I like both games but this is subjectively true. I think a lot of people would find the art in Mindustry a lot easier to look at.

It’s the color palette. It’s genuinely terrible. The pixel art itself looks pretty good but those colours just kill it.

Edit: god damn UK phone… color not colour.

How did you get into playing?

Just because there are nearly unlimited resources out there, doesn’t mean we won’t keep abusing the ones down here.

Ehh it kinda does considering you can get a pretty full compiler tool chain running via termux.

It’s a political thing. Signals that you are a nationalist chud.

Ironic because it’s not unusual for cops to not wear seatbelts but they are more likely to die in a single vehicle accident than a gun fight.

Yeah I’m also not a fan of discord but tbh nothing super interesting happens on the discord. Most important discussion is on GitHub. I know that’s also not open source but it’s at least publicly accessible and indexable.

I’d love to see a tic80 community gain some traction on Lemmy.

It’s not but tic80 is honestly a bit cooler anyways.

The bullet proof vests really get me. They are so heavy and unlikely to be nessesary but some cops wear them ever day just to LARP.

The TIC80 fantasy console. It’s like Pico8 but open source.

I got super into it for a while but there just isn’t enough “killer sites” to keep it interesting.

It really is just a little too minimalist. It’s not really easily possible to do forums etc.

Why though? Real question.
