The fact that no one has said anything about RimWorld shows how far you all have to go

RimWorld is great, but it’s a shadow of what Dwarf Fortress offers.

If you haven’t used the Geneva convention as a checkbox, have you really played Rimworld?

bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Haha yeah I just used the first games that came to mind, and since automation games are by far my most played I suppose those might be overrepresented. But rimworld is a time sink too haha

what about paradox games? avg user playtime of eu4 on steam is double that of factorio
bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
That’s fair, I never really got into the strategy genre so those didn’t come to mind. But I have people on my friends list who have an absolute insane played time in Civilization so I can see where you’re coming from
WonderRin@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I’ve been playing EU4 since around 2018-2019 (on and off, to be fair, not consistently), and still don’t know a lot of stuff about the game.

Oh, I should pick up Dyson Sphere again. They have enemies to shoot at now!
SmoothOperator@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I tried to get into it a while ago, but it felt so half-cooked. This weird voice-over with the mispronounced words, the obscure tech tree and overall progression, I don’t know…
It felt like a lot more work to get into than Factorio or Satisfactory did back in the day, with a smaller payoff.
Am I missing something?
50MYT@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This one is missing “captain of industry”
Anyone who ticks the factorio/satisfactory/Dyson box should check it out. Free demo.
Don’t blame me if you time skip a few days after.
bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I’m gonna check it out, the reviews look promising! Just gotta finish my dyson sphere first…

That’s literally my barber. Every time i sit there he asks: you play video games, right. And i’m like :yeah. Then he asks what i’m playing, and i just name the games i play right now. Just four or five games. Over the span of almost 10 years now, he hasn’t heard of any game I’ve played. When i ask him back, the answer is always either fifa or cod or both.

Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 months ago
I used to play everything. Then I developed a sense of taste and learned to recognize what I know I wouldn’t much care for, and don’t bother with those games. I like shit with complexity, depth of mechanics, and loads of weirdness. Like Dwarf Fortress, Kenshi, Earth Defense Force, and soulslikes.
dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
That’s me, but in a wildly different direction. Lol. I wanted to a be “gamer” so badly, because I enjoy story telling, puzzles, exciting worlds, all that jazz. But I figured out years ago, I’m just not that into most games. “Go kill these dudes/monsters/whatevers that want you dead” just isn’t a thing I can get into easily, so I found the games I like, which are generally not gamer-y games, and I play them to my heart’s content. And I’ll try other things, because you should always strive to try things you think you won’t like… But I’ve found what I like, and I mainly stick to it.
That is, when I actually have the time to play games and don’t choose TV or an audiobook+embroidery as my wind down routine

I’m halfway between the both of you (minus souls like games, fuck that noise) got any recommendations? I’ve been leaning towards “not gamery games” a lot more lately

Factorio
ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
That’s mostly because of programmers not autism, not all of us coders have autism. I mean I do, and I play Factorio, but these are all unrelated. I’m also trans and use Arch btw but those are irrelevant

It’s been a long time since I played Spreadsheets-In-Space. I knew it was time to quit when I could pay my monthly sub with isk earned in-game. It was becoming a second job of sorts. But I had a lot of easy success in high sec mining and getting margins out of it. But staring at mining lasers for hours on end was the worst part of it.

Is KSP a autistic game? If so I got at least 10,000 hours in.
ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
KSP definitely counts, but I think it’s the 10k hours that makes your experience with it autistic.
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Pretty sure any amount of hours over 2,000 automatically means it qualifies
AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
Absolutely. If you’re able to get that many hours into a game, it probably makes it an autistic game.
Though as I typed that, I realised my mom has an ungodly number of hours in Candy Crush, and she definitely doesn’t play that in an autistic manner (she’s just depressed and doesn’t have any friends)
ICastFist@programming.dev 2 months ago
(she’s just depressed and doesn’t have any friends)
Fucking relatable. I got 3 friends, barely see any of them because of adult life :/
Bongles@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
It’s gotta be right?
MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Just because I’ve built a death star and launched it doesn’t mean I’m autistic.
Agent641@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I never use RCS to dock in orbit. I can do it with reaction wheels and main engine alone. I don’t even bother to put RCS on my ships.
ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
My first 3 years playing KSP I didn’t realize you had to activate RCS with a hotkey.
Turns out I’m really good at docking.
MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I used to do stuff like that. For the last several years I just sandbox with full mechjeb and treat every launch like its the last ship off kerbin. If it doesn’t take twenty minutes real time to five minutes mission time on launch I need to add more parts. I use just a few mods. I have the full atmosphere pack, a fuel balancer and a part welder. Oh and I currently have the tardis added again.
I’ve been playing since it was in beta and there was only kerbin and the mun. It took a week to get to the moon manually and a few more days to go there and back. I was instantly addicted. That xkcd is me. I’ve had to use jeb to push the capsule out of orbit because I had used all fuel including the RCS. Wasted days creating a perfectly balanced communications constellation. Today though I really enjoy packing everything in to one shot and wasting years in time just going to a planet and farting around.
domdanial@reddthat.com 2 months ago
I only did that once on an Apollo style mun mission when I realized I didn’t put any rcs on it after 2 hours of mission. Took a few quick loads so I had enough fuel left to get back.
saturn57@lemmy.world 2 months ago
How do you play for that long? After 500 hours every mission feels the same, even with mods.
MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 months ago
First off I have both of the addon packs with all the robotics parts. I didn’t buy them. They just appeared in my downloads one day when the KSP site. I’m pretty sure I was one of the first people to buy it. I know I bought it early on the first day it went on sale. I have KSP 2 and its fun but the original is the one I really like.
I’ve built some really crazy shit. Did ultra low orbits on moons in just a suit. Parked multiple asteroids at KSC. I like it and when it gets boring these days I just don’t play for several months. I’m currently going for a base on every possible orbital body. I also have this mid sized rover made up of five by five x200-32 tanks welded together with large rover wheels and those are really fun jumping around on the mun. I added the realistic atmosphere pack to make flying kerbin more visually appealing with the realistic sky. I haven’t found a single game in the last ten years that I can stand for more than a few months. They seem to be all play to win these days and like many others they have lost me as a customers

