a couple of our regulars have expressed interest in having an anti-cryptocurrency sub here. so interest check: reply to this thread if you want us to have buttcoin

edit: also, meme stock bullshit is on topic for our buttcoin (unless the threads get overwhelming, then we’ll split off another sub)

    And CDDA is fun if you like those kinds of simulationist roguelikes, at least it was the last time I played it has been a while. If you play it and get killed by a shoggoth you have been murdered by a monster I added.

    oh fuck yes. since this is a roguelike I’m assuming I’ll need a keyboard? cause otherwise I’d already be installing it on my steam deck

    a good example on why you should not allow people to be edgy and racist just as jokes (that is how he got a foothold in the cdda discord, one of the mods who made him a mod (or so I understood the situation) was one of those edgelords and so is he)

    fucking exactly. a couple of the open source retrogaming hardware communities I’ve joined recently (because they habitually don’t update their fucking docs, most likely so you have to beg answers out of the assholes on their toxic discord) have that exact problem. I’ve seen so many communities get destroyed or made utterly inhospitable by “you can’t restrict my free speech to say these things, can’t you take a joke” bullshit. I might have a MoreWrite draft in me analyzing some of these communities since I’ve been interacting altogether far too much with them, but I need to come up with a conclusion that isn’t just “don’t these fuckers suck and isn’t it a shame that they’re gatekeeping a fun hobby?”

      I ahve not kept up with nonkeyboard ways of playing, but I know people play it on their phones. I also have not kept up with development lately (sadly you can look at my updates history on the wiki for the last time I really played, at that time I also got mentally overwhelmed by all the changes I wanted to make to the wiki and things I had to check and the relentless advance of development that I basically stopped working on it (I wonder if I could have started a patreon to ask people to pay me to update it but otoh I was not sure if I would get anything for that, then it would feel like work and it also seemed like a really weird thing to do, even if it would have fixed some of my financial issues (and I also didn’t think people used it that much)) so that period is the last period I have solidly played, and so much has changed since then. So you could try the free version first if you can get that onto your steam deck, or ask on the subreddit/discourse/discord how well it works for a steamdeck.
