Nah this is exactly how Americans see it.

The middle class is scared shitless while in reality redistributing the wealth of the top 0.01pct probably would resolve 90pct of the inequality.

When they get in the car after shopping and they have candy, they pay daddy tax before the car moves.

Nurgle does despair right?

And the whole setting allows for awesome sci fi, with spin offs if successful. I’m not holding my breath but it would be awesome if the series opens the door for broad application of the franchise.

Decades of universe building and flexible enough to allow new stuff. But Tyranids, orcs, chaos, eldar, necron, Hive cities, battlefleet, titans… please don’t let them fuck this up.

This could be absolute nonsense… but it sounds legit… so I’ll believe you internet stranger. Have my up vote.

Sorry… I was more asking in general. I watched the trailer… some cool looking stuff in there.

How is the quality of life now? When we played we had stuck palls the entire time in our base. And base building more interesting now?

Enshrouded, under a rock… I have some hopes for some good new stuff… but nothing from the VC game studios.

Tiny glade looks lovely

They also did it on a single income back then.

It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark… and we’re wearing sunglasses.

Or rooms of old people all sucked into their screen not talking to eachother

Mobile games are (mostly) pretty linear micro transaction hellscapes. But that is my opinion.

And I fully agree they (mobile games) have their market, which is fine for the people that play them. People can sit on the couch or on their commute and play some levels and spend the time.

The PC and console games are much more complex to create and draw in a completely different player base. It is more of a destination sort of speak.

Tossing these 2 on one pile means it is less clear how each of the markets are developing.

Yeah the conflation of mobile gaming with PC and console gaming is just bad. I don’t know how the cut should be made tbh but this seems silly.

On the other side, more and more midlife+ in online games like Helldivers, cod and such.

Just use a sharpie

Jeez, I wish I could downvote you twice.

Conflating Pokemon and genocide really reduces the value of genocide. That it might be a tongue in cheek accusation towards our livestock and animal treatments … but genocide.

Like calling everyone Hitler and a nazi. Or groomer or…

These triple a stile developments are managed into the ground.

Yeah… pretty accurate for me too.

I think I responded to the tone and then you see premise that insinuated that colonial oppressors are just using their advantage to once again oppress the poor indigenous people of wherever in yet another way. Which I don’t agree with.

The concept of the fediverse seems to be that admins host instances and are pretty welcoming to new communities… So if someone from I dunno Togo would setup a lomé or togo-politics community it would be supported. Meaning anyone from anywhere can use the infra provided to setup and moderate their communities.

If anything the system allows people more advantaged with resources (time, money, know how) to provide an open space that can be used by everyone (within reason). Without being beholden to big tech and her hidden profit driven agenda.

I would be more concerned about accessibility and usability from the perspective of a lot of people. As many countries that are still developing have limited time and access. And I don’t know if the current state of the fediverse in it’s development is of much help.

I’llIncreasing the usability of the whole ecosystem with improved clients, moderation tools etc (the stuff that fediverse users are requesting, and those devs are working on) will help.

Once it is mature, more will come. And like with tech, financed by early adopters this seems similar.

In the mean time I see people from all over the globe post stuff about many things, including national interest stuff that would otherwise have passed me by.

And I don’t see stuff posted in languages I don’t comprehend because my profile filteres them out. I don’t know if there are any Swahili/Papiamento/Mandarin/Indonesian posts on lemmy, but Lemmy supports many languages so that might be a thing.

Lastly the whole us vs them (colonial powers, oppressors etc etc) might be applicable to a lot of the world, however, garnering support for a cause by making accusations against the fediverse and the current generation of hosts and users does not help. I would advise a more constructive stance in general. If you see people actually being as you describe call them out and tell it like it is by all means, but this was not the way to get the ball rolling.

I’d probably gone with something like: the fediverse is growing, how can we help it develop in a direction better serving people in developing countries. To get them out from under the power hold and monopolies of the big tech conglomerates. … or something.

In that case I would have stuck with an answer like above… we need to foster and nurture it’s growth so it becomes a good alternative and the people will come. Plus… you know… ask people from these countries or maybe even get devs from there involved using stuff like patreon. Getting feedback from people not using your product… and finding out why they don’t is hard.

But Lemmy for example already did a solid by making sure the platform supports a looooot or languages “out of the box”.

Hope that’s better :).

For the record, I did not downvotes your reply as it deserves an actual response.

Yeah… those leeches from underdeveloped countries should be hosting fediverse servers with all that expendable income they have.

What a shit take.

That looks pretty slick. Now let’s hope the gameplay is fun and they manage to foster a proper community.
