Thanks! Here's to hoping it grows into a helpful space for folks! Remember to mention it to anyone else that might be interested!

On 5, have you heard of Crying Suns? Crying Suns is more in the vein of FTL, so not a deckbuilder, but if memory serves I think it has the branching map to it.
It's received some praise for its setting from what I gather, but I haven't gotten around to seriously playing it, so can't speak much to that.
I'm not familiar with those, so this might be a bad suggestion, but the short description makes me think this may still fit, have you read The City & the City by China Miéville?
It's set in two overlapping cities, whose inhabitants diligently disregard the other city's until they formally cross the borders, and it's a crime to do otherwise. It's a pretty compelling read imo!
Do you feel more embodied?
...or isekai'd? 🤨
Neocities came up in another question I asked, and so I looked into it. They have a couple ways they handle funding, via donations or becoming a supporter and subscribing for a little each month.
You may have already looked this up by now, but for anyone else that comes across this and was wondering too, there ya go!
👀 is there a new good Sonic game out?
When you say hide it, do you mean back where you found it or elsewhere? Are there some that encourage you to add/move parts of the caches around from one to another?
Is it mainly voice chat? I tend to prefer text chat as I don't like fussing with audio settings nor hearing roughly handled mics (albeit I know you can often mute those players).
are we safe?
Lemmy is a technology where each instance follows the same rules: acompatible federation API. You want people to know your website is a Lemmy instance.
I kind of see where you're coming from, and I think the reason I wasn't thinking of it in those terms is that I see ActivityPub as the more important underlying tech across the fediverse than say Lemmy/Mastodon/Friendica/etc.
I say that in part as I've come into the fediverse from Mastodon, where there's more than two options in play, e.g. Akkoma/Firefish/Misskey/Pleroma/etc. each of which has some commonalities, but also some pretty distinctive features, particularly from the Misskey side. Hell, Mastodon itself even has Glitchsoc, which is what the original instance I joined on that side of things runs.
On reflection, I don't know that the microblogging instances mix in the name of the software they're using as much, which you'd think with more options they might be inclined to, but the more I think of it the more I remember a lot of them use some fun, odd names instead.
Would reminding them that Trump is a major reason abortion rights are on the backslide in the US help? Or that Republicans are running around banning (or trying to ban) books from libraries? Or that Republicans are largely refusing to allocate taxpayers' money to help taxpayers?
