it’s because they aren’t talking about users, it’s shareholders. shareholders don’t stand to gain near as much ad revenue from the endless algorithm induced scrolling. executives and shareholders hate chronological feeds, not people

mindustry is my fav

it’s a crazy good combo of resource management, tower defense, rts, and sandbox creativity

added bonus that it’s open source and even has multi-player

I was considering reddit gold, but with everything I felt the money was better placed in running my own kbin instance. bonus points that other people can use it too :3

found the min/maxer :3
but yeah, if you play the game proactively you can prevent a bunch of the hard choices
I found just playing the game at normal speed with no pause can definitely spice it up and made me feel like a desperate administrator just trying to make everything good enough

awesome post!
just wanted to add that kbin has full support for alt text, so anyone on kbin, please take the little bit of time to fill out the alt text for any images you post
it’s a small bit of work that can make all the difference for someone who needs it

I had a similar experience on my first playthrough
spoiler:
||when the stuff with the mines happened in a new home I was actually devastated for the volunteers||

also somehow the game managed to make me feel cold while I played lol

yeah lol it definitely takes a lot of energy to play
I haven’t played for ages but one of my friends has been playing on it for the first time on my pc and it’s awesome because I basically get to experience it again through him XD

it does a really good job at making the decisions have weight behind them, but it I found they could definitely get pretty depressing

I’m so tired of governments bending over backwards to help billionaires while ignoring average people

I’m so tired of valuing people based on their net worth. these double standards are disappointing and honestly disgusting. I’m disgusted by our current politics and economics

i use kbin because I don’t like lemmy’s devs 🙃
bonus points that it actually deletes things

I’m using porkbun for my instance and it’s been great
my domain renewal was half google domain’s offering price

I’m like the shy guy scp but for litter
if you litter:
I will come for you
I will find you
there is nowhere you can run
when I find you I will [DATA EXPUNGED] you and your family and [REDACTED]. I will feel nothing but joy as I carry out the process and you will never litter again you filthy liter bug

alien historians after finding this and not one of them knows what a grape is

@nuz
I need thisssss

literally me 4 days ago deciding to run a kbin instance in spite of there being literally no documentation

I have the feeling things are going to get bigger here on fedi196.gay very soon and its quite possible we’ll be taking the meme niche of the fediverse

Rock and Stone to the bone!
