  • Getting other launchers to run can be tough so that’s probably why you’d think it won’t work. But to me it’s not worth the effort.

    I’d go with emulating. Any PS2 FIFA game will work great. I’ve gotten WiiU roms to run well. People have gotten Switch games to work (I tried BotE but I need to organize the game files on a separate computer first and see if I can get it to work.) PS3 was a hassle to setup and won’t even work after hours of setup. Ymmv.

    There are some indie games on steam you can try as well but they are more arcady.






  • It’s fine for now. But I very much would prefer a general gaming community for major topics that anybody familiar or not with games can discuss, but also will need more specific communities for discussing:

    PCGaming (including what components are a steal or required theses days, games that are only on Pc or to be ported,etc)

    SteamDeck (just coming out last year it has daily information that needs to be passed around to users) l

    TableTopgames (convention talk, deals, reissues of old games making comebacks, what games for party sizes, best snacks, etc).

    And many more communities that aren’t just for me.

    All of these communities end up getting lost in a larger group like Gaming. Cross posting is not a symptom of having too many communities. It is a symptom of moderating gone wrong and (for reddits case) karma farming.



  • This is speculation but:

    Higher education is typically liberal leaning. Liberals tend to be less religious and far more free thinking.

    Conservatives are far more religious and illiterate/less educated. Conservatism as it is now is a minority to progressive ideologies (frequently outvoted in populist polls).

    To get more power they need more religious and less educated voters to sway with propaganda/media talking heads. Higher ups are certainly pushing the narrative of private education (run by unlicensed teachers; teaching selective conservative values in textbooks) and it’s parroted by every republican voter and their mothers.

    An uneducated voter base will equally vote against their own interest. They just don’t know any better. I’ve seen relatives (grandma with Native American heritage vote republican; anti women’s rights/anti Native American rights/anti social programs) vote to harm themselves because fox told them to. Insanity.



  • You don’t need a few big bubbles(instances.)

    What you need is a well organized search database of communities that belong to thousands of different instances (and need a more streamlined way of subscribing to these communities from each instance).

    Since any instance can essentially connect to another (unless blocked by administrators), you can have tons of these instances distributing the traffic evenly so nobody is bogged down and still access so of the communities across the fediverse.
