I’m always wishing there was more interaction and discussion on the niche Lemmy groups. Today I got to wondering if there were some games we could focus on to help foster our small community. But what is everyone playing or interested in playing? Are we all off playing our own obscure indie favorites or are there some games we share?

Last Epoch, an indie ARPG similar to Diablo or Path of Exile. I have about 450 hours in it (since the early access phase) but hadn’t played it for over a year. Now that I’m boycotting Microsoft/Xbox I recently jumped back in and have been enjoying the impressive amount of stuff that’s been added post-launch.
I play this kind of game “casually”, by which I mean I don’t look up build guides. To me the most fun part of the game is developing a good enough understanding of the mechanics to be able to find success building whatever type of character it is that I want to play. For someone with this type of approach I think LE is great and very flexible! It’s the only game I’ve reviewed on Steam and years later I still recommend it!
I’ve been thinking about finding a Diablo alternative. D4 just feels kind of samey and uninspired, even if they managed to bring the art style back to its roots. Going to look this up! I enjoy doing these things blind too, and figuring it all out on my own, at least for the first playthrough.
Kingdom come deliverance 2,while I wait on vintage story mods to update
Recently, Baldur’s gate 3, off world trading company, old school Runescape, timberborn. I’m missing some recent but j forgot it so meh.
Space Station 14! It’s so goofy! I love the idea of a large scale semi cooperative roleplaying experience.
That looks pretty nuts - how many people can be in the station at once?
Different servers have different caps but it’s usually like more than 50.
My wife’s not a gamer, but I showed her some Telltale games and she loved them. We just finished playing all 4 Walking Dead games and had z great time. We’re playing Michonne now, then The Wolf Among Us.
Noita. Simple and clever.
And Rimworld.
Most games I’ll play and it’ll be one and done for me, never pick them up again. But I always go back to Noita. Something about it still feels so mysterious. Even though I feel like I have the gist by now there are so many possibilities and things I’m sure I still haven’t uncovered. Such a gem that deserves more attention.
Graveyard Keeper. It’s kinda like Stardew Valley but you maintain a graveyard, give sermons, enbalm bodies, make alchemy potions, raise the dead to perform menial, tasks, and grow crops!
My only complaint is that there’s so many recipes and different stuff to do I need to have a couple tabs of the wiki open.
Macabre Stardew Valley is the game I didn’t know I was looking for. Thanks!
I like to mix things up, so I’m replaying Wolfenstein New Colossus on death incarnate difficulty, and sprinkling in Steve’s Warehouse, Balatro and Hades for shorter sessions.
I’m waiting for a good sale to pick up Indiana Jones and will probably get Borderlands 4 sometime soon so hubs and I can play it together. I’m also considering a new playthrough of Cult of the Lamb now that the expansion has been announced.
i need a computer with s graphs card :(
How much money you got for computer? But also, there’s plenty of games that don’t need a card.
I won’t buy anything while I’m unemployed with no budget it’s against my horticulture
Gone back to working on Monster Hunter Rise with my son.
You should check out !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works, I do a post like this every week and it tends to get decent interaction every time.
Nice, just subscribed!
I finally started playing Stardew Valley more than 15 minutes in the dungeon every once in a blue moon and questioning why the fuck I never actually played it before in all this time (I have had it since first available on Steam). It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in this kind of game since playing the first Harvest Moon.
Plus it has a mod that makes everyone furry. :3
I’m very deep into a full Rimworld playthrough with the new DLC. Being able to build a grav ship and hop around the world has opened it up so much that I’ll probably be on this for a while yet.
Obligatory weird Rimworld storytime: I’m currently super invested in this one character who was a dirt mole kid that some colony guests just left behind. We took her in because why not, and she turned out to be a pretty good melee scrapper with a penchant for losing body parts. No worries, we have bionics, we can rebuild her. So a bionic eye, an arm and a couple of new legs later, she gets her nose shot off by a turret. At the same moment some vampires arrive and want to have a meeting in our spaceship, and offer to make someone a vampire in return. So now I’m pretty sure immortal noseless cyborg vampire girl is going to end up leading the whole colony but I really want to see where this goes. The current leader is the last OG colonist still alive, but she’s currently ruling from hospital because a lancer blew the spine right out of her body so her effectiveness is limited until I can source a new spine.
I think the update that came with the expansion changed body part damage. I’ve got 3 pawns in storage without stomachs. Every social fight seems to cost me a nose.
I’ve been playing No Man’s Sky lately. They just put out an update that let’s you build a spaceship that also functions as a base. I’m only just now getting into the game and it came at a perfect time for me because I’m just now getting the point that I need a house to store stuff and I haven’t found a planet that I love. Now I don’t have to because I can live in a ship built just for me!
Just me and my antlered ewok exploring the black.
Me too! Just picked it up again this week after a five year hiatus. I started a new game and I’m at the part where I have to build a base, but I can’t build a ship yet, I think. How did you get around that?
So you can buy a handful of the parts at any of the stations for big numbers, but I managed to make my ship by hunting down the golden buried tech. You get o one part for each module you have to break to mine them so you get a minimum of 3 and the loot it normally has which you can then flip for more parts.
Just to specify, that’s the yellow wifi signal when you’re using your visor. The ordinary and silver ones just give you the usual.
Thanks, I’ll definitely try to mine for the parts then since I’m still completely broke
I found a planet the other day that was tiny and dangerous but had like 4 gold dig sites in every direction. I maxed out my ship limit there so if you can find that I’d you’ll make both the money and the parts
