Judging where they are and how they present themselves, it looks like they are just trying to be a troll

I guess I should have been more specific, I apologize. What is the relation to the word "mander" and the topic of the instance?

Maybe not the perfect place to ask, but under topic specific instances, mander is highlighted. What topic is this?

And that's how they get clicks. And now you're talking about it. And me. So it's working

I'd say this is mostly due to budget constraints. Voice acting, music scores, high fidelity art, models, animations etc cost a ton of money. Making random generated boards / levels / dungeons with simple art and scalable gameplay is simply just more feasible.

Another aspect is the popularity of the game. We've seen a lot of saturation in genres over the years. A the peak of PUBG and Fortnite popularity, there were so many battle royale games coming out. Then we got extraction shooters, and so on.

Personally, I love roguelikes and how we got to the point of mixing it with other genres (Balatro, Dungeon Clawler), but I can see your point. I feel the same about 2D (pixel art) platformers: I feel like I've seen it all already and nothing can excite me anymore.

Dangerous driving, repeated DUIs, ecological damage by corporations, stuff like that

Of course I'm being subjective and anecdotal here, but there could be a lot more in prison if they wanted to do their actual job.

Wiki says

The roofing structure was designed to be visually attractive, and incorporates translucent polycarbonate to allow sunlight to illuminate the walkways

The source leads to a book that I don't have, though. Would love to see more angles

You can still do the voting and the sorting without actually showing it publicly. This would make discussions a lot more genuine

Firefox mobile downloads it first, then you have to tap "open".
