I feel if I spontaneously quit all my niche gaming communities and posted everything I’d post there on a general community instead, I’d annoy everyone with a bunch of Steam links for games they probably do not care about. People in the niche communities are more likely to care about a link to a game in a genre they already like. Also, for most of the small communities I’ve got at least one other poster sometimes, and that’s better than nobody! Despite all the trouble with incremental.social and federation, when I can get on there we do have a few regulars chatting there and that’s nice.
There’s also just fans of a certain genre being used to backlash from the wider gaming community. I did get mostly upvotes when I posted [email protected], which is mostly romance visual novels for women who like men, to [email protected]. I appreciate it. But I am not sure how posting these games to [email protected] would go over, especially when I suspect Lemmy to be male-dominated. Visual novels already suffer from the “it’s all just hentai” stereotype. Now add the “media for women, especially romance media, is stupid and vapid and silly” prejudice. And even for those who just live and let live, I suspect most of the general [email protected] community would be disinterested in otome game posts, which is fair because I’m disinterested in romance and/or sex visual novels aimed at men who want to date women (although they should definitely be allowed to exist and people should be allowed to like them in peace). So both to avoid any backlash, and to avoid annoying the wider community, I don’t want to post those games to this general community. I still want a space for it on Lemmy though, so I made that community. I have one other regular poster and sometimes people drop in and comment.
You could make the argument that I’m simply posting low-quality content, and I’d just have to raise the bar for [email protected] to accept my posts, and that I just want my niches back, to which I say: fair. But unfortunately I’m no video game expert or connoisseur. I play and enjoy. The lovely guide and wiki makers usually get there before I can. I’m not too good at coming up with fun discussion questions that are better than what I’d consider low-tier engagement bait back on Reddit like “name one good thing about [noncontroversial character]”. So link posts it is, better some on-topic content than none at all. And even if I did write a wonderful in-depth review or guide, if it’s not for some big mainstream appeal game but something that only genre enthusiasts really like, not sure how well [email protected] would take to it. So that’s my rationale for having these niche communities. You’re still very free to think I’m wrong ;) Thanks for contributing in earnest to [email protected]!
On one hand I understand this, but on the other hand I’d like to post games I find that fit these subgenres or talk about that subgenre without making myself the biggest spammer in [email protected], and I think (time will tell!) I do have the stubbornness necessary to scream into the void until people come along. Maybe I should crosspost the ones I think are most likely to have mass appeal…
You’re probably right, but most of these do exist already, so I figure not why not continue trying to use them (and to direct attention from this big community there)? Also probably doesn’t help a lot of instances have general games communities. We’re pretty splintered. Now that I think about it I should probably crosspost to some of the bigger ones.
So pleased to have seen this on my feed. Loved doing mazes as a kid.
(Also you might want to look at [email protected])
I’m always surprised these posts go to general gaming communities but nobody thinks to post to [email protected]
Sometimes I crosspost myself and sometimes I make some comment like this hoping OP will do it because it feels somehow like I’m “stealing credit” even though it’s just a link post and not some original textpost. This time I took a third option and just straight up asked how they felt about the new subclasses
While we’re here, [email protected] definitely could use some love (and by love I mean posters).
Hey, thanks for your effort again!!
Looked into Metro, completely disinterested, but . I always figure if my tastes do a 180 or a friend wants to play some games (it is pretty likely our tastes will not be identical) it never hurts to have.
I guess we’re total opposites, I usually avoid physicals because I know myself. I want to keep things nice and pretty and pristine, I’ll never subscribe to “the flaw/crease/spillage adds to its charm!”, and I know I am too clumsy to actually keep it as nice as I’d like. Less objects to clean, to lose, to cry over when they inevitably get messed up.
At least from what I am aware of Mitchell cheated. I never heard of the suicide thing. If the lawsuit was really just over suicide and not over the cheating claims, I wonder why his records got reinstated after this. But hey, I’m quite out of the loop and my comment would probably be a good example in court of reputational damage, as a random who does not really follow these records but might click a video on them someday or read something and come away thinking something about a person.
Have been playing Antimatter Dimensions, an [email protected], and various Steam demos to see if I’ll like the game or not.
Eh, to each their own, to me it wasn’t funny at all. Not in a this is offensive way, I can appreciate dark humor, but the impression I personally came away with was “annoying snarky comment” and less “incisive, witty, funny and topical joke”. Of course, my impression is probably extremely colored by my feeling it was just barely on-topic and a conversation hijack away from American Truck Simulator to American Politics, but I also have seen American politics comments that I found funny and this wasn’t one of them. Glad you enjoyed at least, as well as the other people who upvoted, nice to see people getting value out of it where I couldn’t.
If you like this genre come visit us at [email protected]!
Watch Lemmy turn one of the few apolitical posts about something American into something political in 3… 2… 1…
Politics is important but sometimes I just want to play a video game without someone turning the conversation to politics when that wasn’t the topic at hand at all. I’m super angry about all the things my country is doing now too, but I also sometimes want to enjoy what I have left instead of being constantly stressed about it and bringing up the horrors happening at every opportunity—especially with just a comment about if a truck driving sim that seems to be mostly just about driving will suddenly implement something political and unpleasant (when we know they probably will not, that’s not the vibe they are going for) and no links to taking action. (Here are a few, albeit aimed at Americans.
On the other hand, people have to vent sometimes and I guess I need to build up tolerance and a thicker skin to that, even when it shows up in a place marked Games and not US Politics.
Will always cheer for more native Linux support.
For curious onlookers like myself out of the loop, this is Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. Best wishes OP
Rift Wizard!
Part of me is so pulled by games with customizable characters and good magic systems, but roguelike… oof. But it calls to my childhood self. Maybe I’ll watch a playthrough to try to see if it’s for me.
Props to your friend for making and finishing a game at all, let alone the reviews said one lots of people enjoy!
Nice to see devs on the Fediverse. Best wishes!
I have not played this game but someone at [email protected] might be able to help you.
