I have a bridge to sell anyone who believes that.

Narrator: they monetised the site to death.

Lembot_0003,

… and beyond!

Lame, play Luanti (free and open source)

www.luanti.org

The Voxelibre mod is probably what you want to start with if you want to have a Minecraft+ like survival experience.

Edit You can download Luanti from F-droid too… as in the Android store!!! The touch screen controlsk work great on a phone and I am pretty sure you can use a gamepad if you want too. Luanti/Voxelibre multiplayer servers thus are actually kind of awesome social hangout chatroom-esque spaces that are very chill and low pressure. Also… most of them that say they are family friendly are serious in their moderation around it (though of course, if you are a parent don’t count on it being 100% perfect at screening out annoying people).

Or Vintage Story

Vintage Story looks like a pretty cool survival! Do you have recommendations for games on Luanti?

Are there texture packs to make the whole thing less “aliexpress minecraft”-y ?

supersquirrel,

Heck yes!

content.luanti.org/packages/Wuzzy/…/hub/

There is built in community mod and texture browser in Luanti as well so it couldn’t be easier!

BuboScandiacus,
@BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz avatar

Nice ! Do you have a personal favorite ?

supersquirrel,

I don’t mind the vanilla texture pack, but I was starting to get bored of it I mean I won’t argue it is amazing compared to the obviously very mature world of minecraft texture packs.

I will switch between the ones I downloaded and edit with some recommendations if any stick out to me!

Also I like playing on the multiplayer servers, some of them are really chlll and I prefer to explore multiplayer servers with the vanilla texture pack (or whatever the server intends) and then switch to different ones after I see the landscape all the architects and artists intended in the right light first if that makes sense?

BuboScandiacus,
@BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz avatar

Oh, ok 👍

Are there servers you would recommend ? (Chiller ones, with player interaction and trade preferably)

supersquirrel,

Blocky Survival, Your Land and Square One are all pretty chill, the nice thing is that they are all running collections of modpacks that create a minecraft+ experience, so it is a good intro to what Luanti and Voxelibre can be!

when they fix the hardcoded craftmethod table so we can do data-driven craftmethods, maybe. i tried years ago and the code was so spaghettified that i gave up.

Obviously they will. Years down the road. 🤗

Oh so they’ll do it subtly enough to think people won’t notice.

Sounds like the bedrock-only part is just a visual update. If you’re on Java you already have access to shaders.

But still - fuck MS for making bedrock a totally separate game so they could avoid giving alpha buyers free in app purchases.

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

I for one am happy they didn’t twist the original game into the bullshit that bedrock edition has become.

RandomVideos,

But they gave all bedrock players who bought it from minecraft.net java edition for free and are now selling both games

Also, bedrock edition was created years before microsoft bought mojang

The in-app purchases are obviously bad and mojang tried making bedrock edition the “official” version, but there were reasons other than money that the 2 versions were separated

Conservatives should be banning mods if they’re banning books. Games are for children, right? Right???

Etterra, do games w 'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events

I mean RuneScape sucks anyway, so…

finitebanjo,

Other MMOs wish they could have been RuneScape

Rancor_Tangerine,

I’m not sure it’s really the same kind of thing. I’d argue anyone who is genuinely interested in an MMO would like a different game better. RuneScape has more in common with an AOL chatroom or text based game than a moden MMO even by the standards for an MMO way back when.

Other games wish they were WOW and WOW is a bad game imo.

DeathsEmbrace,

MMORPGs are shit grind fests change my mind. The reward is basically what survival games feel like.

Rancor_Tangerine,

A lot of them are. You’re not wrong. There are a few gems, but I feel like technical limitations made a lot of early ones pure grindfests. Never my favorite genre. I did like Ragnarok Online back in the day. Total grindfests. Lol.

DeathsEmbrace,

It was joyful and the players made it amazing as well. You weren’t alone was the best part in some games.

Rancor_Tangerine,

The War of Emperium concept is easily one of my top 5 greatest game features. Probably #1 or #2. Such a blowout cool idea especially for it’s time.

finitebanjo,

Some people still have strong possitive feelings for AIM.

Runescape outlived WoW.

Rancor_Tangerine,

In 2009 RuneScape had ~200,000 daily players. WoW had ~5.5 million.

Current estimates are RuneScape at ~150,000 and I’m being generous. WoW is at ~1.1 million.

I don’t like WoW either, but it’s the king for a reason.

That reason is they paid addiction specialists to tune drop rates and combat to make children addicted to their product.

finitebanjo,

I genuinenely did not know that WoW was still running, tbh.

Rancor_Tangerine,

Legend says it has to be cast into Mount SexualAssault from which it came.

RisingSwell,

OSRS hit almost a mil concurrent last leagues iirc, so it isn’t like it’s a small irrelevant game.

RS3 is pretty dead though

Rancor_Tangerine,

Agreed. It’s one of the greats.

Trying to say it outlived WoW or in some way beat it is wrong through.

RisingSwell,

Wow would have to actually be dead first I suppose

Etterra,

RuneScape wishes it was Ultima Online.

arifinhiding, do games w 'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events

Pride month celebrations were my go-to events in secret. My family doesn’t really understand the niche appeal of the game, and state religious agents can’t really “disguise themselves” ingame. But if Jagex is veering right, they might (like twitter) sell my information to security agencies the same way the Sauds/Turks did to Twitter a few years ago.

At least I get to wear my pride cape 24/7 until my membership runs out. In hindsight, It was a bad idea to assume that shooting stars/maple forestry/w301 hate chats were “isolated incidents”. They’re clearly part of an ongoing trend that has the CEO’s approval. Oh well, there’s always a countdown to good things. I should enjoy it while it lasts.

outhouseperilous,

Not everything has to be shit at all times. We could make a world where good things are, like, normal.

amino,

consider private servers. idk if they’re less reactionary though because I haven’t tried them

Yeah people don’t want politics in their escapism. Makes sense to me

Fantasy is filled to the brim with politics.

JackbyDev,

Refusing to acknowledge that queer people exist is “political” and queer people engaging in escapism deserve to feel seem and included.

rabber,

You shouldn’t have to do the event to get the special item and emote then

rs has been declining quite a while, especially since they have significant periods of content droughts. getting gutted by PE firms isnt helping it.

codfishjoe,

The player base has been steadily increasing for years on the old school side whereas the RS3 has been slowly dying.

I am curious how much of their revenue is propped up by whales on the RS3 side

terminhell, do gaming w Gooner game of the year Stellar Blade's mods are 41% smut, ensuring gamers will never see the light of heaven

And this is a problem, why? Mods are from the community. It’s what they want to add or change in the game. You could probably get similar numbers for a lot of games.

Hell, forget Nexus, look at lovers lab (or don’t if you wanna stay pure lol).

I’m with you. Very puritan, kinkshaming article. Stellar Blade might not be my thing, but I know not to yuck people’s yum. One could take the opportunity to discuss sexual objectification, but apparently that’s off the table.

DragonTypeWyvern,

I have a complaint for sure, there wasn’t a slutty outfit for Adam. This is outrageous and unfair, I demand equal representation

The title was funnier than the article, I must admit.

SnortsGarlicPowder, do gaming w Gooner game of the year Stellar Blade's mods are 41% smut, ensuring gamers will never see the light of heaven

41% is way less than I was expecting.

DragonTypeWyvern,

I bet compared to the base game outfits it’s not even that high
