I made this site and it's awesome. But I don't run it anymore. Now I'm just a plebe like you.

[POLL] RMN Birthday Event

I voted for Retro 10 days because I would actually compete in that.

A step closer to finishing the beta monster recruitment processing!
In case player forget what name corresponds to a monster an image of the stored monster appears!

I will play this.

Too derivative for commercialization?

I wanted to mention that while Shovel Knight has a lot of nostalgia in it, its gameplay is far more refined than the games from the era it resembles. It mostly looks like an NES game, but doesn't play like one.

I honestly feel like that's somewhat the problem Shadows of Adam has. It plays far too much into the hand of nostalgia for its gameplay.

I'm guessing you've heard of the work going on around IRCv3? It sounds like pretty interesting stuff, although I have no idea how organised the working group is.

Yup, I follow their Github. I wanted to get a bead on its status for a possible gamedev web-based realtime chat.

Spoiler alert: it's not going well. The big IRC networks refuse to participate, their daemons are barely updated versions of 80s code, and its a political trash fire. I'm kind of thinking at this point IRC might as well just be trashed and something new started. Something akin to Mastodon.

RMN should have sticked with IRC.

While I love IRC, the state of IRC is kind of a shit show. The largest networks have actively refused to modernize. Some people are trying to help, but they get caught bickering about stupid things instead.

Really though, the state of internet chat is not good.

That image above is bad. It's supposed to be one community interacting; not a bunch of disconnected pockets.
It IS one community interacting: the forum is the community interaction.

So all those other things aren't the community and we can just remove the links to them?

The point is that if a link shows up on the site, it's endorsed/official/blessed/etc. With all those options, you're just fragmenting people. The community is more than the forums.

Why is having different offsite hangout areas bad, though? A site that gets large enough will automatically form different subgroups no matter what, and there's already plenty on the main site to encourage cross-pollination. If people want to shoot the shit in whichever area they like, seems fine to me.
Choice paralysis, friction for new users, elitist clique forming, maintenance costs, fairness between areas.

That image above is bad. It's supposed to be one community interacting; not a bunch of disconnected pockets.

Those aren't "subgroups". And if the site is getting into the business of officially endorsing subgroups (say like how Deviantart does it), it should build tools to help. If not, those pockets are as good as non-existent.

To get all the community interaction going on in that hypothetical image, I would have to run 10 different programs to do so.

As pointed out, look at the forums: that's the same thing regardless of program (so long as its a browser obviously) or device.

it's a place to go to pass judgement on the lesser members who only consume the forums and site.

DAAAAAAAAAAMN you're not wrong.
