Well, saying goodbye at least seems polite, and many people are able to maintain a healthy relationship even after breaking up.

Unless a specific research or scientific discovery is going to be immediately accessible to the public, this won't make a dent to our quality of life.
What would improve the life of the majority is the proletariat dismantling the system of the elite (capitalism).

I think people glaze the Ezio trilogy to an unreasonable degree just to shit on the modern AC slop, but at least the funny conspiracy theories in those games held up somewhat. Like the Templars inventing capitalism or the evil Abstergo Corp. owning Ubisoft.

Hopefully healthy relationships with unrequited past romantic interests (who are now good friends or at least are on good terms) count too...?
(I never had a proper actual relationship welp (no first kiss either, virginity is still intact too of course, oof), I know a few of said past interests have good relationships of their own now, I hope they're all doing well.)
Metalballrun's also technically describing populism...
I've seen too many peeps on Reddit mentioning Prohibition failing, there's also still the ongoing drug wars too, but you should consider that other parts of the world have seen success in it (like Singapore imposing the death penalty or life imprisonment on recreational drug smugglers and recreational drug sellers)... then again, welp organised crime finding avenues in most parts of the world when dealing with illicit harmful substances/stuff + world being screwed up to the point more and more people turn to said substances for relief/reprieve instead of finding healthier alternatives (though at least more and more people should now also be aware of what is beneficial and what is detrimental to health)...
And speaking of ideologies, I could recommend the 8values quiz if you all are interested in finding out which ideology you're most aligned with
Then again, we can also discuss other societal stuff too...

That's actually a bad word to use for describing pretty much anything, because it changes its meaning depending on what side are you talking about and how much you approve of that. I've seen a person been accused of being a populist meaning something not cool like doing stuff just to get votes, and the same person being called populist meaning something cool because he helped individuals. There are some philosophy, history and sociology materials discussing that

Why do you feel you should get treated equally on this?? I am so confused you are basically grandfathered in as a meduim we scale. The "lore" of these "games" is less indepth or unquie then some minecraft mods. The fact we let it on site is embrassing and they should have all been removed a long time ago. Its an acutal shame we scale such low quailty slop but deny other stuff. These are barely a step above me submitting some random unity slop game i find on itch.io. It does not belong on the main wiki. I think people have given up on that crusade cause all of the roblox suppoters are so disingenuous with scaling and annoying that is legit not worth interacting with.
this is besides my main point but if yall think you are doing a good job on scaling these "verses" yall need to have some real interospection yall get away with murder its crazy how poorly done basically every single roblox verse is. Dont act like yall are getting treated misfairly when NO IT SHOULDNT BE ON THE SITE and yall just wank game mechs to the moon. I do not respect the verses and I do not respect the work yall have done on it. We should 100% exile yall to fc/oc or alt battle wiki or wherever SCP is now, which while I dont think it should be on site either makes a hell of lot more sense then this embrassment. Better I keep ignoring yalls verse and not take a more indepth look if you want to keep it as poorly as scaled as it currently is.

I'd definitely want to talk more about these topics in particular cause I literally did my bachelor's degree on sociology and psychology and studied history quite often from primary school to junior college/pre-university.
Philosophy I read about quite often too but mostly outside of the academic context.

The solution is obvious. Make Nullscape the only Roblox verse allowed on the site because it's the only good game left on that dogshit platform.

