Roguelike vs Roguelite - what's the difference?
  • Is it any easier to find roguelites instead of roguelikes, or vice versa? The terms are so similar, and everyone has a different definition, that any nuance when tag searching is lost. I respectfully disagree, I feel like anyone asking where to find traditional roguelikes knows where to find them better than finding roguelikes instead of roguelites, etc etc.

  • Roguelike vs Roguelite - what's the difference?
  • This should be higher up. Roguelite is a dead term imo. Language has evolved such that roguelike and roguelite are basically the same. The nuances change between every person you ask. So the debate is completely pointless. Just call them all roguelikes, and if you are referring to the traditional ones, call them as such. Traditional, classic, true, whatever.

  • Discord Servers asking for Phone Numbers and 'Verification Levels'
  • I'll be honest, I don't even know what you're asking. Discord owns all data on Discord. Server "owners" do not own anything from a data security standpoint. If you are asking a question in good faith, please rephrase it into smaller sentences. If you are arguing in bad faith, I have no desire to continue this thread.

  • Discord Servers asking for Phone Numbers and 'Verification Levels'
  • I'm sorry, but it's probably in your best interest to do some research and actually read the discord Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before arguing about something you lack knowledge in. Creators of a Discord server are not responsible for members' data that they send to Discord. That relationship is between Discord and the Member, not the creator of a server. Any "contractual agreement" you are talking about is covered when you click "I agree" when creating an account, the devs' accounts included.

    This is a ridiculous argument that has a correct answer that Discord themselves will tell you.

  • SAD light location and use for programmers?
  • I would bet the direct light on your face from the monitor and the lamp contributing to your headaches. That is a very high amount of strain on your eyes. Please turn your monitor brightness down, and other people are saying you don't need to have it directly at you for 8 hours. That seems very excessive, and you even said it's not enough, so you may want to just look at alternatives and curbing the headaches. Have you considered going to therapy or seeing a psychiatrist about this?

  • Xbox Slammed For AI-Generated Art Promoting Indie Games
  • This is the only point that matters. Even if AI is here to stay, that's fine, you just don't use it when specifically highlighting the demographic most threatened by its usage. The post was just a bad business decision; they should have known how it could come across. It's their job to know that kinda stuff before hitting Post.

  • Kaspersky/Securelist researchers detail zero-click iPhone exploit involving four distinct zero-day vulnerabilities, including undocumented hardware features in iPhone chips
  • This is kind of a ridiculous take. I hate iPhones, but this is not a "hurr durr iPhones bad and insecure" moment. I implore you to look at the sophistication of this attack. The attack chain is so ridiculously long and complex, and only because of the security of the iPhone. This is not a script kiddie attack, and could only be executed by a very determined party.

    No device is secure, and any and all computers could potentially fall victim to an attack like this, but it is absolutely ignorant to say that iPhones don't offer any more security than other devices.

  • In Death: Unchained Receives Major Update for Meta Quest 3 | 6DOF Reviews
  • In Death (not Unchained) is abandoned on Steam. So much so, in fact, that it crashes when you launch it because the leaderboards were shut down. You have to go into your firewall and create a role to deny the Internet from the game in order for it to launch.

  • Convert 🇪 🇲 🇴 🇯 🇮 usernames?

    Not sure if that renders the same for everyone, but I'm very tired of seeing the big emoji letter usernames. Is there an option to convert these usernames to ASCII or otherwise not render them? If not, could this be something that could be implemented? I don't want to resort to blocking everyone, but I may if there's no other choice. It's very visually annoying and distracting.

    Best ad-free simple multiplayer games?

    I'm looking to play some mobile games online with my partner while we're away; something simple and potentially asynchronous but doesn't have to be. Something like Words With Friends but not cluttered and overrun with ads. Simple board games, strategy, or other casual games.

    Anyone have any suggestions? Doesn't necessarily have to be free, but it is preferred. I've looked all over but navigating the Play Store is a nightmare if you're not looking for the top 20 grossing games.

    Edit: Thank you to the very few who actually gave some recommendations closer to what I asked for. To be more clear, the kind of games I am looking for are:

    • Ad-free (it's okay if it's cheap to remove ads as long as the game is not overly monetized and cluttered)
    • Simple, quick
    • Online / remote
    • Asynchronous (not required)

    Hide Duplicate Crossposts?

    Is there a way to hide posts that have identical titles on identical sibling communities? My feed gets cluttered really fast when I'm subbed to a big community on two different instances because people often crosspost. I'm tempted to leave one, but I don't want to miss anything.

    Pay to Just Remove Ads?

    Is there any chance we'll see another paid premium tier that only removes ads? I really don't want another subscription, but I also can't justify $100 just to remove ads.
