I’m on 3 active forums and 2 lemmies and 2 mastos and I just leave myself logged in. It’s nothing like that. Somehow that’s still a better user experience than discord

As a forum user I agree, but would like to add that many forums do have a kind of “demerit point” system for incivility. Where racking up enough points gets you temporarily muted or banned.
My instance requires that users say a little about why they want to join. Works just fine.
If someone isn’t willing to introduce themselves, why would they even want to register? If they just want to lurk, they can do so anonymously.
EDIT I just noticed we’re from the same instance lol, so you definitely know what I’m talking about 😆
I think you’d work your way in naturally, same as any community throughout all of history.
I suppose an outsider might not be able to tell a web of trust that’s only bots trusting eachother, so you still have to think critically about what you read
This folk doesn’t even grample lmao but seriously amp me on stunkyr
I’m just shocked that there are marketing departments that actually know what they’re doing. Granted I haven’t worked for any huge companies, so that’s probably why I have difficulty picturing it.
I know I shouldn’t have even started, but I did, quitting smoking and drinking. It was really, really hard.
I just don’t have time to invest in learning a new operating system.
That’s fair. I got turned on to Linux in college so this is how I feel when confronted with Windows or Mac devices. I just get so frustrated every time I try, and it doesn’t seem like the end result is worth it if I can just stick with what works and not have to worry about some random update radically and inexorably altering how my computer works.
I even got an email out of nowhere right in my inbox from Dell the same day I was talking about Dell laptops with my book club. I would be so shocked if these examples are mere coincidence
Having worked on the tech side of email marketing campaigns I would actually be impressed
Howling Dogs: https://xrafstar.monster/games/twine/howlingdogs/
It’s a little Twine game that you can enjoy just in your browser (see link above), but it’s great.
Just saw you got it already - enjoy Disco Elysium!
Some of the best, most enjoyable, games writing I have ever seen. Every character is a treat.
Like toothpaste?
The dentist’s house handed out toothbrushes. Which actually was really thoughtful and appreciated by the poorer parents
I remember rediscovering Hallowe’en as an adult. Totally different vibe except definitely still hedonistic af
Man those parents don’t know shit - you were a Hallowe’en hero
Man those are some of my favs. I’ve always loved them.
Yeah it’s actually an incredible time to be an enjoyer of games if you ignore that AAA+ space. If you look at the “III” space (or mid sized dev studios putting out mid level games) it’s kind of where many of the “big” game dev shops were at in the 90-00s.
So if you miss the popular games of this era, then you should be looking at studios that operate at a similar size/ethos. Indies, in other words.
That’s where those games are now. The good games.
