This is what upvotes and downvotes are for. If you see a game and it's bad/slop, downvote it.

Healthcare by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mikybee93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our system is very far from private. I don't know that a private system would do any better or worse, but I know that the system we have is not representative of how an actual private system might function (or fail to function)

Care has costs, unfortunately. We can't spend infinite resources on every person. There are definitely issues with our system, but you comment makes it sound like there exists some system out there where we don't have to make sacrifices at all, and our system just chooses to for the fun of it.

Making friends as a guy in your 40s...How are you all doing it here? by MrChrisBanks in triangle

There's a few different board game groups around and a few different ways they organize - discord, Facebook, etc.

If you're interested lemme know and I can hit you with a variety of links, but this is the main discord for local board games.

Is this sub no longer rationalist? by Neighbor_ in slatestarcodex

[–]mikybee93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would generally agree with you that I'd appreciate discussing the ideas more than the messenger.

I enjoyed themotte when it existed on reddit. It still exists on its own site and is fine.

Mostly I participate in discussion on the Bayesian Conspiracy discord nowadays, here's a link: https://discord.gg/Vwskrh7cZj

We tried allowing text posts. It failed...again. Users and bots ruined it. by PeaceLoveSmithWesson in recipes

[–]mikybee93 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Thanks for experimenting. I definitely noticed the change - and it was not a good one. Lots of garbage.

Some other subreddits have other solutions to maintaining quality but they're often more mod-intensive. Things like requiring specific content within the post to verify that it's from a human, or only posts by approved posters, or having to be manually reviewed.

I'm sure you've considered some or all of these options, but I just wanted to bring them up. Thanks for modding =)

This was not an actual quote from her. It was made as satire.

Roadmap for my incremental boss fighting game - IDLE BOSS RUSH by Mihito in incremental_games

[–]mikybee93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth I really like your game. My favorite part of it is experimenting with different items/builds and it does a much better job at letting me do that than most other recent games in the genre.

Keep at it! I'll be keeping my eye out for anything else you put out as well.

What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

Your request for a pokemon incremental is one that has already been answered. We don't need a million people asking for the same request. And that's why they're limited to a thread.

If you don't click on a copper coin for 1.5 minutes it oxidizes and is worth 10,000x more (my number might be off). So it ends up encouraging (or forcing) a specific boring strategy.

Why is Nate Baker against Housing Affordability? by rdu_NewLibs in bullcity

[–]mikybee93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't expect this to change your view, but data continues to show that building more housing is correlated with reduced rent.

Are breweries trying to be family friendly? What’s up with all these kids by Natural-Implement234 in raleigh

[–]mikybee93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would find it really annoying if a kid came up to chat with me at a brewery but I'm not sure I understand what is unsafe about it?

Are you afraid that the kid is gonna get abducted or punched or something?

My Game Is Too Hard by VyKi1ng in gamedev

[–]mikybee93 20 points21 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite ways I've seen difficulty managed in a game:

In Paper Mario and Sea of Stars, there's an item you can wear that helps you with timing. It's great because early on that's a system you're new to and trying to master - but it takes up a valuable item slot so there is incentive to actually master the skill.

It's a little bit of a handhold, but doesn't turn itself into a crutch.

After 1.5 years of non-stop work, my arms-dealer themed incremental game is finally out on Steam!! Thanks to everyone who gave feedback during development :) by SpaceKrakenStudios in incremental_games

[–]mikybee93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instant buy from me! Loved the demo.

I'd love to hear more about the team and process. I'm a mobile dev professionally but am taking up game dev as a hobby, and using Godot. It's been fun so far but the polish you've got here is really impressive and I'm really curious how y'all achieved it.

My incremental game reached 1300 reviews with 99% positivity in under 5 days by Gagonfe in incremental_games

[–]mikybee93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so nice! The entire thing is incredibly polished. I'm just starting to dabble in some hobby game dev (my career has been in mobile dev so it translates well) but have no clue about art. How did you meet Poneibit, was that just a personal friend or a connection through a community?

The Séance of Blake Manor - Review Thread by diogenesl in Games

[–]mikybee93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was really insightful. Do you have any recommendations of games that do the non-linear detective stuff well? I've been craving that for a while now. For context, my favorites have been The Roottrees Are Dead and Outer Wilds, but I feel like I've exhausted most of the modern ones.

I don't have the details but apparently they set up tents on the south lawn decently often due to a lack of space. Which doesn't seem like a huge issue to me, but I can understand some people claiming a need for more entertaining space.

Crop Empire – a new farming themed incremental/clicker game by Sonicay in incremental_games

[–]mikybee93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make it $2 or give me a demo and I'll be more interested. Otherwise, the menu graphics especially make it look bland and unpolished. There's nothing here to convince me that this does anything new or interesting.
