Tried out the demo in late 2024. I really like the concept. It didn’t feel like all those "[retail store type] simulator] UE5 asset flips that are all over Steam. It has it’s own visual style and IMO has more refined core gameplay mechanics. Sure, some of the gamplay is similar (and can be very addicting), but you can see that thought was put into the gameplay mechanics.

If the 1st person store simulator concept seems intriguing, but you are looking for something beyond a quick UE5 asset flip, I would recommend to check this out.

I am surprised that it was released for free. I briefly interacted with the dev in late 2024 and I was under the impression that there would be a commercial release in 1H 2025.

Sure, but centre-right (real conservatives, not far right and oligarch shills) should have a voice on Lemmy.

I would assume a publication like “Nintendo Life” will promote Nintendo irrespective of what the issue is.

And to my limited understanding, the people who buy/use Nintendo are either children (you are not going to tell them they have shit taste) or hardcore fanboys who on some level will defend any action by Nintendo no matter what.

Somehow I missed all of their advocacy for genocide.

Masks off I see.

I am done here.

I don’t how you read that from what I wrote, I just think it’s silly to complain that they are allowed here.

Would you say the same about neo-nazis? Let’s a KKK instance on join-lemmy? You think that’s fine?

so when you dismiss them as pro-genocide scum it gives me the impression that you’ve never engaged seriously with the ideas.

Don’t play dumb. I’ve been on Lemmy long enough to know their position.

There were many examples, but aoe particularly stupid discussion was with a tankie trying to explain to me (a Ukrainian) that Ukrainian language in actually not prosecuted in the occupied territories. His reasoning was that in Chechnya locals can use Chechen in addition to russian.

Tankie scum wish harm to me, my family and fellow citizens (while not knowing Ukrainian or russians and never having lived here). Of course I am going to wish them a grizzly death.

Staying on the one significant social network built out of those beliefs seems counterintuitive here.

Tankies are minority. It’s not counter intuitive to want a relatively small group of tankie degenerates to be isolated in federated forum system.

My man, that’s exactly what a decentralized, federated network is (you should know this).

As supporter of genocide you should consider joining another network, as you are not welcome here!

If you want a forum where only tankies are allowed, then don’t develop your solution on a federated protocol. It’s as simple as that.

Tankie scum culture is largely not tolerated across Lemmy. No sane person wants to hear degenerate rambling about how Stalin was a good guy, denial of russian atrocities committed in Ukraine, denial of giant number of Ukrainians held horrible conditions in internment and praise for Putin (who is not even a communist).

Don’t try to hide behind “existing culture” with your “discrimination against tankies” rehortic.

When you act like scum (some of the worst), be prepared to be called scum.

They support russian genocidal imperialism, deny genocidal actions of the CCP.

Come up with childish excuses such as “the CIA made this up [in references to atrocities]” or “the people of this country don’t actually want to be free and the CIA organized a coup” and degenerate bullshit.

They are scum.

That’s not how federation or open source works.

And the overwhelming majority of Lemmy’s active users are not tankies and have no interest in tankie degeneracy.

I am not upset. I am just stating facts, tankies and leftists are not the same thing.

Let’s be real here, the vast majority of people do not want to deal with pro-genocide, pro authoritarian tankies (e.g. would you want to deal with neo-nazis?) and teenage edgelords roleplaying as communists.

Fascinating business model.

rental sales of CDs

CDs? What would you rent CDs for? The only thing I can think of is music and win 9x games.

As I said, be honest.

There is a difference between leftists and genocide white-washing, pro-authoritarianism tankies.

You think it’s a good thing that new people looking to join Lemmy are directed towards Hexbear (or Lemmygrad or even ML)?

Be honest.

I believe it’s a Star Trek instance and a smaller instance that’s called lemmy.one or something like that.

Good to see another instance defederate from ML. Now if only more of the non-tankie communities moved off ML (it’s slowly happening).

What’s are you on about? There is no centralised censorship. Every instance can make their own decision around whether they want to federate with ML.

Cheers!

Thank you!

Now I got to choose between two good variants!

You’re making my life difficult!😆

Thank you so much!

Final version is now on [email protected]

EDIT: My sincere apologies, but I think second variant (lower in the thread) is a better fit.

I would remove collapse. IMO it’s not something that is relevant to the social media experience. People who are looking for a collapse style community can find it on their own.

I think regional works fine as is. What I am referring to is probably outside of the scope of the discussion.
