Given that the main issue is they’re the host for !europe, an alternative comm has been set up at !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com

The mods don’t seem to think it’s a major issue, I haven’t heard any of them actually admit this is a problematic situation to have. Some folks have set up a new community at !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Gonna mention that !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.org has been set up as an alternative for Europe-centric discussions
- Comment on Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments. 7 hours ago:
Mostly that they host the main Europe-centric comm, !Europe@feddit.org. You can see the problem when criticism of Europe’s most powerful country is censored in said comm, and users banned, for relatively innocuous comments.

Sounds like the kind of player who complains about missing game features, then it turns out they skipped the tutorial.

No, because aphantasia. I love the turns of phrase, though.

At least with hand weaving, people got paid for their work.
You realise your statement could have been made about literally any labour saving invention in human history?

It’s perfectly possible for a TCG to be a deckbuilder, I’m sure. Especially video games that get to do all sorts of stuff to break the rules. My comment was directed at classical TCGs like MtG.
Stacklands looks pretty increasing, might give it a whirl

That’s reasonably close to what I was thinking, yes.
- Comment on Devolver Digital Announces Shroom And Gloom, A First-Person 'Double-Deckbuilder' Roguelike With A Demo Out Now 2 days ago:
TCGs are not deckbuilders, at least not as they’re commonly understood today. See the other comment thread for the discussion.
More traditional boardgames like dominion aren’t rougelites
I was referring to video game deckbuilders. I couldn’t think of any, but I’ve had a few pointed out to me.
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 2 days ago:
My point was, fuck Netflix for their shitty business practices anyway. Ads are bad, AI ads aren’t any better or worse.
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 2 days ago:
Ads are ads, who cares if it’s AI generated?

For a peek into the history of the term - boardgamegeek.com/…/magic-the-gathering-and-domin…
Apparently the shift was more than well under way by 2011.

Inscryption just defies categorisation, it’s a unique everything. But yeah, I wasn’t aware of the other non-roguelite deckbuilders. Wonder how they get balanced? What’s stopping the player from building a monstrously strong deck?
- Comment on Devolver Digital Announces Shroom And Gloom, A First-Person 'Double-Deckbuilder' Roguelike With A Demo Out Now 2 days ago:
I’m not sure when or about the original meaning, but in the modern context deckbuilder usually refers to games that let you build or modify your deck during gameplay itself. Dominion invented, or at least massively popularised, the genre in 2008. By the current definition of the genre, there is significant inherent overlap with roguelites. In the boardgame world, games like Frosthaven would be an example of a deckbuilder that’s not a roguelite, though the deckbuilder element there is pretty thin. Slay the Spire was probably the first, or at least first successful, computer game deckbuilder that I’m aware of.

CCGs like MtG are very different from the current meaning of deckbuilders. I’m not sure which castle / turret defense games you’re referring to.
- Comment on Devolver Digital Announces Shroom And Gloom, A First-Person 'Double-Deckbuilder' Roguelike With A Demo Out Now 2 days ago:
Are there any other types of deckbuilder? I can’t think of any

It’s a fake quote, so you’re reading a little too much into it.

Your premise is that nuclear warfare is no longer possible, so by default, yes.

The US and / or Russia would obtain it ASAP, by hook or crook. Followed rapidly by World War 3
- Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game 4 days ago:
Review bombing requires
- A scandal, and there’s no indication Half Moon was involved in any such.
- Coordination, which is easy enough to find on Google or elsewhere. Again, no indication of such.
- Most of the time, at least some reviews in the bomb will state why they are downvoting the game. No indication of such.
Sometimes bad reviews are just bad reviews.

In which context? They’re probably MFers too. If you mean artificial or biological… Could be either, but let’s go with 3rd party replacements.

You’re assuming most of the commentors here are familiar with the legal technicalities instead of just spouting whatever uninformed opinion they have.
