I mean, generally speaking, sending pikemen against a people famous for riding horses sounds smart to me lol

Yeah, I’m all for privacy, but I actually get interesting things recommended by YouTube. If I turn this off won’t I just get random YouTube videos? No thanks. I also do use my watch history for “I watched it the other day, what was that video called again?”

I love Next Fest, I usually end up wishlisting like 3-10 games. Lots of good stuff that I’d never know or care about otherwise.

Simply amazing, thank you!

The dialogue in Oxenfree is crazy, never seen anything else like that.

Long, thought out posts with replies that consist solely of something like “you’re*”

Slipways. Very well made space puzzle game. This game really surprised me.

Also, hidden gems thread… feels just like home :)

I remember seeing this a long time ago, if I’m not going crazy. Weren’t there many more layers to it? “…drawing myself drawing myself drawing myself…”

RIP RIF. I’m another one who used it 99% of the time. I’m glad I found kbin and I’m mostly over reddit, but I’m not over RIF. Thank you for all those years. Fuck you u/spez for destroying the site I’ve been a part of for almost 10 years… in a single week.

There’s nothing else like it, even in its current early access state. Can’t wait to see where they go with it.

I say let’s not even give them a chance. We owe them nothing.

Maybe it’s silly, but i love that I haven’t seen a single one-word reply such as “*their”.

EDIT: omg, what about those infinite threads of “this” or forced puns? Haven’t seen those either (and I love bad puns, but those usually contributed very little)

I just realized that it’s hard to imagine someone saying you should speak English because lemmy/kbin is an amaerican website. I’m sure we’ve all seen that more than once on reddit.

Yep! Kinda surreal to see that something like this is even possible since it seems like a contradiction.

Yeah, that’s why I struggle to enjoy games like Civilization. I feel like one bad move on turn 5 may mean defeat, but I’ll only find out on move 100.

I’ll check it out!

EDIT: Looks really interesting, actually!

I’ve played the demo before, really enjoyed it!

Oh, thanks for bringing this to my attention! My problem with city building games is usually just that, too stressful. I don’t mind being attacked every once in a while, for example, but if being slightly unprepared to deal with an attack means total failure, then I tend to go play something else…

Exactly. On reddit I’d probably type out this comment, see that the post is X hours old or see that there are already 5000 replies and think “meh, no one will see this anyway. Best case scenario I get an upvote or two”. But here I feel like I’m part of a conversation and actually contributing something.

I wonder if anyone at reddit is starting to think “wait… maybe the community IS important?” Nah, probably not.
