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! 2 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.

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.

- Comment on Video Game Websites in the early 00s 2 weeks ago:
I won’t argue against it being nostalgia driven (it’s a powerful thing), but most of those sites definitely did not use flash.
- Comment on Video Game Websites in the early 00s 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen some neocities, sites they are pretty cool.
I just wish some of the larger websites (gaming or otherwise) would make something similar for their desktop website and make a simple (non-responsive) mobile version.
- Comment on Video Game Websites in the early 00s 2 weeks ago:
Is it just nostalgia or were the website designs from the 2000s more unique, playful and with character? Responsive design and mobile web are a necessity, but I feel like they annihilated all creativity in web design.

- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 3 weeks ago:
I am honestly surprised that so many people thought GTA2 was the best.
I understand that a significant portion of the Threadi demographic probably grew up on the first two games, but even wit that factor I wouldn’t have thought it was that popular.

I also really that it was a straight up sci-fi/cyberpunk setting. It alluded to such themes, but it wasn’t all that explicit.
- Comment on Social media, not gaming, tied to rising attention problems in teens, new study finds 3 weeks ago:
This is not surprising, video gaming has been around since the 70s, the first gamers are hitting 70+.
I don’t use tiktok, but I was hanging out with brother and his gf and they showed me how they watch reels/tiktok. It was funny, I won’t lie, but man the format is slop.