Am i the only one sinking… ungodly… hours into Nethack?
topherclay@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Mastering nethack was one of my proudest achievements in a way that is incredibly embarrassing, but also the only people who know nethack enough to be properly embarrassed for me are also the people that might understand my pride lol.
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 2 months ago
For me it’s EUV. I can’t stop. I don’t want to stop, but I can’t. I have a very unhealthy relationship with the bastards at Paradox.
Zanathos@lemmy.world 2 months ago
After looking this up, I have apparently been playing a remix of this in the form of PixelDungeon, then moved onto the now superior Shattered Pixel Dungeon running 7 challenge mode.
If you’ve played these, how do they compare to Nethack as I won’t be able to give it a go for a few days?
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
Well, as a Factorio and Rimworld player I know which one I am…
Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 2 months ago
Okay, what games do you want to talk about?
fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I mean, that’s the same shit you see happening in music, books, movies…
Most of us stick with one genre, and then sometimes you get to appreciate the entire medium. But it’s not easy for everybody.
I always think it’s like colours. I can’t fathom people who actually genuinely have a favourite color they always wanna have.
But at the same time, if you ask me to read anything that’s not outside of a few favourite genres, it is a struggle.So yeah, at least try to appreciate that others may not like exactly what you like. And it’s okay if they only like the one thing. They are missing out sure. But you’re probably missing out on plenty of stuff too.
missingno@fedia.io 2 months ago
The death of monoculture comes for gaming too. The sheer number of games out there means you can always find some niche gem that really appeals to you and you specifically, but then you might not find anyone else who knows it and wants to talk about it.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m not ashamed to admit I have nearly 6700 hours in Fallout 4. I like what I like. I play it like Sims with shooting.
Well, I might be a little ashamed.
Delphia@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah I’m a sim racer, and I suck.
Today I’m playing GT7, tomorrow I’m probably play some GT7 and if I’m getting really frisky next week I might play some GT7.
Gotta git gud.

DeadMartyr@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I feel like the rise of live service games and rogue-likes that are based around incremental progression definitely shifted the status quo to everyone having like 1 game, maybe 2, where they spend most of their time. Every game seems to demand you commit more and more time.
The only exception I can think of is Paradox Grand Strategy type games (which is my secondary “main” game)
Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Be me. Spend 2 grand on new PC. Play sim city 3000 night after night after night.

I’m the worst type of gamer.
I think gaming is bad and think gamers have bad opinions.
My perfect game is Civilizaris Skypico 4X for the PS1.
Mostly.
If it’s not a magnificent 4x experience that makes me forget to blink for hours at a time, I want punishingly difficult quarter muncher style arcadey titles.
I have too much time in the Vlambeer games, and have way too much time in splatformers.
Jrpgs are OK too, but I only like them on handheld. I’m working through the PSX release of FF7 on my RGxx35sp right now and having a blast with it.
My tiny claim to fame is that I once beat After Burner Climax at Gameworks in Newport, Kentucky circa 2011
Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I feel like players like me, who likes games that don’t last more than 20-30 hours are a really small percentage of the players. There’s so many games that comes out every years that I want to play, I dont see how I could put all my gaming time in a single one. I don’t understand where people find the time to play hundreds and hundreds of hours of game time… I’m still working on playing games I bought years ago lol, and since I started to get the free epic games 2 years ago, I got like 100+ more games that I’d like to try.

Yes the same with sport. There’s too many damn sports there should only be one sport at a time.
All sports players should be required to play in all sports. I want to see baseball players doing ice hockey, but that would probably lead to a blood bath. So we’ll do that one at the end.
