- Comment on Why medieval city-builder video games are historically inaccurate - Leiden Medievalists Blog 2 days ago:
I’ve play Ostriv a lot.
The current build is very playable. There are many 1.0 release games that are in a far worse state (even with post release patches).
I would just try it out if I were you. The game is a lot of fun as it is.

I am a big fan of Timberborn, but if we go all pedantic about it, Timberborn’s flood mechanics aren’t all that realistic.
A game that came somewhat close to realistic flood mechanics was Pharaoh/Cleopatra (1999/2000). Even though it used an abstract/statistical model (due to the technical limitations of the time), it felt a lot closer to reality than Timberborn even if there were some gamey elements like how well you respected Osiris.

I didn’t know that this was de facto a client side feature (Lemmy WebUI, Piefed WebUI and my mobile client, Voyager, all support it).
That said, I strongly prefer Piefed style link re-direction; albeit it’s a client side feature just like the relative markdown syntax.

I don’t think having functional, active, somewhat niche communities is the antithesis of the Fediverse’s purpose.
If we had 1M MAU, that would be different.
It’s a common complaint for many people looking to switch off reddit that niche communities are lacking and having multiple low engagement communities without any clear differentiation is confusing.
Multiple comms is a good thing, but you also need to make it easy for uses to quickly understand what the difference between two communities is.
- Comment on r/Silksong joins lemmy! 3 days ago:
For sure.
Just pointing out genres with existing, somewhat active communities. There are many genres with a prominent presence of indie games and AA games (platformers, action games, MMOs) that are not really covered outside of general comms like this one.
It might be best to focus on those areas.
The local parlance for subs is comm/comms, from the word community.
- Comment on r/Silksong joins lemmy! 3 days ago:
A good existing indie game community:
!bside@fedia.io
Some genre/theme specific communities that focus mostly on indie games:
- !tycoon@lemmy.world
- !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works
- !strategy_games@piefed.world
- !horror_games@piefed.world
- !space_games@piefed.world
Considering how small the Threadiverse is, it’s best to not duplicate comms.
Feel free to reach out in DMs if anything.

Valve removed lootboxes from their games? When did this happen?
I stand by what I say, we need consistent enforcement and not picking favourites.

With full loot? I would have thought that full loot wouldn’t be popular among the Fortnite demographic.

Best option for non-US countries is to ban scrip currencies and illegal gambling.
If the US oligarch doesn’t immediately comply and starts parroting American-style “legal roleplay” polemics, put them on a wanted list and storm their yacht when it is international waters.
No sacred cows on this, should apply to Epic, Valve or whoever.
