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?

And Rimworld.

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

How much money you got for computer? But also, there’s plenty of games that don’t need a card.

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.

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.

The biggest struggle I had at first was getting out of video game mode. With no objective trackers and maps being static on walls, it forced me to approach it differently. You have to rely far more on intuition than any other game I’ve played. You also have to pay attention to notes and general signage as it’s your only guide through a large portion of the game. Hopefully it clicks on your second go around. I wish there were more games like it.

I won’t buy anything while I’m unemployed with no budget it’s against my horticulture

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.

Space Station 14! It’s so goofy! I love the idea of a large scale semi cooperative roleplaying experience.

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.

That looks pretty nuts - how many people can be in the station at once?

Noita. Simple and clever.

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.
-
Hahah yeah checks out
-
Hey thanks, I’ll look into those options.
Though maybe ultimately I should just set up an emulator and enjoy the old memories like you did
-
Yeah that seems about right. For Xemu, you need the BIOS, MCPX and HDD Image Files separately, which can be found here. No further setup or config needed. You can find the ROM at The Vault. Ninja Gaiden 2 ROM is also available there.
I can send you my config file for Xenia if you want to avoid most of the fiddling, but most of it came from YouTube videos and Reddit threads I found when googling “NG2 Xenia”. It ran really well for me in the end. I experienced the audio bug maybe five times, and restarting fixed it every time. The graphical glitch artifacts were somewhat annoying the first handful of chapters, but still worth it for the higher resolution and completely disappeared after that (apart from during loading screens, but who cares about that).
You said you’ve played before so maybe you already have some fundamentals, but watching a tutorial video on YouTube that goes over basic principles can help a lot. The games sort of expect you to rely on certain mechanics that are never explained, and while you can figure it out yourself it’s probably smoother to watch a tutorial. Also just experiment with combos and weapons: NGB felt very well balanced and encounters that seemed impossible at first felt very possible once “figured out”.
Nice thanks for all that info and the links. I’m not sure if I remember how the gameplay worked anymore at all actually so maybe the tutorials are in order too.
Either way I’ll probably hit you up when I inevitably tire of Nightreign. I haven’t even played all the characters yet but I can tell my attention is starting to drift.
