    Thanks! I found the tutorials were mostly based on the older godot 2, and the new system is significantly different. How did you find the best source for learning the system?

    Yeah, I would much rather have the aesthetics and avoid the dystopian tech authoritarianism.

    They scratch that itch of playing a game but with mostly story, and no decision fatigue.

    I’d love to be able to play a game for litrpgs I’ve enjoyed like arcane ascension (sufficiently advanced magic) or dungeon crawler Carl. Maybe they will be made one day!

    I like it, it’s a bit extra if you want, and I’m guessing giving credit to where they found it (citing your source as it were).

    In a similar vein, has anyone had any positive experience with closed communities which aren’t accessible without an account? The particular problem with this type of community is it’s hard to know which ones are active because by their nature they are hidden. I do wonder if this is the future though, what with bots crawling the internet at large.

    I think it’s interesting in this post they specifically say they are making a real death threat, and quote legislation about what crime they are committing. I’m would think it’s a rhetoric device, but it seems a little foolish and opens them up to legal issues if someone decides to take it literally!

    Convenience trap is exactly right. It’s tempting in the same way that crap candy bar is that’s by the till. They have used every psychological technique to try and get you to interact with it.

    In many ways I agree, but it is still your (our) problem even if we did all the right things. That’s what makes it even more frustrating.
