I have one request. If you could do a pinned thread that indexes into all the individual games (not Let's Plays, but the main thread) that would be lovely, because search doesn't work all that well. I know I'm volunteering you to do a lot of extra work.

I mostly have posting anxiety about asking a question and being told, “That was posted and answered on page 369. Read the thread!” And I’m not going to sift through 1000 pages for a game before posting, so I just end up not posting at all.

Yes I have brain worms.

It probably depends on the thread; in the threads I frequent (mostly management games: Rimworld, ONI, that sort of thing) everybody's consistently been patient and friendly with noob questions. No gatekeeping that I've seen.

I'd like it if the Rimworld OP had a link to up-to-date primers. It could be at the bottom, under a boldface header.

I would love a way to find games similar to X. (ie: I play Apex Legends and Destiny 2. What other games in that vein might I like?)

Actually, this would be a cromulent thread.

I have often started a game, gone into into its ancient megathread, read the OP, and then had the residents happily explain the game to me. Hell, the Rimworld thread answers "What are the best mods?" every drat day with good humor. The point of a megathread is the people, not the thread size. It doesn't matter that there are 500 pages I'll never read; it matters that the people on page 501 will explain, and maybe even be updating the OP.

Actually, while we're on the topic: are there threads you all think might need a thread IK? Console threads? Any game threads that don't already (I know Destiny does)? There are some big, active threads that none of the mods seem to read on our own very often so maybe some thread IKs might help keep those running a little cooler.

#MeToo hits gaming: I just wanted to shoot poo poo." PLEASE. It keeps being overrun by people minimizing abusers.
