Overspiced!? Umm…no. No it is not.

Awesome, great write-up. Thanks for the info!

Thanks! Edit: Link isn’t working for me for some reason. Bummer

Can someone sum up the controversy? I’ve seen quite a bit but not sure exactly what’s what.

Yeah, good idea. I did. Not sure if it’s even possible with the lemmyverse though, as I have yet to come across a well organized ‘page’ like that yet.

I found this one, and checked it out a few times. It’s not where it needs to be. Is there a way to maybe sticky or have sub-topics specifically for things such as builds, or quest faq, or things like that? I think maybe some nesting or stickied topics would help. Some type of sub-categorization inside the actual (not sure what we call these, topics?).

I don’t have one, that’s why I’m trying to look for one! But when I find a good combo I will be posting it, yes.

Yeah, I’ve run into this here. I posted a question to one of the posts asking why it was such a big deal, and all the sudden I’m a corporate defender. I don’t think this is a reddit, lemmy, or anything issue, it’s just internet and echo chambers. If you don’t reply with a “OMG YES SO TRUE OMG” then you are a dissident.

So, for my two cents: REDDIT was my go to for very biased but usually non-corporate info. For example, Baldurs Gate 3. In the past, I would research ‘BG3 builds reddit’ and just check out different builds people tried. It was always much better than going to a crappy corporate owned ‘gaming mag’ type website, where most of them just copy/pasted info from reddit anyway. It was a pretty good repository for info like that, and reddthat (or lemmy I guess) has not reached that level yet. I tried doing some searching on here for bg3 builds, almost nada.

Gnomoria $3.99 and got about 300 hours out of it. It was a game that took a lot of inspiration from Dwarf Fortress but had ‘graphics.’ The dev stepped away a while ago but pretty sure everyone that bought it got their $$ worth.
