  • I’m not sure there are as Reddit already has subreddit for almost anything imaginable, but I can say that due to how Fediverse operates, I’m seeing more specialized communities that is probably represented just as a tag in a subreddit.

    For example my country has one subreddit, with some sister subreddit for photography, food, some big cities, etc, but all these sisters are really low in both content and subscribers. People would rather post to the main subreddit and add [PICS] tag rather than post in photography subreddit, for example. While in Lemmy someone made an entire instance for my country, so we could create more communities and they all are going to be displayed in Local.





  • I honestly feel a little disappointed that I scrolled this far and nobody mentioned Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (1999).

    This is an RTS game, which is a dying genre. It’s also a 24 year old game, which after its release two more Age of Empires games have been released as well, and the game itself has been remastered recently. Yet people continue to play the original game to this day, the multiplayer scene and competitions are still active.

    If that is not timeless I don’t know what is.



  • For me, the controls are probably the only outdated thing in StarCraft, which is why it was fixed in StarCraft II. Oh and probably the very 90s soundtracks and early CGI cutscenes.

    Other than that, I personally think StarCraft is one of the best games of all time. The plot, voice acting, character and unit designs are absolutely timeless. StarCraft is one of very few games that I can confidently say I’m suck at, yet still enjoy playing, with cheats if necessary.

    For those who want to try StarCraft but put off by the outdated gameplay, I suggest installing StarCraft II (now free) and also installing StarCraft Mass Recall which is the remake of original StarCraft and Brood War expansion in StarCraft II engine.
