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?
Comment below and upvote the ones that you have in common!
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.
Noita. Simple and clever.
And Rimworld.
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!
Shadowrun for sega genesis
Can’t stay away from Spelunky…
Gone back to working on Monster Hunter Rise with my son.
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
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!
Currently Vintage Story, BallisticNG and Deadlock. No one game is currently holding a monopoly on my attention. All very good games, but it does feel a bit like I’m just in a holding pattern waiting for Silksong. It was easier to wait without an official release date xD
The Finals - always
Slay the Spire
Coral Island
Very different vibes, all bangers
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’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
Recently picked up Enshrouded and giving that a go. Thinking of checking out the new update to No Man’s Sky but haven’t redownloaded it yet.
I was worried the first hour or two of Enshrouded I wouldn’t like it, felt very similar to Ark and Grounded, which I wasn’t much of a fan of due to the progression of those games moving at a snails pace and being brutalized by most enemies early on. But I’m happy to say I haven’t felt the same disappointment from Enshrouded, sitting around 10-ish hours in. My character looks like a hobo dressed in whatever trash they could find hitting enemies with a crooked stick, but the combat feels pretty fun (instead of brutal) and there’s interesting loot all over to keep the carrot and stick centers of my brain engaged. “Oh look, a slightly more interesting crooked stick!”
I like it so far.
I’ve got that on my list with my group! Do you think we’ll like it if we liked 7 Days to Die and Valheim? Would love something in that style but still a little different than either of those.
Infra. You play as a structural analyst sent in to document damages on infrastructure that was being neglected due to a corrupt governor.
Technically a walking sim, but plenty of puzzles to solve and “mazes” to navigate. The game offers no minimap or objective list. No HUD whatsoever. It’s just you and one action button.
Each area is exquisitely detailed for being a 9-year-old game and visually holds up better than I expected. If you ever wanted to know what it was like to explore abandoned infrastructure, this one’s for you.
I tried it a while back and struggled to get into it. I wondered since if it was just not the right time though bc it looks so much like my kind of game. Might be worth dusting it off again to give it another go.
INFRA is fantastic!!
Once you’re done, check out the dev’s next game that takes place in the same universe, Obenseuer: https://store.steampowered.com/app/951240/Obenseuer/
It’s one of my favorite games ever.
Huh glad I posted here, never heard of Infra before. Sounds like something I’ve been after for a while. I don’t have a problem with violence in video games but I do wish there were more great games that weren’t based around it.
The concept of Infra sounds really chill. My seldom-gaming partner might even be interested in joining me on the journey.
It’s a great game. The story starts out relatively chill, but as you explore and start to uncover things it gets really intriguing.
The devs are working on another game that takes place in the same universe called Obenseuer. It’s sincerely one of my favorite games. I get absorbed by it while playing because it’s one of the most unique vibes in any game I’ve played. For me, it’s got this melancholic, depressing atmosphere, but is simultaneously funny, quirky, and, somehow, cozy.
