Banished, you can’t get more Indie than just one guy’s passion project.

I don’t know what it is about that game but it really struck a chord with me and I’ve come back to it over and over. It’s my favorite game to play when I’m sick and can’t do anything. It’s relaxing and peaceful and cozy while also being complex and ruthlessly challenging at the same time, so it’s like spinning plates. Seems easy when you get the hang of it but it can all come crashing down if you make a bad enough mistake. It’s spawned some copy cats, and I’ve tried them, but the original just gets me somehow.

Me! They have a decent collection of Switch games and my wife will try out the games she's seen reviews of at the library to see if she wants to add them to her wishlist.

Our library network is rather large so there's often an available copy of whatever we're looking for (unless it's new).

Can’t really add much to all of the great games already mentioned. But I’ll add one, because it was one of the best games I played in recent memory. Chants of Sennaar. Where to even start? Point-and-click adventure/puzzle game that is all about language puzzles. With great visuals and music. Really dig the eurocomics inspired style. I don’t know why, but this game really touched me - maybe it’s because the game is about uniting people in an age of discord.

Just looking though some of my higher playtime games, here’s a few I haven’t seen mentioned: (I think they’re all indie or small studio)

Gunfire Reborn - Roguelike fps with infinite replay.

Troubleshooter Abandoned Children - XCOM style battle system with a really really fun way to customize how your character fight. Story is pretty lame though (I ended up skipping it) and it’s pretty grindy.

Thronefall - Pretty challenging base defence.

The last spell - Turn based base defence with lots of different ways to build your characters.

Ratropolis - Roguelike real-time card strategy base defence. Pretty good, although not well balanced at highest difficulties.

Dota.

Ok, I know what you’re saying, “But Valve makes Dota2” which, yes, this is true. But the OG game came about from gamers just loving games and making a custom game. I think it’s peak “indie” in it’s origin. Which went off to spawn several clones (League of Legends, Heroes Of Newerth, Heroes Of The Storm, Smite, Pokemon Unite, Paladins, etc.). Dota2 by far has the most hours played of any game.

damdy,

Don’t think I can go back to dota, deadlock is really great though.

Not my actual favorite, but it’s very high on my list, and I didn’t see it posted yet.

I really liked What Remains of Edith Finch.

It was more of an experience and really struck some emotional chords, leaving me write emotional at the end.

Really beautiful and melancholy experience.

AceFuzzLord, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 4th

Just got a legit copy of Dungeon Clawler and installed it on my deck and it’s definitely harder than the old version on my laptop. Also, I save scummed the heck out of Dokopon Kingdom on Dolphin over the weekend, until the point the CPU turned evil and finally caught up to me and caused my first death.

I have also been enjoying Sonic Lost Worlds on 3DS (first playthrough), while also having tried a couple levels on PC and I don’t know whether it’s my PC or what, but it’s pretty much the only game I could recommend the console version over the PC version despite absolutely HATING the special stages because of how trash the motion controls and movements are in my opinion.

Gnugit, do gaming w POV: You're a kid and just got a brand new Game Boy Advance game from your grandma. How excited are you?

Are you able to format rom cartridges and turn them into memory cards? Asking for a friend.

WolfLink,
refurbishedrefurbisher,

If you’re asking if you can write arbitrary data to bootleg Gameboy games, the answer is yes.

I’m just not entirely sure what you mean by “memory card”

Gnugit,

I mean, to write mario to it so they can play Mario and have a blast while grandma thinks it’s still the holy bible.

refurbishedrefurbisher,

Only with modern bootlegs. Back then, games were written on mask ROMs, meaning the chips were literally manufactured with the data already written to it. They are non-rewritable.

I like the line of thinking, but I feel like it would be much easier just switching the stickers on the cartridge lol

refurbishedrefurbisher,

Or just swap the shells. All you need is a gamebit screwdriver or a pen and a lighter.

Holocure is amazing! I don’t even watch Vtubers I just looked at the highest rated games on steam and found it. Within the first 3 weeks I put in 100 hours
