  • Time Commanders - a British show from quite a few years ago where they had a group of 4 people play Rome: Total War against the AI to reenact a historic battle. With two of the contestants acting as generals and the other two “control” the army - by talking to a guy on a computer playing the game.

    I think they deliberately avoided contestants who were somewhat familiar with the game but it just sounds super fun and they had an awesome screen-table with an overview of the battle. They should make a revival with a current game and just have experienced players act as generals to fight against each other with some of their friends acting as lieutenants.





  • Originally up- and down votes were intended to crowd source filtering and rating content in a community. So voting up for things you want to see more of and vote down spam or content that is unfit for the community. But people will tend to upvote things they agree with and downvote those they deem wrong - I also find myself doing something like that. I now try to follow these rules:

    • Upvote things I like (or agree with)
    • Don’t vote on things I don’t agree with or think are dumb
    • Downvote things that I feel really don’t belong here.

    It helps that lemmy currently shows the number of up and down votes instead of just the score, it gives a bit more inhibition before downvoting stuff.