Lowkey the type of gobbledygook
Most of the frontpage slop focuses on gameplay rather than lore. This becomes apparent when you understand what Roblox's primary userbase is, which I will describe below:
You're right.... so we should submit our favorite NICHE INDIE GAMES instead! Like JOHN CLOWDER'S WORKS (4 CCU)! And KHIMERA: DESTROY ALL MONSTER GIRLS (99 CCU at its peak).
Mobile games are a more apt comparison for Roblox's front page game quality. A good chunk of Roblox's playerbase are mobile players, and mobile players are almost always going to be little kids on their parent's tablets. By nature of this, the most optimal way to cash in on this (as opposed to "make a meaningful experience") is to make mobile game-esque slop. This has been well-documented, this is why many front-page games do not have much apparent lore nor' settings; it is a waste of time to develop thought-provoking dialogue when your playerbase does not give a damn about reading text.
You are thinking of "Steal a Brainrot" Roblox in your post when you are describing the quality of the slop, not "Flappy Men" Roblox or "Zeppelin Wars" Roblox. Starving artists are going to be overshadowed by the breadwinners. The breadwinners are going to have their game featured on the front page because it is advantageous for the Roblox corporation to feature absolute dookie fartwater sewer sludge on the front page because alllllll of the little piggies wiggle their toes in excitement and gobble it up, which makes Roblox millions of dollars in revenue. Even with that in mind, some of the front page games like Jailbreak or Blast Zone are pretty decent for what they are, idk why those would get lumped up in the "low-quality slop" category LOLLLLLLL.
Plenty of random RPG Maker Games are more comparable to the random itch.io slop you are alluding to; the game engine is easy to use (easier than Roblox) & there's a billion profiles for them on the wiki. I don't think anyone here would know about Mad Father or Ib is if PewDiePie and Markiplier never graced them with their presence. These would be droplets in the ebb & floe of time not unlike those itch.io games.
John Clowder's works are literally this; the VSbattles wiki unironically had more documentation about Middens than the game's actual wiki for the longest time, thanks to ArbitraryNumbers' work on the verse's profiles.
Deepwoken, on the other hand, has an unofficial "character planner" website complete with a 3D render of what your character will look like. The community made this for xheir favorite randomitchiounityslopesque game with no incentive from the devs btw.
ULTRAKILL powerscalers will literally compare ingame missile projectiles to a giant punching and get 7-C to High 7-C for like an 8-B to 8-A feat, Deltarune literally has Tenna at 8-A for clapping his ******* hands faster than some electricity-looking projectiles. I used to wank my profiles just as badly as these people do now, Fantastic Frontier's characters were at City Block level because the knights in that game could swing their swords faster than electricity projectiles from a spellbook. Steve from Minecraft is 7-C because of the Ender Dragon running into diamonds and them disappearing with no apparent visual effects (PULVERIZEEDDDDDDDD OMGGGGG).
The player character from Elemental Battlegrounds is 7-C because the meteors they attack with are stated to be "overhead meteors", as in they're using their geokinesis to pull meteors from space to drop onto their enemies, and meteors would genuinely be that powerful if they fell into Earth's atmosphere without somehow breaking apart mid-fall. Do I think it's a bit silly they're 7-C without crazy showings of Environmental Destruction? Yeah, I do, and I would not mind them being lower either; I like it when there are more matchups to use for a character, and there's other feats to scale and decorate the profile with. This is an issue shared by most VSBattles profiles, not just 'blox verses.
Most of the garbage scaling you see in some the Roblox profiles is probably because they were not made by me. Barring this, PRESSURE's profiles seem pretty good for what they're worth, John Grace's profile seems well-made. John Fartattack's profile has a calc to its name and I was going to calculate every single ability he has at one point to play into the "high-effort profile for a dogwater game" joke, but I am too lazy.
I could scale John Fartattack's attacks to a shockwave or electrical attacks that are seen in game and get the vastly inflated results that you see in ULTRAKILL and some of Deltarune's characters. I did rough calcs on this; that would get John Fartattack to Large Town Level+ using the same reasoning those verses do for putting V1 at "Town level", or Tenna at "Multi City Block level". The precedent set by those two verses would probably allow it, but I'm not going to because that is the sort of stuff that makes people laugh at VSBattles wiki.
Most of the annoyingness in versus threads was because of Arkansalter acting like a particularly silly individual in every thread he's been. I don't personally hate the guy, he's just a little inexperienced. Ask Kachon about it
The only profile that felt like getting away with murder was John Fartattack. I intend on making profiles for the protagonist of Tongue Battles and Human Burrito. John Human Burrito would devour your GOAT in a single bite btw.
The only example I can think of is maybe Block Tales because it bases itself on the Roblox IP and can't exist with out it; even if you remove the R6/R15 blocky rigs that game has, you still have copyrighted concepts like "Roblox's history", or the Sword Fights on the Heights swords, or the "Noob" characters that exist in-verse that are specifically just Roblox's noobs.
A lot of the verses here can exist without the Roblox IP if you just replace the R6/R15 character rigs; Deepwoken, Arcane Odyssey, Fart Attack. You can replace the blocky character rigs and you end up with the same exact concept. There was a game that made the jump from Roblox to Unity with the same exact characters from the last game, and redesigned to not use the R6/R15 blocky rigs that Roblox lets you use. That game is infinitely better as a standalone experience on the Steam storefront that does not require an internet connection, has polished sprite work, and reworked character designs.
If you want a example of a dookie Roblox --> off-platform engine transition, here you go. What separates a 'blox game from a proper game is soul. I can port a Roblox game to steam and it could be complete cheeks if it's just a 1:1 port of a slop game with no changes. If you pour the same soul you put into that same 'blox game into the Steam version, you can end up introducing a new platform to a 'bloxgem.
Unturned is literally just Deadzone on Steam, and people ate that up. The game's premise is near-identical bar for a bunch of additions that were made well after its release; and all that needed to be done design-wise was to replace the R6/R15 character rigs with something else.

Trust me on this, Deep wont be good as a steam game. Nobody is eating forced Permadeath outside of roblox. If u wanna make Deep work outside of its Niche roblox artstyle, unfortunately you gotta turn it into a gacha game like wuwa (which is basically what if deep would be as a standalone game).

I mean, at least it's an actual destruction feat, unlike the other 3, which just abuse KE rules (also, last I checked, the Ender Dragon DOES produce explosion particles when it rams into stuff, so checkmate Steve haters, there ARE visual effects
)Ok, but in all seriousness, I agree with what you said 100%. There are games on Roblox that do genuinely belong on the wiki, and we can't ban an entire platform just because its front page is mostly slop content or the way they're scaled currently could be better
