I do know about shmups and probably should have made that exclusion in the post body, I will go do that. But I input “shooter” into the community search and got flat nothing. No FPS or anything, and given how popular those are I’m very surprised there is not any community for it. Not great with any more specific examples because I don’t really play shooters myself.

You’re probably right, but most of these do exist already, so I figure not why not continue trying to use them (and to direct attention from this big community there)? Also probably doesn’t help a lot of instances have general games communities. We’re pretty splintered. Now that I think about it I should probably crosspost to some of the bigger ones.

So pleased to have seen this on my feed. Loved doing mazes as a kid.

(Also you might want to look at !lifesimulation@lemmy.world)

I saw this on the Steam deal of the day, was going to post it, and saw you got here 7 months earlier 😂😭

yo please crosspost to !automationgames@lemmy.zip

alien worlds teeming with (edible) life

Back when I was on Reddit, I was a big !hfy@lemmy.world fan (Humanity Fuck Yeah, usually sci-fi subverting “humans are the boring generic ones”) and I remember a HWTF one about us eating other sapient aliens, my brain immediately went there after seeing that. Although that’s probably not what they meant.

I suggest cross posting to !lifesimulation@lemmy.world since that was a mentioned genre in the Steam description, maybe with a title emphasizing those aspects a bit more

Nice meme post, breaks up all the game link posts

I’m always surprised these posts go to general gaming communities but nobody thinks to post to !baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world

Sometimes I crosspost myself and sometimes I make some comment like this hoping OP will do it because it feels somehow like I’m “stealing credit” even though it’s just a link post and not some original textpost. This time I took a third option and just straight up asked how they felt about the new subclasses

While we’re here, !crpg@lemmy.world definitely could use some love (and by love I mean posters).

A link to that post you are talking about

Hey, thanks for your effort again!!

Looked into Metro, completely disinterested, but . I always figure if my tastes do a 180 or a friend wants to play some games (it is pretty likely our tastes will not be identical) it never hurts to have.

I guess we’re total opposites, I usually avoid physicals because I know myself. I want to keep things nice and pretty and pristine, I’ll never subscribe to “the flaw/crease/spillage adds to its charm!”, and I know I am too clumsy to actually keep it as nice as I’d like. Less objects to clean, to lose, to cry over when they inevitably get messed up.

At least from what I am aware of Mitchell cheated. I never heard of the suicide thing. If the lawsuit was really just over suicide and not over the cheating claims, I wonder why his records got reinstated after this. But hey, I’m quite out of the loop and my comment would probably be a good example in court of reputational damage, as a random who does not really follow these records but might click a video on them someday or read something and come away thinking something about a person.

Have been playing Antimatter Dimensions, an !incremental_games@incremental.social, and various Steam demos to see if I’ll like the game or not.

Would also work for a smaller scale thing. A village builder, maybe. Manage interpersonal relationships between people, try to put people where they are most effective but also least miserable (being good at something often correlates with enjoying it but not always, and interpersonal conflict can make what would otherwise be a happy experience unhappy), watch drama unfold… I have always liked playing with numbers and the like, but I want to see more systemic-instead-of-prescripted takes on social interactions in video games. Think more The Sims on autopilot/free will, less exact prescripted storylines (not that prescripted storylines are bad, I still like a good story or !visualnovels@ani.social!) Trying to build up an economy and decide how you want that economy run also sounds fun.

Probably. You did say NSFW though, and I couldn’t figure how to work that angle in otherwise. Just a standard city builder, plus narrative, but now everyone is nude?

“There are only a few people left on Earth, rebuild and repopulate!” with probably lots of dramatic focus on whatever killed the population, and closeups for the process of repopulation?

Magic? Check. School sim? Check. Management game? Check. Probably villain protagonist? Check. Unusual perspective (not so often you play as a professor/teacher)? Check. Definitely have to check this out, it’s pushing like all my buttons.

Also a lot of the reviews call it cozy for some reason. That is yet another button of mine to push, especially if it still has good gameplay.

Heya! Glad to see this Lemmy community is making its way over to Mastodon.

Your comments made me curious what our threshold for “too new” is, my first guess being 5 years. (Thanks XKCD.)

It’s actually

catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game

according to our sidebar. But you pose a good question if Early Access release counts as release, especially if it’s been in EA for this long.
