Be the change you want to see.

You thought they were the leaders. They’re the followers, staying near the crowd.

Building communities is hard and takes time.

Signal for personal. Discord for gaming. Element/Matrix as much as I can.

Checkmate!

Yeah, I was thinking collaborators.

You have a point. I’m wondering if we’ve been in echo chambers too long, and federation gives the opportunity to challenge nonsense, and take the edge off fringe opinions.

I thought I’d get a bit of a wishy washy or non-answer. Conservatives have unwavering support for Israeli treatment of Palestinians, but have a hard on for China, so can only focus on trying to shut down 1 form of discrimination.

You don’t want to shut down support for atrocities, you want to shut down support of one atrocity, while others are fine.

That’s a really good idea.

Out of curiosity… What do you make of Israel and their military operations in Palestinian territories?

Tankies suck, and Conservatives suck imho. They may share shitty views, which is complete nonsense, but I’m finding it a wee bit weird that a Conservative, who I’d assume is all for freedom of speech is trying to shut down speech. I’ve been here for days now, and I’ve not seen anything from Lemmygrad. I know it’s there, and I don’t want to dip my toe in and it’s not being thrown down my throat. It’s pretty obvious what it is from the name. If I want some weird alt right nonsense, I’d check out truth social or telegram. You know what you’re getting.

“Let’s get away from the reddit top down control, and implement top down control here”. Hmmm…

I think there is a FOSS projects based on Settlers 2 called Widelands. If you like that, it might be worth checking out.

Not at all. Shooting things with guns repeatedly is somewhat boring to me.

Yes, and since then there has not been one FPS that has interested me, so why would I know the intricate details of them?

Ha, touche. Loved Ocarina of Time. Oh gosh. I’m old.

How am I supposed to know that if I don’t follow the genre? Someone said 2013, I trusted that information.

“I don’t follow FPS” “As if you didn’t know this FPS trivia”

People who like to shoot polygons repeatedly are a little tetchy.

Done with you. You’re clearly a prick and ironically a troll.

Being nice doesn’t cost you anything, child.

A troll is someone that disagrees with you? You’ve been in echo chambers too long, buddy.

For people that don’t like FPS won’t see differences, those that love it, they all seem different… Can you not accept that people won’t like your favourite games? Not very tolerant, no?!

I didn’t attack you, I attacked the gaming industry and the the view that everyone should know FPS. You’re a little defensive.

Swearing and insulting me. If only you could look in the mirror. You’re the rudest person I’ve come across here yet. Congratulations.

We’re 2024 already?

The point was more about AAA only seem to be pushing FPS nowadays.

Absolutely not. You call me a troll and then call me rude? Getting bashed for not knowing a FPS game then getting bashed for it is really something. Check my first post, it was positive despite not knowing the reference.

If you don’t expect there to be frustration when franchises like Bullfrog got swallowed and killed and folk don’t want to play the only types of genres being pushed?

Are we not free to like what we like?

Can we not have a different opinion…

Oh gosh, is this reddit again?

No. You do realise there is lots of gaming genres? I understand it isn’t obvious if you have been gaming 10 years and only play AAA.

RTS, survival or factory games are very different. I get that AAA went nuts on FPS and it made money, but it doesn’t mean it is all of gaming. Fortunately indie games companies are killing it right now.
