I blame the search engines that encouraged this

Technofeudalism

Zelda?

Rimworld?

Death Stranding

I've never played such a unique big budget game. The core mechanic is terrain traversal to make deliveries, and the game continues to give you tools throughout it to accomplish that.

It's private at least, a good first step

Color management

I just made the switch, way smoother than I expected

I just block communities that are mostly memes, seems to work somewhat well

I discovered this game after I saw people recommend it if you like The Expanse. Very chill mining gameplay loop, controls different than anything else I've played

Baldurs gate 3, crosscode, and might give invisible inc or RimWorld a try. And some occasional Halo infinite, somehow it runs better on steam deck than my windows PC

Came here to recommend this

+1, would recommend for fans of Factorio or shapez

I gave it a try on steam deck, does control pretty well!

They support scrobbling?

What's big in 3.5?

New, political, angry

Spy - Bootlicker

Stacklands is very unique and crazy good

The bridge one is amazing

I give dota 2 a pass on any shitty monetization for cosmetics since they give all new heroes for free. I've played too many f2p games that don't do this, and new characters tend to be OP for some reason...

I really liked the original, did they change a lot?

It's not as good as my old reddit app, but I'm liking Jerboa

It's a bit different, but Thumb-key is an alternative style keyboard on fdroid

Dragons Dogma 1

For the same rehashed experiences 9ver and over again (mostly). There some good exceptions to that though, like Death Stranding and TotK

Mr Sun's Hatbox (maybe my GotY?)

Dragons Dogma 1

Looks very nice!

No idea. I'll check the GitHub out and mention it

Definitely! The gameplay loop of action <-> base management is super cool. You end up feeling attached to the characters you've leveled high, so the missions feel high stakes even though losing characters isn't really that punishing in actuality.

I thought the game looked too chaotic in the trailers, but it allows you to play methodically if you want to.

"I'm a person just like you but I've got better things to do"

+1, it's great

I would love an index like controller for PC gaming

It's nice on the couch, planes, trains, bed, etc

this is the best timeline

I think so (in terms of being heavy on the science part of scifi). You have to learn to fly with some more realism than a typical space game of this perspective, but it feels rewarding when you get the hang of it. I like that combat is less of a focus, but it's still there if you want it.

1.6 patch will drop soon hopefully

Thanks for sharing, I think a lot of people can relate to feeling unmotivated to do their hobbies after work. I read a blog post recently (struggling to find the link) that paradoxically feeling too tired for hobbies after work can be a vicious cycle, and you're better off trying the hobbies anyway to increase your motivation for doing them. That's really helped me with a game I'm working on. When I can't work on it for a while, I lose motivation. But once I make some small progress each day, I feel motivated to keep working on it.

Another +1 for navidrome here. Been using it for years now too, it's great

But why would the darn thing be wandering?

With a dock like that, doesn't it dangle while you use the deck as a controller?
