Yeah, of course, not all responses are bad. Some are informative and add more context, but a lot are just trolls.

Some games are supposed to be hard and that’s the only place that kind of comment would be justified.

If a game is so slow to start that it can’t show you what it is about in 2 hours, then it is just a poorly designed game, or intentionally designed to tip you over the refund window.

Used to be the case you’d get discussion, now it’s very much just trolls or diehard fans of the game that trawl through the reviews refuting any criticism. Honestly, I noticed a shift in general, standards for games has definitely lowered. I think a lot of the new generation literally don’t know what they missed and their baseline is live service shite.

Indie games are the way to go, I don’t play any big games anymore, because they are always dogshit disappointments. The way I see it, generally the more it’s marketed, the worse it’s going to be.

People are not researching privacy conscious apps and typing it in. Drip isn’t even remotely close to being among the top results for a period tracker. That’s the point, the average person prefers convenience over privacy these days.

Because its effort. We have to get the average person to care about their security and privacy before they will bother using these alternatives. It’s much easier for them to download a popular one off an app store and have the data stick with them, than it is to download f-droid, find the right app, make sure its still supported and setup their own data backup.

Yeah it definitely needed some way to make it less random the further you got (more than it already did). The rng ended up just being a time waste.

I miss websites with simple text, links and graphics. We could navigate them perfectly fine without any JS, any dropdowns or whatever. They just displayed the information you came for, nothing extra.

Made people click though didnt it.

They went through a few ideas until settling on Jump Ship iirc. Jump Crew was one I remember.

Glad to see its gained popularity now, it has a lot of potential!

Ah, Hyperspace, it’s come a long way since it was called that. It’s a fun game, works flawlessly on Linux too with Proton.

Mbin is a fork and continuation of /kbin, but community-focused.

Kbin was destined to fail without opening up to community collaboration. I greatly preferred it over lemmy. So I will stick with Mbin now and Kbin.earth has been a small but nice Mbin instance.

Kbin.earth is on mbin, I think kbin is dead.

+1 for Endeavour if you basically want easy to install Arch with the very minimal preinstalled.

There’s CachyOS too if you want a few more tweaks OOTB.

Arch has definitely been my fav so far, the wiki is unmatched. I stuck with EOS.

If they add AI they better not ask me for any money ever again.

It’s not going anywhere until people stop playing the games.
