On the free speech side, I wouldn't change a thing in how I behave, because I actually think rationally and don't act out in raw emotions. I wouldn't necessarily give people more or less credence if I knew more about them. I rarely get worked up and when I do, it isn't a big deal. I tend to realize that the written word can lead to a lot of confusion amidst people and tone is inferred and always inferred negatively.Exhuminator wrote:Sometimes I wonder how different the internet would be, if every time we made a post anywhere on it no matter the situation, we were allowed zero anonymity. Rather, every time we posted, a photo of our actual face appeared, along with our real name, our age, our actual location, our sexual orientation, our religious affiliation (or lack of), and our political leanings. If we are allowed zero anonymity, how free would our speech continue to flow online? Would we get as worked up if we knew exactly who was saying what? Would we put as much credence into the words of someone if we knew more about them? Would we put more? A non-anonymous internet would be an interesting experience.
I realize that's not much of a random gaming thought though.
I want to play a local co-op same-screen roguelike in the vein of say Shiren the Wanderer.
On the Roguelike question, I don't play many of those, but I did some research and you might want to check out Legend of Dungeon which allows for 4 player local co-op and is on sale for 40% off right now at the humble bundle store.
