  • Two casual-adjecent games I played a lot over the past week are Mini Motorways and Inscryption: Kacey’s Mod.

    The first one is like a simplified city building simulator that works more like an evolving puzzle, you just build roads to connect houses and buildings of the same color while trying to keep traffic moving along. It might sound overly simple but it gets hectic and intense incredibly fast.

    The other is an expansion to the original Inscryption game, which was a roguelike deckbuilder with a horror-ish spin that, no spoilers, went places lmao. What the expansion does is essentially take out all the story and convert a specific part of the game into an actual endlessly repeatable roguelike. It’s challenging, but very engaging, and the presentation is just 10/10.


  • Plus, communities like these need quantity as much as quality to thrive. Each wave of Reddit expats makes this place better and more attractive to the next one, rinse and repeat. There’ll be another exodus when the TPAs officially die, most likely bigger than this one since it’ll hit in a more personal way. And then there’ll be more after that, because we both know Reddit isn’t gonna stop digging its own grave anytime soon.


  • Isn’t having multiple communities instead of a default one a strength instead of a potential issue? Like, sure, if you’re personally following more than one you’ll likely end up running across repeating posts, but should one of them become a problem in any way the users can just abandon it for one of the others. Kinda like what happened with r/curatedtumblr, but the “new” option has been there all along. Plus, some will naturally prefer sticking to the smaller ones.
