDIT: to explain, clicking the banana gives you random "Steam Inventory" items, that players can sell on the marketplace The entire thing is just money laundry

[-] [email protected] 1 points 18 minutes ago

I've never understood that weird market... Why the fuck is anyone buying that shit?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 17 hours ago

Somewhat relevant: a video explaining the interesting background behind a free banana game on Steam
