I bounced off from it when trying it on release. For some reason I had a lot of stuttering and it made the game feel nauseating, but I liked the gameplay. Not sure if that was a problem at release or my hardware has some issues. Other games seems to be ok, and my gpu is definitely not that bad.

Did you also play the expansion echoes of the eye?
I'm doing that right now, didn't find any difference yet, but I'm replaying through the game for the first time since a few years.

Recently replaying Dungeons of Dredmor (2011) - A fun and silly casual roguelike dungeoncrawler (www.youtube.com)

The main theme somehow popped into my head recently and I retried the game.

This time, I tried an geologist with egyptian magic, fighting unarmed. (other favorites are the werediggle curse, Mathemagic and necronomiconomics. )
It's been a while since I last played and I don't think I ever got far.

I also discovered a bunch of new things which I've never seen on my playthroughs before (new updates, or maybe just bad luck in the past) Pocket dimensions and Secret wizard dimensions that can only be accessed by finding their names (and remembering them!)

Everything feels silly like drinking beer to restore mana, using an ingot press to make omelettes from diggle eggs, drinking from fountains with mystery liquids, vandalising statues of the dungeon lord to level up.

But at the same time it's very easy to adjust the game to suit your taste.
The difficulty level is adjustable, Permadeath is an option, plus there is an option for slower floors with the same amount of experience (to reduce grinding if you have less time to play) + Modding support.

Overall a great small title that I enjoyed playing again after so many years.

This may be a stupid question, but how do you decide in what community to ask questions? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Wow thanks, that's great!

I'd be happy to post any questions I have there. I tend to be online very infrequently though, so it might not be that helpful.

ok, that makes more sense.
So basically just copy the post content in a new post to the other community.

The only disadvantage I can think of is that piefed is supposed to combine the comments of cross-posts to other communities right? Does that feature also only work with link posts?

Thanks, would be nice to see this in the future.
So for now, should I just copy the link of my post and post it as a link post to other communities? Will that cross-post correctly?

That's a good idea, I'll try that!

This would be helpful, but so it's not possible if it's a discussion post? I don't see this button on this post for example.

How to crosspost? Just make a link post and paste the link to the other post?

So asking what headphones to buy for my budget is better for the specific community, but asking what meditation techniques have you found helpful and why is ok for AskLemmy?

Thank you, that's helpful.

I'm very bad at remembering all the communities though.
Even though I used reddit before and knew AskReddit, I didn't think about AskLemmy at all.

So AskLemmy is ok for any kind of question?

I want to try asking more questions online since it has become so difficult to find things with search engines.

But I don't really know where to post my questions?
How do you decide what community to post to?

For example:
I have a question about meditation.
This looks pretty straightforward, I search for 'meditation' under all communities.
I find 2 communities called Meditation. (I can find more if I search on another lemmy instance, but they don't seem to show up on my current instance)
Both of them look rather inactive.

Do I just post to both of them? Is it possible to post to multiple communities simultaneously?
Should I look for other communities, what to search for?
