minus-squareWarmSoda@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up15·1 year agoI can’t stand when games do it. Just put the files in a designated folder where the game is installed dammit!

minus-squareelint@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoC:\Program Files\ unless your program is 20+ years old and you still haven’t written a version for modern-day systems. 32-bit is dead.

minus-squareNotAnonymousAtAll@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoPlease don’t mix executables and data created by applications, even if the application happens to be a game. Those are supposed to be separate. That being said, “Documents” is obviously the wrong place for save game files.
minus-squareArnaught@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoHey, some games don’t even bother with the documents folder! They just dump their saves right in your home folder!
Documents folder: obviously where video game files should go…
Documents/games
Or
Documents/My Games
Or
Document/[Game Name]
Or
Gamefolder/Documents/
Why can’t they do that?
Some of them, anyways!
