    I legitimately don’t know what Roblox is except supposedly a game… yet between kids yeeting thousands of dollars into it, becoming an obsessive black hole to them, and a place for predators I can’t help but to ask what kind of nightmare dystopia is it?

      It’s basically a social platform + mod making platform + discord wrapped into 1 game, people have remade games like call of duty in roblox.

        … ugh… that sounds tedius.

        I’m showing becoming an old man that I’m over here like “My favorite MMO allows me to play it solo and I’m here for the story.” Trying to shove everything else together sounds awful.

        It reminds me of my teenage years of poking my head in secondlife.

        like it’s possible yes, but ppl act like that means it is a great game engine that everyone should use, sure it’s possible, but it’s likely not any easier than using unity/unreal engine, s@box hopefully will take some of their base since you can eventually publish your own games without any fees.
