  • I agree with you that the onboarding process is complicated for a user that doesn’t want to invest time into learning how the fediverse works.

    I think that is a positive thing.

    The good thing about the Fediverse is that it isn’t profit driven, it isn’t necessary to grow without end, and because of this it also isn’t necessary to appeal to the mass of users who don’t want to learn how things work here. It’s a filter, weeding out the people who aren’t open to new structures - that often comes paired with the inability to have open minded discussions.

    I do agree with you regarding the missing transfer options, but since karma isn’t a thing here, a simple import/export function for subscribed communities and blocked items should suffice, and shouldn’t be too hard to implement.









  • i’ll just add a few i haven’t seen yet:

    • Chained Together - running gauntlets while … chained together
    • Children of Morta - adorable graphics meet solid gameplay and vivid storytelling
    • Core Keeper - top-down Terraria with great pixel art, full release in a week!
    • Cosmoteer: Build your 2d-Spaceship and do what you want! Full workshop support with tons of available mods.
    • (hmm so much stuff starting with c, gotta change my game)
    • Element TD 2 - classic tower defense experience
    • Heavenly Bodies - Adventure game with physics!
    • Kingdom: Two Crowns - the right thing for chilling :-)
    • Necesse: even more Terraria, but with a huge world and settlements to build and manage. Still in EA, and needs polish, but great game even now!
    • Neon Chrome: Cyberpunk twin-stick shooter
    • Operation Tango: Asymmetric Coop, one is a hacker, the other is the agent on the ground
    • Streets of Rogue: “immersive sim”-top down twin stick action roguelite - i cant even describe it well, but it is heaps of fun and chaos can pop up around every corner!
    • Synthetic: twin-stick shooter with tons of guns and a hefty difficulty later on
    • Grim Dawn: ARPG, and one of the best in its class. Dated, but still updated (and gets a new expansion soon-ish!). community is running seasons which add new areas, items and whatnot! i’ve sunk 1500 hours into that one, so i am probably biased when i say give it a whirl.


  • I’ve been a gamer and intensive pc user most of my 45 years of my life, and my experience in the last years regarding input devices:

    • razer sucked 20 years ago and sucks still
    • never buy no-name input devices for more than minimal investment, even if the featureset sounds nice
    • logitech (my brand of choice for a long time) is only held afloat by their brand name, not by their hardware quality anymore (the last good mouse i had was the mx-5, the last keyboard the G11)
    • but there are exceptions: my roccat keyboard works like a charm, and my current roccat mouse is robust and comfortable (but no RGB compatibility with anything else -.-)
