Gonna mention that !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com has been set up as an alternative for Europe-centric discussions

Mostly that they host the main Europe-centric comm, !Europe@feddit.org. You can see the problem when criticism of Europe's most powerful country is censored in said comm, and users banned, for relatively innocuous comments.

Good news, in case you're feeling nostalgic, you can relive the experience right here on select lemmy servers.

The author sounds like the kind of player who complains about missing game features, then it turns out they skipped the tutorial.

No, because aphantasia. I love the turns of phrase, though.

They're all hanging around the lake waiting for handouts

Ah, the old usage of wonderful. That threw me for a bit.

Who's casting this on whom? Parent on child, or vice versa? I can certainly see it happening both ways.

No.

At least with hand weaving, people got paid for their work.

You realise your statement could have been made about literally any labour saving invention in human history?

It's perfectly possible for a TCG to be a deckbuilder, I'm sure. Especially video games that get to do all sorts of stuff to break the rules. My comment was directed at classical TCGs like MtG.

Stacklands looks pretty interesting, might give it a whirl

That's reasonably close to what I was thinking, yes.

TCGs are not deckbuilders, at least not as they're commonly understood today. See the other comment thread for the discussion.

More traditional boardgames like dominion aren't rougelites

I was referring to video game deckbuilders. I couldn't think of any, but I've had a few pointed out to me.

My point was, fuck Netflix for their shitty business practices anyway. Ads are bad, AI ads aren't any better or worse.

What the other guy said. I repeat, I'm not actually calling you a shill. I even agree with your point about JF, I'm just pointing out your logic is faulty.

That's based on the assumption that's your only account, though. Not that I'm calling you a shill, just pointing out the obvious flaw in your logic. Any actual shill would have sockpuppets to spread out their comments and hide their history.

Ads are ads, who cares if it's AI generated?

For a peek into the history of the term - https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/693430/magic-the-gathering-and-dominion-which-is-a-deck-b

Apparently the shift was more than well under way by 2011.

Inscryption just defies categorisation, it's a unique everything. But yeah, I wasn't aware of the other non-roguelite deckbuilders. Wonder how they get balanced? What's stopping the player from building a monstrously strong deck?

I'm not sure when or about the original meaning, but in the modern context deckbuilder usually refers to games that let you build or modify your deck during gameplay itself. Dominion invented, or at least massively popularised, the genre in 2008. By the current definition of the genre, there is significant inherent overlap with roguelites. In the boardgame world, games like Frosthaven would be an example of a deckbuilder that's not a roguelite, though the deckbuilder element there is pretty thin. Slay the Spire was probably the first, or at least first successful, computer game deckbuilder that I'm aware of.
