Ah neat. Thanks!

I’ll have a look at the retrospectives community, but I’m not the biggest fan of fracturing already small communties. Maybe I’ll do some crossposts if I can find out how that works.

I meant games that don’t randomize or change on repeat runs. Games that always offer a somewhat similar, scripted experience.

Overall, static games with carefully crafted experiences are better than any roguelike.

The production value for this one is great! Arguments are supported by great voiced segments and appropriate music! B- Mask never disappoints.

Ok, but how did this one get to 36 upvotes? the previous highest was 8 or something!

Sittingonclouds is a good one! It has loads! There’s also squid-board, which has even more, but registrations aren’t always open.

It’s a reference to Moby Dick. It’s something you really want, but seems unattainable.

I’m facing similar problems. What helped me settle here, though, were the right tools. The most helpful being:

The Lemmy Explorer, which helps you find forums across all Lemmy instances: https://lemmyverse.net/

Lemmy Link, which make it easier to show forums on the lemmy instance you are using: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-link/

And, as a bit of a wild card, I made an RSS feed. If you don’t know what it is, it basically let’s you subscribe to websites so that any articles or threads show up in one big personal newspaper. That way, I can get both the few Lemmy topics that are here and supplant the rest with “loose” websites like blogs or news sites.

Lemmy is fully compatible with RSS as are many other sites. If a site isn’t, it’s fairly easy to make it compatible with a generator. After that, it’s just a matter of gathering the links you want.

I’d recommend checking out Feedly and just tinkering to see if it’s something you’d enjoy. It’s not a full replacement, but it does allow you to make things more personal.
