Honestly it seems like physical pain was far more prevalent, for the average person

Wonder how many libs would subscribe to a VoA Patreon lol

I got addicted and played a ton of VI and was very excited about VII for a long time. Despite the cost I bought it, knowing the hours I’d invest would make it worth it. And so far I’ve found the little moments of joy through discovering other civs, lands, resources, civics, techs, etc, really everything, is pretty much gone. It’s incredibly strange, it’s like the devs just forget that those baked-in dopamine hits are a big part of the experience. Honestly it’s just not very fun

If you liked the mid-2000s hit action-thriller movie Black Hawk Down, you’ll absolutely love its sequel: Hexbear Down

I think there’s totally room for some knowledge sharing from Hexbear in starting up the Lemmy. I’m not a mod there but I remember like taking away the downvote button was a good decision, and definitely some other things the community had to learn the hard way. There could definitely be some federated sister sites like this and Hexbear that start to form a cool tapestry of communities
