Basically, title
Hey, mod here. Guilty as charged, I honestly haven’t played much in months so it’s been hard to come up with good posts. I do read everyone else’s posts though, but not every day. I’ll try to comment more frequently and check in more often too.
As for the monthly games thread, that’s been the other mod, I’ve been patiently waiting for a new post for a while but haven’t seen one from him. I might take over that duty if the most recent post hits 3 months without update.
If there’s anything you’d like from this sub I’d love to hear it!
I really liked the “Essential Games List” on Reddit, maybe we could do something similar? Or maybe best recently patient games? (games that are 1-2 years old)
Basically, I come here for game recommendations, so I’d really like a rotating rec list. Once/year would be plenty for me, since I just throw them on a wishlist and pick them up when I need games to play.
That’s a great idea. I’m definitely going to look into doing that essential games list.
As for the recently patient games, I just made a post about that last night! It seems to be well received.
Hello,
Good to see you are still around!
Never noticed until you asked, but yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen such a thread in ages.
I put Factorio on hold for now, as I’m waiting for the DLC. In the meantime I’m playing Project Zomboid with a few friends.
Mind selling me on the dlc? Never played factorio but I am susceptible to automation games. Currently on minecraft create mod and shapez.
Automation games and never played Factorio???
Screw the DLC (for now), you need to get started with Factorio ASAP. I started with Factorio in 2017 after I mentioned to a coworker that I liked Minecraft with mods that allowed for automation such as Industrialcraft, Buildcraft, and Immersive Engineering. I have played some Create, but when I did I found that it wasn’t mature enough as a mod.The DLC is mostly aimed towards end-game stuff. Whereas the base game is completed once your factory has launched a rocket with a satellite on board, the DLC picks up from there, allowing you to build automated space platforms, visit other planets each with their distinct differences.
Jumping on this to second it and also be shamelessly elitist. Factorio is the automation game. Nothing tops it. You may think other games look more beautiful, exciting, or engaging, but they are not. Factorio is also one of the cheaper automation games out there with one of the best developers in the industry. Definitely give it a go!
Shouldn’t we just keep waiting patiently?
This is a trial of our faith. Our patience will truly be tested.
Still playing Skyrim. Can’t seem to put it down.
I’ve modded it a bit and started over. I’m picking up more hidden details that I missed the first time, and I’m abusing some game mechanics to be all powerful. Muhahah!
I’ve recently become addicted to realm of the mad god
theyre just being extra patient
This is probably one of the more active communities I’m in, actually. Lemmy’s just not that big, I guess? And that’s fine with me. I don’t need an endless scroll of posts daily. I catch up on my subscribed pages within 20 minutes each day. But if someone wants to encourage more conversation I’m all for it.
As for what I’m playing this month, I just got a used Steam Deck and that’s dramatically opened up opportunities for me to play through my PC games that I haven’t gotten around to. Started Psychonauts 2 and I’m pretty impressed with how little Double Fine had to change since 2005. It feels like 20 years just never happened and it’s so far a very natural progression of the first game. Having a great time with it.
My kids discovered stardew valley now I’m hooked again. Sweet, fun, addictive gameplay
Same, started playing with a friend and now I’m back on the Stardew grind in singleplayer too. Doing a challenge run where I try to complete the community center without ever buying from Pierre (except for the backpack upgrades) or Joja, and without ever going in the mines. The real blocker on this is quartz. My only route to obtain it is fiddling in peoples’ trash and it is a rare drop.
No mines is going to be a real challenge alright. So7nds fun
Forza Horizon 5. Just got all I could for the Retrowave event. Couldn’t get the DeLorean or the F50, but I do have an extra F40 now and the GMC Syclone. Kinda missed some of the events due to working on other things.
Also the Hyundai N Vision 74 is a meh EV. No way to gear it for more top speed, and the Porsche Taycan is way better.
Not that much when the weather is great motorcycle riding weather, but I’ve just gotten to level 16 in Palworld and beat the first 3 boss fights.
Started a Professor Oaks Challenge in Red. I’m still not out of the grind in Viridian Forest. So much grinding.
For those who don’t know, the challenge is to catch, and evolve, every possible pokemon line before each gym leader. Doing this in an OG game is pretty painful, and slow at the start.
Kinda have Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous burning in the back of my mind, though. That new DLC. Kinda wanna roll up a Bladebound Magus. Kinda getting tired of running in a straight line repeatedly.
Does that include buying magickarp for extra pain? Hopefully you are using an emulator so it at least loves faster.
Yeah, I’m planning on pretty much grabbing one of the high levels I’ll have and just switch training Magi on the trainers in Mt. Moon before doing the Cerulean Catch-and-Grind, and having to add Abra into the mix for a bit.
Oh yeah, emulator with FF on with PKHex at my side to make some things a bit more gentle, but manually grinding, catching, and including Trades since I can just fake it and have a “legal” one.
I’ve been playing QuakeWorld for a few months, and I started playing EverQuest on Project Quarm. Been kinda wild playing EQ to see how the MMO genre has evolved over time. Only level like 8 or 9, but it’s been fun.
I was playing AC Valhalla and Jedi Survivor, but then my game pass expired and I didn’t like the games enough to renew it. So now I’m back to Red Dead Redemption 2.
Looks like it’s on you now.
Finishing up AC: Brotherhood and looking for some cool indies. I’ve got a few in my library, but I’m open to trying something new.
The news of KSP 2’s death has got me playing KSP [1] for the first time in years. It’s still abyssmally optimised, but nonetheless fun as ever!
