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

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 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

Rock and Stone to the bone!
