This seems really promising. Unfortunately, I expect they'll still use Steam DRM, but everything I've heard so far is immensely promising so who know, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll skip even that.

Maybe an immitation of a military uniform top? Makes you look like someone who worships the military, but not enough to actually join, and who also doesn't really respect the uniform or its implications. Thats cringy to basically anyone who looks at it, whether they like the military or hate it, almost anywhere the the world, but also still benign enough wear in public.

Stardew Valley is a good one, but I definately wouldn't consider Terraria casual or low-stress.

Minetest isn't really a substitute for Minecraft. Yes, its similar, but its far less polished, lacking in content, vanilla and otherwise, and is missing a lot of the technical functionality that makes much of Minecraft's content (esspecially on the modding side) possible. Don't get me wrong, I want to like it, and I've debated trying to contibute to it myself (although my skills are very lackluster) but as it stands its only really a substitute in the context of things like casually playing Pocket Edition.

At least the stuff I've seen is more a criticism of the lack of functionality for the Rabbit, esspecially unique functionality or areas where it excels. The fact that it is basically all able to be contained in one app is viewed as evidence of the relative simplicity, and the fact that (as reviews highlighted) a phone provides a better interaction method compared to the dedicated devices just highlights how unnecessary the hardware is.

Basically, its competing against phones in functionality, but a phone at that price can do everything it can and better, plus so much more. Even worse when considering everyone also already owns a phone and won't be able to replace with a Rabbit.

So basically, the government doesn't care about the issues and doesn't plan to do anything about it.

Video is very too the point so I'd recommend watching it, but...

Tl;dw: Epic very optimisticly sells a 10th the amount of Steam, and offer effectively no discoverability. Most indie devs will get sales in the double digits and total playercounts in ths single digits.

I'm asking because I've personally found it far more hostile than Reddit (the only other platform I've put much time into). What I've mostly seen is that people downvote quickly and tend towards eliteism relative to Reddit. That said, I recognize that this could be just by instance or community, so I'm curious how others have found it.

First thought is that its almost certainly something from Warhammer 40k. Probably one of the Dark Eldar (or just their civilization as a whole). They're a super-advanced, post-scarcity civilization that basically worships torture and uses their technology to "perfect" it.

Edit: spelling

I don't know about your location specifically or the specific age range you're refering to, but at least where I am, school/college tends to start at like 8:00 am, and most students want to or need to work fairly busy jobs given the ongoing cost of living crisis. Considering that, it means they can't stay up late, and don't have much energy to socialize compared to older generations. Although again, this varys by area and individual.

What about Vampire Survivors, as well as numerous other games, using spinners or other slot-machine-like animations to represent RPG drops? Should all of these games be banned for the same reason? If anything, many of these better re-create the slot machine experience with their flashy effects and more substantial results.

They're not really getting much of a cut like this though. It might drive some players back towards the official store but I doubt the small amount of money there is even remotely worth it. I kinda wonder if there's a legal reason for this, such as needing to legally regulate transactions and gambling within their game. As is, I know some custom servers have lootboxes, for example, which could get Valve in trouble. Otherwise, it seems very out of character for the company that has previously tried to endorse paid mods (albiet in a way that gives themselves a direct cut) and is normally very laissez-faire.
