!Bside@fedia.io Bside gaming has reached 172 subscribers. And I have made the fourth mega post .

!Bside@fedia.io an alternative gaming community is still growing slowly. There are now 141 subscribers. I keep posting regularly indie game news or links to games directly that seem to be interesting. Agent_Karyo helps a lot with posting on the community. Last Sunday I posted the third issue of the web zine, which is basically a mega-post with a collection of news, articles, top 10s, and more done in the style resembling an old gaming computer magazine.

That would be nice, thanks.

Thank you

!Bside@fedia.io My alternative gaming community has reached 96 subscribers, so close to 100. I wanted to explain a little a bit the reasons for making the community and what the difference is between other Indie gaming communities.

Before making this community, I searched for communities for “indie games” and found only one active on lemmy.ml, so I thought an indie gaming community that is not on .ml would be nice. My mistake was though that I did not search for “indie gaming,” which made me misd the community on Lemmy.world, which I was pointed out to me later. But at that time I already had quite a few subscribers, and I had made many posts. So I did not want to close the community.

So I started trying to make it different from other Indie gaming communities. One thought I had even before finding out about indie gaming was to focus more on the smaller indie titles and Foss games. The Problem with that idea was I did not know where to draw the line; what should be considered a small indie game? In the end, I decided to drop the idea and allow all the indie games, but I personally would focus a bit more on titles that are somewhat smaller.

A difference that existed since the conception of the community was that I specifically allow NSFW content to be posted. Because I believe adult games are as much part of gaming as other games, and I think most apps and clients allow NSFW content blocking in case someone does not want to see it.

New recent changes I have made to differentiate it from other communities are that it is now allowed to post game mods and ROM hacks. Additionally, it allowed posting free or commercial links to game assets for others to use in their indie games that they are developing.

So in the end !Bside@fedia.io is an indie gaming++ community. So feel free to join if you think it is something for you.

I give up, personally I think he 100% right in what he is saying bureaucrats are the problem and should be removed not with loyalist but with compent people. seeing that people down vote me makes me sad and I fear people can’t judge clearly anymore between valid government critism and what Trump is doing. But it is how it is. I will not continue this conversation. I hope this will not turn into a witch hunt but I am afraid now that it will.

But that has nothing do with the comment Andy Yen made. The reason he probably he made this comment is because he frustrated with bureaucracy like many other people daily are. We need to be able to separate valid criticism from the madness that Trump is. Else this is going to turn into witch hunt where everyone who says or does something with minimal similarity to Trump is labeled a Trump loyalist.

That is something totally different. Seriously I do not understand the problem. You should worry about the opposite, not being able to expression your opinion that leads to dictatorship. Being able to call them out for being lazy should not be something people should be afraid of.

You are warning about the wrong thing though being able to criticize the government or federal employees is a fundamental right of democracy.

But they are lazy at least in Europe they are it is very specific they are lazy and do not want to work, not all of the but many.

I think you are stretching they have protection here too that does not mean we can not criticize for bad work. How is calling them lazy a step removing those protection? People should call out those abuse their position being able to do so is good and democratic. Only by calling out the problems of a system that system can be improved, staying silent and ignoring the issues is problematic not calling them out. That does not mean everyone should be fired for any reason, it mean there is room for improvement.

I don’t see anything wrong here, calling bureaucrats lazy has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. I call then all the time lazy and useless in my country.

!Bside@fedia.io 9 new subscribers since last time, so it is growing slowly. I am still almost the only one posting, but I am patient. Yesterday I posted my second issue of the zine in the form of a post, and it was well received, so I will continue doing that.

!Bside@fedia.io an community for alternative gaming is slowly growing at the moment there are 79 subscribers. so far from the 35 post only one is not mine. I get some occasional comments which is nice.

I a pinned thread with a collection of news in a form of a zine somewhat similar to what user PerfectDark does from the steamdeck and games communities. It includes a poll asking if game mods and romhacks should be part of the community and so far I have only 3 votes.

there is no year 0 we started at 1.

Do you use VPN? I get that error since I started using vpn and I need to switch remote connection.

It seems like posts I made before mentioning b-side gaming here don’t federate. Is there something I can do to federate them or should I repost them?

Good to know. I was not sure I did it correctly.

Yeah I don’t understand why you get downvoted
