Yeah. Luanti following Minecraft is nothing new. Mineclonia was an early pilot game for the engine.
But there hasn’t been much effort on copying Minecraft lately. Mineclonia is done, and it’s great.
We’ve had more mobs, animals, plants, textures, and such than un-modded Minecraft for a long time. (Which is unfair, as Luanti is a mod-first design.) But my point is the core Launti dev team doesn’t have to work on any of that.
The most noticeable recent Luanti updates have been to make the configuration screens much nicer, and add I think to add native support for more graphics tricks?
I’m not paying attention to graphics in Luanti. As others have mentioned, that’s not why I play it. I actually had a conversation recently about the best way to downgrade Luanti default graphics to match un-modded Minecraft.
That said, the Minecraft team taking notice of Luanti would be new, as far as I know.
This may be literally life of death for some affected persons. A lot of folks in Alaska could die if deprived of a public option for transportation of goods they rely on for survival.
If a private railway is a good capitalist idea, let’s let the magic hand of capitalism provide a new separate private line.
Maintaining a public option is common sense economics. The market can add more options, if there’s actually real value being missed, but the rest of us can still vote against it with our time and energy when it tries to enshitify.

The ripoff artist made $42,0000.00. Apple made $18,000.00.
The original creator made ~$2,000.00, after TikTok comments pointed people to the original.
And
“Apple encourages the parties to a dispute to work directly with one another to resolve the claim.”
Apple facilitated theft, and owes this developer $60,000.00 if they lose in court. But they know they don’t have to lose in court, because they can spend $6,000,000.00 or more on lawyers, forever, to set a precedent to discourage others from suing.
Nice. This is for me, if it runs on SteamDeck. I cannot be arsed to buy the latest great game system, but once a remake runs on the thing I already have, I’ll try it and enjoy it.
I wish i hadn’t spoiled it for myself years ago though
For what it’s worth, I read the book the game was based on, before playing the game, so I knew ::: spoiler (vague nature of a Reach spoiler) how the ending would go ::: in advance, but it still works great, even when spoiled. The game really earns it, so it works even if it’s not a surprise.
But that’s why I still can’t even include it inside a spoiler tag. Feels best to let folks find it themselves, who don’t already know.
Spoilers for Reach+ I personally found it very satisfying that the mission leading up to a space battle actually then includes participating in the space battle, and it’s fun. Most games would cutscene past what the game engine couldn’t handle, or would include a barely playable space battle. The one in Reach was a nice surprise. + The cutscene after taking down the space station is easily among the top 10 video game cutscenes, for me. It may be the most Spartan thing ever Spartan-ed. + The end fight is pretty unique. I replayed it recently with my kid, and I was amused by the respect it earned with him. I can’t even put it in a spoiler tag, though.
My favourite board game without a doubt is diplomacy but those games go for like 6+ hours and requires 7 people. Also everybody will be yelling at everybody at some point, so yeah probably not a good pick lol
Yeah. Diplomacy is fantastic…and we can strongly recommend that OP avoid it, anyway. Lol.
