On further thought, adding a couple words to the already kinda long question wasn't too much. I adjusted it to better ask what I had in mind, which was what invented words would you make and have instantly adopted.

That's what I was thinking might be the case for players, alongside the fun/new factors Jordan mentions. Thanks for the reply!

You might try cross-posting to !ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev for more advice.

Could be (at least fediverse style), but not sure who/what to follow or how to filter out what I mentioned.

Non-commercial is harder to nail down, but by and large I mean not-for-profit, sort of casual hobbyist activity with zero interest in trying to turn it into a business/side-hustle. People discussing/sharing their original stuff simply for its own sake.

You're after this format:

!avpd@sh.itjust.works

Would you investigate it for wondrous secrets first?

sometimes, but...why?

If I understand @xmunk@sh.itjust.works's comment elsewhere in this thread properly, I think that's what a pause interrogative may be. I also agree with them that it (and the interrogative start) does better fit some ways of speaking.

Older? Check.
Free? Check.
Software/game? Check.

Checks out in my book!
