I was all ready to call bullshit. Don't need to slow the game down even further!
But this is a pretty reasonable solution that may actually speed up play and take some referee variance out of high pressure situations.
SMAC - Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
X-COM - UFO Defense (The Original)
Shining Force (Game that got me started)
Battletech

Craft stuff. Knit, Crochet, Sew.

Run, Bike, Skate, Row, Swim, move!
The Who's Tommy Pinball Wizard. I was expecting some cool music, and pinball. Maybe something like The Wall. Nope, What I got was Uncle Eddy and the Acid Queen.
That might make you more efficient at the process, but anyone can derive value from even basic implementation of critical thought.
Marine boot camp, infantry school, and Ramadi all felt pretty unsafe. My latchkey childhood roaming the streets of Las Vegas felt pretty unsafe.
Much more interested in the free exchange of ideas, that's why im hanging out in an open forum discussing random shit with strangers to get perspective different than my own.
What makes me feel unsafe is the thought that not walking on eggshells softly enough might hurt some petty tyrants feelings and they'll use their small sliver of influence to cut me off. We should be able to talk freely with each other.
For example, I'm really enjoying this discussion right now.
This is the technique I've also been using, or visiting individual communities.
That's a great idea. I'm on board.
I was venting. I'm not a fan of the idea of safe spaces, censoring, or mods in general. That's what the up and down vote buttons are for. I like the wild and free frontier internet, and Lemmy was feeling like that.
I think what they did probably hurt the migration and adoption of the platform, hopefully not too much.
Of course its their decision to make, I'm not going to change it, but I don't respect them for it. And that's OK, I don't have to.
That's a real bitch move, basically shadowbanning huge portions of the reddit migration. Unsubscribed from everything they host and lost a ton of content. Hopefully we can grow our own technology, gaming and whatever other large discussion hubs.
This isn't much better than what reddit is doing, fucking safe spaces. I miss the hell out of the internet at the turn of the millennium. When the users started touching things it all went to shit.
Both kinda, if RIF is gone I'll only use it through old.reddit for research purposes and make Lemmy my main app.
I can stomach a meal or two without meat, but you're going to have to shoot me before I'll eat that disgusting fake cheese.
