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!

    sorry but I have been a dillatant lately while I install the smallest games from the great on steamdeck filter of steam. One funny note was I had hunter stories and found it ultimately relied to much on rng and did not let me build up enough from things just made available. I think they should have had an option to buy normal eggs maybe level gating the type and then left the rng for rare powered up types. Anyway booted that out and just started palworld and wow is that ever the opposite. Does not explain stuff much at all whereas monster hunter stories was basically on rails. eventually I will get to the witcher at which point I likely will have to start deciding what stuff I want to take off if im to get anything larger on it.

    EDITED - ooh. forgot to mention one stand out. nino kuni II revenant kingdom. Im playing each thing a bit and then putting on a new game but nino kuni had this very sorta fast casual fighting style that reminds me a lot of kindom hearts and I had a hard time stopping. Will likely be the game I binge once im good with what I have on the deck.

    I’ve been working through my endless backlog.

    I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is a masterpiece.

    I bought the Sniper Elite Humble Bundle that came with games 1 through 5. I have played through 1 to 4 already. It makes me miss games that can be finished in 20 hours instead of the endless grinds every game expects now. I also miss when Nazis were the evil bad guys.

    I’m also playing through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This one is set in Hawaii which is a coincidence since I’ve also just finished Kitchen Sync: Aloha!, a cooking game set in Hawaii.

    I was playing FF7 rebirth …got about 60 hours in and Im having trouble beating the game. Its just so boring with the sidequests. And the map is insanely big with nothing but a couple of monsters. They definitely padded out the game. Its not a bad game and it has its moments.

    So I started to play Detlarune after my wife got it for me for my Bday. Got through the 1st chapter and im really enjoying it. Im just going to play that now and maybe come back to ff7…if I feel like it.

    I’ve been playing Against the Storm (just reforged the gold seal), 7 days to die, and lately Fields of Mistria. Occasionally I go back to Enshrouded, Palworld and Two Point Museum. And I still haven’t finished Baldurs Gate 3, every time I take a break, I have an urge to start anew instead of continuing an old save.

    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.

    I’m working on getting all the ending dialogues for Metal Slug Tactics right now. It’s a fun turn-based tactics take on the Metal Slug franchise with a dash of roguelike. The graphics maintain the series’ hand-animated aesthetic and the sprites are super-cute, but the most rewarding part is unlocking skills and weapons for each character to allow bigger and more ridiculous combo moves. Other than that, Stormworks, my “second job”.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Stardew Valley

    Hades 2

    Diablo 4

    These are the ones I’m rotating between most right now. I’ve also got Doom (2016) and BG3 on rotation, but haven’t hit them in a while.

    The Steam Deck has been such a great addition. Especially being able to stream titles like CP2077 from the PC for better graphical fidelity and battery life.

    Edit: Oh! And Geometry Wars 3! It’s so good on the Steam Deck! It says “Playable” but I genuinely don’t know why, it seems completely supported as far as I can tell.

      Some of my favorites right there! I guess I should try Geometry wars since it seems like we’re on the same page.
