List more in the comments! I’ll add them if they are a community for a video game genre, and have had at least one post in the last month. Crossposted to !communitypromo here....
Hey, just clicked on something in this series of posts for the first time. Genuinely, thanks for your effort in writing it. I usually see link posts, and I have missed big original writeups like this. We need more people like you on Lemmy.
Re: slowdown, I use Lemmy exclusively via browser and it’s a very smooth experience for me ;)
]ANYWAY, to the point, I really enjoyed this video from Fastminer07 on YouTube, it was clear and reiterates how important this is. Worth a look if you’re searching for interseting videos for your down-time](www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Ih__mE05c)
Might want to turn that first bracket to be an opening bracket so the link works.
I’m not a perfect being so I use Steam out of convenience instead of GOG, though I do have a GOG account. I am pleased to see good news from them and that they are maintaining a good library of games. It is nice to see the option that I think people choose in an effort to be anti-DRM and to support games preservation doing well.
I should probably look into the Switch emulator thing more, sounds ripe for an original !hobbydrama post.
politicsI guarantee Musk chose DOGE as the name to seem like some cutting edge internet maverick making a throwback to the meme, but it just… It doesn’t feel appropriately playful, like the actual CAN-SPAM act from the US government before he came around. It feels incredibly illegitimate, “stop trying to be cool,” and that’s putting aside any personal political beliefs I have about how it actually is an illegitimate department. I’m not sure why that got included in a gaming news post, though, to be honest politics is stressful. I do keep up to date, but having it show up in a gaming newsletter when it is not directly connected to gaming, even in what seems to be an agreement with my views, does not feel awesome. And no, it’s not an “ew politics” because it does not affect me, I stand to be very affected. I just have to be incredibly disciplined about my intake of political content to not be constantly stressed and dooming and scrolling nowadays, especially given how I stand to be affected, and reminders outside of Politics Time make me unhappy. Of course, it is your post in the end and you provided a lot of wonderful content :P I usually just make basic link or image posts or ask simple questions, I’m no creator.
Recently picked up shapez.io again, part of the !automationgames genre. Just started that community. Also currently playing !infinitynikki (which at least one person on Lemmy mistook for a waifubait anime gacha game with straight male gaze fanservice going off the community icon, which I think earned it a bunch of downvotes when promoted in !newcommunities. When to be honest, it is the opposite: still an open world gacha game, but marketed at women. No romance featured, no sexualized fanservice, but a lot of pretty outfits to dress up in with nice hair and dress physics), !pokemon, and Antimatter Dimensions which is in the !incremental_games genre. I have several !otomegames that I kind of just stopped midway through even though they were enjoyable; likewise with the !crpg Dragon Age: Origins. I enjoy the above listed genres and games, as well as !citybuilders, !tycoon or management games, and !lifesimulation games. There are other games I enjoy too but this is sort of turning into my subscribed communities list, and I’m not currently playing them right now 😅 I game on Linux (PC only, not in the market for a console, however Steam trying to sell the Steam Deck and then doing the whole Proton thing to try to make more games compatible with their Linux-based console means that suddenly a lot more games are playable on Linux so I’m grateful for that), iOS, and MacOS. Lutris has been very helpful for finding different emulators on Linux.
For transparency, I mod !automationgames and !otomegames but not the rest, and I want to help the other Fediverse communities I listed grow. I like those genres but am not super knowledgeable about any of them and like seeing recommendations and discussion about them.
I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I’m thinking of getting Baldur’s Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game! https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/ecf5697b-192e-4bcf-87ce-7f1dfec76993.png
Bustafellows (95% sale). I have a huge backlog of !otomegames to play, and Bustafellows is not on it. But it was also like $2 so… worst comes to worst, I play the game some day, hate it, and my purchase serves to signal “hey, English-speaking ladies who do not live in Japan also like otome games, localizing them is a good business choice”. Which means more otome for me! I have heard of so many Japan-only games that sound so cool but also I cannot play them because I won’t understand a damn thing the characters say, and they are usually super story-based.
The Magic Circle. I forget what recommendation list I saw it on to be honest, but it still seems to hold up as something I would like and think is cool.
I like !tycoon games, so I was going to grab Parkitect, saw it in a bundle with more tycoon games, grabbed the bundle to also collect Project Hospital and Game Dev Tycoon. (I already had Parkasaurus.)
I also like automation games. I think its community might be on a dead instance… maybe I’ll make a new one. Finally grabbed myself Factorio (will never be on sale) along with Satisfactory (finally out of Early Access. I will never buy an EA game, I will always wait for it to exit EA).
Finally, Sun Haven. Stardew Valley fan, from what I have seen of SH it seems like something I’d like, and price dropped.
Aside from Factorio, everything I grabbed was on sale. Aside from Satisfactory, all the sales were 50% or more.
I’m really frustrated with how almost every new game these days is being forced into this “live service” model. It seems like no matter what type of game you want to play—whether it’s an RPG, shooter, or even something traditionally single-player—you’re stuck with always-online requirements. And for what? It adds...
