So?, I’d still like the less important stuff to be open on the side rather than hidden in a menu button that drops over the content. Think detailed info, filters, related.
Take a look at a newspaper, do you see bars of nothing on the left and right of the page? No.
Yeah but websites aren’t newspapers and don’t have the limitation of literal limited physical space.
Last time I looked at a newspaper up close was 2006 when I was like 8, and most of the content was ad space that distracted from the text which was condensed and often centered, or if it was a front page often in multiple columns to save on the limited physical space. Remove the ads and you’d have white space. Just like on the internet.
Now imagine if website were built to use the space in between the center wrapper with on the left a highly configurable filter or navigation list and on the right a gallery of related games, so that the main content could be used only for the important stuff.
Imagine not needing a 4K display just to keep ui design’s padding to a reasonable level

Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
Human eyes can see vertically only, so centered text is the best, same as centered content
What does “vertically only so centered” mean?
Missed a comma. It’s meant to be “vertically only, so centered…”. What I get for typing comments in a rush haha

And it sucked, I prefer the modern design.
