Once you won EVE, try out Prosperous Universe. No combat. Just the economics/trading of EVE, no need to always be on.

Plus, we have the best spreadsheets.

If you don’t watch what your kids play, your kids will find something inappropriate to play. This isn’t just a Roblox problem. Not suggesting Roblox shouldn’t have better moderation (holy hell should they) but this isn’t unexpected. Should it be? Maybe. Could they realistically do it? Probably not without some serious vetting changes—changes that would make “experience makers” have to wait to get their games approved.

Lock down the accounts so they can’t see server chat or get messages from randoms. Only allow your (parent) account to add friends. Play with them. Be present, at least somewhat, when they play.

I’ll chime in and say that math teachers have said similar things about calculators/graphing calculators for 25+ years. This is most definitely you getting “old”. It’s okay—it happens to all of us.

As far as attention span, that has been an equally common refrain—going back to people complaining that radio has reduced kids attention spans.

Just buy them from the vending machine.

Not really a sim, but def a fan of space games. Void Crew has been great.

Eh, 30% in a parliamentary system is effectively the majority.

We need a ShitRimWorldSays community on Lemmy stat.

Management game you say? May I suggest Prosperous Universe?

Just normal lemmy.ml things. Block and move on.

I mean, I am on board with that. There probably isn’t free will.

But, we should continue to jail those not following society’s rules. If we could jail hurricanes so as to not cause damage, we would—why is jailing a person any different?

The game is definitely not for everyone, but ProsperousUniverse kind of stands alone when it comes to people’s descriptions of niches/genres.

The game is an economy/real-time MMO with no real PvP. “Real-time” not like an RTS but as in “this operation takes many hours or days” and everyone has that same time burden.

It’s a game where planning far outperforms “always online” gameplay, so people end up learning spreadsheet software to optimize everything for themselves.

In addition, the UI is modular like a Bloomberg terminal, so it feels right—you feel like a trader.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

While I get that others are grossed out by it, this looks fucking delicious to me.

Damn, got me.

Taiwan is Taiwan.

China is West Taiwan.

You could try ProsperousUniverse. It’s more of a game you play while you play others, but definitely a “wait, I spent 18 hours on a spreadsheet?” type of game.

I know very little about Lemmy specifically, but 403 generally means you’re not auth’d or don’t have permission.

Do you need to set an auth header perhaps? Your best bet would be to bring up browser dev tools and see what request the working browser is doing.
